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.“

“Just had the best meal! Food was AMAZING and the service was outstanding. We got the cauliflower bites appetizer and it was so flavorful I could have eaten it for my main dish. My husband got chicken parmesan (it was a huge portion and the breading was phenomenal). My mother got chicken picatta, so tender. My meal (avocado and chicken flatbread) came literally 2 minutes after theirs, they apologized and gave it for free. They did not need to, it was only two minutes and it was worth the wait😋. We put the free meal into the tip and the waitress tried to refuse saying the tip was too much. Absolutely not, the food and the service justified it! We live in Elyria and I will be recommending Burntwood Tavern to anyone who asks for referrals! Thanks for a great Easter meal!!!“

“Absolutely love there food 🥘“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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😎♥️😘“

“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“

“Great food, great service“

“Great place to be!“

“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.“

“Good bar and were u can have good time“

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

“Big props to this place and Joey the cook is amazing 💚💚💚“

“From the solid beer selection to the incredible food, our experience exceeded expectations. We went to watch a Cavs game on a Saturday afternoon and this was one of the only places we could find that had the audio on, moreover they had multiple screens to view. At its core is a tried and true soccer pub but it also caters to Cleveland sports. As a bonus, it has the vibe of a medieval castle with incredible customer service. As someone who works for the industry, I can confidently say we had two of the friendliest bartenders I've ever met. If you are looking for a spot to watch a game this is your place. Highly recommend the wings and shepherd's pie and 11/10 will return to try their mac & cheese. Cheers!“

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

“👍 great people , great food !“

“St Patty’s Day Great food Great service“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“📍 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.“

“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.“

“Great breakfast! Friendly 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.“

“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“

“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“

“Hands down our best meal and experience in Crocker Park for our anniversary. The staff made the stop worth it! The environment was energetic and fun. The meal was great. The server, Jamie D. Knew if was our anniversary, communicated with management and we were personally congratulated. First time in 25 yrs. Would recommend this establishment to anyone and we will most definitely be going back. Can say enough!“

“Aviator Cleveland hosted our annual Costco strongsville holiday party. They did such an amazing job. The food was wonderful. The staff was accommodating and when out of their way to make the night as comfortable as possible. As the host and the head of our employee club, I usually have to stand at the front door and greet everyone for an hour and a half but they were nice enough to take on that responsibility. I want to thank the staff Stephen, Frankie, Samantha, Ashley, Jen, and Narren! You are wonderful!“

“We had a great experience this weekend at Teamz. We brought in a very large group 20+ for a team lunch. The staff was super accommodating. Our waitress Wendy was amazing and really handled such a large group like a rockstar. Our food came out quick for having so many people. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. We’ll definitely be back in the 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! �“

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

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

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

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

“Fantastic Hawaiian Pizza“

“Friendly servers and staff“

“Every 6-8 weeks I meet a couple of friends at Dina’s for lunch. We met Saturday Jan 3rd 2026 about 1:45. It was extremely busy. As soon as we were seated our server Jenn (Jennifer O) got down to business with us. She was calm, attentive and friendly. As we took up her booth for a while for a girls vent/tea spilling/catch up she was amazing! We knew the food was exceptional but Jenn was a huge bonus! Thank you from the buffet ladies!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“My new favorite restraunt. Whoever manages this place knows how to manage a restraunt. Our server was awesome, he did an excellent job. Checked on us the whole time. Its hard to get good service now a days. The food is amazing. We had the bison burger, shrimp and grits and fish and chips. Best Burger ive ever had, and I don't say that lightly, it was so good. Will definitely be returning.“

“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.“
