I tried a key lime pie on the recommendation of our waitress. Amanda, and it was really good! The combination of RumChata, vanilla vodka and lime juice was excellent. Then we ordered the Irish rolls which had corned beef, sauerkraut, melted white cheese, and a creamy horseradish dressing inside. The Irish rolls were served with a side of creamy thousand island dressing, & made from scratch in house by the kitchen crew at Merry Arts. I thought they were delicious and my friend did too.
We also had an order of wings with the toasted sesame sauce which I thought was pretty good but my friend didn't care for. All in all we had a really good time, the service was excellent, the price wasn't crazy, and it was just like I remembered it from 20 years ago. This place doesn't change much and I wouldn't have it any other way. They have a wide selection of beers, an excellent menu, and just about every liquor on the planet. Parking is available in the back.

The Monday sandwich special is incredible, with something new every Monday!!!
The patio is one of my favorites in Lakewood… dog friendly(bucket of dog treats always ready) with a nice fun crowd and great ice cold drinks. The staff is always attentive and quick. Amanda is one of the talented day time bartenders who is exceptionally fast, always putting the customers first.
The Dave’s wing sauce specials on Tuesdays are killer and something everyone should be sure to have in their schedule. Perfectly prepared wings with a new sauce every week!
Patty’s tacos on Mondays and Thursdays
The Sunday steak dinner is an absolute STEAL!

Had a reservation for my baby shower here (because it was just a small group) and the restaurant called and canceled it on me day of.

I cannot remember the last time that I’ve had such a thoroughly underwhelming experience: From the poor service to the somehow burned and undercooked fish? Honestly, I would have been ashamed to serve the food.
I had to flag down one of three bartenders every time I needed a drink. The typical “push the empty glass to the edge of the bar” trick didn’t work. I asked for a refill on my glass of water, I was brought a half of a glass of water with no new ice. I realize that it’s hard to pull yourself away from talking to the other bartenders to actually pay attention and do your job, but seriously. These women were truly more concerned with looking at themselves in the mirror on the back of the bar than taking care of their customers.
The portion size of the fish was small. And like I said, it was both burned and undercooked at the same time. The fries were cold. They really needed to change their fry oil. The entire bar smelled of burned oil. And it was both undercooked and burned. It’s really very easy to make fried fish. They put zero effort into it. When I told the bartender that my food was overcooked? She giggled and said “sorry!”
By the end of my time there I had to leave the building just to get away from the smell.
You should really only go there if you’re looking to be grossed out, ignored and surrounded by bros that scream instead of just talking.

Great place, super nice people

Great staff. Old school sports bar feel. Solid snacks.

The Blonde girl during the day is the best. I wish I’d see her more often. Her name is Amanda I think? Best service ever even when it’s packed, and that NEVER happens in cleveland. Merry arts is probably one of the best bars in the Midwest.

If your looking for a fun time with amazing bartenders, especially Amanda come on down! Amanda is one if the bests🖤

Good eats and good service. Quite a bit loud for my taste. A young crowd with seat yourself tables.

Excellent Burgers! We got take out and it was great. Fast and affordable. 10 out of 10.
