The Warehouse District has a new upscale spot in town! Recently opening during NBA Allstar weekend…read morein CLE, it has already had the presence of many celebrities come through their doors. The setup has a wow factor as you enter the basement level of the building through a tunnel covered in plants and leading straight to your first photo opp! The circle with pink bench is a cute preview of what's inside. Once you check in with the hostess, enter through a door and welcome to the social club. Beautiful decor that mixes a level of sophistication with a little drama as you see the bright lights. Plenty of seating and even a private room that can be rented out. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is friendly! The menu offers a mix of unique cocktails (and can be made as mocktail a too) and small bites. Upon recommendation, I tried the F.W. Marg drink. So good! The most unique aspect is the watermelon ice cube. As it melts the drink flavor changes. Creative & fun way to enjoy a cocktail. They open at 5pm, which would be a great spot for chill happy hour. Later in the evening, you'll experience more of a lounge/club vibe. Great edition to downtown CLE!

We hosted a Young Professional networking event here, which was new for me because typically I only…read morefind myself arriving late on a weekend. I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!

We recently tried Velvet Tango Room for the first time and we walked in immediately impressed. Well…read morestaffed, dim lighting, and cozy cocktail tables and bar. I had a margarita and an espresso martini and both cocktails exceeded my expectations! The lime margarita was classic, slightly tart, and made me want another. The espresso martini was enjoyed by all - very smooth, full of flavor without making you feel full like some do because of too much cream, I assume. The space is cool, speak easy vibes, and the gentleman playing the piano was a nice tough with an ideal volume.

There was a live jazz pianist in every room. The ambiance was great. Keep in mind they don't have dinner food, just bar snacks, so don't come expecting a meal. The drinks were definitely pricey, especially for Cleveland (~$20 per drink, give or take), so I don't plan on coming frequently, but it's a fun spot for a night out.

Fun atmosphere and a good find. My friend and I had a wonderful time here. The drinks were…read moredelicious! A bit pricey though, so be warned. My drink was almost $20. Also, the menu makes it sound like the drinks will be a little showy. For example, the drink I ordered said it would be poured out of a Bible. It was called "the blessing." And my friend's was supposed to be served in a piggy bank. And other drinks say they will be served in pineapples, have a fire element, etc. Which sounded super fun! However, it must have just been part of the speakeasy bit? Our drinks were normal cocktails served in normal cocktail glasses. A bit disappointing, so be warned if you are like us and were expecting some razzle dazzle!

I'll be returning here again.

Didn't know the Kings and Queens had been bought out. So we went to kick it after the kick it here…read moreto try it out. So the band is the only plus of the night as it was a live band and they were jamming. There was a person behind the bar serving attitude and cuss words only. I would call her a bartender but bartenders know how to make mixed drinks and pour shots etc. And she made it clear that she wasn't doing any of that. The owner was too busy holding a table listening to the band then to help his person behind the bar. And lastly the place closed at 12 or 1 but the kitchen closed at 10. Much improvements need to be made in the service/staff and functionality of the room. You can't have one person behind the bar on the weekend. Especially if you're gonna have live music but no where to sit because the "VIP" section is blocking a lot of the room.

Pacific East in Kent is one of my all time favorite sushi spots. The fish always tastes so fresh…read morewhich is one of the reasons I love this spot so much. I always get the rainbow roll because I know that I can count on loving it and then I always get another roll that changes depending on what I am craving. This time I got the Manhattan roll which was soooooo good. On the inside, it has spicy shrimp. On the outside, it has avocado and this creamy lobster sauce which was my favorite part. I highly recommend trying the Manhattan whenever you get a chance to try this spot. I usually order for pick up but whenever I eat there, the servers are always super kind and efficient. The food also never takes long. Whenever I pick up my order, the people at the counter are always super kind as well, and they have my order waiting on the table beside them. Overall, it's a great spot if you are looking for a sushi place that isn't super upscale, but more cozy and a great local gem!
