25 Best Dive Bars near Rocky River

“Best pizza ever! Food is way better than “bar quality” high quality ingredients, and delicious recipes. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good layout with lots of TVs. 10/10“

“Had an awesome time after the Kathleen Madigan show last night! Fast service, cool people.“

“New owners (Doug & Mary) are AMAZING!!!! The atmosphere is incredible, the food is DELICIOUS and the prices are VERY reasonable!!! I will definitely be back!!! Another great gem in Berea!!!“

“Atmosphere is unique, friendly and relaxed and Tom is great at making everyone feel special and welcomed. Great place to spend time with good people. Good drinks and good food 🍻🍴🍸🍷“

“keeping all of you in my prayers. I can't wait to come and chill with some pretzel shots!“

“Been a regular here for a decent amount of time. The bartenders are always fantastic, the atmosphere is always superb. No wonder this bar was voted the best neighborhood bar in Cleveland. It shows in the care, dedication and commitment to the craft the bartenders show. Great prices, better conversations. Only downside is, the chip selection could be better.“

“Cheap drinks, karaoke a group of amazing friends? You can’t go wrong with this place. I feel like is a great option to start or end the night with friends. The bar can get loud so if you want a nice sit down place this may not be the spot as people loudly screaming karaoke cannot be avoided but it is entertaining! Highly recommend this dive bar if you want a space to share with friends and if you enjoy karaoke it’s perfect.“

“Maybe I'm biased because I've never seen them lose here, but, for me, there's no better place in Lakewood to watch a Browns game. With the potluck dishes it's like family. Fuggetaboutit!
Patio is second to none also.“

“Based on my first try: it's a Wednesday at 7 P.M. It's June 5th and it's about 75 degrees. Light breeze. There's about 5 people. All of them are nice. Didn't see my future wife. But I ordered pizza down the street and they had beer. I'll come back again“

““Where Time Stops and the Beer Flows”

Absolute gem of a corner dive — the kind of place that keeps the locals hydrated, happy, and maybe just a little too honest. No frills, no pretense, no craft cocktail menus written in cursive. The vibe here is simple: they pour it, you drink it.

Décor? Let’s just say it’s less “HGTV” and more “grandpa’s basement that knows how to party.” But the stools are comfy, the drinks are cheap, and there’s Skee-Ball for anyone with the attention span of a goldfish (me).

Bonus points for the crock-pot cuisine — free snacks that taste better with every beer. Jukebox humming, game shows blaring, regulars laughing. Plenty of parking out back for your chariot home.

This is Parma dive bar royalty. Come thirsty, leave a legend. 🍻“

“Best bar food in Lakewood! The wings are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVERY TIME!!!“

“Whether it’s 7am or midnight this is the place to be! Impeccable service with a great atmosphere. The crowd here is hilarious and friendly as well. They have karaoke on Friday and Saturday. If you’re looking for a great time with a down to earth crowd then this is the place!“

“One of my favorite Cleveland bars ☺️“

“Great patrons, Great staff, Great music, Great food! Reasonable prices.“

“The lake Perch is outstanding! Fresh!“

“Food 5/5 everything was good and fresh.

Service lost a star for getting my order wrong, but the bill was correct.

Atmosphere lost points for having dust and cobwebs. They have ledges with decorative objects, they should just get rid of the decorations. Make the environment easy to clean.“

“Ya know, the place is great fun. The owner (Rick) is a really great guy. People are fun and I'd rate the experience higher if it weren't for the idiot "manager" (Brandon). This fool discourages and turns away people because he is a racist. Yup! Idiots are still out there. Unfortunately, they let this TOTAL looser run the place because he claims to have info on people in high places. He makes the stuff up! Hand to God's, it is total truth. Have a couple cocktails with friends, when you are on your way out he will call the Lakewood police on you. Instantly ruining your life!!! I KNOW!!! Who pulls that kind of sick move?!?! BRANDON at Corky's on Detroit!!! I know it's the absolute truth! He did it to my best friend.“

“I am so disappointed I didn't know about this place sooner. I've lived in and around Berea most of my life and somehow drove past here at least a few times a month without ever noticing it. The owner personally greeted us when we came in, made sure we felt welcomed, our server was fantastic; attentive, accurate with our orders, and also funny, I appreciated that she picked up on the vibe of our table and played off some of our jokes with each other and made sure we never had an empty glass for long. The only reason I can't give a full five stars on the food category is that the clam chowder was, no offense, genuinely one of the worst soups I've ever had in my entire life, but the other soup (Chicken tort.) and all the appetizers I tried, as well as the patty melt I had as my main course were tasty enough to make up for the clam chowder. Reasonably priced beer on tap, diverse food menu with some real interesting options, friendly staff, and a convenient location. I absolutely intend to come back soon.“

“if you're from out of town, looking for something you can't find at home that's worth telling your friends about when you get back, stop looking and come here.

my friends and i ended up here by chance, and the only thing between me and coming here at least once or twice a week is the four hour drive and gas prices.

i genuinely suspect they are incapable of making bad food.“

“if you don't go you won't know how great it is“

“Great prices on food and drinks. Nice people. They have karaoke too. Update 9-20-25. Didn't like potato skins. Liquid nacho cheese is used. Buffalo sauce was sweet. Didn't like the butter dauce either. Last food order T-TH is 6:45pm. Fri & Sat 1:45 am. No kitchen Mondays & Sundays, unless it's a Browns game.“

“Kataplnktiko mpravo George“

“Ryan is AMAZING! he makes the best drinks and is always here and always working so hard. I'm always so happy when he's our bartender :)He works bar and kitchen which is super impressive. Get his food and drinks. You won't be “

“My first visit there was for karaoke last week Melissa made me feel so comfortable I felt right at home what a great space I will be back“

“Love this hole in the wall bar. Although I don't drink anymore, it's still good to stop in and visit the people I know from time to time. I just don't like Jim can never keep the kitchen open. Visit his other place, Cleoh's on Brookpark road in Fairview Park..good food there.“
