50 Best Bars in Cleveland

“We have an absolutely amazing time every time we eat here! Perfect for a romantic, late night reservation with a group of 6 or less. Kitchen closes at 9 so get your order in- but the waitress told us right away so we didn't miss it! Great recommendations and waitress very knowledgeable about specials and favorites. GLUTEN FREE chicken breading options as well!!!!!! 10/10“

“Terra is the best thing to happen to Terrestrial Brewing Co! Located inside the brewery, Terra brings in a more comfortable and cool atmosphere with a simple menu, good cocktails and great food at a reasonable price. Of course their craft beer is available as well. The Pimento cheese dip is a must try, and the chicken sandwich is done right. Dog friendly patio and also in the brewery side. Check the website to see their daily specials as well!“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

I would only recommend that there were more appetizers. Bread was outstanding as well as the croissants. Vegetarian dishes were very good as well as the Broccoli melt. We were able to find parking on the street.“

“Great food. Friendly staff and inventive drinks. (Hibiscus). They put on fun shows and have theme nights. Sunday brunch. All are welcome here.

They have a unique menu of tasty food, along with a great selection of drinks and cocktails. Their servers are kind, attentive, and very helpful in finding the perfect game for you to play if you're not sure where to start.

“This is our favorite classic local bar and grill in the entire region, the history here is awesome and the ownership/leadership good people.Not only is the food excellent (best wings around but only on Wednesdays).The environment inside will amaze you.A truly “hometown haunt” where you can meet and chat with authentic and honest folks, while having the kids with you as a family weekly event. The craft beer selection is ALWAYS on point and unique.“

“Great selection of craft-brewed beers, meads, sour beers, served by knowledgeable bartenders. Delicious small selection of food in the pop up "shack" in the back...mellow unpretentious atmosphere/large tables/no TVs. If this is your scene, highly recommend!Parking: Free parking at night in the lot at Washington and Lee“

“Went to Brick and Barrel on St. Patty’s day and it looked like a super cozy spot to drink some brews. We got their flight and sampled the different brews. They have a pizza place (different restaurant) next door that offers some delicious Italian pizza as well as other Italian food. They also had some sandwiches for St. Patty’s day! They serve some bar snacks inside and everyone is super warm and welcoming.“

“Sachsenhiem is a staple in the stockyards neighborhood. The food is delicious and high quality“

“Awesome new old corner bar, that recently reopened. Pool table, dance floor, disco ball and cheap drinks, what more do you need? I will be back!!!“

“I moved to a home not too far from this place and have driven by it numerous times. I was always curious and finally on a warm Friday evening I decided to drop in after reading many positive reviews both on Facebook and on Google. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised. The environment is very cozy and inviting. Despite it being a local neighborhood bar it wasn't obnoxiously loud and was actually quite comfortable. The bars owner and namesake, "Michael" came and personally introduced himself to myself and my Mother. I enjoyed a large "Double Decker" hamburger with french fries while my Mom enjoyed a delicious cup of some of the best tasting Brocolli-Cheddar soup I've ever tasted. We also sampled the Loaded Potato Skins as an appetizer and it was quite good. The dining area was very clean and easy to navigate. I'll definitely be returning here again soon.“

“The best fried ice cream I’ve ever eaten by far!!! Love the ambiance… so clean and so chill!!!“

“This spit is a little out of my norm, but overall is fun! The food truck on the patio is awesome. The owner farms his meat and veggies! The service is excellent by the bar staff. The techno DJ is a bit much for me(only 1 if myn2 trips was there a DJ), but otherwise a fun little "dive" bar in Asia Town!“

“Good food, though the specials are pricey. Everything was served hot and nicely prepared. Very crowded, as they try to fit as many tables and customers in the space as they can. Server was attentive and professional. Best to avoid peak hours if you want a less noisy atmosphere, but in total a nice experience.“

“Great atmosphere! Great Food!!“

“General Manager Patrick Pohlman and his staff are awesome! The food is very good and reasonable. Highly Recommend!!!“

“Dante isn’t looking for laughs, it’s looking for gasps!Expect a creative, one-of-a-kind dining experience. Bank features on the interior are tasteful and help build a classy, sophisticated and vibrant atmosphere. Service is prompt and professional.Food is the money maker. Flavor pairings across the menu are magnificent. The crab cake/pork belly appetizer was the big hit across our group. For pasta, I enjoyed the carnaroli risotto, which was a light and fresh take on a traditionally rich dish. The classic bolognese (pictured) was terrific for those eyeing a more traditional dish.“

“What a great place! Love the games! The owner was so welcoming. Great crowd! We can wait to go back!“

“good food and Great Service“

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

“Their website is outdated as they do not serve food anymore. The man behind the bar is super friendly. Chill even, vibing. The overall feel of the place is pretty nice. It is.... rather expensive for their cider though.... It was tasty for sure. It's so expensive though you don't really have much of a choice but to slowly sip it otherwise you'll spend $90 in 10 minutes.I would have loved to stay longer than I did. But 3.5 (they have a half glass size) glasses between 3 people and a mild tip was 40$“

“good food, we need to ask for more water but anyway we was really enjoying everything until we didn’t realise that they are closed an hour ago, a truly NoLa food experience, the recommended entree to try is also fire!! would i recommend you to go here? absolutely yes, no doubt.Dietary restrictions: Non pork“

“Blue Agave Cleveland, an amazing place that you should absolutely try. Great food and the margaritas were terrific. Try street tacos and Mezcal-Rita. Decor looked great and service was amazing. Our server Kristela was amazing, patient and sweet. Thank you blue agave! Definitely a great experience.“

“Hands down my favorite bar in Cleveland! Mike is the best!“

“Fun local place. Friendly people and bar tenders have always been excellent. Message to the owner. You have improved with your stereotyping (type of hat or the way it is worn). Realize that has nothing to do with the character of the person.“

“Great food and service from the Manhattan through the entree. Smoked meats were moist and succulent (“not dry” for those who don’t like the word”moist). A good selection of whiskeys. You will not be disappointed in the food or drinks here.“

“Fantastic local pub! TREMENDOUS food - best Ćevapi this side of Dubrovnik! And the Viking Burger... oh, the Viking Burger. Super friendly crowd, Guardians games on the tube... Skinny's is a can't miss!“

“The most relaxed and friendly place I've visited in years. Consistent with all the things that'll make come back over and over. Never have I ever once been disappointed whenever I've come. Excellent staff, food, and treatment of patrons. I recommend on the highest level.“

“LORENZOOOOO! Very knowledgeable and has a great personality! Also, I love the set up. They did a great job remodeling Daniel's Furniture“

“It was a nice surprise, hidden gem. We were driving by and decided to stop in. It was quiet when we arrived. Service was good and friendly. Then a 1/2 hour later it was packed for karaoke. Which turned out to be very entertaining. The crowd was friendly and fun. Looking forward to going back.“
