38 Best Pubs near Independence

“Loved the vibes here! Very warm and welcoming, with great service and delicious food. I really appreciated the wide variety of menu options, in addition to the free popcorn. Prices were also really reasonable, especially for the portions. Can't wait to come back!Parking: Large free lot available, but be careful not to park in the next door hotel lot. Somewhat difficult only because the place is so popular that the lot was full.“

“I never realized how awesome this place was until air stopped in and gave it another try. The new owner is awesome! She works her a$$ off to make sure everyone is taken care of! The food is really good, drinks are cold and quick, and the atmosphere is electric. I will definitely be making this place a more frequent stop. It's definitely worth the detour!!“

“An amazing Brewery with an Awesome Staff. A unique and special place in every way. If you enjoy craft beer, are a home brewer, or appreciate Cleveland History (or all of the above), this place is a Must See. Absolutely one of the coolest places in Cleveland Hands-down.“

“Everything is great but sucked that I had to go back inside after leaving from picking up a take out order because they forgot sour cream. The lady said the quesadilla doesn’t come with it but I said it was on the menu. She went back and got a little blob of it but literally held it from me saying “I’m going to have to confirm that the menu says that or else I’m going to have to charge you.” Like cool story I guess I look like a liar. After they pulled the menu on their phones and said “I guess it does say that on the menu” I got my little blob. Y’all would have charged for this?“

“We were walking down W 25th and saw Old Angle Tavern from the windows facing the street. It looked like a relaxed place that had some people in it, but wasn't overlying crowded so we strolled in. I'm glad we did!We sat at the bar and were greeted by a friendly bartender. After some light conversation, we ordered some food. I got some wings that really hit the spot! They have a great Buffalo sauce that's flavorful and spicy. And they're ranch dipping sauce is clearly made in house...I've never had ranch that was that buttery and tasty! My dining companion enjoyed his salad and soup as well. Great atmosphere and music too! I'll be back!“

“I love coming here for brunch! They have an amazing food selection and i'm always torn what to get. Their biscuits & gravy are amazing! The vibe of this place is very chill. The service is always great. Highly suggest you stop in here for brunch if you haven't already!“

“Place was packed. Parking awful. Being handicapped I had to walk way too far to enter. Very loud and noisy. Had a big group and had to shout to one another. My BLT was tasty. Service slow but the waitress was running around like crazy. Definitely needed more help. Have been here before and was much better the other times. Won't be bringing our group back here.“

“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.“

“Great dive bar feel. Cozy, dim, comfy. Went after a Charge Bball game, had a couple of mixed drinks, a pizza, and their Cajun chips. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Played darts and pinball....bartender was very friendly. Great experience all around and affordable....we'll be back.“

“This is my favorite bar in the area. In my experience the pizza, burgers, and wings are always great, what else do you need when it comes to bar food? Service has always been great as well. Always recommend place to anyone who frequents the area.“

“We’ve been here several times, hidden little gem. Food is outstanding but tonight you outdid yourselves. We’ve been to several Clam Bakes but this one is hands down my new favorite!!! The BEST clam chowder I’ve ever tasted. We’ll be back next year and many times in between. Thank you!!“

“Randomly went here after a visit to the aquarium. There was a wedding reception in the bar area. It was hard to tell if we were allowed to be there or not. They had a small area blocked off for regular customers, however, it seemed like the employees were stretched pretty thin. That being said, the food was so good! Decent choice of beers on tap, great wings, even my son’s tenders and fries were fantastic. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

They dont try to rip u off an ober charge u.Price are right.And the food is super great.I will be back an let other people know about the rudtic pub.“

“In the labyrinthine heart of Cleveland lies Judd's City Tavern, a sanctuary where surreal meets the sublime. The bar staff possess a warmth that defies the ordinary, weaving a tale of hospitality that lingers in the soul. Amidst this enigmatic ambiance, the melodies spun by DJs on Wednesday and Friday nights cast an ethereal spell, guiding patrons through a mesmerizing journey. Each note, each smile, becomes a page in a narrative of camaraderie and delight. Judd's City Tavern transcends the realms of reality, offering an experience reminiscent of my own surreal narratives, where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary. An escapade here is a sojourn into the surreal, leaving visitors, forever changed and enchanted.“

“I discovered Rudy's Pub to be a charming establishment with its own unique character, and I can't wait to visit again. The food my son and I ordered was excellent, and the service was top-notch. I especially enjoyed the karaoke session , who made me feel right at home. If you're seeking a night out filled with fun and surrounded by good-hearted people, Rudy's Pub is the place to be! I'll definitely be returning.“

“This has been a Tremont staple for a long time. Overall good vibe although it can get crowded (as expected) on the weekends. Staff is funny and provide good service. A nice patio in the back. Drink prices are standard and they have a good selection overall.“

“Drove up from Port Clinton, Ohio to see Ethan Timm play. Great experience as soon as we opened the door! Our waiter was impeccable! Knowledgeable, prompt, kind, courteous, & friendly. Building has lots of unique character! Bartender made everyone in the room feel at home! Worth the drive!!!!“

“Everyone here is so cool. Whenever I don't feel like going to funhouse (because we've been there a million times that month) and want another laid-back bar, Social Room is the go-to. The bartender knows my drink whenever I come in and she's so sweet and bubbly! The wait time is nonexistent, the patio is real cute, and there are a billion restaurants over here if you want food before or after drinks. Plenty of parking too, very stressfree experience overall.“

“Pizza was good, mac bites are an avoid. Good atmosphere. I found this place at lunch and the server showed good interest in everyone in the establishment. It did get busy and she was all alone but she handled it all. Lots of locals stopped in for a mid day bite and drink.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Couldn’t recommend Christian and his team enough if you’re looking to host an event. We had a great experience hosting our Rehearsal Dinner the night before our wedding at The Arcade! Great communication, great people, great food and of course, good beer“

“Courteous staff, good food, perfect location. One can view the lake from here. I had the apple and cranberry salad, fish and chips and the bread pudding. Everything delicious! Loved it. Will definitely come back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan“

“Really really solid pizza! They seemed a bit all over the place today but they were still really kind though! I'm definitely coming back for pizza time and time again. I'd also add that while I didn't get what I ordered the first time, the owner paid for it herself and owned up to mistake. Really solid people here.Parking: Good amount of parking. Nothing crazy but just glad to see they have it especially considering their location.“

“Great place for drinks, dinner and trivia! Had the chicken paprikash, polski nokaut, fish bites, buffalo cauliflower and grilled Caesar salad- all was amazing! Helpful, nice server with great recommendations. Excited to come here in the summer to check out the patio.“

“Service was great. Had an issue with a very drunk guy following me around and there was a thin blonde bartender that was attentive and picked up on it immediately which i appreciated as a woman! Made me feel safe which I dont think happens in bars much anymore.“

“It’s a cozy sports bar in a lively area of town. The food is great, and at a decent price. Th staff are pleasant and inviting, plus you’ll often find the owner himself working alongside the staff. It may not be the flashiest, but I can’t think of many places as welcoming as this!“

“Rob is a "Rockstar" they didn't have wait service when we visited Saturday afternoon. Got our meals and the food is friggin' fantastic!!! They got slammed with patrons after we got served. And Rob made sure everyone was served and made to feel welcome.“

“We stopped in late on a Sunday night for a quick bite with our daughter because it was the only place near our hotel that was open. The staff were so nice, especially Anastasia and Rick, who gladly treated our daughter to two bowls of different flavors of ice cream! It meant a lot to us to have a happy kid as we’re on a cross-country drive to British Columbia! Hope to be back the next time we’re in town. Thanks so much! -Erin, Chris, and Rosie“

“I want to personally thank Danielle for working through a concern I had after coming in late night. I expressed how I was feeling and my concern was met with genuine humanity and professionalism. Drink was amazing too. I liked the look of the place as well!“

“In the dimly lit heart of Cleveland Heights, there exists a sanctuary for the night's most zealous seekers, The Tavern Company. This isn't your garden-variety watering hole; it's a haven where the spirits flow as freely as the conversations, and the air vibrates with the potential for madness. Tuesday nights transform this joint into a coliseum of intellect, where trivia becomes the gladiatorial sport of choice. Teams huddle, whispering strategies over pints, their eyes alight with competitive fire. Here, amidst the clink of glasses and the triumphant shouts of victors, lies the essence of what it means to truly engage with the pulse of the city. The Tavern Company doesn't just serve drinks; it brews a potent mixture of camaraderie, challenge, and sheer, unadulterated joy.“

“WINGS ARE GREAT. Fish fry is good. That said, normally I would not spend my time reviewing “just another Parma sports bar”, but I have to give credit to some of the best bar tenders I’ve ever witnessed. Last visit, the 2 bar tenders handled a massive crowd better than a 10 person staff at smaller joints. Employees like this are impossible to find now-a-days, so I salute you for your talent and great personality! Nice dart board area. No patio. Come as you are, and have some fun!“

“My wife left me for another man, even though the bartender reminded me of Pedro, the “other man” yet I felt comforted by his service. He made me feel great about my loneliness. Food filled the void, drinks quieted the loud thoughts. Love that they have touch tunes!“

“The Irish Burger is the best burger I have had in Cleveland. The coleslaw is perfect with this burger. The Steak Burger is also very delicious. The "fries" are soggy potato circles that were only ok.I went on a Sunday evening and the place was very packed. Personally, I would not return at that hour. The staff did their best but we faced long wait times, lots of noise, and people (and staff) bumping into us (and not saying excuse me!). Understandable given the number of people but not the best environment. I recognize some people like this bustling environment.Will absolutely return (on a weekday) for that delicious burger. the decor is beautiful.“

“In Peninsula for the Ramp Up Festival with friends. Decided to stop here for lunch. They have a good selection of craft beers. I ordered a mushroon bacon burger with onion rings. Burger tasted good but was a bit dry. Ordered medium and got well done so it was not juicy how I like them. Onion rings were crispy and good. They had a special ramp flavored IPA on tap, a very unusual beer with a garlicky finish. Our server was excellent today. Patio seating was nice on a sunny day.“

“We were there on a Friday night. The staff was friendly. The portions are large, the prices are lower and the quality was great. We especially liked the crispy onion rings and pizzas. Honorable mention for chicken nachos and anti pasta salad. When asked, they switched TV to the Guardians game.Parking: Park in the lot on the North side, across the street.“

“Cute little bar/restaurant in Peninsula with cozy outdoor seating. Food was good. Drinks were good and prices on both were very reasonable. We had a wonderful server and were surprised how quickly our food arrived. We will definitely go back again.“
