11 Best Dive Bars in Cleveland

“Went to Midnight 20th anniversary and got my face torn off. Venua was cool bands were great! Loud clear and a great mosh pit!! Staff was courteous and cool, people take drinks outside and they have to yell at you for that we all know that, Overall!! 100% Place to go see a show in a middle sized venue.“

“Best bar in the city while sitting at the bar!“

“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.“

“What a lovely little spot! I'm all about a good dive bar and we found the best one in Cleveland! Sherry & Simone were so welcoming, it felt like home. A pool table & curated jukebox were great additions and although we didn't eat (Sloppy Joes $4), I'm sure they were delicious. Inexpensive, charming & the visit left me with a huge smile on my face, knowing this was one of those special places.Can't say enough good things, just an all around great time. This place is a real as it gets. If you are in Cleveland, pay them a visit, tell em Patti from Philly sent you. ??“

“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.“

“Excellent people. Cheers vibe bar. Everyone is so friendly and bartenders and owners are great people.“

“Great bartenders!!! Great times!“

“Are you on the way to the airport and want to take the edge off? Stop here before you blow $100 at Sammy's airport bar! Keep that money for your vacation! Nice little out of the way dive bar with friendly locals. It is dog friendly! Just as long as your dog ain't angry!“

“They have different food specials during the week...I do recommend going on Mondays for the burger special. The karaoke there is just fantastic...that's on Wednesdays, and I'm there quite often. First Friday of the month is Vinyl Night in the back room, and I try to make it there to DJ with the Northeast Ohio Vinyl Club. Just stop in if you're in the area...I'm sure you'll like it!“
