BEST DIVE EVER…read more excellent fresh food here, everything I've had is fantastic. This is the Cleveland state college bar but really I've basically seen the working man lunch crowd. It's great. Today I had wings. Prior the chicken salad sandwich, the little Becky burger the big Becky burger I've had the tacos. I had a salad with the chicken salad on it. Everything is so fresh. They have a kitchen that is proud of their work. It's a big place with a storied history, back in the 80s this was the old exedra bar you can look it up. There is a reason that dance floor and the bar is shaped the way it is it's hilarious. I looked it up because I thought this was an old concert club and the bartender told me oh you looked it up and we were dying laughing. They have a free parking lot. It really helps a lot to drive business five stars for dive bars. This place is awesome.

We both sat at the bar but I did notice a few tables and chairs. He bought a Jack & Coke (Jack Daniels) and commented that it was good but a bit pricey. I didn't get anything since I don't drink alcohol (but you can find me sipping on white wine, once in a blue moon...haha). The bar itself is nice. It's a small bar. The staff is friendly. The vibes inside is cool - my friend and I spoke with two women while we were in there who were funny. As I entered just after 10pm, I noticed some band members leaving. It would be nice if Brothers Lounge had some live music for the late night crowd (between 10pm to 11:30pm). Overall, this is a cool weekend night spot to checkout. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 124/250 total reviews in 2026 - 965 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 June 2026

I tried to explain that I ALWAYS get that pizza. She in return became very rude. I ended up ordering a Supreme with "Classic" crust and no sausage. The pizza came out about an 1/2" thick and resembled and taste like no pizza I had EVER had there. That made 2 in a row bad experiences I've had there now. I'm done. It sucks now and that's really too bad. Amazing how dumb ass's can fuck up a good thing.

The first time I found Black River Tavern, I had no idea it was set on a golf course. The restaurant itself is very casual, but elegantly casual. The food: awesome! I got a burger. The burger was great, but the fries were the highlight. Reasonable prices and friendly staff! So the next time I was out there for the class, I suggested we go again! We enjoyed it just as much. And the next time I'm out that way, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to go again. Great place to relax, have a meal, some drinks, and hang out with friends!
