They were on the sweeter side but YUMMY! Of course we had to try the tendies and snack wraps. Both very good! The snack wraps are big so definitely shareable. Tendies are also big! I also love that the tendies come with sides and sauce! The pink ranch was good. Buffalo sauce tasted identical to Frank's Red Hot. I was not a fan of the coleslaw, I think it is the type of mayo they used that caused a strange taste, but probably just a preference issue! Service was on point and attentive. Yelp did NOT eat first because we were all hungry so I missed out on pics BUT will be back for a fun night out and snackies here! I especially want to come back to explore all of the levels and decor! Follow my Instagram for more foodie adventures! @dietz.eatz

Stopped here for drinks and a bite to eat before heading to an event. Very nice place with a…read morerelaxing atmosphere. My smoked old-fashioned was made perfectly. The wait for the food order (which was delicious) was reasonable given there was a private event happening, although it did seem the bartender was stretched a little thin, taking care of the 6-7 people at the bar, making drinks for another area, and putting glasses away from a previous shift. I had the meatballs and an Italian chopped salad, both very good. Overall, it was a nice experience.

The Ledger Bar is a small (I mean small) bar situated on the balcony that overlooks the…read moreMetropolitan at the 9's Hotel Lobby. Since the Metropolitan is home to an apartment complex, an upscale hotel, a rooftop bar, a dog park, a Pilates studio, a theater, a basement vault bar, and a "high-end" eatery, there's a whole lot of people constantly coming and going. Sitting at the four (five?) two-person tables situated right at the balcony railing means you can easily lean over and watch people come and go while sipping your drinks. Unlike the rest of the bars in the hotel, I was told there was no drink menu at the Ledger, and the bartender (who waited my table!) simply asked what flavor profile I was desiring tonight. The resulting drink he made was honestly good, and I really enjoyed it. Zero idea what was in it to ever order it again (and he was really overworked to ask!), but it was a neat experience of a "craft your own experience". There were a few beers on tap. I'm unsure about wine. Centro's food menu (restaurant downstairs) appears to be available here. There's a single unisex bathroom within steps of the bar, and the regular hotel lobby bathrooms are down a floor. As conference rooms are nearby this bar, I'd also probably guess there's a large conference room bathroom block too, but I didn't find that one. The rest of the bars and restaurants in the Metropolitan tend to take most of the attention here, and the Ledger has a much more laid-back, chill vibe. A lot of people were watching a sports game (baseball, I think?) on the TV behind me. With the smaller space and wide "open" area of the full lobby, the Ledger feels like your calmest, quietest bar option out of the available places at the Metropolitan.

Usually we sit at the bar. This time we sat at a table. Our server was great! We generally park on the street, but even when it is busy we don't have to walk far. It took us a while to get to Noble Beast because it is a little off the beaten path. We definitely waited too long. It is a perfect place to spend a few hours on a weekend afternoon.

Really cool spot if you're in Cleveland. Definitely encapsulated what Cleveland is and what they…read morebring to the table Energy is super cool once you're in there, great lighting and very kind staff as well. Devil in a blue dress was one of the best beers I've ever had. Wanted to try others on their list but I kept reordering this same beer just because of how fire it was. Food was ridiculous. Just about everything we had was mind boggling. If I had to get ONE thing, I'd probably have to go with the potatoes. Those shishito peppers, meatballs, and pork belly bites were insane. Overall, solid chance I come back to Cleveland just to show people this spot. They know what they're doing, and they do it the best.

Great neighborhood bar near Cleveland State's Campus. The bartender Tom is super kind and patient…read more 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.

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.

If you're heading to a game, do yourself a favor and stop at Whistle first. The area around the…read morestadium can get a little... let's just say "enthusiastic" a few hours before first pitch. Whistle is the perfect place to escape the chaos, kick back, grab some great food and drinks, and actually enjoy yourself before joining the crowd. The service was outstanding! Friendly, fast, and it genuinely felt like the staff wanted everyone to have a great game-day experience. Whether you're headed to a Guardians game, a Cavaliers game, or just looking for a fun place to watch sports, this place delivers. Plenty of big-screen TVs, a great atmosphere, and an easy walk to the stadium. It's the kind of place where you can meet up with friends, cheer on your favorite team, and start the fun before you even get to your seat. Whistle has officially earned a spot on my pregame tradition. I'll definitely be back!

Yelp Review #650…read more Ive been to Cleveland a bunch of times however this weekend was my first visit to the Clevelander. My wife and I were attending a Sunday afternoon Cleveland Cavs game and stopped here for a quick pint before the game. We arrived shortly after opening and were able to get a seat at the bar. Bartender quickly greeted us and was friendly. They have a fair amount of draft options. I had the Great Lakes Midwest IPA, and my wife had a Great Lakes Conway Irish Red. Bar got fairly busy before we left. A woman next to us ordered a burger which looked fantastic (no frozen premade patty), so I might have to get food during my next visit. This is a great pregame spot before a Cavs or Guardians game, or even if you are in the general vicinity.

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.
