“This place is sooo fun 🤩. You can pour your own beer and do something fun like different flights. This is how it works - you go up to the front desk and get a Tapsters card. Then you keep the card in the slot and put your beer. The faster you pour, the less the foam! Theres free popcorn and you can get food from Voodoo sushi next door! At the end you can drop it off in the slot boxes up front with the tip signs. The operation game is definitely missing some bones - please replace them, a lot of people like that game. The only thing we didn’t like is that you have to tip given the fact that you’re basically picking up and putting your dishes away, and doing basically everything yourself. You have to check out on the tablet upfront with the Person right there handing you the tablet. It’s a little awkward if you did not tip. Please get rid of tipping, I’m sure the people working there are salaried! Other than that, the place is fabulous! I would’ve given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the weird tipping!!“

“cute little place with amazing food. we ordered the dip trio & i got the loaded grilled cheese. it was well worth it, the candied bacon on it was phenomenal & drool worthy.

the service was great. bartenders were very hands on.“

“Once upon a time in the magical kingdom of Riverwood Cafe, there lived six legendary characters who made every visit feel like a fairy tale. ✨

Queen Michelle ruled the land with kindness and laughter, always making everyone feel welcome the second they walked through the doors. Sir Tony brought the charm, jokes, and energy that could light up even the darkest forest nights. Julie, the woodland fairy of good vibes, somehow made every table feel like home with her warm heart and contagious smile.

Princess Sarah sprinkled joy like pixie dust everywhere she went, while Brandon, the brave knight of Riverwood, kept the kingdom running smoothly no matter how wild the tavern became. And of course, Sam — the wise wizard behind the scenes — made sure the magic never stopped flowing.

Together, they turned Riverwood Cafe into more than just a bar… it became a storybook escape where laughter echoed louder than dragons and memories were made like happily-ever-afters. Whether you came for one drink or stayed until the clock struck midnight, you always left feeling like part of the kingdom.

5 stars for the most magical crew in the land. 🏰🍻✨“

“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.“

“Ate at The Third Place while visiting my mom during Thanksgiving. Had the Sunday special, the Meatball Casserole. It was delicious with lots of cheese and sauce to dip the garlic bread in. Also had a side salad. I recommend spending the extra $2.50 and getting the salad topped with fresh mozzarella. Yum! I wish I remembered the servers name. It began with a J. She did a good job and was friendly.“

“My buddies & I came in over the weekend and the vibe was awesome! The bartender told us they have a new drink menu - I got the frozen pina colada and my girlfriend got an espresso martini, both were great! Awesome service, a bunch of games, definitely recommend!“

“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.

Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“I've been going to Mike's Bar & Grille in downtown Berea for a couple of years now, and every time I'm in town I make it a point to stop in. I always look forward to trying their Burger of the Month and whatever new beers they have on tap or cans. The food is consistently good. They also do a nice job rotating monthly specials. They're very pup-friendly too, which has us excited to bring our Goldens along when we make the cross-country drive in the RV this summer. Solid food, great drinks, and a welcoming neighborhood spot. Highly recommend if you're in the Berea area!“

“On July 11, 2026 I ate honey mustard bone-in wings and fries. I was in town riding with Cleveland Bike Life. There was approximately 30 of us who came in at one time. The bar staff were nice, attentive, and very professional. They told us it would be a wait but I got my food in record time.

The wings and fries were hot and GREAT!!!!! I really enjoyed the food and they way the bar staff kept checking in to see if I was good.

I would absolutely come here again.“

“Met friends at the Clevelander prior to the Cleveland Guardians game and had a great time! Food was really good and the service was fast an friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

“I went twice here for dinner one on a Friday and one time for dinner the next day! while visiting Cleveland from Kent first time I went I got burger and tots second time was salmon dinner and for both times I got the server Jordan she did an amazing job and since I work at a restaurant myself it was neat talking and exchanging experiences of what’s it’s like working in the restaurants and I think when you meet other restaurant workers you can relate to one another. The food was great server did an outstanding job. The second time when the hostess’s was going to seat me I saw Jordan as they were going to seat me and requested her and she was like ya I can take you cause I rather have a server who I know does a good job at there job and who has a good personality and that’s what makes a restaurant and a great server I definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“We went to celebrate my granddaughter's 21st birthday. I was going to rent the party space but decided against it because we wanted to be inside the gaming area. We arrived at 2:45 in the afternoon on Monday. It was perfect timing because there was only a handful of people there. It did take a while to get a waitress to come to us. When she did she was very polite. They had a shift change we checked out with our appetizers and drinks with the first waitress. She stated she would let the oncoming waitress know about Us. It took a very long time before someone came over to help us with more cocktails and our dinner order. The food wasn't that great this time. Some things felt cold and just not tasty.
As usual it was fun because of all the games that we played. We probably would have had more attention if I had rented the partially private room. But in the end we all had a good time and we love going to DB's with the family for fun.“
