“Cloak and Dagger is an excellent cocktail bar offering a unique selection of drinks. I sampled 'Death by The King' and 'Her Highness', finding both to be quite potent and challenging to drink. 'Death by The King' particularly stood out, growing on me with each sip. The bar boasts a pleasant atmosphere and a convenient location. I would definitely recommend visiting. As of March 2024, each cocktail was 15 USD.“

“We heard the drinks are amazing, but we ordered wine - it was good. We were celebrating a birthday and ended up seated by the kitchen - didn’t feel very special. We enjoyed the food - cauliflower appetizer - very indulgent! We also enjoyed the mussels, a shawarma wrap and a salad. Everything was good. The decor was fun and the vibe lively. I had a really hard time hearing during dinner - though the back room wasn’t full it was very loud. We didn’t linger….Vegetarian options: Salads, ravioli and a veggie burger were in the menu“

Taps & Tails Cocktail Bar •

“My pup is a rescue. She was mistreated by her previous "humans" and, consequently, had some significant trust issues. The Taps and Tails staff is wholly focused on the pups comfort and their safety, and that helped my pup learn that not all humans are bad. She gained confidence (and some sass) and is truly a much more well adjusted dog thanks to the environment T&T fosters.“

The Hangar Cocktail Bar • $

“I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. My partner and I stumbled upon this bar spontaneously while exploring Ohio City one spring day, and we have been captivated ever since. The concept of the bar is innovative, and their menu is consistently outstanding, featuring seasonal changes and custom cocktail recipes crafted by their own staff – a truly remarkable feature!! Additionally, the bar proudly showcases local Ohio brand liquors, beers, and IPAs, adding a distinctive touch to their offerings. The staff members are truly exceptional, embodying a delightful combination of professionalism and warmth. I must extend a special acknowledgment to Ethan, Noah, and, of course, the owner, Sam, who have made us feel like part of their extended family. With its inviting atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and friendly staff, this establishment exceeds expectations on every front. What more could one ask for?!“

“It was a brisk evening in the city, and we were desperate to warm our souls. A few hours to spare before our concert, this was the nourishment we longed for. The music thumped and sparkled, while the room felt warm like home. Simple is king! Small food and drink menu with no complaints. I weap for the missing star: In these lean times, it would be tough to frequent.“

“What a location!! Right on the water, we were sat in the enclosed patio area and got to watch the seagulls feast with us.We started with the beer and shot and I had a sweater weather, I had them change out the vodka for tequila. It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value. I’m gonna pregame here for sure! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!Vegetarian options: Many options were on the menu for brunch at least.Parking: More parking than usual for an establishment in the Flats“

OH Yeah

“We hosted a Young Professional networking event here, which was new for me because typically I only find myself arriving late on a weekend. I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!“

They had a chef's tasting menu for $100 and a Valentine's day menu for $150, which in retrospect we should've done because we ended up paying $170 for 4 sushi rolls, 2 appetizers and a few (5) cocktails.The sushi and appetizers were good, comparable with other sushi places.The old fashioned drink was really good ?We stayed at the sushi bar, and enjoyed watching Chef Lee and the others craft the sushi in front of us.Parking: If you park at the valet, the E 4th valet, which is $40, once you validate the parking ticket at the restaurant, they give you back $30 and you end up paying $10“
