Mazen H.

The staff are awesome . Simply great people and very patient waiting on our large groups . The food is good. I thought the roast beef sandwich meat was pretty dry - maybe the Rueben would have been better. Brunch menu is good but I wish they had an omelette option . The breakfast sandwich was good but I would have preferred it with toast instead of bun.

Pierogies

We ordered the pierogies and salmon boxty. Both were excellent although a bit too saucy for my taste. I'll ask for the sauce on the side next time for sure! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is so fun, staff was extremely accommodating, and the lake view is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Corned beef boxty
Deb O.

The service was excellent! The food was excellent; opted for a salmon wrap and a corned beef boxty. Then, on the recommendation of the waitress, we had desert. We don't normally get desert however she said it was her favorite. It was the bread pudding with bourbon sauce. Excellent! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere on the patio was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a holiday weekend and they ran out of 3 of the beers that I had selected. I was able to get my fourth pick. I also wanted the sauce on the side for the boxty. These were the only problems encountered.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the patio, is dog friendly, and the live music![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have solid salad options, would recommend the smoked Gouda and chicken salad every time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun Irish pub with lots of parking![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

My friend always drives past this restaurant so it's been on her list for a while. It's pretty nondescript from the outside. But the inside is very much an Irish bar. Pretty family friendly and I'm sure they have a lot of regulars. The staff is very friendly too. For drinks, I got the hot toddy while my friend got an espresso martini. Strong on the alcohol! I liked my hot toddy but my friend couldn't finish her martini. For our entrees, I got the corned beef hash while my friend got a French toast sandwich. Delicious! But also very heavy! I was full for hours! I would come back though. We both saw other items on the menu that looked good. They have two parking lots on both sides of the building which is good.

Shepherds pie

Great food and service. Megan was extremely good to us, very efficient. And very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We really enjoyed ourselves looking out over the lake.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Corned beef on rye
Debbie N.

I wish I could give 4.5 stars because I really did enjoy The Harp, but it wasn't exactly 5 stars. Anyway, the food was delicious, although I will say I did get a simple corned beef sandwich, and chips so kinda hard to screw up. Waited FOREVER for my horseradish though. The other people I was with ordered a Rueben and 2 boxtys, everyone said their food was good Drinks were good. Atmosphere was nice. Service was a little inattentive and slow, but at least we were served - another table by us said they were waiting 20 minutes and a server (same server we had) never came over! Very nice patio - although it was a little hot so we stayed inside!! A little more on the pricey side for a lunch - would be ok for dinner.

Arrived to the airport early and had some time to kill, so I decided to have lunch here. It wasn't…read moreoverly busy, so I was able to get a table which was located in an open area that overlooked the concourse/terminal. My waitress (Renee) immediately greeted me, she was friendly & professional and offered to take my drink order, since I was ready, she took my order, fish & chips which comes with a cup of coleslaw. The food arrived fairly quickly and I was impressed at the size of the meal. A large fillet perfectly fried and crispy. The fries were ok, but they do offer malt vinegar on the side and a the tartar sauce was good. The place definitely has that old English pub feel and appeared to be clean and orderly. I would definitely dine here again, when flying in or out of Cleveland Hopkins.

The sandwiches ($21) came with pub chips which I was good with. My husband wanted fries instead so he paid $3 more for fries. I ordered my sandwich with no cheese or aioli/mayo. I did ask for honey mustard instead and was charged $1.00 for a tiny cup of it. But did they take some money off for the removal of cheese or aioli?? The sandwich itself was good but it was on the smaller side. I can never finish a whole sandwich but I finished this one. Service was good for an airport restaurant. We did try to find a table with outlets to charge our phones and they didn't have any.

We went on a Saturday evening around 5pm and ordered…read more cocktails and wings. I've seen other reviews about the wings being too crispy but I thought they were great! I want them to be crispy on the outside with a mouthful of chicken in each bite and they were just that. The lemon pepper sauce was very salty, but I love salt and vinegar chips so I was prepared. This is your typical Irish bar - long bar with 8-10 rectangle tables. We sat at the bar and our bartender/server was very friendly and helpful.

The first warning before the actual review is don't even attempt to come to this bar on a Thursday…read morenight after 7pm. Every John Carroll University student attends this bar at this time. You won't even be able to stand. As for my other visit, it was on a Friday night. A nice sized crowd, full bar. Sports game on the television. A nice atmosphere for a neighborhood bar. A great touch is the 1 pinball machine in the corner. Older game but it does take up something to do with friends. As with service we were told that the bar is extremely behind by a rude bartender named Meg. You can tell she was overwhelmed and just seemed to be having a rough day. A few minutes later we were told by staff that the kitchen was now closed. Pretty strange as the menu is mainly all bar served fried food or burgers etc. The bartender also announced that they were out of fish as well. I continued to order drinks, they were cold and tasted as advertised. About an hour or so later , the kitchen was then re opened when the bar was less crowded. I order a dozen wings, garlic Parmesan with ranch. The wings were real solid. Nice and crispy and the garlic and parm combo was just enough. The basket of fries we got were average fries. Not crispy, nor salty but atleast they were hot. The prices were about average, no complaints about that. Overall, the bar does not seem to handle stress or large crowds very well. My wings were good, fries were average like I said. My friends attend this bar often and did tell me that this bar is not like this usually. May have been a rough day. I assume I will be back again, I wouldn't pick this place to go to but the location is close enough to the area we hang out. Not so much of any certain type of theme at the bar but I did notice the staff recognize many patrons by name so it will continue to be the neighborhood bar for many. Overall a 6.7 out of 10.

Erin was our server and she was amazing, from beginning to end! We would come back just for her, but I know she works limited hours because she's busy being an epic artist! She let my dad tell her dad jokes and when he wanted to meet Leo (because he looks like Fish from Shoresy and my mom thought he was hot) they obliged which was truly going above and beyond (even if it made me and my sister a little awkward). The boudin balls were great! Very similar to New Orlean's verisons so that was great! We also tried the hot rocks which were also great! Our table tried both gumbos, the jambalaya and the crab cakes. All of which were delicious and the closest you'll find to NOLA style around here! For dessert my mom scored the last creme brulee which made her day and the rest of us had beignets. Their beignets are definitely not Cafe Beignet or Loretta's level, but they are still absolutely delicious as their own dessert, like a mix between a funnel cake and a beignet! Drinks were also amazing! It's one of like 3 places you can get a Pimms cup in Cleveland! They had a lot of other cool options and Sunday looks like it's usually an all day happy hour so we have to go back! And finally, I just have to note how beautiful the place is. Decor everywhere you look, my little sister couldn't stop taking pictures! It was such a lovely experience! I can't say enough great things!

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!

We…read morewere told that many of the cast members ate here while filming the movie, which made us even more excited to give it a try. After looking over the menu, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of both vegan and non-vegan options available. In fact, if you ask, they have a separate vegan menu with tons of choices, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something appealing. The atmosphere has that classic small-town neighborhood bar feel--casual, comfortable, and full of local charm. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick, which made the experience even better. We ordered the vegan pierogi dinner and the meatloaf dinner. The vegan cheese in the pierogies wasn't our favorite, but the dish was still very flavorful and enjoyable overall. The meatloaf dinner was a generous portion and absolutely excellent--comfort food done right. Between the welcoming atmosphere, diverse menu, and great service, The Rowley Inn was a delightful find. Whether you're visiting the Christmas Story House or just looking for a great local spot, it's definitely worth a stop. We'd happily visit again!

They have a large menu of various pierogies and kielbasas, as well as traditional pub fare. They also have a great beer menu of the core basics and well as Cleveland/Ohio craft selections. The actual place feels like your inside an old house, with low ceilings and dim lighting. Our server was efficient and welcoming. They have a great bar area right inside the door too, and lean into their location with their own major award right inside. I ordered one of the veggie leaning pierogie dishes and loved how it was served with onions and sour cream. It was a delicious dish, which was much needed on an empty stomach. Prices are great.
