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.“

“We had a party of five and we ordered a couple of appetizers five entrées and a few desserts. Everything was delicious! Our server, Sam, was awesome! We plan to return soon and we most definitely will ask for Sam as our server. It was a perfect delightful evening and we thank you for your attention to detail on everything.“

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

“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!!“

“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😎♥️😘“

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

“Absolutely love there food 🥘“

“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.“

“Fun, chill bar. always a good time.“

“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 food, great service“

“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 place to be!“

“Good bar and were u can have good time“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“We went for Happy Hour, yesterday on a Friday. We were seated immediately and our server was extremely nice. The appetizers came staggered and we ordered six plus mocktails. I forgot to take a picture of the pizza! Everything was pretty good. This wasn’t our first time dining here but it was the first time coming for happy hour and we will be back. The value was definitely worth it.“

“👍 great people , great food !“

“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!“

“📍 Moosehead Tavern – Westlake, OH 📸 @mooseheadsaloonwestlake This place is all charm and chill vibes. It’s cozy inside with a cool little patio that makes it feel like your neighborhood hangout—but with better food. Stopped in for a quick lunch today and lucked out—half-off ribs was on deck, so you know I had to jump on that. 🍖 Ribs – 7.8/10 Fall-off-the-bone tender with a flavorful sauce that hit the spot. Not fancy, just solid and satisfying BBQ at a great deal. 🍟 Fries – A mountain. Literally. They gave me what felt like 4 pounds of crispy golden fries—no complaints there. 🍅 Ketchup – Unexpected MVP Not sure if it's house-made or some secret blend, but the ketchup was different... and honestly? Delicious. It added something extra to every bite. Whether you’re out for a laid-back meal or a quick bite on a deal day, Moosehead Tavern delivers. Check it out if you’re in the Westlake area! 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

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

“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!!!“

“Great local spot. Delicious food & drinks.“

“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! �“

“Happiest place on earth!!“

“I absolutely love this place. The owners are amazing. The bartending staff is phenomenal and the food is out of this world. ❤️😍“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Anna And Amanda were great. My pizza was great. My first time trying them but won’t be my last“

“This is a bar/restaurant. It's a nice place to get some drinks and get dinner. Their menu has a little bit for everyone. They have a good selection of items on their menu....chicken, burgers, wraps, salads, and Mediterranean choices as well. Their food is pretty good and decently priced. They have a very nice patio, which is great when their is nice weather. Part of patio is enclosed/covered if you do not want to sit completely outside. Our waitress was very nice and patient. She checked on us often. The service was quick as well. Definitely check them out.“

“Fantastic Hawaiian Pizza“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Friendly servers and staff“

“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.“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“
