From my memory, the inside has had a nice makeover. Still needs some updates and maybe clean out the clutter in the party section, however, nice big rooms with multiple pool tables. Wasn't the busiest that night but the bartenders were still very engaging and quick to mask for our orders. The party had some platters so all I tasted was the chicken tenders and the pretzel bites. Both were fantastic. Tons of dipping sauces. The menu looked small but from what I saw and had the food was solid. The band that night was a great country band. Prices were on par for normal and they offered numerous drink specials. The outdoor patio is as huge as it was before. The drink choices maybe could of been a little better and had a menu to look after but all in all not bad. Overall 7.6 out of 10

We went on an admittedly sort of crowded weekend night, but food did take longer than you'd usually…read moreexpect to get out When it did, it was pretty good but not mind blowing. The atmosphere was also very, very loud and "bar like". Which is obviously very good for some people, but for me it wasn't great having people we didn't know coming up and striking up conversations while we were waiting at a table for food. Again, not a total negative but just not what I'm looking for from a dining experience. Will probably give them another shot at some point on a week night, because the food was pretty good.

Can't imagine full! Needs a fabric wall or something for sound. Couldn't hear the music that was on. Would try again but maybe use outdoor seating when warmer.

The loaded nacho's are good. They have some spice with the cheese and jalapeños. But you get a decent portion for $5.75. Tacos were good. They are a flour tortilla that's is fried for hard taco. They also have $1 dogs during Gaurdians games. The basic beers on tap like bud light. Basic bar with basic liqueurs. I'd try something else next time. The guy who was serving us was nice. He had all the tables so he was running around. When the Gaurds game started the place filled up. It was also trivia night. We played 1 round and won. It was fun. Bottom line is a typical bar menu. Burgers, wraps, wings and every day is a special. They have basic bar drinks nothing fancy. Bunch of TV to watch the games. Seems like an OK Dads bar. Seems like a normal regular crowd that always goes.

(Last visited September 20, 2023.) Hanging out in Cleveland, OH on business and it's…read more#WingWednesday! So I did some searching on Yelp to see who's got the best in the area! A place called Characters Bar & Grill kept coming up. So here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is like... at the EDGE of Cleveland's city limits. Lol. Brookpark Road or something. Once I pulled up it just felt like a nice, neighborhood spot! It does have a private parking lot, big outdoor section (where we sat) and plenty of space on the inside. It's a traditional setup. TVs everywhere, random swag and decor all throughout, plenty of high-top tables for seating and a big bar rail. The energy was lively and the music was so random. Lol. If you've been, you know what I mean. Service: I can't remember the name of who took care of us, but she was funny, sweet and just made sure we had everything that we needed. Food: While here I was able to try a few wings, so let's begin. First up were the Mike's Sweet Island Heat. For the record, if you order 10 wings, you can split them into 2-5s for an extra $1.00 if you want separate flavors. Also, on the menu there are 3 "types" of sauces that they offer. The first kind are Buffalo based sauces, the 2nd are barbecue based sauces and the last is "other". Lol. Anyway, these looked amazing, were super saucy and were a decent, seemingly normal size. I got lots of good fruity notes and aromatics as I put the wing to my nose. After tasting the flavors carried through with a bold, fruity, rich flavor. There was good spice and it felt like a chipotle based spice. It was a unique flavor for sure that I hadn't tasted before. Next up was Lenny's Honey Sriracha Teriyaki which is a mouthful of a name, but the flavors showed up! It was a good teriyaki base with citrusy lemon flavors that actually made my lips pucker just a bit. These weren't spicy at all, but it was missing something, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Next up was Chipotle which I was lead to believe would be the hottest sauce on the menu based on it's placement on the menu, but I was wrong. This one did have some GOOD heat to it. The ingredients were balanced very well that created very bold, rich, hearty, chipotle flavors. I really liked this one. Next up were the Mild Buffalo. These were super saucy, juicy and had a very straightforward traditional Buffalo flavor that had some excellent flavor. The bleu cheese to go with these was a creamy, mild sauce that would cool your mouth down if you can't handle the spice. Next up was the XXX Buffalo which is actually the hottest sauce on the menu. The sauce was a bit watery which is a dead giveaway that it wouldn't be as spicy as it claims to be. It was still delicious, but the spice took a while to kick in, but it's nothing to write home about. It was like a kicked up Buffalo. Value: It's a sports bar, so the food won't be terrible expensive. I was there on Wednesday and wings were $1.00 each. Not bad at all considering how expensive I've see some. They even had $5.00 steaks this night, but I can only imagine them being a Salisbury steak or something. Lol. In conclusion, I had a blast here. The food was great, the people are awesome, I felt welcomed and it just felt like a good place to hang out! I look forward to returning and trying some more flavors!

It was a tasty time at Pearl Road Tavern!

The empanadas were generously stuffed with seasoned beef, cheese, jalapeños, and onions, making every bite flavorful and satisfying. The real star of the evening was the Mexican Pizza. Built on two crispy tostadas layered with savory refried beans, seasoned beef, fresh vegetables, melted cheese, and topped with sour cream, it was absolutely outstanding. To top it all off, many of their favorite cervezas were on special, but we opted for the margaritas, which paired perfectly with the meal. Great food, generous portions, wonderful service and a fun atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Pearl Road Tavern and will be back again!
