“Friendly staff- extremely lovely people work there. Been attending this pub on and off for many years whenever I'm in town and I am never disappointed. Nice, low-key, laid-back atmosphere (in a GOOD way), digital jukebox (us lazy tipsy people can play songs right from our phones if we so wish- plus, who carries cash anymore?), decent variety of beers on tap and did I say the staff rules? They're great. It's my go-to spot whenever I'm in town.“

“I went to Sauced tonight an hour before they closed. I was served by Alyssa (blue hair) and she was literally so accommodating, nice and overall so helpful. The service was 10/10! I will be back! �“

“My corner bar where I have a beer with my friends.“

“Place is great! The comedy show last night was packed and featured a lot of talented comics. Love the patio too!“

“Great drinks and atmosphere, met friends there and had a great time!“

“I order the pizzas and gyros which are always fresh and delicious. All the fresh prepped veggie toppings make the pizzas irresistable. Eating in is always a good relaxing experience with large private booths and ample entertainment on the TV screens. All this combined with great low prices and an always welcoming staff compel me to give it an overall 5-star rating in all categories.“

“The Rush is sort of the quintessential fun and welcoming neighborhood bar/restaurant. It's a good place for an affordable meal and some drinks during game, a casual meet up, or a dinner before a show.You can choose bar or booth seating on the bar side or the restaurant side which has larger booths and is separated from the bar by a dividing wall. The staff is always very friendly, fast, and helpful. There are TVs on both sides usually tuned to the Cavs, Guardians, or Browns games depending on the season. The fish fry and potato pancakes are excellent and the soups and chili are on point. Fried items will sometimes take a while during peak times though, so if you plan on seeing a show at the Beck Center make sure you arrive well before your showtime.

The bar side atmosphere is very casual and relaxed, the drinks are good, and the bartenders are attentive and friendly. There's a mix of domestic and smaller independent breweries on tap usually including a cider, which I like and the environment is just generally welcoming. The booths and taps are always very clean, and while the decor is absolutely the most generic thing you have ever imagined, it is well kept. Now while some more cultured people like to have drinks in a more modern bar, underneath some strange hanging light that looks like a nipple, standing next to a life size plastic penguin that's been spray painted gold, I actually appreciate the classic bar/diner environment and that's why the Rush Inn is my local go to bar.“

“I was invited to a music gig on a Sunday several weeks ago and have stopped several times since. It's a great place and bike riding distance from my home. Each time I've met new friends and owner and bar are authentice and unique! The music presented is such a gift.“

“Great services! Excellent brunch“

“Absolutely love there food 🥘“

“Shauna is the best bartender and makes a killer Bloody Mary“

“Friendly atmosphere and a lot of drink choices.“

“The DJ with the mashups! I could NOT stop dancing! So much fun!“

“Great Service and Selection of drinks“

“Great place to go before Browns home games. Eddie the door man was a great guy!“

“Dishonest bartender by the name of Jessica who always work Sundays. Caused me to be not allowed in your establishment. I would have witnessed her drink behind the bar with her two friends at the very end, please don't dispute your bill!! in this neighborhood for 30 years and this owner tries to run me out. European descent, maybe she should remember why she came to this country for freedom and Free Speech!!“

“Great neighborhood bar. Grew up in this area feel safe. Great place to meet old friends n make new. Love that the owners participate in fun activities n karaoke nights. Fun place to watch football n have special occasions at. Stop in and see for yourself.“

“Great patio, dog friendly 🐾“

“Great place to be!“

“First and foremost, let's talk about the service. Phenomenal!! Rachel was so attentive, friendly, engaging, and very helpful. Considering she was the bartender and my family and I were on the patio, watching a Browns game, she was busy. We never felt neglected. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was hot and fresh. This was my first time at Kelly's. I'm the one who chose it for our family event, and I'm glad I did. We will be back! I highly recommend Kelly's. It's roomy, clean, family friendly, great parking, and easy to find.“

“Best watering hole on the North end of Parma. Clean. Attentive and fun bartenders. Many good items on the menu. TouchTunes. Keno. Golden Tee. Tons of TVs and monthly or weekly food specials. It’s Parma at its best - no pretentiousness with a friendly local crowd. If you’re looking for a place to become a regular, this is it.“

“Had a nice meal this evening. Rocco, the new chef, is an excellent addition to the Stone Mad team. BBQ chicken was excellent, My wife enjoyed her vegan burger. The chicken paprikash with pretzel appetizer was a pleasant surprise (I'm very picky about chicken paprikash) Almost licked the bowl finishing the apple cobbler dessert. Our server, Bobbi, was extremely helpful in every way imaginable We will be going back with friends next time“

“Fun, chill bar. always a good time.“

“Good bar and were u can have good time“

“Great food, great service“

“Best food! Great food, great pizza, chicken parmesan dinner, c’mon!“

“GREAT pizza, great atmosphere! Get there early if you want pizza!!“

“Mike is the BEST!!! One of the best places I’ve been to eat - travelled here from Dayton for family members surgery at Cleveland Clinic …. This was a phenomenal surprise!“

“Bookhouse is an absolute gem. Amazing beers in a variety of interesting styles, friendly & attentive bartenders, and a nice relaxing environment. You'll feel welcome no matter who you are. Ask the bartenders about the history of the building if you're a history buff, it's extremely cool and unique. If you're like me and enjoy going out for a beer, but want to be somewhere you can have a conversation without sports or other TV blaring at you, this is the place to be!“

“We weren’t expecting to pop in here but we’re suckers for Irish Pubs. Food and atmosphere was excellent. Welcoming, fun, spirited.“

“Food wasn't bad, the desserts were lacking.. but I am posting a review in regards to the service. Assuming she was a manager- but she was snarky and rude. Granted I messed up my reservation by adding one 12 year old child to it, her attitude ruined the experience before I could enjoy the ambience. Whenever I make reservations, I never include the 1 year old as a seated dinner- instead I add a comment in the notes. This "manager" said to me "well yea he is a person" in a very unprofessional manner. Then when we got the bill, my 12 yr old son was charged as an adult and she gave me a look when I asked to adjust it. Clearly she doesn't know what 7th graders these days looked like. I would have rather showed proof than deal with her reaction.“

“From the solid beer selection to the incredible food, our experience exceeded expectations. We went to watch a Cavs game on a Saturday afternoon and this was one of the only places we could find that had the audio on, moreover they had multiple screens to view. At its core is a tried and true soccer pub but it also caters to Cleveland sports. As a bonus, it has the vibe of a medieval castle with incredible customer service. As someone who works for the industry, I can confidently say we had two of the friendliest bartenders I've ever met. If you are looking for a spot to watch a game this is your place. Highly recommend the wings and shepherd's pie and 11/10 will return to try their mac & cheese. Cheers!“

“Cool spot! Had a great time with friends!“

“👍 great people , great food !“

“The food was delicious and the beer was cold!“

“We did a private party for our 50th wedding anniversary on 9/21/24. Everything was fantastic including the staff, the food and the atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. June was super helpful. We grew up in the neighborhood and this was the perfect place. Highly recommend for a private party.“

“Quant bar and grill with authentic heritage specials. Establish in 1917.. I wonder if my dad ate here back in a day?“

“Love this place! Always a great atmosphere with a family feel. The bar offers occasional extras like contests, live music and just fun people! The food is beyond yummy!! The cook offers great twists on regular dishes and the prices are reasonable. Check the place out!! Well worth the stop!!! Be sure to say hi to Moose if he's there when you stop.“

“I love this place. Truly. Mel is one of my favorite people in the world, and to have her as a bartender is even better. Lin is also another definite stand out.Great food, good drinks. It being a trucker bar can be kinda hit and miss with the people. I’ve had great conversations and times with people here, and sometimes it makes you wish these guys would just stay in the truck, and keep the clowning to 19.But hey! Such is life. Get the prime rib if you can! It sells fast!“

“Great local spot. Delicious food & drinks.“

“The food was good but our drinks took longer to get than our food. Cool“

“The Perch diner is the best in Cleveland.“

“Hands down our favorite place while visiting this area . My husband said it was so good he’d drive the 6 hours just to eat here again. I asked for something prepared a little differently due to an illness and the chef came out to chat with us to make sure! The way he prepared it was perfect! Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“I don’t go out to bars much these days but decided to stick my head in on St. Paddy’s as I’ve driven by a bunch. Looks so low key and not at all obnoxious from the outside - no advertisements for various alcohol, just a good old Christmas Story lamp in the window. Inside, it’s a warm and friendly neighborhood pub that made me feel welcome. Full of Irish cheer on the big day, but I’m sure there is some of that year round. Prices for a pint were fair maybe even in the lower side. Some places regulars don’t really like new people coming in or are cool or suspicious towards them. Not here at all. I barely drink anymore but if I was going to have a goto neighborhood pub this would be it.“

“One of the best little bars in Lakewood it's been there forever and used to be called The Mighty Mouse now it's called Mullins air on the owner is one hell of a cool dude and all the bartenders there are very very polite and helpful prices are very affordable as well and they got Touch Tunes on the jukebox so you can hear any music you want definitely stop in when you're in the neighborhood and enjoy“

“Oh yea, zee best Except owner never there“

“A suburban bar with a dive feel. Drinks are good, staff is super nice! Plenty of seating. They have pool tables , darts, and even an old school pinball machine. I lived in the area for three years and when I am back in town to visit my friend it is our go to place!“
