    I wish you could give half stars as this is not quite a 4 but better then 3. Nice little…read moreestablishment in a small plaza. Nice crowd for a small bar. Off the top maybe 5-6 tables and a bar that holds 10-12 people if I was guessing. Multiple TVs playing all sports. Keno, Jukebox also available. Nice neighborhood bar. Staff were very friendly even though they were busy. As for the food, I ordered mozzarella sticks, a hot Italian sub with tater tots. The cheese sticks were bad. Tiny, lukewarm and not much flavoring. Marinara dipping sauce was bland as well. Now for the sub. Unreal Italian Sub. The tots were crispy and salted. The sub was AMAZING... repeat AMAZING. Served with Italian dressing, on a toasted roll. Banana peppers, onion, tomato, with multiple meats and cheeses. Definitely a bar favorite as I saw many people eating the same dish. It's worth a visit or a try if you're in the area. The big positive of this place was the prices. $2.50 a beer and $10 for that sub. My tab was low so that's always a good thing. I would go back to this place however it might be tough sometimes if the bar gets pizza. In the plaza it sits next to a pizza place that I was told you can order the pizza from the bar and they have a window to slide the food through. I didn't try the pizza so I won't review that place. Overall, a 7.1 out of 10 with everything included.

    Friendly place with a lot of regulars. The bartenders are great. Today it was Sarah. She's friendly…read moreand professional at the same time. The regular menu is predictable but good bar food. But always check out the specials for homemade soups and more. Today I had the special: breaded pork chop with home fries and mixed veggies which was great at 15$. Cozy place. Great juke box. Check the joint out.

    We were in the mood for a good burger and we saw that this place had been voted "Best Burger in…read moreCleveland!" So we figured we'd try it out! If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.

    Ambiance - it's a dive bar like the name says, but a NICE dive bar. Lots of TVs and also scarves…read morerepresenting soccer teams. Burgers and fries were tasty and the service was good! We went at a slow time (noon on a Saturday), so we had table service. You might need to put in your orders at the bar during busier times.

    This is like the common watering hole where all animals bow their heads…read more I've heard some very negative comments of all kinds and for what my opinion matters here it is. As far as racism is concerned, this is probably the most least racist bar I have ever been to. It doesn't matter if you're gay or black or Mexican or Chinese or Indian or purple or green or orange, the only time you're gonna get static from anyone is if you pick on the innocent or are not kind to animals. Good and bad bartenders come and go just like good and bad clientele but if you become a familiar face, you can build friendships that have a positive effect on you and people around you. I can bear witness to a lot of joy and acceptance of people for who they are. It can be called the dive bar, but I find that truly everyone is treated equal, So sit down, chill out, live love and laugh, and by the way, the bathrooms are very clean and everybody watches out for each other so don't be an asshole. You'll have a much better time.

    Sweet Jesus I've driven past this place a thousand times and never knew it existed till we stopped…read morein there one night with the party. Its like Moe's Tavern from The Simpsons was alive and well in Mentor Ohio. It's even like Barney the sad drunk sleeping in the bar was intentionally placed inside this building. This place truly is a shot and beer bar that you do not bring a date to. There is a stripper pole and lights / dancing stage in the corner that is meant for ladies and ladies only. The drinks are ridiculously cheap so if your only goal is to sit by yourself and get drunk on 10 bucks this is the place to do it in. There are naked girlie calendars on the wall, bras and underwear stapled to the roof and walls, the pool table a decent jukebox but I'm pretty sure you can catch some sort of disease from out of the restroom or the floor. So if you have a bunch of fellas that want to sit down grab a quick beer parking is easy drinks are cheap but you'll probably not find very many ladies here but that's okay. Give it a shot I have been in much worse.

In all honesty, I wasnt sure what a "Bum Boat", refered to and we both were plesently suprised on the friendly people, cheap drink prices and relaxing ambiance on the Astubula harbor.

    A CLASSIC I first…read moremet the bum boat alongside the CSL boats over at conrail, before they shut the dock. Would be tied up alongside but I didn't know what it was. Well one time the late great Maritime Mel said to my brother come on tommy let's get a drink, and walks onboard. MEL! U can't just go on somebody's boat.... ITS A BAR. Christmas lights were up. The Capt was onboard from the laker. This changes everything, a floating bar for the lakers!!!! This was back in the day early 90's. Well. It was on. Sonny II aka the bum boat, used yo shuttle supplies to the lakers all along the harbor. And was a bar for the mens & ladies while alongside. A great seafaring tradition. Sonny B the sister ship is the water taxi up at PIB. Well for many years now at Ashtabula harbor the bum boat is tied up & open to the public fully licensed sit down bar. The owners are really nice. Live music, have a drink. Fairly large menu board too. I didn't know they had food tbh. It was great chili dog. As good & very similar to skyline. If u love shipping, history, music & dranks, and who doesn't in Ashtabula harbor, get ur arse down to the bum boat & have a blast. It's so unique u will never drink in another place like it. circa 1930. BEAUTIFUL NEW SIGN check it out. 5 star dive bar!!
