I came here for the vegan pierogi btw and had no idea that it was in a very queer area with queer…read morevibes which was such a nice surprise! I would also like to say that I am very impressed by how vegan forward Cleveland is. Idk why I wasn't expecting it. I doni't even feel like I experience this shit in NY but maybe I am not going to the right places. Anyways, we sat at the bar and went to work ordering our beverages. It was early enough that I could benefit from more caffeine so I was pleased to see a coffee-esque cocktail with vodka. GF ordered the sangria. I embarrassed myself a lil by assuming the three pierogi could be mix and match which they cannot. We wanted the classic potato and cheese but also wanted to try one of the vegan ones so went with the sweet potato and black bean. I was further thrown for a loop when I was asked what sauces I want. Oh my god there are sauces to choose from?!? Did I even read the menu? The bartender threw out some options I couldn't argue with: sriracha something creamy maybe sour cream or mayo? and French onion which was intriguing. Both were SO good. The pierogi were also spectacular. They were HUGE and the filling was to die. Diamond in the rough.

What a cool experience! We came here to see Stanley Davis perform with the Dave Banks Big Band, and…read moreit was such a pleasure. This venue donates proceeds from the bar to The Music Settlement, which has a music school for children, as well as music therapy. What an awesome cause, and a great intimate space to see a show. There are maybe about 15 tables that seat 4 in front of the venue, and you can also sit at a bar that lines the back of the room. Right now they are looking for a new kitchen vendor, so it's drinks only and no food. We had a great time, and would definitely recommend this venue.

What a diamond in the rough…read more Unassuming on the outside and the inside. Tons of beers. Service is very good. The real reason for the excitement is bc this place has a crazy DIY, mix and match, build your own dog and tot/fries menu. We had basically just come from another restaurant (I say basically to soften the blow but we did, in fact, leave a restaurant before embarking on the walk to come to this place. If we weren't kinda full from that, we could have provided a more legitimate showing. GF was grossed out by the thought of other food but I was not going to succumb to the satiety Gods. I perused the menu thoroughly. I wanted something that kind of resembled a Polish boy so I went with classic slaw and bbq sauce. I added pickle relish and pimento mac and cheese for good measure. Love the vegan options (two dogs, vegan chili, there was a vegan cheese if memory serves. Some of the other options and I kid you not were spaghetti o's and peanut butter. There was literally an entire page worth. I was really planning on only having a taste but you know I ate basically the entire thing. It was spectacular. I have no other words. Worth a stop, without a doubt.

Fun atmosphere and a good find. My friend and I had a wonderful time here. The drinks were…read moredelicious! A bit pricey though, so be warned. My drink was almost $20. Also, the menu makes it sound like the drinks will be a little showy. For example, the drink I ordered said it would be poured out of a Bible. It was called "the blessing." And my friend's was supposed to be served in a piggy bank. And other drinks say they will be served in pineapples, have a fire element, etc. Which sounded super fun! However, it must have just been part of the speakeasy bit? Our drinks were normal cocktails served in normal cocktail glasses. A bit disappointing, so be warned if you are like us and were expecting some razzle dazzle!

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!

Our server was great - very attentive but not overbearing, drinks replenished quickly and food didn't take too long. We got the seafood gumbo, crawfish etoufee, jambalaya and chicken basket. The food was good, not great. It was just kind of bland and I was expecting some flavorful broths for the gumbo and etoufee but we had to add a lot of salt, pepper and hot sauce. I don't even like overly spicy food but this had no kick at all. Thought the gumbo would have some depth of flavor from the roux but it just didn't. We skipped appetizers for dessert and told the waitress that is what we were doing when we ordered entrees. Would have been nice if she told us they were out of 2 of their 6 desserts. We were looking forward to the King Cake -only available on the weekend, and the creme brulee and they were out of both. They opened at 12 and we were sat at 12:30 so imagine they were out when we arrived. The beignets were very good, the key lime pie was just ok, not super strong lime flavor. I think the pricing is fair for the food, but don't like the addition of an administrative fee. I think it was around $5. I am guessing this is for credit cards? Although we were never advised of the fee or asked if we wanted to pay cash. I run a business and credit card fees are part of doing business, I find this tacky on top of a $210 bill. Also be warned a 20% gratuity is added for a party of 5 - which I have never seen before as it is usually for 6 or more.
