49 Best Bars near Olmsted

“Nice little local bar with bar food. Service was good for a super busy Saturday night. Food was hot and delicious. I highly recommend the pizza fries. I forgot to take a picture because we were so hungry when we got here. Waitress was lovely and drinks were good. “

“Food was great. My only complaint would be the Queso. It came to the table luke warm but the flavor was good. The birria torta was great but wish it came with a side of consommé to dip the sandwich in cause it was a little dry but very flavorful. The chili was delicious!“

“Understaffed at the bar on a Friday night. bar server with full bar and she's also serving tables. 15 minutes to get served... and she's also getting drinks for the waitresses... and she didn't have a clue as to why we left... G.M doesn't have a clue either, as you wouldn't allow poor service to exist in your establishment on one of the busiest nights of the week - we took our $165.00 for dinner and drinks elsewhere where service was great ??“

“Very cool. Nice selection of beers. Qick attentive service. Cool vibe. Had the Baja shrimp taco and a voodoo Ranger. Spot on! Great tunes!Kid-friendliness: Seen some families with kids. Seemed to be pleased. Like mac and cheese but tacos!!“

“Met Sara the owner here. Such a nice conversant woman. Knows how to make great ice cream and Egg salad. Nice friendly place for conversation and also meetings. Has great teas, coffee, sandwiches and as I said homemade ice cream. Lovely imported cookies, crackers and sunderous eatables. Also has gifts for sale in store. Store hard to spot, but a great meeting place for friends or business people to meet. Impressive best kept secret in Bay Village.Vegetarian options: Has good tuna and egg saladKid-friendliness: No kids when I was there, but lots of area to spread out in the restaurant.“

“Great food. Friendly staff and inventive drinks. (Hibiscus). They put on fun shows and have theme nights. Sunday brunch. All are welcome here. They do not tolerate idiots which is awesome for everyone else just wanting to have a capitol time. They also give local artists a place to showcase their fine work.“

“First time visitors while we were shopping nearby. Food was delicious, arrived quickly on a busy night, and the server Nancy was a true professional. We tried to save some of the onion rings appetizer to take home but the two of us finished them all before the food arrived! I had the small Ahi crunchy salad but it was a perfect dinner portion.“

“My husband and I came on a Friday night around 8pm. It was busy and lively inside. We were told it'd be. 30-45 minute wait but we could wait at the bar. There were actually a couple bar stools open so we just ended up ordering and eating there. Our table actually only took 10 minutes to be available. We did not let our phones eat first lol, hence the bad photos. I got the shrimp basket and side salad. Shrimp was so good and the cocktail sauce tasted like they made it with the perfect amount of horse radish. My husband got the fish and chips. Fish was flaky and tender and the fries were yummy! Even though both items were fried, they didn't feel super greasy or heavy. We loved our meals and would recommend.“

“Had a the grindstone burger! Truly the best burger I've ever had. The BBQ sauce on it was top notch! Do ur self a favor, take onion rings, onions and lettuce off and get some mac n cheese with it and put it ON the burger with it! ??? we live close to 2 hours away but already looking forward to coming back!“

“This is a very interesting and cool place to visit. From the beer selection to the facility it self. Being a brewing company with a wide variety of Ales and IPAs for everyone. We loved the self guided tour you can take. It's just a walk around hallway posted on the walls. It tells you the beginning history of the Fat Head Company and how it landed in Ohio. Yes....we purchased a tin sign for the garage.“

“If you have not tried aces depot do your mouth a real favor and go immediately the food was absolutely amazing everything you order is made fresh and in house had passed this bar and grill for many years and never thought to go try it finally did and if I could give 10 stars I absolutely would best food in the area amongst all other restaurants and bars in the area the bartender was absolutely amazing very on top of everything and would educate you on everything they have or that they can make“

“We love stino. Only cash or check. There is a cash machine in the restaurant. It is some of the best italian on the west side. We have been multiple times, and the eggplant and chicken are all great and dessert and a gluten-free dessert, too. And they have decaf cappuchino. The food is great and is a reasonable price for white table cloth style. You can come as you are, don't need suit or dress.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“I travel frequently and always search out Indian cuisine. I stumbled across this little place quite by accident, the small parking lot was full so I figured the local people knew something. That’s a serious understatement, this place stands toe to toe with any Indian Restaurant I’ve ever been in, and I frequent Indian Restaurants all over. My work takes me to different areas, so I think I have experience with different cuisines. This place is a real treasure, if I lived closer, I would be a regular. I encouraged the owner to open a branch in my small university town, but he’s got a jewel of a restaurant right here. Take my word for it, hands down one of the best dining experiences anywhere!“

“My very first time ever was amazing, loved the atmosphere ❤️ music, service was beyond amazing ? most definitely will go back. Bartender was Destiny "speechless " never had to ask for anything after the first order. Beyond professional, friendly, beautiful & met the owner yeah I'm going back lol“

“Effortlessly trendy but unpretentious bar to chill and grab a drink at after work. Great variety of self serve drinks, I was impressed w the NA options like kombucha and cold brew. Friendly regulars, employees, and owner make you feel at home immediately! We go for trivia and darts league every Tuesday/Thursday but I'm most impressed with the quality of their Secret Society Comedy night w/ no cover. This place is a Lakewood hidden gem!Parking: Always street parking in front and large parking lot behind with open back door“

“Went here, for the very first time, and found out there were two other parties celebrating their's as well. Anyways, the food was outstanding and the service was great. You get a very generous portion that I doubt anyone can finish. Will plan on frequenting this establishment since it's only a mile and a half away from home.“

“I live in the neighborhood and love Woody's for the neighborhood bar that it is. There are three solid options for dive bars and drinks in the Triskett and Lakewood Heights area. Those options are Kelley's Pub, Woody's and Casey Jones. They are conveniently located off of the rapid Red Line train so if you are a yuppie living downtown, Ohio City or Tremont, hop on that old train, head west and slum it with some real Clevelanders.“

“Authentic Taiwanese food which is a rare find in the area! The Taiwanese Yan Su Chicken was really delicious. The dang dang noodle and spicy beef noodle were just like what you would get in Taiwan. The chef and staff were very friendly and the dining area was clean and comfortable.“

“We are from Texas and had a few hours to relax before catching some sleep. The good lord lead us to this place! We were a little reluctant driving up and then had the best time!!! Great staff. Great food. Clean, well laid out space. I wish we could say we will be back! Definitely would if we weren't 1300 miles away!“

“Ordered Cauliflower Crust with Red Sauce, No Cheese and Veggies. It was really good and the crust was awesome. A good delight before I start a detox ?Vegetarian options: Fresh. Although pineapples were not sweet but it was okay. The only downside.Dietary restrictions: No cheese. Honored my request with no issues“

“A bit slower pace restaurant but not bad. Gave you time to relax. We arrived at 4:45 and saw they had an early bird menu. My friend had shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta for I believe $12.95. She said it was very good. It came with bread and a dinner salad. I had an 8oz prime rib dinner that was also good. It was cooked medium as requested. It came with Salas, baked potato and bread for $17.95. It's an older restaurant and it shows but it was clean. Our server was very nice. I heard people saying the steaks were good so I plan to go back and try one. All prices seemed very reasonable. Overall it was a pleasant experience.“

“First, the beer is amazing. Second, the food is fabulous! I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was the best! My wife had the Mahi Mahi wrap she said it was amazing. We both got the coleslaw as our side and were glad we did. Third the atmosphere and service was great. We will be back.“

“Had such a fabulous dinner for 9 people (including 1 toddler) and everyone loved their meals. Our server Gwen was WONDERFUL-- friendly, fun, efficient, and helpful. We ordered a variety of choices-- Chicken entree, Lobster cakes, Mussels, Ahi Tuna-- everything was delicious! Deserts (Creme Brûlée, flourless choc cake, etc) also delish. VERY good value for a lovely restaurant with terrific food and great service.“

“Taki's is great, but it is pretty difficult as a celiac! I did not even make it through dinner..... That said, our server was wonderful, and did her best. My gyro-connoisseur husband liked, but did not love the gyro. The pita bread looked amazing, and I was told it was. I had the kitchen salad with grilled chicken, which was juicy and flavorful. Taki's is very popular and busy, and the staff is great, especially the bartenders. Give it a try!!!“

“Nothing like Close Quarters. I lived in Westlake for 2 years in 97-99. This was my favorite watering hole. The atmosphere was unlike any other place that I have been. I traveled throughout the Great Lakes. You feel like you are home with friends the first time you walk through the doors.“

“I recently used Amy Hudson as my day of coordinator, bartender, and lines for my wedding and everything was perfect because she was such a big part of my day. If I could do it all over again I’d hire her again and again. She was absolutely amazing the entire day!!!“

“Mario was AWESOME!! I was back in town visiting my daughter when i decided to stop in for a drink. He made a point of welcoming me and asking my name. He was engaging and very fun to chat with. The atmosphere was just what I was looking for!! Go see Mario on Monday’s he’ll take great care of you!! I’ll be back Ricky“

“This was such a cute little spot to stop for dinner -- it's no wonder it was so busy! The ambiance was cute -- there were candles, eclectic glasses, and even artworks. The pizza itself was delicious - the sauce really sets both the tomato sauce and white pizzas apart. Plus everyone was super nice. Best pizza I've had in Cleveland.“

“We love to support local restaurants and Bar Nova is one of our favorites! We often get carryout and everything travels so well. It is prepped with care.Parking: There is limited parking right near the restaurant, but there is a large lot not far away.“

“One of my favorites. The food and atmosphere are terrific. We prefer to sit in the booths near the fireplace. The service is good but not great. We’ve had a waitress a few times that is excellent but we’ve had a couple of other servers that were good but not great which makes the service a bit inconsistent for me. Overall we really enjoy coming here and would recommend for others.“

“Tried Harry Buffalo while in town for a work trip. The Buffalo chicken egg rolls were really good with the dipping sauce. I personally wasn't crazy about the wings. They were ok but I've had alot better, but I think I would eat it again.“

“Food was delicious. I had the spinach dip and the philly cheese steak. The beer was cold and they had a lot of local options. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very personable and attentive. I was there for the solar eclipse and made several friends at the bar with my extra eclipse glasses. Would definitely recommend visiting here.“

“The Food was Great & the Server was Awesome. Nice and Attentive Helpful etc. Atmosphere was Very Quite & laid back. The food was Hot . That's a Plus. All & All A one service and Food. You will definitely love it. Hat's off to the Cook??? ❤️.Dietary restrictions: Well!! I chose the Turkey burger ?.

“A great place to enjoy a perch fish fry cold beer and friendly folks. Excellent assortment of sandwiches, burgers and American fare all prepared well and served quickly. Some upscale offerings as well. A large chalkboard features daily specials, food and drink. A real gem in Avon Lake on Lake Rd. Large parking area and cozy patio in back.“

“The food here is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS- try the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken with the pink sauce - it's divine!! The mozerella sticks have an amazing cheese pull and their marinara is so good my mouth is watering as I type this review ?“

“When I walked in I was greeted very nicely, then proceeded to get a 2x4 thrown at me. I was then asked for my order and well , how do I say this, I ordered a simple burger and then was asked if I wanted to see how they got their beef, I was taken to the back and was then molested by 2-3 of their employees. I’m not complaining. 5 stars. Recommend“

“This place is FANTASTIC!! Dont miss it! Looks like a speak easy! Very quiet, like it's a secret! But it has the same menue as the winking lizzard! Same food! Great beer and spirits! BUT, no kiddos allowed! So you could say it's a grown ups place? We truly love it!“

“I am giving this a four star rating because the artwork inside was really great. Otherwise it would be three stars. We got the new burritos. It isn't that they didn't taste good. It was what's inside. Tater Tots??? And where was the free chips and salsa? At what they charge it should be included. Next time we will go to a more authentic Mexican place. Our mistake.“

“Chris was definitely the highlight of our experience! Took my 3 grandkids ages 8-11 and he was so personable and made going out to dinner fun for them! Don't get out to that area often but definitely planning to be there October 2nd! Thank you Chris for your outstanding service!“

“Quite honestly one of the greatest bars I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. The owner, the bar staff and all the visitors have been lost excellent. I've been here 5 times in the last week and they continue to exceed expectations.“

“Came here a few weeks ago before a show. Had the pleasure of sitting on the patio during a beautiful day. Our waitress was a sweetheart. The food was all soooooo good! My friend is vegetarian and loved all the available options! Definitely plan on going back and trying more food!“

“Nice little local bar on the edge of n. Ridgeville. Affordable food and drink. Amazing how many options that are available to eat and drink here. They are keeping it simple which I really like. Mitch was our bartender and was very friendly. I will be going back to this little gem. It is very small and cozy. Thanks!Parking: Not a ton of parking but is adequate“

“I've traveled all across the country and been to hundreds of dives and The Islander is hands down my favorite place to go. The food is great, the steaks are done perfectly and the staff are all very sweet and attentive, even when it's at full capacity. Coco, thank you for the warm welcome the first night I came in there. Brooklyn, Kate and Amanda, y'all made the best team and a great environment on New Year's, the rest of the staff that I don't recall all of your names, all of you have made this the best place ever. To the local crowd, thank you for making a complete stranger feel very welcome and included. If you're new in town, stop in, you'll find many new friends!“

“The parking lot is a bit treacherous, all old brick but we keep coming back because it is cozy. We have never had a bad experience. Old school italian/ I always have the eggplant and my husband loves the Salvatore shrimp and all vodka rigatoni. Try it/ it's lovely and qaint/ a step back in time/ great friendly staff.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly pizzas and kids mealsWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible 100+ year old building“

“I recently visited The Wooden Nickel Bar & Grill with a friend and we had a delightful experience. We kicked off our meal with the Mozzarella Moons—an appetizing take on mozzarella sticks. These cheese-filled delights were the perfect start, boasting a deliciously gooey center.For my main course, I chose the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was enjoyable, though it didn’t quite dazzle my taste buds as much as I had hoped. However, my friend's BBQ Pulled Pork was a showstopper. After sampling a piece, I can confirm it’s a dish I'll be ordering on my next visit; the flavor was spot-on.The ambiance added to our pleasant dining experience. The Wooden Nickel offers a soothing atmosphere, with an array of TVs for casual viewing without overwhelming noise—great for those who appreciate a laid-back dining environment. Our waitress was attentive, making our visit all the more enjoyable.I’d wholeheartedly recommend The Wooden Nickel Bar & Grill to anyone looking for a new spot to dine. Whether you’re craving a cheesy appetizer or a hearty BBQ dish, this place has got you covered.Parking: I can see it can get hard finding a parking spot when crowdedWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly“

“Are you on the way to the airport and want to take the edge off? Stop here before you blow $100 at Sammy's airport bar! Keep that money for your vacation! Nice little out of the way dive bar with friendly locals. It is dog friendly! Just as long as your dog ain't angry!“

“The service was great and the food was amazing! They make their bread inhouse and everything was super fresh. This was our first visit and Stephanie our server was very helpful and nice. We will definitely be back often.Vegetarian options: You can change the burgers for veggie patties and they have other options as well!“

“Kat was our server and did an excellent job. In our party, some ordered sushi rolls, hibachi and sashimi. Everything was very tasty. They even brought out some samples of other sushi rolls for us to try. We went during lunch, and there is a nice variety of specials offered. We would eat there again.“
