Solid spot, we actually popped in twice while in town. Once on Saturday night and it was…read moresurprisingly not super busy. Pry because the pop a shot was out of order which was a bit disappointing but the bartender was friendly and drink was made well. We also came in on Sunday before a Browns game. Was really busy service was okay, standing room only we were able to get to a ledge by a wall to get our bucket set down. Good vibes but there were multiple kids in there so kinda odd but didn't hate it they weren't being disruptive just funny seeing kids in a bar. Anyways check em out.

Wow. When they say this is the best dive bar in Cleveland, they aren't lying!…read more My wife and I were 0.3 miles away and walked here. We arrived around 8:00 PM on a Saturday and there was a small crowd. We were able to get a seat at the bar.Waitstaff was amazing. I had a few Miller High Life drafts ($3.00) and she had a Labatt Blue Light Draft ($4.00). Bartenders were extremely attentive. This is an epic bar. I'd return in a second. It was easy getting an Uber/Lyft. If you want a dive, you definitely want to stop here. This is a 5 star visit based on service and price point.

The oldest bar in Cleveland. If only these walls could talk...and if you drink enough, maybe they…read morewill. The place shows its age in all the right ways, with an eclectic collection of signs, memorabilia, and general hodgepodge that gives it loads of character. The bartender wasn't quite as old as the bar, but he was definitely seasoned. This is a beer-in-a-plastic-cup kind of place. If you're ordering a mixed drink, stick to liquor and maybe one mixer. Don't get crazy and start asking for some elevated cocktail creation. Mind your P's and Q's, soak in the history, and enjoy a beverage or seven. Places like this aren't polished or trendy.....they're authentic, and that's exactly the charm.

Yelp Review #650…read more Ive been to Cleveland a bunch of times however this weekend was my first visit to the Clevelander. My wife and I were attending a Sunday afternoon Cleveland Cavs game and stopped here for a quick pint before the game. We arrived shortly after opening and were able to get a seat at the bar. Bartender quickly greeted us and was friendly. They have a fair amount of draft options. I had the Great Lakes Midwest IPA, and my wife had a Great Lakes Conway Irish Red. Bar got fairly busy before we left. A woman next to us ordered a burger which looked fantastic (no frozen premade patty), so I might have to get food during my next visit. This is a great pregame spot before a Cavs or Guardians game, or even if you are in the general vicinity.

As a downtown resident, I usually order through Toast and walk over to pick up my food, but since…read moreit was Game 2, I decided to watch the game while eating at the bar. I arrived a few minutes before halftime and sat at the bar. It wasn't busy, maybe six people total. I initially sat near the end by a column and figured the bartender might not notice me right away, but as a former bartender myself, I assumed he'd eventually make his way around the bar to check on guests. That never happened. After a couple of people left, I moved closer to the front of the bar near the entrance. A few more minutes passed before the bartender finally approached me. I had already grabbed my own menu from behind the bar area by that point. When I ordered, he asked if the food was "to go," which honestly made me feel like my sitting there during the game was more of an inconvenience than business. I ordered food and a drink. By the time my food came out, my drink was already about three-quarters gone, which would have been the perfect opportunity to check back in or offer another round. The food runner brought out my meal, but the bartender never checked on me once. I would have gladly ordered additional drinks, but I was never asked. Basic hospitality and bar service 101: check on your guests and keep the interaction going. I ate my food without so much as another drink to help wash it down. I closed out and left; there wasn't even a "thanks for coming in" or "have a good night." I ended up going elsewhere afterward to watch the 4th quarter, having a few more drinks, and receiving significantly better service. As someone who used to bartend, this experience was frustrating because good bar service is not complicated. A bartender who stays engaged with guests will naturally sell more drinks, create a better atmosphere, and earn better tips. I still tipped 17% because I don't stiff people, but that below my usual 25%+. That level of service didn't even deserve what I left.
