My friend and I decided to stop here one evening prior to going to a show at Playhouse Square. We often come to shows, but we had never tried Moe's before. I think this will be our go to from here on out, as our experience was so good. First off, it's in very easy walking distance from the actual theater district. Secondly, it was not busy at all, even right before a busy show. The bartender was very friendly and accommodated all of our requests. We split a salad and he even had it came out in two separate bowls, and allowed us each choose a different salad dressing. We also split a pizza which was excellent and came out very quickly. The bartender checked on us often and we made it to our show on time. The prices were much better than most restaurants in the area, as well. I can see why this restaurant gets 4.8 stars. It deserves them. The next time you come to Playhouse Square check this place out. read more

Great spot! The wood-fire pizzas are amazing, good local craft beer selection, and super nice staff!

Do you guys have a Leaky Bum? Food was good Drinks were mid I met Homer Simpson there. W Tavern.

Great neighborhood bar near Cleveland State's Campus. The bartender Tom is super kind and patient. The bar is well light and it's pretty spacious with lots of seating areas, as well as a good sized empty space near the bar for standing. They offer pretty basic bar food like wings, mozzarella sticks, and pizza, but done well. Their pizzas always look delicious, though I've never tried them. I got the chicken tenders which come with seasoned waffle fries. Both are undeniably delicious, and their honey mustard is perfect. Awesome spot to grab a drink and maybe make a friend while watching a game. read more

Love Moe's, never heard of anyone who's been there who doesn't. Cozy, classic bar. I wouldn't call it a dive, though I've heard from out of towners that it comes up in searches for them. Tom the bartender is the best. Typically a one-man show behind the rectangular bar but he never keeps you waiting. A true pro. If you go regularly, there's a great chance he knows your order. Food is standard bar food at reasonable prices. This is the place to go if you want to feed your inner child chicken tenders and waffle fries. Top notch tendies. Southwest rolls are also good. Lots of people stop in before or after shows at Playhouse Square (sometimes even the dancers from the Broadway series). Often it's quiet, sometimes it's packed. Moe's has Last Call Trivia on Wednesday nights at 7 with a small but mighty regular following. It's a good place to play as there aren't typically any other loud, non-playing groups to listen over. It's becoming less of a hidden gem every year, but that's great news in my book. read more

Stopped in here about a month ago, with a group of friends, to play "Last Call" trivia and have a bite to eat. Love the old-school vibe of this place and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. My wife and I ordered several items to share, off their limited menu (including some good stuff during their Happy Hour timeframe)...a sourdough pretzel, Southwest spring rolls and a small pepperoni pizza. All our food came out at once, and along with a cold draft beer everything went down pretty easy. Looks like their "regular" menu had a bit more appetizers, sandwiches and salads to sample along with a more extensive selection of 10" Neapolitan style pizzas. Looking forward to a return visit to give those other items a try! read more

Moe's tavern was very great and Somone pranked called them saying if they someone there first name: Lee. last name was: kibum" It sounded like like leakybum. The drink was great. the place looked like a bar but good and the ambiance felt good read more

This cozy hidden gem of a dive bar-esque establishment was a nice spot to hang out with some coworkers after dinner. We ordered some drinks at the bar and parked ourselves at a nice high top table booth by the window. I loved the cozy warm, wood tones with the string lights that brought it all together. They had a single bowling lane and a darts board, which was perfect for the small space. Overall, we had a great time at Moe's and it's definitely a spot to check out before/after a show at the nearby Playhouse Square -- or just to relax and hang out. read more

Great place. Good atmosphere, attentive and accommodating staff, and excellent food at reasonable prices.

Temporarily closed. Check website or alternate for hours. Thanks @Moes for responding. I'm glad I may yet still have the opportunity to visit. read more

I am incredibly unfamiliar with Cleveland, but was going to be in town for an event at Playhouse Square. I was left with just Yelp to help me find a place in walking distance that didn't cost an obscene amount for dinner. Thankfully I found Moe's! The menu isn't huge, but there's a decent pizza selection and who doesn't love pizza? I admittedly picked Moe's because the Sunny Side Up pizza looked amazing. The menu is pretty laden with references to old shows, and the vibe of the restaurant matched. I did amusingly realize that reservations for dinner on a Wednesday night wasn't necessary, but hey... better safe than sorry. I ordered a Moscow mule and the sunny side up pizza, both were exceptionally good. If I didn't live two hours away, that pizza would most definitely be something I'd want to order regularly. I'd most definitely recommend checking Moe's out if you're in the area! read more

Great food pizza and service. Great bar for watching sports! Casual atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Moe's tavern. I would have been happy if they had a crotchety asshole for a bartender, but Tom is cool dude. If you haven't been to Moe's, then you have one less story to tell than I do. They're figuring out their food menu right now, but the tenders and waffle fries are on point. Get down to Moe's, tell people about it, and be happy... Or else!!!

This was a fun bar to visit. It used to be decorated mainly in the Simpson theme but new ownership redecorated. There are still hints of Moe though. The writer would sit at the bar and lived above it. The bartender was Tom, he was awesome, took great care of us. They had a Rum infused with peach and ginger that was amazing! Food was delicious. Definitely would go back if ever in town!! read more

It was okay and not so okay. The menu posted on Yelp is outdated which we found out upon calling. They don't have a website so they told us their menu is posted on Google maps. The chili dry rub wings were very good but to add sides of 2 oz ranch or blue cheese costs $1 each which is crazy overpriced. They should tell you that upfront. Had I known that I would not have ordered, but unfortunately, the wings really need the sauce for dipping. The mac and cheese bites would not order again. I think they were frozen and nothing special. We were looking forward to trying their pizza and ordered the Cowabunga. They told us they were out of the sourdough crust, however, we could order it with the cauliflower crust for no extra charge. So, I found out that a cauliflower crust is #1 terrible tasting and #2, totally not worth $14. Shame on them. And, the pizza had 7 pieces of sausage. Never again. The guy that took my order said it would take 30 minutes which was way too long as the food was cold when I arrived and they were pretty dead with one table of people and alone girl sitting at the bar. We ordered the house salad which was pretty good but too much iceberg lettuce for the price. We added crispy chicken and that would have been really good but it was overcooked, so very dry. I don't get that as they were not busy at all. It seems like their menu has gone through several iterations and I question how they would be able to handle a large crowd. I don't think they could. I would not go back just for the wings, nor the atmosphere. read more

Stopped back in again with a friend before the School of Rock performance at Playhouse Square. I'm adding a star because the food was better this time around and because of the feedback from the business owner on my original review. I am more willing to give a second shot to a business that is friendly and understanding than to a business that yells at customers for not liking something. I got the kel's orange soda cocktail $6 again, but this time around I went for pizza and wings for food. This was a much better choice than last time! I would definitely recommend these things over the wraps. However, some negative. I asked if I could get the cowabunga $13.95 pizza but with basil instead of sausage and was told yes. But when my bill came I saw that I paid $11.95 plus $1.95 for pepperoni and another $1.95 for basil so my pizza came out to $15.85. Same amount of toppings. Usually meat is the more expensive topping so I didn't think the swap out would be a big deal and I'm annoyed the guy taking my order wasn't honest about it. Had I known I wouldn't have done that. How is a pepperoni pizza with basil more expensive than a pepperoni pizza with sausage? Anyways, the pizza was really tasty. I got it on the cauliflower crust and it was enjoyable with just a very mild cauliflower taste. Same texture as a normal pizza crust. I especially liked dipping it into a side of their homemade ranch dressing (extra $1). I also got 1/2 pound of their wings $7.95. I wasn't familiar with the wing sauces so I asked for my wings to come out naked with two sauces on the side. I was told this was no problem that it would just be a small charge for the extra sauce, I said like 50¢? and was told yes. Six wings arrived and I dipped them into yukon gold and sriracha garlic sauces. The latter was my favorite, so good! But when the bill came I saw that the side of sauce was a dollar extra even though they only filled the 2oz container half way. We all know when you coat the wings in the back you're using way more than the little sides of sauce I asked for... I support local businesses making unique tasty in-house items, and when it comes to food that's my biggest monthly expense, I make those dolla bills rain down on restaurants, just... Listen, if I have to pay extra for something that is fine, but you need to tell me this upfront so I can make an informed decision. If I do decide to pay more then I expect the item I am paying extra for to have the full amount in it/to be worth your charging me extra for it. Otherwise it's like I am being nickle and dimed/cheated. I really liked the food and have even thought about running into the city just to grab take-out, but my experience with the pricing is still displeasing to think about so imma need some time to get over it. read more

What a unique, friendly place to relax and have some craft beer and munchies. We sat at the bar and had an enjoyable discussion with the owner who was bartending that night. They had 7 of their own beers on tap, plus 4 from outside brewers. Hubby enjoyed a "Henry K Duff's Private Reserve" which is a white IPA, plus a Double Duff Imperial IPA at 8.4% ABV. They only have a limited menu of bar snacks, wings, pizza and salads. We both had generous salads with dark leafy greens with dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, feta, croutons, and a crispy fried chicken breast. We wanted to try their wings are baked (not fried) in an 800° clay oven. They come out crispy, but not greasy. We chose their Yukon Gold sauce, a vinegary & mustard based sauce which was very tasty. We enjoyed hearing the story of the building that dates back to 1880 (!) and what it took to renovate the building. And yes, this tavern was the original inspiration for the infamous Moe's Bar on The Simpsons. Drink local and support a great small business! read more

Stopped at Moe's to meet up with a group before a wrestling meet at CSU. Nice location if you're going to CSU for any event. The place has a great vibe, low key but lots of energy. The pizza (sausage and pepperoni) was excellent. Thin crust, nice sauce with the right balance of sweet and acid. Thin crust was crunchy and they use high quality ingredients. IF YOU PARK IN THE PAY LOT, PAY!! The company that manages these lots are hungry and they will ticket you for $75. I left the car for five minutes, came back out with the card I needed to use and they would not back down on the ticket. If that's the worst thing that happens to me today, I've had a good day I suppose. Anyhow, go to Moe's the reports are that their beers are pretty excellent. I can speak to the food which was high quality pub grub (super limited menu, beer is the star here). read more

Popped in after a show at The Agora, it was one of the few places open and serving food at 1am on a weeknight. The menu was your average bar room fair, pizza... wings... deep fried odds and ends. We grabbed mini corn dogs, fried pickle Spears, and a "pound" of wings. I put pound it quotes because I really doubt there was an entire pound there. They were good, oven baked crispy and covered in a decent sticky all be it too sweet sauce. They need an option for spicy wings. All of their wing sauces are on the sweet side per our waitress. It's kind of blasphemous to serve wings and not offer "hot" or buffalo wings. The pickles were definitely the star of the show, hand battered golden and served with a side of some sauce I wanted to sip with a straw. The corn dogs were nothing special, but not bad either. They did have a good selection of local/craft beers and obviously a full bar. The service was excellent. We were served quickly and our drinks were kept full. Everyone was fast and friendly. We had a nice conversation about the local music scene with some of the staff. Bottom line, it's a solid spot for late night bar grub. read more

I've walked past this place plenty of times. Decided to finally stop in for a drink after a show. The place looks great. Very clean, inviting, and great 90s decor. Not a lot of people there for a Friday night so I'd probably have to blame that on their drink prices. Has potential to be a popular place with the location. read more

Moe's is a cool little hole-in-the-wall place. Rough cut wood tables and bar with old brick walls gives it a very comfortable feel. Half a dozen video games completes the retro feel. Got the house dark porter (Dark Duff) and the House triple IPA (Triple Duff Dare). Both were very good. The fried pickles were very good. The sweet of the dipping sauce offset the tangyness of the pickles. We got the turkey bacon wrap which was warm, meaty, and big! A couple orders of wings rounded out the meal. The Dr. Pepper barbecue was good, but very sweet. The garlic Sriracha wings were really good with a good flavor and not overly spicy. Definitely a cool little bar with a very local feel. Next time we come up to Playhouse, going to be stopping by here again. read more

This was a super fun place right by Playhouse Square, but away from all the hustle and bustle on Euclid. We went right before a Friday night show and got seats at the bar. Their Mule cocktails are delicious (I tried the orange). We split a pizza and a half dozen wings. All was tasty, though for the two of us, we probably should have have opted for a second pizza or a full dozen wings (or what looked like enormous sandwiches!). read more

Ordered Moe's last night through Uber Eats, and the Uber delivery person messed up the order. I called the restaurant directly and they were so kind to have the owner of the restaurant personally deliver the rest of our order. For the inconvenience, they gave us free cannolis and $90 worth of Grub Hub coupons! Customer service at its best! Basically, Uber eats is not reliable, and Moe's went above and beyond to rectify something that wasn't their mistake. Support good businesses like this! read more
