I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard this was "Nightmare before Christmas" themed. I had never…read morebeen to this bar but it's definitely my vibe. I love the darker lighting, brick and wood accents. The huge jack was a nice touch. To be honest, drinks were a tad steep compared to their sister location next door but it's obvi targeted for a certain kind of crowd. No one at the bar was ordering off the holiday menu and I wonder if pricing was a factor but not sure. Bartenders were very friendly and the ambiance was dark and quiet. I'll have to come back again to give it a chance but I would've loved more decor targeted at the movie.

Canopy Rooftop Bar + Events is a new, vibrant hidden rooftop. You can find it at the Market Garden…read moreBrewery. Think of it as an urban tropical escape in Ohio City. The views are immaculate - the Westside Market and W 25th. The rooftop has a bar area, tables, and benches. There are various tropical vibes - aquamarine hues, white vacay looking furniture, tropical plants, and gorgeous blue canopy/overhang. The decor has gorgeous juxtaposition with brick walls of the building. It's just gorgeous. You have to visit and take a million pictures. I felt like I was on the mini vacation. While this destination is on the rooftop, it also offers considerable amount of privacy. For instance, while walking up to the building, I wasn't able to see or hear the event I was attending. It's a big plus to have this privacy yet view the surrounding landmarks. As far as getting up there, find the door directly across from the entrance. Go up a few flights of stairs and arrive at the Canopy. The rooftop bar and event venue is only available for private events. I visited this location for a yoga class with Bottoms Up Yoga & Brew. There will be another class here in July (find it on Eventbrite). I really enjoyed the yoga class here. It accommodated our small group very well and we went for brews downstairs to the Market Garden Brewery right after. All of us were very impressed with this rooftop. I hope to be back soon for more events! Check out their contact info on the Market Garden Brewery website!

Erin was our server and she was amazing, from beginning to end! We would come back just for her, but I know she works limited hours because she's busy being an epic artist! She let my dad tell her dad jokes and when he wanted to meet Leo (because he looks like Fish from Shoresy and my mom thought he was hot) they obliged which was truly going above and beyond (even if it made me and my sister a little awkward). The boudin balls were great! Very similar to New Orlean's verisons so that was great! We also tried the hot rocks which were also great! Our table tried both gumbos, the jambalaya and the crab cakes. All of which were delicious and the closest you'll find to NOLA style around here! For dessert my mom scored the last creme brulee which made her day and the rest of us had beignets. Their beignets are definitely not Cafe Beignet or Loretta's level, but they are still absolutely delicious as their own dessert, like a mix between a funnel cake and a beignet! Drinks were also amazing! It's one of like 3 places you can get a Pimms cup in Cleveland! They had a lot of other cool options and Sunday looks like it's usually an all day happy hour so we have to go back! And finally, I just have to note how beautiful the place is. Decor everywhere you look, my little sister couldn't stop taking pictures! It was such a lovely experience! I can't say enough great things!

The decor looks like a New Orleans restaurant and there is even a second level for seating. The food is delicious. They have great Happy Hour Specials with portions and prices small enough to sample food items. They also have a pick 3 on the menu that lets you pick different menu items. Our favorites are of course the Chicken Gumbo and Jambalaya but tried to duck wings that were crispy and perfectly cooked. We also tried to fried okra that was awesome. The craft beer and cocktail menu is extensive and we upgraded to the large hurricane, which was fruity and refreshing. Service was Excellent. Highly recommend!

They were on the sweeter side but YUMMY! Of course we had to try the tendies and snack wraps. Both very good! The snack wraps are big so definitely shareable. Tendies are also big! I also love that the tendies come with sides and sauce! The pink ranch was good. Buffalo sauce tasted identical to Frank's Red Hot. I was not a fan of the coleslaw, I think it is the type of mayo they used that caused a strange taste, but probably just a preference issue! Service was on point and attentive. Yelp did NOT eat first because we were all hungry so I missed out on pics BUT will be back for a fun night out and snackies here! I especially want to come back to explore all of the levels and decor! Follow my Instagram for more foodie adventures! @dietz.eatz

CLE's best kept secret!…read more A few of my friends raved about Smoke & Mirrors, so I finally checked it out. I stopped in during Stargazers Ball hosted by YoreCraeft Productions. It was a fun cosmic costume party at Smoke & Mirrors. Smoke & Mirrors delivers on their promise, there are mirror accents and intermittent smoke. They also have a lot of silver accents that have a cool juxtaposition with the cave look. You can find this nightclub underground at Clandestina on West 25th. Enter the club by going through mezcalería (Clandestina) and going downstairs. The club calls themselves "subterranean catacomb club." I'd describe it as a nightclub giving off speakeasy vibes with some exposed brick, cave vibes, and sultry red illumination. It's a very mysterious dungeon looking club. It's raw and unusual for the local nightclub scene in the very best of ways. The coolest space in this club is the once upon a time coal room that serves as a little private nook to sip your cocktails. The rest of the club has one dance floor, some comfy seats against the wall, and a small bar. It's very intimate. The club is mostly known for its EDM DJs. Don't expect big names but expect good music. You can find their lineup on their IG @smokeandmirrorscle. They're open on Thursdays for karaoke, and Saturdays for DJ and dancing. The party that I attended had a lot of dancing and good vibes. The club seems to have a cover charge, but the amount is not shared on their socials. The menu consists of cocktails, craft beer, and wine, which is a generous selection for a night club. There were some themed cocktails during my visit ranging from $8-$14. I certainly plan to stop by during a regular weekend night to check out the full experience and DJ's. You should too. If you drop in, stop Clandestina bathroom for a selfie with flattering light. Can't wait for my next visit!

WOW, what a fun place…read more Location and Parking is terrible, and there was a person outside asking for whatever you have to give. But once you're past that, this place is a must visit. Something very different from what we normally go to or go for. The tiki vibe is very well done and the drinks are equally thought out as well. Once you arrive, there's reserve seating but otherwise everything else is on your own. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are very tasty and entertaining. I already have plans for when friends/family visit from out of town and take them here. Such a fun and unique place! Go!
