Always a great place to wait on outgoing flights. We typically get to the airport way too early and…read morethe United Club is a game changer. You can arrive early, relax, get a full meal with premium drinks at the bargain price of premier access! The service is impeccable, one of these days I'm going to ask one of the female porters her name, she is always there, extremely friendly and professional. She takes the time to talk to her regular travelers, making their time not seem so blah. I love me some United Club. A few months back we met a guy "Brad" who goes from airport up airport hitting up the United Club, why, "because Brad's got to eat."

Andrew and I had been trying to visit longer than we care to admit. Our biggest hesitation was…read moreneither of us had tried a hookah before, but we weren't given much of an option once we found out they were having an emo night. We arrived around 10pm and it was a nice-sized crowd for first timers. You could tell they had a bunch of regulars, which is comforting when trying a new business. Unfortunately, I don't recall the flavors we tried, but it came highly recommended. They told us to pick a seat and they'd bring everything out for us. They were also kind enough to show us how to put it together and use it without embarrassing us lol. We stayed for about 2 hours and there was a pretty decent crowd by the time we left. Honestly, if I didn't stay so far, we'd probably be here on a regular basis. This is place to take your friends if you're looking for a laid back night, while still looking for the "going out" experience.

I've been hearing about the "Aviator" for a long time and for one reason or another just never got…read morethere. Well we finally made it tonight. It is not what I expected. The facility is far bigger than I thought it would be. They have a central restaurant with multiple party centers on either side. It's a really BIG facility. New, modern, and quite attractive. With plenty of convenient parking. The wall of the restaurant that faces Cleveland Hopkins Airport is all glass. It affords you quite an impressive view of the airport and the planes landing. The staff we met was pleasant and efficient. Our server, Mina, did an excellent job all night. If there was a weak point, it would be the food. It was not bad (I'm trying to be kind); it was just uninspired, limited, and not really well prepared. Because they do not offer bread for the table our only option was to order the "Soft Pretzel". It arrived badly overcooked, crunchy not soft, and even boardering on burnt. The charcuterie board was OK, but uninspired. I ordered the "Lemon Chicken" which was a full half chicken in a reasonably good sauce. But the meat was dry and it came only with brussel sprouts (yuk!). My wife had the "Walleye" which she simply said was "okay"... oh well. Our guests weren't any more impressed than we were. I will say our coffee and "Pot de Creme" were very good... thank goodness. All in all, our overall experience was "meh"... just "meh". Sorry - really probably should be 3.5

Celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary called for something simple, yet memorable--and The…read moreAviator delivered exactly that. We dropped in for Happy Hour, looking for cocktails and a few bites, and were immediately struck by the well-appointed space. The runway views at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport added an unexpected layer of entertainment--watching planes take off and land while toasting 14 years of marital bliss felt like the perfect backdrop. We started strong with a French 75 and an Old Fashioned--both expertly crafted, but that Old Fashioned? Smooth, balanced, and memorable enough to set the tone for the entire evening. Wednesday happens to be Wing Day ($2 whole wings), and we took full advantage. We sampled Buffalo, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, and the undeniable star of the show: Garlic Parmesan. Each had its own personality, but that Garlic Parmesan was simply elite. Service was impeccable--Emily was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our experience flowed as effortlessly as the cocktails. Speaking of which, round two brought a Cosmo alongside a repeat of that Old Fashioned...because when you find the right note, you stay in that key. For food, we shared the French Dip Baguette--shaved prime rib, provolone, horseradish aioli, and au jus done right--and paired it with the Mega Crunch Fries, elevated with sea salt, rosemary, and a light truffle oil drizzle. Simple menu items, executed with intention. We closed the evening the same way we began--together, with one final round of Old Fashioneds. A Happy Hour well spent. A celebration well honored. A 14-year journey still taking off.

The Warehouse District has a new upscale spot in town! Recently opening during NBA Allstar weekend…read morein CLE, it has already had the presence of many celebrities come through their doors. The setup has a wow factor as you enter the basement level of the building through a tunnel covered in plants and leading straight to your first photo opp! The circle with pink bench is a cute preview of what's inside. Once you check in with the hostess, enter through a door and welcome to the social club. Beautiful decor that mixes a level of sophistication with a little drama as you see the bright lights. Plenty of seating and even a private room that can be rented out. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is friendly! The menu offers a mix of unique cocktails (and can be made as mocktail a too) and small bites. Upon recommendation, I tried the F.W. Marg drink. So good! The most unique aspect is the watermelon ice cube. As it melts the drink flavor changes. Creative & fun way to enjoy a cocktail. They open at 5pm, which would be a great spot for chill happy hour. Later in the evening, you'll experience more of a lounge/club vibe. Great edition to downtown CLE!

I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!

It's a little bit of tight quarters. Everyone found a seat just fine, but you may end up in a bar-height chair along the window versus a comfy chair along the wall.

A friend of mine decided to treat me to an airport lounge. Unfortunately, his airline did not have…read morea lounge at Hopkins, so we went to The Club CLE. Here are my impressions: The Space (Zero Stars): Super cramped and crowded. Due to its size, it is not a relaxing experience. Whomever designed it must have been trying to renovate a closet. The door was jam packed with people entering and leaving through the narrow doorway. The bulk of the space is a cramped and narrow. At least it prepares you for the middle seat on the plane! Further, the restroom was out of order. For the $50 they charge, restrooms must never, ever be out of order. We had to walk 5 minutes down the concourse for the nearest restroom. The Food (Negative Stars): The food was a joke. For breakfast they had bagels, bread, oatmeal, and some premade omelet cut in triangles. No breakfast meats, no potatoes, nor waffle or pancake maker. The breakfast is far below the free one at your hotel. Lunch was equally bad. Soup and Salad. Woot. Cookies were processed garbage food that you can get at Walmart. They also had flavorless mini muffins. Booze (Three Stars): Booze is the only reason to go to The Club CLE. Drink your $50 worth and you get some value. Employees and Service (Five Stars): The staff was great. Too bad they have to work in such a terrible airport lounge. Conclusion: Skip The Club CLE unless you are a drinker. Airport bars have more space, and restaurants have actual food.

There was a live jazz pianist in every room. The ambiance was great. Keep in mind they don't have dinner food, just bar snacks, so don't come expecting a meal.

I had a margarita and an espresso martini and both cocktails exceeded my expectations! The lime margarita was classic, slightly tart, and made me want another.

The space is cool, speak easy vibes, and the gentleman playing the piano was a nice tough with an ideal volume.

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 lounge is huge, with unique vibes in different rooms behind the various old vault doors still inside. They've highlighted the history here, with cozy lighting and plenty of little nooks and crannies to enjoy with your party. The main area is the bar. The whole place has a 1920s speakeasy vibe; the night we visited a wedding party was fully leaned into this in period attire making it extra fun. They have an okay beer list, it's more about the cocktails. Our bartender was helpful and friendly, despite a growing number of people getting complicated drinks.

Music playing but laid back which was perfect for me since I wasn't really looking for a "party" vibe that night. The frozen Passionfruit Margaritas were delicious, I ended up ordering 2!
