50 Best Pubs near Rocky River

“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.“

“Perfect place for Christmas dates or family or any date. 100% so glad we just happened to walk in after the toy store. Beautiful everything and the food is good!!!!!

Kid-friendliness: they have crayons and kids menu.its huge.“

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

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

“Absolutely love there food 🥘“

“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.“

“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.“

“They have Sunny D, that and a shot of vodka, double D.
Cheap, close, and the breaded/deep fried ravioli is great.
The Sweet Chili sauce comes out of a bottle, so do half of mine.
Cheap, neighborhood bar.
God I love Lakewood.“

“Great food, great service“

“best dinners since Augustinos in Brooklyn,oh where standard was veal parmesan and bottle of wine,no menu needed!! lol“

“I LOVE this pub. Perfect atmosphere, super friendly staff AND patrons. The draft is YUMMY 😋 A pub lover’s dream!! And the owners are pretty darn cool too😎♥️😘“

“Good bar and were u can have good time“

“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.“

“Great place to be!“

“Fun, chill bar. always a good time.“

“The atmosphere, beer, staff, support for good causes, and various goings-on give patrons so much to enjoy. Bookhouse has become so important to us that we even took some engagement photos there. This cozy alternative to the average sports bar or brewery is a real Cleveland gem“

“Great atmosphere, customers, food, service.“

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

“I wanted to like this restaurant so much. But the attention to detail when we visited for the brunch buffet was just lacking. The good: -Food was good. We especially enjoyed the macaroni, steak, and macrons. -The manager Josie was excellent and took the time to hear our concerns. The bad: -When we reserved we requested specifically for the lounge but were sat in the main dining room in a corner right by the kitchen. The table next to us was uncomfortably close with a loud group. When I asked about it I was told that there was no open space in the lounge area and we’d have to wait and the hostess argued with me about how I made the reservation even after pulling up the confirmation on my phone. -Being next to the kitchen, staff had music on loudly that was overpowering the music being played in the main dining area. The ambiance the restaurant was trying to pull off at that point just fell flat. The environment was overstimulating. Two kinds of music playing, loud kitchen, lots of people passing to set up a party. -Server did not want to take the time to answer questions or even get drink orders. She slammed things down on our table and was very dismissive. We felt like we were a burden. -Nit-picky about the food- but when you have an oyster presentation typically they’re shucked in a way that detaches the foot (or presented with small forks) and served with mignonette sauce and lemon as well as cocktail sauce. These oysters weren’t prepared or presented well. The sirloin was mis-labeled as prime rib. Prime rib was not an offering at all. Grits could have used more butter and salt. While it’s a pretty presentation, unless it’s cocktail shrimp, the tail on shrimp served in hot food should be removed in the kitchen. Overall- tasty and with a few changes could have been wonderful. We’ll give you a try again next time we’re in the area.“

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

“I really like this place I always forget about them they have such a varied menu but everything is pretty good. The one thing I do not like is their Booth style tables for a larger group have absolutely no room the table is just too big you can barely get in and out of the seats unless you're a very small child or a small person. It is very uncomfortable.

Parking: The paid parking spots are closer to the restaurant than free parking spots free parking spots are quite a distance away“

“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.“

“👍 great people , great food !“

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

“Great local spot. Delicious food & drinks.“

“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.“

“This was the second time my husband and I were here. Definitely a go back spot. There’s a bit of everything for everyone“

“Tucked away in the Battery Park neighbor, this establishment is top-notch. With a speakeasy vibe and a rich history, it did not disappoint. Mindfully crafted cocktails, and a highly talented chef, rounded out by excellent service. We had the Salmon, the vegan Cauliflower Steak, and the Creme Brulee. We look forward to another visit in the near future!“

“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! �“

“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“

“Went there tonight and had the best pizza I’ve had in years!“

“Hosted a small retirement dinner, great experience from the initial reservation to the final drink. The staff took great care of us & the food was very good! I definitely recommend!!!“

“Fantastic Hawaiian Pizza“

“The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The food is amazing, you can tell it was made with such attention and care! If you are wanting delicious food, that is also made in house give this place a chance, you will not be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

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

“Pulled pork w/ fries 🔥 Hamburger w/ fries 🔥 Po boy sandwich w/ fresh cut chips 🔥 Overall very good!“

“Friendly servers and staff“

“Stopped on a Saturday for lunch after visit at Aquariam. get food and portions. The service sucks. waitress was more worried about her phone then taking care of the customers. It was like yes were open come in. But dont order anything because then were a bother to them. ONLY RECCOMENDED BASED ON FOOD.“

“Great place to have a party!! We had a large group for a surprise party, the staff was incredibly accommodating. Brooke handled our large group like a champ! I can’t say enough good things about her. Our party of about 50 people could not get over how amazing she was. No one went without a beverage and the food orders were on point.
Absolutely so pleased with the experience… we’ll continue to have our parties here.
Brooke - you rock!!“

“One of the best bbq chicken pizzas I've had in the last 10 years. The peppers were an amazing tough. Dough was soft yet crisp, right amount of sauce, and the chicken was small pieces making it way easier to eat than most. The loaded Jojo's were amazing. Got delivery and everything was hot and perfectly prepared. Better than expected and will be ordering again!“

“Love this place. Def recommend going here for a quick bite or for the energy. Owners are amazing as well as the entire staff ! 🙂“

“Words cannot accurately explain how great our experience was tonight! I decided to celebrate my mom’s 78th birthday here due to the fact my mom loves Antonio’s pepperoni nuggets and she’s never been here before. We had 14 people in our party and Megan K. was an absolute rockstar! Everyone was so welcoming and gracious to my mom on her special day! Food was FANTASTIC!! Thank you all for a wonderful evening!“

“I absolutely love this place! ❤“

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

“Mia was amazinnng.... this was my first time here and I had a great time with music bingo! I'll definitely come back for bingo if she's hosting! The bartender Seamouss was very nice. You were out of a lot of menu items so I settled for the onion rings. I love the battered style rings. My first order was burnt. They remade them and they were soft and mushy. (One extreme to the next) I didn't say anything. I like the flavor so I'll try again. Fingers crossed!“
