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.

Off the top maybe 5-6 tables and a bar that holds 10-12 people if I was guessing. Multiple TVs playing all sports. Keno, Jukebox also available. Nice neighborhood bar. Staff were very friendly even though they were busy. As for the food, I ordered mozzarella sticks, a hot Italian sub with tater tots. The cheese sticks were bad. Tiny, lukewarm and not much flavoring. Marinara dipping sauce was bland as well. Now for the sub. Unreal Italian Sub. The tots were crispy and salted. The sub was AMAZING... repeat AMAZING. Served with Italian dressing, on a toasted roll. Banana peppers, onion, tomato, with multiple meats and cheeses. Definitely a bar favorite as I saw many people eating the same dish. It's worth a visit or a try if you're in the area. The big positive of this place was the prices. $2.50 a beer and $10 for that sub. My tab was low so that's always a good thing. I would go back to this place however it might be tough sometimes if the bar gets pizza. In the plaza it sits next to a pizza place that I was told you can order the pizza from the bar and they have a window to slide the food through. I didn't try the pizza so I won't review that place. Overall, a 7.1 out of 10 with everything included.

BEST DIVE EVER…read more excellent fresh food here, everything I've had is fantastic. This is the Cleveland state college bar but really I've basically seen the working man lunch crowd. It's great. Today I had wings. Prior the chicken salad sandwich, the little Becky burger the big Becky burger I've had the tacos. I had a salad with the chicken salad on it. Everything is so fresh. They have a kitchen that is proud of their work. It's a big place with a storied history, back in the 80s this was the old exedra bar you can look it up. There is a reason that dance floor and the bar is shaped the way it is it's hilarious. I looked it up because I thought this was an old concert club and the bartender told me oh you looked it up and we were dying laughing. They have a free parking lot. It really helps a lot to drive business five stars for dive bars. This place is awesome.

I went here for a birthday karaoke party with coworkers and we had a blast! It was packed but the wait was never too long to sing or get a drink. They have some of my favorite local craft beers which I appreciated. They also have a little food menu. They have "Mexican" food. I had a quesadilla for $8- great price and it was delicious. I was surprised to see they had some vegan friendly options too! If you're looking for a fun night swing by Corky's - it won't disappoint!

The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.

It was a rainy evening when we arrived and they were closing in a couple hours. This place is…read moredefinitely a bar- but children are allowed, but it has bar atmosphere -being dark and loud. A waitress came to take her order, but she was not very friendly and then it took forever to get our food. We only got two entrées to share between the three of us because we wanted to try to see what the fuss was about at this place. What we ate was decent, but honestly nothing that stuck with us enough to say- COME HERE! We definitely didn't understand all the good reviews when our food finally came out. They didn't even come out together and our second plate was wrong when it finally arrived so it had to get redone. So the service really got to us especially since there were only 2 other tables being waited on and a couple stragglers sitting at the bar. Parking is street parking in a neighborhood! So it can be hard during the day but we lucked out that evening.
