“Traveling through in my old custom van in May. Cold rain tired hungry thirsty. Then I found this place. The warmest small bar I stopped at on my 4,500 mile journey. The folks in and behind the bar were Fantastic. Treated me like I had been going there for 40 years. Thank you very much- Marty ( a weary traveler)“

“Very friendly staff. Never been to a "beer store" before, coming from NY. Was cool that they sold beer, and also served beer. Not sure if that's how they all are, but if I find myself in Erie again I'll definitely go back to 1000 Beers.“

“The bloody Mary’s on Sunday are the best in town! Food is amazing and great staff“

“good drinks and always a great time!“

“Sad such a fine comfortable customer friendly tavern is riddled with horrible troublemaking customers. I was told some black customers want to destroy this fine white established biz. The food, and service in the day is superb. The need for armed guards at night speaks volumes of Erie's obviously terrible political leadership.“

“Great experience overall. The atmosphere is lively and perfect for watching games — multiple screens, great energy, and a fun crowd.
The service was outstanding: attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the visit. You can tell the staff knows how to handle busy hours without losing quality.
Food was good, though there’s still a bit of room for improvement compared to the rest of the experience.
Definitely a place I’d come back to, especially for the vibe and service.“

“My husband and I enjoyed our Valentine's dinner one day early at the 814 Chophouse and we were very pleased. We used our Erie Fine Dining card. Our food was delicious including shrimp cocktail, Tuscan bread with wonderfully infused olive oil, Caesar salad with anchovies, and a wonderful Spanish red wine Campo Viejo Tempranillo suggested by our professional and knowledgeable head server who truly has a passion for her craft. My husband had a perfectly prepared steak with a 1/2 bulb of garlic & baked potato and I had their artfully prepared salmon with spinach in a delectably seasoned broth with a little extra drizzle of garlic and lemon flavor. Dessert was dark choc. ice cream for him and peanut butter pie for me with French pressed coffee to complete our truly wonderful evening. We shared our appreciation and compliments with our server and their chef. We are so glad they have retained the "Hunt Room" atmosphere of old - very fine dining in our opinion. AAA+ If they could clone our server and increase their staff it would be perfect. We started out with cocktails at the bar in Bolero's. Would love to hear some Latin guitar music live by Julio Quezada or Mambo in the future or even recorded - to add to a truly enjoyable evening. We got to try a brand new cocktail created by our Chophouse server - an Elderflower Fizz - delicious and topped off with a splash of Spumante. Not an inexpensive evening but worth every penny in our opinion.“

“The night before our recent Vistage meeting in Erie, I had the privilege of dining at the Erie Club, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Tucked away in the intimate wine room in the basement, our dinner felt like a hidden gem—warm, private, and rich with atmosphere. The food was absolutely fantastic, from the perfectly prepared entrees to the attentive service that made the entire evening feel special. It’s the kind of meal and setting that leaves a lasting impression—and I’m already hoping I’m lucky enough to return again soon.

What makes the Erie Club even more remarkable is the history that surrounds you the moment you walk through the doors. Housed in the Charles Manning Reed Mansion, the building dates back to 1846–1849 and originally served as the private home of Charles Manning Reed, a member of one of Erie’s founding families. The Reed lineage traces back to Colonel Seth Reed, one of the city’s earliest settlers. The mansion’s Greek Revival architecture—complete with a grand pedimented portico and Ionic columns—sets the tone for the elegance within.

Over the decades, the structure has evolved to accommodate modern needs while preserving its historical character. Notable additions include expansive bay windows, a recreation hall, and a two-story extension, all seamlessly integrated into the original design. Since 1904, when the Erie Club officially took over the mansion, it has served as a private social institution and a guardian of Erie’s heritage. Its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and its location within the West Sixth Street Historic District only underline its importance to the region.

Whether you’re visiting for business, a social gathering, or just a memorable meal, the Erie Club offers a rare combination of historic charm, culinary excellence, and unmatched ambiance. It’s a place where the past is beautifully preserved—but the experience feels very much alive.“

“Ryan Quinn did tattoos for myself and my daughters of our cats paw print-we had our cat for 14 years and he passed away a week ago, we wanted something meaningful to remember him by and Ryan delivered. Daisy and Andrea also pierced us as well, everyone was awesome! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Went to eat after hours and the cook Lisa still made us delicious food. I felt bad because they where closed, but she accompanied. Thank you Lisa“

“I always seem to have the very best bands in town, very good food and great atmosphere.“

“I thought Uptown Browns was an excellent place to go and have a drink. The bartenders there are excellent and sweethearts I I I had a great girl was serving us and she was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this place to anybody that's cool with a local flavor and down to hang out with just anybody because we all get along better when we all do it together!“

“Good service, great bartenders and the food is delish!!“

“If you want good food, One Way never disappoints! Great, crispy wings (EVERYTIME), Great subs, even the pickles are delicious! Onion rings, antipasto salad, sooo many toppings! Everyone is so quick to post bad reviews that I felt like, a positive one was needed for a change! So thank you to whoever cooks because you guys are consistent and I have not been unhappy this far😋“

“Awesome firehouse themed restaurant (with real firefighters). All staff are excellent, the food is great, the bar is great. If you go on Bingo/game night (Tuesdays I think) you will have a blast. All the patrons there are very friendly and talkative and its a healthy mix of young and older--lots of families. And we always win $$$ every time we go - the kids love this place.“

“This place is a gem! Great food & awesome service. Like Arnold once said "I'll be back!"“

“Yo! Stopped in 10-3-25 had bangin food! Sean you Rock!! And your bartender is amazing!! Thanks for everything!! Much love!“

“BEST FOOD IN THE CITY! Great food, great atmosphere, great prices“

“Wow !! Everything I have ordered has been delivered and amazing !! Highly recommend“

“The pizza, burgers and Greek sauce were fantastic!“

“Rum Runner is located right by Lake Erie, making it a perfect spot to watch the sunset while enjoying your food and drinks.

Everything we tried today was delicious. All the fried seafood was fresh and came with three sauces (my favorite is the cold sweet sauce). The burger was juicy and well-seasoned.
I really love their special cocktails—my go-tos are the Passion Colada and the Rum Runner. Both drinks are refreshing and perfect for summer.

The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Had a great time here and will definitely be back!“

“Fat Willie’s is the kind of place where everybody knows your name… and also your worst decisions.

As a proud regular, I can confirm this establishment has a magical ability to turn a quick stop-in into a full-blown documentary of poor choices and great memories. The drinks are strong, the jokes are stronger, and the odds of running into someone you haven’t seen since high school are approximately 100%.

My buddy being a manager there just means I get heckled the second I walk through the door. No VIP treatment — just VIP roasting. Honestly wouldn’t want it any other way.

What you’ll find:
• Bartenders who pour like they care about your problems
• Regulars who act like unpaid entertainment
• A jukebox that somehow always lands on the perfect throwback

If you’re looking for polished and quiet, this ain’t it. But if you want a bar where the laughs are loud, the stories are questionable, and the vibes are undefeated — Fat Willie’s delivers every time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would absolutely show up “for one” and leave three hours later again.“

“Cali’s has solid food options and one of the only kitchens still open late. Always excited for greens on a menu, great service too. Don’t miss the Thai chili sauce.“

“The outside seating with a view of the lake is awesome. I loved sitting outside while eating. The service was great and fast. The food was great too. I ordered the walleye sandwich, cole slaw, and a baked potato. I usually don’t like cole slaw at restaurants but it was surprisingly good. I liked that the restaurant is kid friendly. They have live ducks out front that you can get your picture in front of. The tiki bar area looks fun too. They had live music.“

“This an awesome place if you’re from out of town on a fishing charter trip or being a tourist. Great bartenders, great service! Jessica, Tara, and Joe are so nice, polite, and wonderful!! Highly recommend Hi and Dri!

Parking: Only had to walk across the street to get to our hotel, but parking lot is big.“

“Service was great! Sebrina was wonderful! Food was excellent!“

“I always have an outstanding experience at this bar. The music was exceptional, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the overall energy was unmatched. A special commendation to the bartenders for their excellent service and to the security team for ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. The level of hospitality here is truly top-tier.“

“We stopped giving peach street a chance. It’s obvious it is not interested in doing better.
THIS place however knocks the ball out of the park. I haven’t actually finished my dinner in ages. It was so good.
Fajitas taco salad with chicken. Very fresh, lots of chicken and a nice balance of veggies.
Even my husband remarked about how good dinner was. Worth the money we spent for dinner, a nice change.“

“We were up from Canada. Looking for a place with live music. Band was excellent! Gypsy Heart was the name. Sounded great. Classic rock! Good atmosphere. As long as ypur okay with smoking inside the bar. Prices were good! Recomend giving it a try!“
