    This was my first stop upon arriving in Cleveland. It's the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat or something to drink before a football game, as it is close to the stadium. There was a DJ and the vibe was so fun. Service was quick considering we went on a game day and it was busy. I ordered a local beer and got the grilled Chick Fil A sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was super tasty. Fries were cooked to perfection. I'd definitely go back (in my Steelers gear though )

    Here's our $16 dollar pretzel, should have been 2 with different dips.  Don't waste your time or money

    If you like to spend your money and get horrible service , here's your place. You'll seat yourself, wait forever and when you order a to go and they forget it , you'll only be given half of the order. 10 people in the bar and staff to bust with guys at bar watching game to get refills or check on the 3 tables there. Take your hard earned money elsewhere , they get bad reviews for a reason.

    Cool looking establishment with great indoor and outdoor decor. We went during covid so I'm sure we didn't get the full experience. Seems like it would be a rocking and cool place pre and post covid. The service was subpar unfortunately and $6 a canned beer was the most expensive beer we ran into that Wasn't inside the Cleveland browns stadium.

    Cool place to stop in for sure and have a beer sit by a fire outside waiting on my pretty women and just great overall fun place for sure I will definitely stop by next time we are in Cleveland I didn't get a chance to try the food but we did have some beverages outside with a cool looking decor in the fall weather in the fire and everything nice

    A TALE OF TWO TOXINS: BARLEY HOUSE, CORONAVIRUS & THE STORY OF CLEVELAND'S HOSPITALITY Fears of civilization's complete and imminent collapse notwithstanding, work still insisted on sending me to Cleveland for uhm, work. Upon my arrival, it was promptly brought to my attention that every bar and restaurant would be closed indefinitely at 9pm. I figured I'd stroll to Barley House for one last romp with a normalcy. I wasn't surprised how good the food was. My buddy I was there with told me I'd be impressed, and the Thai Peanut Rice Bowl and Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers I got as an appetizer we're both very impressive. I wasn't surprised how pretty the bartenders were, having same buddy describe them to me beforehand. I couldn't of cared any less- I'm a firm believer that dolled-up, pretty barmaids do nothing more than make dummies drool and screw over guys like me that didn't care for them 15 years ago and don't take the bait. And still, this place was different. The staff here was super friendly, and not at all in a fake, just hoping to get a better tip from you kind of friendly. Before the premature closing time, two of the workers here we had befriended had ideas of other places to hang out at and invited us to come with them. Most of all, I was impressed at the positivity and patience they had demonstrated, facing an indefinite closure and loss of wages at the hands of the dreaded Wuhan Flu pandemic. I'm pretty stingy with my business, especially to chain restaurants, but I can't imagine another work trip to Cleveland without stopping by Barley House again, and neither should you.

    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.

    This place is a one stop shop for many Cleveland classics both original and vegan versions…read more My pre-trip research brought this place to my attention. I wanted to try the pierogi and the Polish boy and the KRAUT and having an extensive beer menu doesn't hurt either. Friendly neighborhood watering hole literally on the corner and basically across the street from the a Christmas story house allowing you to eat within eye sight of the leg lamp. I wanted basically everything from the menu that came vegan (spoiler alert there are tons and tons of things) but gastric space comes at a premium on vacation so we settled on the fried cheese. I was very excited to see the Polish boy (and vegan option no less) I didn't have much of a choice. GF ordered the vegan pierogi platter with vegan kielbasa on a bed of kraut. Firstly the fried cheese was head and shoulders above any mozz sticks or anything of the sort that I have had in memory. The breading is seasoned and crispy and heaven on earth. The cheese is PIPING. Like you will burn yourself if you, like me, have no patience. The accompanying tomato sauce is also steaming. So good. The Polish boy was also in a league of its own. Love that they have a vegan version. What a combo. Probably one of Cleveland's most important community contributions. We ordered the latkes to go and they were orgasmic. What a special place.

    The food here is just incredible! The perogis, avocado toast, hashbrowns and everything else we got…read morewas just above average than your usual restaurant.
