Tasty salad and Irish lamb stew. Friendly, efficient service. Nice neighborhood find.

We stopped in here for dinner with kids. This was not the place for that type of party...lol. We're not from the area. Anywho, there service is on point and efficient. The house salad is very good. We ordered chicken wings, chicken strips and burgers. The food was very good. However, it's extremely loud. We kinda laughed and used that as an excuse to phone zone. I would recommend a drop in. read more

The Old Angle Tavern - American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I am loving The Old Angle! The man & I have been here several times in the past, but usually on Saturday mornings at the cusp of being too early for a drink. Always the same bartender, Matt, is there and & he's super nice, helpful. Great bloody Mary's here, and great beer. This is a European pub to be sure. Football (SOCCER) is always on the telly. Old Speckled Hen and Bass is on tap and well of course, Guinness! A few weeks ago we were starving, post run, and post shopping at the West Side Market and decided to order some food. OMG! The Potato Leek Soup was outta sight. (Yep, I said "outta sight"). The man ordered the D'Angle which is their version of a Reuben and Holy Corned Beef! That was the best corned beef I've EVER, EVER had!!! The fries are great too. I ordered the Grilled Cheese which had tomato & bacon on it. YUM!! YUM!!! I had the Guinness Battered Onion Rings and those were excellent too, especially with the Guinness mustard. They have some great vegetarian options, and of course the traditional "Bangers & Mash" to go w/ the theme of the bar. I suggest you head your hiney over & go get some great food & booze! read more

If you are into friendly corner bars with unexpectedly good, fresh food instead of fried bar food, this is your place. The ambience and charm of a corner bar with upscale, farm to table food . The prices may be a little pricier than what you might expect from a divey sort of corner bar, but oh so worth it. This place is clean, comfy and friendly serving some great dishes like lobster roll, homemade meatloaf, deconstructed pork shank tacos and many more. Do yourself a favor when in the W. 25 area and walk in here. You will be greeted with a friendly smile and some darn decent food. read more

The Old Angle Tavern - American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

We were bar crawling in Ohio City recently when we looked across the street at the Old Angle Tavern. Since we had never been there, we decided to venture into the unknown and we were pleasantly surprised. The waiter and bartender was super funny and friendly and he's from Parma, just like me. The beer selection was good and surprisingly, the Wit beer I ordered came in a can, but was really delicious. I love Wheat beer! We didn't try any food, but we learned that there is a Sunday soccer club that meets here to watch games. That sounds fun. The basement is cool and rentable. The Old Angle has medieval or castle theme going on, which we liked. I can't wait to go back for a full meal! Love the friendly, unassuming, down to earth atmosphere. read more

Best place in Cleveland to watch soccer and enjoy drinks and food with friends!!!! Love watching Manchester United! Super fun and hardworking staff! Tvs are incredible! Great seating! Definitely will start to be a regular!!! Thank you Old Angle!!! Cheers! read more

A decent place to grab a pint in and relax. What makes this place great is that they show a variety of soccer (English football) matches. Staff was very friendly especially when they found out I was visiting from out of town. I caught a Liverpool vs United match on a Sat and the atmosphere as great. Would have liked the tee to be a bit louder though. A negative is that they don't serve breakfast despite opening the doors for a 9am match, so you have to sit around till 11am. Free coffee is a nice touch though. read more

Awesome place! Joe is the best! We will be back just bc of him. I was unsure of what I wanted so I told him my mood. Perfection!

Great atmosphere! Steak salad was absolutely amazing. Cooked perfectly! The D'Angle sandwich was huge, enough for two people or leftovers!

Good atmosphere & waiter was great. Food was delicious, large portions & quick service

If you're going to the old anger tavern, make sure you wear a soccer scarf and jersey or else they won't wait on you. This staff continuously passed by my empty drink on the bar in favor of serving the hooligans sitting next to me. Kitchen wasn't open but they were out of half of the stuff anyhow. One star review. Avoid at all costs. read more

I've been coming here for years and tonight has been my favorite experience. Larry is a true gentleman. Old Angle is blessed to have him. Love you, goodnight read more

I love Mac & Cheese and this is one of the best takes on Mac & cheese. It was delicious and the portion size was huge. I was unable to finish all of the noodles. Honestly, I am going to go back for this dish alone. Beyond the food the service is great. The waiter was very attentive to us despite having a large crowd. read more

I like The Old Angle, but I am so mad that I just have to complain somewhere. The place's website won't let me. Try it--it won't work! So I had two brain aneurysms and a stroke late last year. Before that, I was a whirling dervish, had been the Angle, took out-of-towners to the Angle...the whole bit. Right now, after the stroke, I am expected to make a full recovery, but I have no balance. I see weird, I walk weirder, and I don't drive. The bartender at The Old Angle wouldn't serve me because he thought I was drunk. I wasn't drunk. We just moved down the street with people, astonished people. My friend tried to explain what had happened to me but he wasn't having it. Did I say I was a bartender? I am, and I would do the same thing at first. But I would talk to the person (I can talk) and see that I am reasonable and, uh, normal. He wouldn't talk to me. I am normal, my brain is just dumb and doesn't always tell my body what to do. This was like three weeks ago. I plan on going there - its locally-owned, it's right there, I did like it, but that really sucked. read more

Keep taking this down Yelp and Ill keep writing a new one. This is how I feel about this place. Management can keep reporting reviews instead of actually FIXING the bartenders. Read Paul R review as well. I'm not the only one who knows the bartenders here act like its their friggin playground...go to Edisons late on certain nights and watch them in all their glory.. Place has really changed. Shepards pie is still good and they have the same macro Irish/British beers you would find anywhere. Burger was done right last time but the fries taste like butt. When they first started they went for the local Irish, neighborhood feel. Ive seen Boys From Co Hell play here as well as other good Irish bands. Now its morphed into this w.25th cheesey/jock/frat/college/preppy/tweaker/tourist place. Its new urbanites trying to re-live their college days. Drive by on a sunday and peep all the people in Ohio State or Browns gear milling about sloppy and chain smoking outside. If 25th had a sports bar, this would be it. Its like the Barley House Downtown but the bartenders are still up from the night before. Anyone in the biz will know them by name. Come on whiskey night and watch them keep up with the patrons 1-for-1. If your in their little clique they hook you up bigtime. If your not, your the only fool paying for drinks at a full bar. Cheers! read more

The Old Angle Tavern - Pablo approved! - American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Yep, five stars. I'm updating my review because I've noticed that many places I've reviewed (and loved) are now closed. The Dredgers Union closing was a big blow. And I actually liked at first how the Dragonfly Lounge tried a different vibe than everyone else. But it too is gone. So is Phoenix Coffee on West 9th. How did it close? It was the best coffee house in Cleveland. That said, the Old Angle is immune. As others have pointed out, it's more than a bar. I am not that cool of a guy, but the bartenders always act as though I am, and make most everyone feel welcome. I came here to call the police, passing up many other places with telephones, after having a gun in my face while getting robbed. Maybe this place makes you feel safe. Roaring fireplaces have that effect sometimes. They also gave me a set of shot glasses after my stepmother passed away. She loved the Angle too, despite only being there a couple times with me. But, this is a review site, so I'll get back to the point. Their shortrib sliders are the best food item on West 25th Street. Order them. Tonight. I can't imagine a pub able to consume more Powers whiskey than this place. They've even got me drinking it sometimes. They would be able to defeat any bar, anywhere, in a "Powers-Off" (should have done that during the blackout. Man, do I need to be in marketing). That is all. read more

A group of us visited this bar on a Thursday evening for food and drinks. When we entered there was hardly 10 people in the bar. We took a seat and the server took our drink order. My friend asked for a lime and didn't get one, she asked again when he checked in but 10 minutes later when he took our food order but still no lime. We went up to the bar and got it ourselves, no huge deal. After 45 minutes had gone by we still didn't have our food. We could see the food sitting in the window at the opposite end of the bar but our server was nowhere to be found. After 10 minutes sitting in the window the server appeared from behind the bar and brought our food. How disappointed we were. My friend got fish and chips and the coleslaw had sat so long in the window that her batter was soggy. My girlfriend ordered the chicken toes and they came out a dark brown and black at certain places. By this point we had enough, we waited almost an hour for our food and when it came it was a sad disappointment. Our server came over and we asked to speak with a manager and the server told us he was. We expressed our frustration with how long the food took and how disappointed we were with the food and the server/manager without skipping a beat turned around and walked away from us mid-sentence. We waited to see if he'd come back but he never did. We paid for our drinks with cash and went next door for dinner. We felt disrespected when our food took so long and the server/manager never came to say anything, never asked if we wanted another drink in that 55 minutes and then when we voice our concern he turns his back and just walks away. Maybe we went on a bad night but that manager needs a lesson in hospitality. My friends and I will never go back to this establishment as it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had at a restaurant. I'm only assuming the manager has no financial investment at the Old Angle because if he did he wouldn't have treated his customers the way he did. read more

I don't think I've been at a place that was more rude. We had a rather large party and were standing by the door because we couldn't find anyone to seat us. Meanwhile, I don't think a table there seats more than 4.. After about a few minutes of not seeing an employee, we sat down and moved two tables together. The bearded fellow who eventually acknowledged our existence made snide remarks about our having moved a couple of tables together (there was only one other group of 8 sitting at tables that had been moved together). We left before ordering and moved the tables to their original position. We weren't welcome for whatever reason and I will not be going back. read more

Pretty solid spot. Very comfortable kind of place, especially if you happen to be sitting near the fireplace. The mix of music was cool - from Neil Diamond to Joy Division. You could actually hear yourself and others speaking, which is always a plus in any bar. Beer selection is so-so. They had La Fin du Mond - which is one of my favorites. I wanted to switch it up, so I got a Cocaine Lady (which is similar to a White Russian and has a splash of coke in it) after my beer. And this is my only complaint about the Old Angle: I was charged for a White Russian and then charged for a Stoli Vanilla as well. The adorable bartender asked me if wanted that, to be fair, but I didn't know I'd get charged for two drinks. I probably should have said something about that and I'm sure it would have been fixed. Oh well, not a huge deal really. Really awesome atmosphere, good company, adorable bartenders, I'll definitely be back. read more

I went here for my first yelp meetup ! Although the Old Angle looks like other 'Irish' bars/pubs at first glance, he Old Angle stands out above the rest of them. The crowd was much more subdued than I have encountered (drunk frat boys) at other 'Irish' bars. The beer selection was solid although with only 5 [all microbrews] on tap, they have a very wide bottle selection with domestics and microbrews. Their prices were reasonable for Ohio City, most 16oz drafts (microbrew) for $4 or $5. Their discounts on happy hour covered a wide variety of mixed drinks (about a dozen of them), shots, beers, and Irish whiskeys (even aged Jameson). A few happy hour appetisers rounded out the menu (I only nibbled on a couple fries, which were tasty). Additionally, their happy hour menus were available and clearly listed all of their items - something that I don't see enough. Despite the busy Friday Happy hour, our server was very good. He forgot to bring a water for me after requested for one (and seemed to disappear for a few minutes) but he made up for it afterwards by bringing carafes of water for our table afterwards and attended to us much more. He was happy to give us separate tabs for 6-7 at the table. I'm glad to go here. read more

I really like this place. It is homey, quiet, and offers great food. I am a little annoyed by the OSU crap that they put up during football season, but everyone has to make a living I suppose. I will probably lose 50% of my friends for calling a giant inflatable Brutus "crap" but I believe that in the war against hooknasties and hambones, there will be some regrettable casualties. The Old Angle is not a sports bar; it is a pub where you can catch a game (most apt to be soccer) and drink a pint while enjoying really, really good grub. Their pub grub is top notch and worth stopping in for, with or without the pint. To make a long story short: if you want to go to Ohio City and haven't experienced the Old Angle, go. Now. Leave work early. read more

How did I end up at the Old Angle Tavern? Its where my sandwich from Bogtrotters was delivered. And I'm glad it was because the Old Angle Tavern was a really neat experience. I loved the old decor. It reminded me of those old neighborhood bars that were on every street corner in Chicago back in the 70's. I had a great time hanging out with the locals, cheering on the Indians. If you're looking for a fabulous, local bar that has a retro feel and friendly vibe, The Old Angle Tavern is the place to go. Its a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy a cold one. Its like going back to a simpler time when your biggest worry was where your next draft beer was coming from. Personally, I miss those days. read more

The farm to table meals on the list of specials tonight were awesome. The homemade chicken potpie was worth the 27th review update of this place. My man ordered the slow cooked pork over whipped mashed potatoes--both meals came with fresh baguettes. Keep doing what you're doing guys!! read more

The Old Angle Tavern - Chicken pot pie (on special) - American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Dim lighting, mahogany furniture, tall ceilings covered in tin, stone tile flooring, a cozy fireplace and dark red accents abound, this Gaelic inspired Tavern has a sort of Medieval personality to it. Located in the heart of Ohio City, The Old Angle can be easily found on the main drag of West 25th Street, just next to Ohio City Burrito. My first visit was to meet with other local Yelpers. I've since returned to bring a group of friends prior to a Cavs game. On both occasions, we were treated to extraordinary service with great food and drinks. The bar offers a limited quantity of draught beers, but each of the tap offerings seems plenty adequate to please most Irish pub dwellers. The bottled selection is abundant and consists mostly of quality craft brews, including a local favorite of mine, Indigo Imp! The menu is well balanced and consists of not only classic Irish mainstays, but plenty variety for the health conscious and dietary restricted. I consider myself honored to have been introduced to The Old Angle. And unbeknownst to many of our suburban friends, there ARE downtown dining options outside of Flannery's, The House of Blues and The Hard Rock Cafe, and it just so happens to be located just across the Hope Memorial Bridge among the other popular destinations in glorious Ohio City. Old Angle, I look forward to my return! read more

Those 2 stars are a gift! We stopped in here after a trip to the Westside Market for lunch. We got there shortly after they opened and were the first ones there. The bartender/waiter didn't seem at all happy that we were there. While we were sitting there another family came in and stood by the door waiting for the guy to seat them. After about 5 minutes of them standing there and with him nowhere to be found they walked out. We both ordered the corned beef and all I can say is I've had better. I love corned beef and I could tell this stuff was at least a day or two old and just warmed up and done so the wrong way. The fries were good but I'm not going back for fries. It's a shame that a place in that location was so bad when everything else around there is pretty good. I give it 2 stars cause the place has potential to be really cool. Maybe it is. Maybe I was there the wrong day. Better employees and better food is all this place is missing which unfortunately are pretty important in the restaurant business.... read more

Great neighborhood bar, surprisingly exceptional food. Lamb sliders were the best we've ever had ! Super friendly service, excellent drinks. Funky old decor, but that adds to the grunge bar feel. Went to see Austin Walkin Cane on Friday night happy hour. Awesome slide guitar player read more

I think Will S. summed it up very well, but I just wanted to give an enthusiastic "hear, hear" for the Old Angle. Last night I met fellow Yelpers, drank affordable and pretty good beer (and Original Sin cider), had a place to sit, ate yummy fries, and our group was attended to nicely by our server. Plus, I've heard they play rugby games, which doesn't really matter to me, but which will eventually lure my husband to this place. The crowd was pretty large, but not overwhelmingly so. An added bonus: when I got there earlier than anyone, and sat at the bar by myself while I waited for a familiar face to come through the door, I wasn't given weird looks by either the bartender or the fellow patrons. Overall, I really liked the vibe of this place a lot. read more

Buy one get one shots of Powers on Sundays and complimentary pizza. OF COURSE 5 stars. Only complaints: With all the stairs involved in locating the bathrooms, you might want to limit your amount of free whiskey. Also, with the patio accessed by climbing out the window, see whiskey advisory above. Have yet to eat here, but I love the wood bar, decor, and the layout of the bar. Makes easy for groups to intermingle. read more

I think this is considered a "local bar", but in the sence that the "local" are actually normal human beings that are not scuzzy. Usually when I think local bar, I think that I would be comfortable in a sweatshirt. This is not the case with the old Angle. It is a classy establishment with a local feel. The previous reviewer was righ on when suggesting to watch a soccer game there. That is the "type" that would be there. It's a nice place for food, to meet after work, to go out to on a weekend, to meet up with an old friend, to go to a first date on (it's actually kinda romantic) or to watch a game. Very versitile. read more

One of the top bars in Ohio City. Totally comfortable atmosphere, friendly and casual. GREAT food, strong drinks, experienced bartenders. Nice big TVs for my boyfriend to watch sports. Try the lamb taco special on Thursdays... delicious! Love the front tables with the big windows open! Only downside: They no longer have desserts. :( read more

You've all walked by. There is that ominous looking wooden door in the basement near the bathrooms. I always had figured that it was to some kind of closet or possibly a torture chamber? Actually, it's a long thin private party room. They rent this out for free so long as you can guarantee enough people. They may have even thrown in free food from what I recall. It was great! I especially liked it because it's cozy, they were more than hospitable and they let us do karaoke! Yeaaaa!!!! So anyway, now you know what that room is...it's a bastion of joy and debauchery. read more

I have been to The Old Angle a lot... and in the beginning, I was not a fan at all. The service was mediocre at best and I did not seem impressed with the service. After they worked out those issues, things definitely did change. Good food, better service, great beer, great decor and ambiance and soccer. I highly recommend checking it out if you are a fan of good grub, soccer and great beers. read more

My husband and I recently decided to head to Ohio City and do things we hadn't done before. We have our stomping grounds we are comfortable with but as Ohio City grows it keeps bringing in more awesome places to check out. I have probably walked by TOAV numerous times but really, I am unsure why we have never stopped in before. It's a tavern and they have nice curb appeal which means I am usually 1/2 in the door already. Upon entering I was even more shocked- it's a great space. I am not sure what I was expecting but nonetheless, I like this place. We pulled up a spot at the bar and ordered some beers and also watched some of the soccer game on. I could tell this was a neighborhood bar kind of place. The bartenders knew everyone and were really friendly. Service was quick, chatty and seemed glad we were giving them our money. Definitely check out the sandwich place in the back. This place rocked my sandwich socks off! I don't even know what we got but dang was it good with my guinness. Sandwich was pricey- $13 but SO worth it. We'll be back soon! read more

Had a Friday lunch at Old Angle--the only day of the work week they are open for lunch. I had the Char-Grilled Burger--a 1/2 lb. patty with grilled onions and cheese for $10. I thought the burger was solid and filling, especially with the big bun used. The hand cut fries are about par for the course, and the plate also comes with a thimble of nondescript cole slaw. While the was food just decent, I liked the space the tavern is in: spacious with big tables and a couple of big flat panel televisions on the walls with (at the time) ESPN Sportcenter and soccer. I think the nice environment kicks Old Angle up to low three-star range--though among my recent lunch spots I actually prefer Leader Bar & Grill on Superior. read more

This bar is in a great location in Ohio City - nice chill atmosphere and so awesome with the front windows open in the summer letting in that lake breeze. Eurosports (football, rugby, etc) on the TVs is a nice touch. Employees are all super cool. They sponsored our rowing team (Thanks Alex!) Service is great too - all servers I've had here have hustled their butts off. Menu is pretty good in my opinion. Standard Irish bar fare plus creative additions. Salads, wraps, etc. all great. Even the chicken strips are not your regular over-breaded, over-fried mess. And you get 3 different sauces (choose from 5) with them. Yum. Especially liked the garlic mayo. The only thing I find weird about this place is the decor. A lot of the place reminds me of an Italian restaurant rather than and Irish pub. It's like half and half. Upholstered panels on the wall for an elevated dining area with fancier tables on one side, but regular pub-type tables in the front where the windows are. The downstairs where the bathrooms are is really really cool and dungeon-y, though and there's a private room with its own bar that seems like it could be rented out. Overall, a nice neighborhood spot with friendly service and good food. read more

One of the nicest bars in Ohio City... THE UP-SIDE: Great, semi-healthy, bar-food in a nice atmosphere. The service is always a pleasant experience. THE DOWN-SIDE: Once a week, they feature the same solo guitarist. He's not that good and his singing can really crush the great atmosphere the place has going. Try to avoid this time. THE SUM-IT-UP: A terrific place to hang out in Ohio City. You could go to the Garage across the street, but why bother? The Angle has everything you could ask for in a decent-sized corner bar. read more

We went for the World Cup, as many websites had touted that this was the "go to" spot for Soccer. We got there early and the bar was filled and all seats were filled. We were able to snatch a table for standing. By the time the game started the place was filled with no standing room left. They offered a walk up food ordering area. For the game they had a special limited menu. We had guac and chips as well as a quesadilla. The quesadilla was okay. The chips and guac were awesome. They offer many beers and Cider on tap as well as bottles. Great atmosphere for the games. read more

The concept of an Irish bar with mostly faux old-Irish decor ("stonework", big wooden castle-y doors, as well as a nifty and I believe genuine old tin ceiling) that caters especially to soccer fans in Ohio City could easily have gone horribly wrong on so many levels. Fortunately, it didn't. The Old Angle is a real nice place to spend an afternoon. Initially, we noted that the beer selection seemed a tad limited, but we figured with Guinness, Harp and Arrogant Bastard (Double Bastard too) you can't go too far wrong. My companion, the Guinness aficionado, was thrilled with how fresh the Guinness on tap was, as well as with the fact that it only cost five dollars a pint. We also noted a nice selection of whiskeys. Food was better than average pub grub. I recommend the lamb stew as being very fresh and aromatic, similar to bar food I've had in UK rather than the Dinty Moore type "stew" you usually get in the USA. Our stew and burger also came with very good bread. Wait staff was super friendly and FAST with the drinks and food. A plethora of TVs were split between football game and soccer match, while an odd mix of obscure 70s album cuts (Rundgren, Ian Hunter. Steely Dan ) played rather softly in the background, allowing for conversation. I'd expected to find much more of a soccer-club atmosphere, but it was just pleasantly social for a weekend afternoon, and much less hectic/touristy than the Great Lakes brewpub restaurant can get around the same times. The place is currently located on a slightly skeevy block at the edge of the gentrified area. Besides the Old Angle, the block contained several restaurants that currently aren't operating, and some slightly shady looking neighborhood businesses (check cashing, insurance, grocery). Fortunately, ample street and lot parking are available within a few steps of the Old Angle's entrances. It's also convenient to bus routes, especially if you're coming from points west. read more

So, my boyfriend and I were hankerin' for a brew and a burger last night and just happened to stumble on The Old Angle Tavern in Ohio City. Imagine our surprise when we stepped in, only to be greeted by not only a warm staff, but also a warm, cracklin' fire. I immediately thought the place was a delicious blend of neighborhood bar, medival inn and sports pub. Very cozy, chill and oh-so-familiar. The Indigo IMP Blond Bombshell I ordered just added to the warm glowy feeling I had about the ambiance. Admittedly, our char-burger was a little more aggressive on the "char" than we typically like. However, the Guinness Onion soup was D-E-L-E-C-T-A-B-L-E, thus proving that everything is indeed better with Guinness. The turkey chili was also quite tasty...a difficult feat when dealing with a largely bland bird. I'm going to reserve a higher star rating until I'm able to sample more of the menu. But, if first impressions count for anything, I'll be loving this place in no time flat! Stay tuned.... read more

This is one of Ohio City's great little places. Great fish n chips. Service could be a tad better but man they have good food! Im impressed. read more
