Pretty hidden, but the service was great and it was dark and romantic. They had a nice patio outside that you walk through when coming in and bar seating table top seating and chair seating inside. The drink menu rotate seasonally, and the pies are made fresh in the kitchen. They do not have a parking lot, but street parking is available around the corner. read more

I would round up to 3.5 but just had a few things that didn't quite live up to the hype! My drink was really good, and it was really really nice to get welcome shots for our first visit. Unfortunately, some of my friends did not love their drinks. We also ordered guac which was fine, nothing special and we ran out of chips pretty fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great but the inside, while super cool and unique, doesn't necessarily nail the same vibe as the menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also wish they printed out menus since they do put so much work into designing them. read more

Amazonia - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazonia is not a place that screams, "I'm here!" Like most bars and restaurants on Detroit or Madison. It's tucked away and even the entrance seems like a side door. I like the hidden aspect of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat at the bar for one drink and their staff can make a cocktail! Not only were they delicious, but the one cocktail a friend had with cinnamon was lit on fire and it sparked twice when the bartender held a lighter to it. Pleasant surprise! read more

Amazonia - Dessert - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I love this place and am already plotting my return. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Possibly the most beautiful bathroom I have ever been in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's not big so I would recommend a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love how true they kept the old house.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The between the charm and the mysterious tropical was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have 5 contrails between us and all were delicious. Our server was very helpful in choosing. The pizza was the real winner. I know it sounds weird but holy cow! The best crusty chewy flavorful crust fantastic red sauce and the non traditional mushroom one was also outstanding. The meat was good and cooked well but that sauce is no joke! Very spicy. read more

I visited Amazonia last night with some friends and this was my first time at Amazonia. The building is setup so that you enter through the patio as the front doors are exit only / emergency type doors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was really great and this would be a great place for a romantic date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room was low light and while we would have preferred to sit on the patio it wasn't an option because we made a reservation short notice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server brought us a round of complimentary shots which were amazing. I will say that the first round of drinks we ordered took about 15 minutes which the Caesar salad and meatballs came out at the same time as the drinks. The meatballs were extremely dry and over done. I wanted to order the Fuego Fantasma, but unfortunately it was unavailable. I ended up ordering an El Jimador Reposado and soda. It was $15 for a 2 oz pour which for a well tequila. The other thing that bothered me is the portable payment POS they hand you after you pay with a card the suggested gratuity options were 25%, 30% or 35%. Which I generally do tip around 25% traditional suggest gratuity is generally 18% to 20%. read more

Came here for a bday dinner celebration with friends and coworkers. I made a reservation beforehand and that was easy to do online. I would not recommend going without a reservation because this place was annoyingly PACKED. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was tucked behind Hola Tacos and you will definitely miss it like we did because there is no signage until up close and no other indication unless you already knew where it was...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a small, cramped house and while I liked the room upstairs we were seated in, I would've liked to see more of the place itself without feeling like I was interrupting intimate sessions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say the decor, ambiance and style touches were interesting, pretty and NOT tacky (like Tiki Underground was).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They treated the 4 of us to a free shot to get the night started which was very appreciated! My friend ordered one of only 2 mocktails, Coconut Song, which was very good but small, mostly ice and pretty pricey. Please make more mocktails for those of us who are either weak or allergic! My other friend ordered something that he really liked so that was good. As for food, I thought some were hits and some were misses. The steak skewers were excellent and the juiciest, tenderest but also best seasoned steak pieces! The guava cheese bites were called "skewers" but in actuality, just tiny toothpick bites! What a travesty at what they were priced! Taste was great but more of a dessert! I tried a bite of the chorizo and cheesy potatoes dish and thought the sausage was dry and not as spiced. I didn't try the chicken tinga flatbread everyone else ordered but it looked dry AF and so bland with no sauce. I got the chocolate lava cake and it had beautiful presentation but such middling taste. It was nice that they gave that to me free for my birthday so brownie points scored (literally). My one friend ordered their berry gelato and said it was great. It looked pretty as well. Their Google online menus don't match their website menu so beware! We also ordered their trio of tacos and even asked the server what the spice level is. My one friend is intolerant to spiciness (and fun--JK!) and our server assured us it wasn't a spicy dish. Then I tasted it and thought it was actually medium spicy, so homie lied to us! The tacos were also very flat and not filled to the brim like the ones others got. I also didn't taste any of the slaw it said it had and there were no other veggies. Not a fan. I think I would come back during happy hour (if I could ever make it one of these days) but not sure if I would otherwise. Glad I tried this place though! It had been on my CLE bucketlist this year! read more

Bought some colleagues here for dinner and drinks while they were in town, This experience was not as great as my first visit. Our waiter Carlo was excellent. He was kind and understanding. This was my first time sitting upstairs and the vibes were great. They have two different rooms upstairs. One is the sun room, which is lit by beautiful natural sunlight from the windows. The other side of the floor was more dark and moody, similar to the downstairs seating area and bar where you enter. The cocktails were excellent. I think there were a few changes since my last visit, but they were all complex and delicious. I got the Blood Moon Rising, which had Cachaca infused with Colombian coffee and cacao nibs. It was giving chocolate coffee vibes. The problem this time was the food. We shared the chips and guacamole, which was good. We also tried the guava, cheese, and fruit skewers. They were very different but I really enjoyed it. The sweetness of the guava and saltiness of the cheese with the hot honey was a cool combo. I got the champignon pizza which had mushroom cream, mozzarella, arugula, and parmesan. It was tasty and I loved that it was wood fired. One of my colleagues got the pistachio pizza. It came out like pizza soup. Too much sauce and then just a ton of pistachios on top. The crust was completely soggy. Luckily, we told Carlo and he was able to get it remade. My other colleague didn't enjoy her birria tacos. They didn't come with any cosume and she mentioned that they were dry. Overall, still a great spot for cocktails and good vibes, but with the limited menu and a few misses, the food was not the highlight this go around. read more

Amazonia is easily my favorite dining experience in Cleveland. I could write a book about how much I love it, but I'll limit myself to this review. I visited Amazonia twice so far, both top notch experiences. I plan to be back a million more times. My first visit was for a surprise birthday party. We dined in the upstairs moon room with a large group. The manager and the staff really participated in the event like it was like their own friend's birthday. From our initial reservation to the day of the event we felt so supported. We were treated like the most cherished guests at the restaurant. Everyone in our party got pizzas. I got Blood Moon Rising cocktail (with cacao!) and pistachio pizza. Both were excellent! Everyone in our group was raving about pizzas! My second visit was for Mother's Day for sound journey on the patio. I found it very easy to book a table on OpenTable and even change my reservation. We ordered pistachio pizza, ribeye burger sliders, and tacos. All were excellent, tacos so juicy! We also ordered beer, Heads Will Roll, and Emerald Tree Boa. Drinks were delicious and very well crafted. My parents loved the experience! Sound Journey was so beautiful! Service was absolutely amazing - quick, efficient, very warm and friendly. We were checked on many times and got our orders almost immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as the vibes, Amazonia really transports you to the Amazon in so many ways. Cocktails are crafted with care, unique ingredients, and stories about the Amazon and Latin Culture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sound journeys transport you somewhere warm and tropical.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the rooms, the rooms of the restaurant are art! Outdoor you have boho tropics on the patio. Indoor you'll find light sun room with sun projections, and moon room that feels like a jungle after hours. It's such an immersive experience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can literally read their menu all day long like a storybook about Latin culture. I just love the concept and execution! One thing to note to any guests is that Amazonia can be hard to find. You can find it in gray-ish house next to Hola Tacos. You will enter through the patio. Plan for extra time to find a good street parking spot. I can't wait for more positive experiences and good memories at Amazonia! I'll be back very soon to try more cocktails and venture out to try some other pizza! I very highly recommend this restaurant for your special occasions or dates. read more

Met a friend for dinner at Amazonia for dinner a few weeks ago. I had no idea there was something nestled in the back of that lot but there it was! It was mid week so we were seated without a reservation but it seems like a weekend night would have needed one. The downstairs has a speakeasy vibe with lots of seats at the bar. We went upstairs... and it was a completely different vibe. Still nice but not really speakeasy... I got the jungle guardian cocktail and my friend had a beer. It's a good cocktail but I honestly ordered it because it says there's a chicharrone served with the drink and none was to be seen on the two that I received. Bummer. We had to try the pistachio pizza since it's the specialty. It's a good pizza. Not sure we tasted much pistachio but we did eat the whole thing! It was a fun restaurant to try but definitely stay downstairs for the speakeasy feel. The service was lovely. read more

I have been wanting to come here since they opened and I finally was able to stop in. This is such a great spot. The entrance is around back and kind of hidden. It's a converted duplex into a small bar/restaurant. It is all about the aesthetic. I love the decor. The vibe is warm and inviting but also kind of moody. We went at night so was dark as they have small lamps on each table. A friend and I went on a Tuesday night which is 1/2 price pizzas. I had the burrata pizza. It was excellent. The crust was fluffy and chewy (but in a good way). It's topped with prosciutto, burrata, fresh garlic, and balsamic. It was delicious but I do think it was missing basil. To drink I had the "Jungle Guardian" which was a mezcal based beverage. This particular was made for sipping. I was not what I expected but it was very good. I do believe their drink menu changes with the season. I'd like to go back and try other cocktails. We had excellent service. Gary, our waiter, was very helpful - helping us pick out what drink would suit us best and making sure we enjoyed it. I will definitely be returning! read more

Quaint, homey bar with excellent menu. Tucked away in a converted house Amazonia is inviting with an excellent wait staff and delicious menu in the heart of Lakewood. We walked over to Amazonia after purchasing a wedding dress for a family member. You get a FREE bottle of champagne with purchase! In an addition we ordered a few appetizers and sandwiches. The ceviche and guacamole were so fresh and full of flavor. Ambiance was on point, the homey vibe was inviting and once spring had sprung we will be back to take advantage of the backyard. read more

Today is just one of those 5 days! I had a family member wanting to take me out to celebrate. I had no idea what I wanted to do. I just wanted to stay home than go to to a familiar restaurant. I can do that any day. I remembered a place someone recommended, when I looked it up it was closed on Sunday. So I said you know what, I would be happy with , but it had to be some where special that everyone would enjoy. I found Amazonia when searching. It sounded Amazing! They had signature cocktails on the menu for those who drink, specialty pizzas and small plates. I made a reservation and I was so excited they would have a live band. When we arrived it was a Taco Place!! I had to get out of the car and ask where is Amazonia. She said, it's a Speakeasy, go through this door and it's in the back. I went and got the rest of the guests. We were greeted by Luis, what a warm happy welcome. We sat at our table an I was so intrigued with everything. I ordered Margherita Cheese Pizza with sauce and basil, people in our party ordered small plates, tacos, salads, we had signature drinks and desserts. They also catered to two people who had food allergies. The food was amazing and we were all so happy with everything. Kyle - You were amazing and we Thank you for such a great experience. He said we could tour the second floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had like a dark Amazon theme on one side, Super Romantic I would say and a Sun side a bright colorful room. Love, love, loved it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As we walked outside and in front of the band, people were dancing Latin music and I just joined right in. Even one of our group went up and danced as well. She was so happy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . read more

Wow, this place is something else. Let me paint a picture for you.. An unassuming home off a neighborhood street in Lakewood. It takes you a minute to determine which house it is and when you do you find an adorable boho-ish patio with string lights, mirrors, heaters (on a chilly day), and plenty of greenery. When you eventually make it to the main entrance (in the very back), you open the door to find a dark and romantic bar area. A host greets you and takes you to one of their beautiful dining areas. You find the sun room, or the golden hour room, upstairs with a ton of natural light, that gives off a whimsical feel. The next room you find is moody and enchanting, perfect for a date night. It's cool how each room has a different vibe. They clearly put in a lot of work. Now that you know the setting, it's on to the food, drinks, and service. For starters, our server Carlo was outstanding. Carlo was attentive, answered all of our questions (and we're a very curious crew), and made sure we were taken care of. My group started with cocktails. The menu is detailed, creative, and reminds me of a tiki bar menu, but instead a sexy, classy jungle bar menu. I went with the pink river dolphin. Hibiscus flavored vokda, yuzu, rosewater, vanilla, dragon fruit syrup, and egg whites make it frothy and colorful. Everyone at my table enjoyed what they picked out. They even made a mocktail options for one of us. As for food, their menu is limited and includes mainly pizza and appetizers. My group shared the chips and guacamole, which was delicious. We also tried the guava, cheese, and fruit skewers, which were... interesting. As for mains, I went with the pistachio pizza. It came with red onions, fresh herbs, mozzarella, and pistachios on top. When I took my very first bite I immediately noticed how soggy it was. I honestly couldn't eat it. Thankfully, Carlo brought me another one and it was 100 times better. Much appreciated. Overall, I gotta give a four out of five stars mainly because the food wasn't as impressive as I had hoped. I would come back any day to sip on one of their beautiful cocktails, but I'll be weary of what food I try next. read more

Amazonia has made it to Yelp's Top 25 Places to Eat in Cleveland. Love the vibes of the spot, it's a house that's been converted into a restaurant with lots of cool spaces to dine in. From the moody Moon Room, a dimly lit romantic space, to the Sunroom, which is nice and bright. They are also gearing up for spring, and the patio looks like it will be a great spot too. I think it's a great place for drinks, and our server was really attentive. The drinks are interesting and tasty as well. I ordered the Emerald Tree Boa, which includes ingredients like housemade green juice, coconut water, chlorophyll, banana leaf, orange blossom syrup, and tequila. However, I've been spoiled by living in Toronto and having high expectations based on first impression, I found the food a bit disappointing and limited in selection - mostly pizzas. I ordered birria tacos, but the brisket was super dry, even though it was topped with a saucey slaw. It also didn't come with consomme, which I'm used to with birria tacos. It was just strange, there was a lot of slaw, but the meat tasted dry and unflavourful. My colleague also found her pizza completely limp and not good, so she sent it back, and they made a new one for her, which was much better. The other two pizzas (burrata and mushroom) that came out for my colleagues, they said were good--no complaints. So, based on that, it seems like about 50% of us had an issue with our main. Guac was great though the chip to guac ratio is really off so little chips to the amount of guac but they happily brought out more chips when we asked for more. We also had these interesting skewers with Chontaduro (fruit from Central/South America) and cheese combo. Love that I gotta try something new and exotic though I wouldn't say I would want another one. I'll say definitely a place for drinks but the food options could be better (at least from the birria tacos I've tried...) read more

A close friend of mine & I visited for the 1st time last night & were totally dazzled! How absolutely charming! Tucked away in a formerly residential house...you definitely have to be looking closely for the small neon signage on the back side of the house. Upon entering, it's romantically lit for perfect ambience. A beautiful bar is the first thing you see, with tables more towards the back. Unique decor and fun music surround you. There is even a 2nd floor with 2 different sides upstairs! So lovely! We ordered their guacamole , mushroom soup, & spicy salami pizza. All 3 were delicious! Our cocktails, seen in the photo, were expertly crafted. Highly recommend the Blood Moon Rising! If you're planning a romantic, ambient evening, book a table here, you'll be so glad you did! Additionally, our server Carlo was an absolute doll! read more

Amazonia - Blood Moon Rising & Pink Dolphin cocktails were exceptional!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Well, I cannot comment on the good at this restaurant because I've never actually been able to go there. I have tried a couple times to arrange for my book club to go to Amazonia and I can't tell you how unreceptive they were to the idea. I was told I couldn't make a reservation for more than eight. Then I was told I had to talk to the manager. Then I was told I had to send an email. And in the end, they told me that they did send me an email which I never received. I was finally told that I would have to put down $100 deposit to bring that many people and I just got a feeling they weren't really interested in our business. I may try it again when there's just two of us. They must be doing really well to turn away business read more

Delicious eccentric cocktails. Only downside is they are all pre batched so no customization like lower sugar (no simple syrup) for people like me with diabetes. Delightful menu with great shareable appetizers like ceviche and dry but flavorful chicken skewers and pizzas. Peruvian Amazon theme with club music later ~830pm. Open super late til 2am. Beautiful place in a two story house with lots of alcoves for a nice quiet conversation. read more

Ah yes, another gem in Lakewood. I visited Amazonia on a Saturday at 5:30pm with a friend. I was happy to snag a reservation the same day because all of the time slots between 5:30pm - 9:30pm were already secured. Generally a very good sign. I received a text 7 minutes before our reservation time advising that our table was ready and to reply if we were on the way. I over complicated things by second guessing my GPS when it told me I had arrived. If you're in front of a house on Hopkins St. towards the Madison intersection, then you're in the right place. Simply walk around the back (through the outdoor patio, which I would love to visit when the weather allows) and it is there that you will see an Amazonia sign. There are no giveaways on the front of the house whatsoever, so a true speakeasy vibe. I did notice that the porch has an electrical wheelchair ramp at the front of the house so 10 stars for accessibility, because there are a few stairs to get in the main entrance. There is not much space to stand upon arriving, as the host stand is immediately to your right and the bar is directly in front of you. It's tight but not uncomfortable. My friend and I were seated promptly and immediately settled into the vibe. I especially loved the lighting because it was moody and vibey without being too dark. I ordered two Palomas so I can't account for the craft cocktails just yet. We shared the ceviche, margarita pizza, and guacamole. The ceviche stole the show easily and the pizza was a solid second. There are no desserts so plan to indulge your sweet tooth elsewhere. Heads up that the tables are smidge small so you may want to ask for your selections to be sent to the kitchen a bit apart so there's enough space to enjoy without being overcrowded. Our server was lovely, and even managed to gently advise when we reached our 2 hour table limit. Completely understandable! I shall indeed be back soon. Very nice treat to have Amazonia right here in our Lakewood backyard. read more

I'm a huge fan of the vibe of cocktail bars and speakeasies, so I knew me and my ladies would have to stop by. The drinks were picturesque, the space was dark and moody in a pleasant way and Tuesday is half price pizza night (bonus!).

Wow, what a night! First time visiting Amazonia and let me tell you, it was an awesome night! There is an eclectic drink menu, not only visually appealing but they taste great as well. What is really unique about the ambiance is the dim lighting (very romantic!) & the fact that this restaurant is actually an old Lakewood home! So unique. The downside is the menu is all small plates, so if you're hungry you may need to order 2 plate to be full like I did. Would love to see larger plates, however I suppose small plates are this place's vibe and I'm cool with that. Would recommend for a night out with friends or a cute date night.

We walked in on a Monday around 5:30pm and it was pretty empty. We got seated right away and ordered some cocktails and food. We started off with the Glory and gold for me and the witch doctor for my husband. Both drinks were decent, but I think could have been better balanced. We also got the mushroom pizza which was surprisingly the highlight and the ceviche which was standard. We got a second round of drinks including the blood moon rising and pink river dolphin and the pistachio pizza. It was good but nothing special. I think the cocktails were a little disappointing for a cocktail bar but their house made Neapolitan style pizza was surprisingly the star. Overall 3/5 read more

Was so excited to see this new trendy cocktail bar/restaurant! Came on a Friday night and even though they were busy, it was super easy to make a reservation the day before with plenty of spots open. There is street parking and hola tacos has some parking too. I surprisingly really enjoyed the pizza! Love the wood fried crust and fun fact I believe the owner or chef actually went to Italy to learn how to perfect pizza! The cocktails were yummy and I love the menu descriptions of the story behind the cocktails. The ants for the "heart of the rainforest" is fun to try and has a teeny crunch but they're also soaked in honey so it didn't taste bad for how daunting as it looked. Cool place to check out for a dark comfy ambiance! read more

With the jungle speakeasy vibes, Amazonia is a hidden gem of Lakewood for sure. You enter the establishment and are instantly transported to a new world. It's dimly lit with red mood lighting and along with R&B/lounge background tunes, there are soft animal and cricket noises that make you feel like you're actually in the jungle! The ground level has more bar and lounge style seating, while the upstairs has table seating. We came on a Saturday night and had rounds of drinks - smoke signals & cactus flower were our selections. Each was tasty, unique in flavor, and very spirit forward. To eat, we had the margherita pizza, tacos and tostadas. The food hot and well prepared and service was quick. Our server Daniel took great care of us all night! Come for the vibes, stay for the food, drinks and great atmosphere!!
