    This is supposedly Cleveland's oldest bar, and I can believe it. It's dark, quiet, and tons of random paraphernalia on the walls. Stopped in here for the first time yesterday and there were maybe 5 people in the whole place, so service was prompt. Grabbed a can of Bell's Two Hearted IPA and watched the remainder of the baseball game. The bartender was super nice, even though she was dealing with a hangover . Definitely a dive bar, which is right up my alley. I'll let the photos I post do the rest of the talking

    Andy the Bartender on Saturday night is outstanding! They also have the old school POW arcade game.

    One of the best bars Cleveland has to offer. Local and friendly. A great place to get away from it all.

    Cute little American Pub and grill. They food was good and the service was friendly. The prices won't empty your wallet either!

    The nautical decor is a hoot, you're located in the Flats, and there are no issues getting parking.

    We discovered The Rowley Inn while touring the A Christmas Story House right across the street. We…read morewere told that many of the cast members ate here while filming the movie, which made us even more excited to give it a try. After looking over the menu, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of both vegan and non-vegan options available. In fact, if you ask, they have a separate vegan menu with tons of choices, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something appealing. The atmosphere has that classic small-town neighborhood bar feel--casual, comfortable, and full of local charm. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick, which made the experience even better. We ordered the vegan pierogi dinner and the meatloaf dinner. The vegan cheese in the pierogies wasn't our favorite, but the dish was still very flavorful and enjoyable overall. The meatloaf dinner was a generous portion and absolutely excellent--comfort food done right. Between the welcoming atmosphere, diverse menu, and great service, The Rowley Inn was a delightful find. Whether you're visiting the Christmas Story House or just looking for a great local spot, it's definitely worth a stop. We'd happily visit again!

    Across the street from the A Christmas Story House is the Rowley Inn. One thing we just had to…read moreexperience was great Polish food during our trip, so our friends chose this for us. They have a large menu of various pierogies and kielbasas, as well as traditional pub fare. They also have a great beer menu of the core basics and well as Cleveland/Ohio craft selections. The actual place feels like your inside an old house, with low ceilings and dim lighting. Our server was efficient and welcoming. They have a great bar area right inside the door too, and lean into their location with their own major award right inside. I ordered one of the veggie leaning pierogie dishes and loved how it was served with onions and sour cream. It was a delicious dish, which was much needed on an empty stomach. Prices are great.

    I wish you could give half stars as this is not quite a 4 but better then 3. Nice little…read moreestablishment in a small plaza. Nice crowd for a small bar. 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.

But always check out the specials for homemade soups and more. Today I had the special: breaded pork chop with home fries and mixed veggies which was great at 15$. Cozy place. Great juke box. Check the joint out.
