BEST DIVE EVER 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. read more

Food was awesome. We got it to go and it was still good I can't complain. However I can complain on the customer service it wasn't the best and it took a 45mins to get our to go order. Even though we ordered to go we sat at the bar wasn't asked if we wanted to order drinks or like some water while we wait. read more

Great service from bartender and even gave me advice on the city . Food was pretty good and the portions were great!

Every time I go here, they are out of chicken. It can't be that hard to just order more chicken. Will not be back, unless I hear they finally figured out their chicken cock-up. read more

Definitely a dive bar. Not a "classy or upscale" establishment. Parking is limited. BUT, drinks are cheap, well made, and the food is classic fried inexpensive "bar food". This is a place for locals who don't want to dress up and pay high prices for cocktails downtown. We go here during home games at CSU and order cheap pitchers of beer to share and get excellent treatment by the staff. They really love having CSU students and families come in. read more

Becky's - Bar area - Dive Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I was a frequent patron of Becky's when I worked downtown and knew Tim (Owner) personally. I was informed by Ivy that Tim was semi-retired. At that time I discussed with Ivy 2 - 3 weeks ahead of time that I wanted to reserve a place for 15 - 20 people for food and drinks as we were meeting to have a toast in memory of our previous employer that had past away. I emailed and texted her before the event and received no response after our initial contact. I got there 45 min early only to find Ivy didn't notify her staff of our upcoming arrival and they were totally unprepared. We could not get anyone to come over to our area to take drink and food orders. There was in fact an early Guardians game but there wasn't a big crowd at all. I thought since I had notified her previously that she would have staff that would be able to take care of our group. Staff had to call her several times before she answered. They were totally unprepared and after texting & emailing her my disappointment I received a damage control response from Ivy where she stated we had 50 people which was not true at all. I have received much better service back in the day here and I will never return there. read more

Excellent wings, burgers, chili,and chicken salad. Drinks delicious ! Beers good and cold ! Great experience overall!

I had the best Turkey grinder in my life here last week! Smoked Turkey is the key. Add Swiss, lettuce, tomato, onion and Mayo, then add cole slaw and YUM! The best! read more

In town for The Rolling Stones concert. Came across Becky's and was NOT disappointed from the Guinness to the dirty martinis, Excellent wings, burgers and I had the chicken salad BLT which was amazing!The food was top-notch. Kevin made a mean dirty martini!! Highly recommend stopping here!!! read more

This place never misses! The wings are always good and the fish is always hot. Always make it a point to stop by when here.

My partner and I used to come in regularly, they always had solid made to order burgers. However the last 2-3 times we have came in there has been an issue. Yesterday was the last straw, we ordered our usual burgers and when it came out they had cut the patty in half and served it to us. Actually crazy. I let the bartender know but at that point we had already been waiting an hour and just wanted to leave. Too bad this place took such a nosedive read more

Becky's - Half of a burger???? - Dive Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I have great college memories here. Personally I think they should've kept the stage up for performances. I was devastated when they got rid of karaoke night :( If the owner of Becky's is reading this I will pay good money to have karaoke back at least once a month. Corky's sucks. read more

Dive bar Like many others on here, I was looking for a place after a day of meetings where I didn't have to get all dressed up or run the possibility of meeting people I had just seen. Becky's fit the bill perfectly. Sometimes you just want to unwind with a cocktail and some decent grub and review the day - this is the perfect place for doing just that. Food was solid bar grub with a lot of your fried goodies and some very decent burgers. The crowd is a mixed bag of locals and some visitors from the nearby hotels. To say the crowd is eclectic is an understatement. One of my favorite things about being out is people watching and this place delivered in spades. There were some interesting peeps there the times I have been in there - couples, co-workers and the completely insane were all represented. There is a random jukebox that tosses on tunes every "x" amount of minutes and there are plenty of TV's at the bar so you can keep an eye on the happenings of the day. Bartenders are decent and seemingly know when to give you more or less attention - perfect. Prices are cheap - the interior is nothing to brag about and the bar is large with plenty of seats. All in all a good place to hide out and grab a cocktail. Plenty of people to interact with - or not. Parking lot is on the miniscule side - so it is probably easier to just walk over from the hotels (at least in the warmer months). read more

I got a cheeseburger with bacon and mushrooms and it was delicious! I could do without the chips next time I will probably get fries. I also got six wings in the mild sauce. I will get them again but may be a different sauce. I will definitely eat here again read more

I stopped in for lunch and ordered the jerk wings to start. They were excellent. I ordered the steak sandwich with fresh cut fries as my meal. The sandwich was very good and the fresh cut fries put the meal over the top for me. I will be back again for sure. read more

On multiple visits this was an acceptable dive bar. One professional bartender kept me coming back. Wish I could remember her name. Very outgoing and a great multitasker. But one unprofessional bartender has forced me to seek out other neighborhood dive bars. You cannot employ people who expect to be pre-tipped for sub par service. They need to find another line of work, maybe government where you are paid whether you do the job or not. I work hard for my money, you should too if you want some of it. Sadly mediocrity is becoming the norm in the service industry post-Covid. Sorry Becky it's time for me to move on. read more

I've passed this bar everyday for the past two years of living in Cleveland! One night I really wanted wings, one of those pregnancy cravings. My co-worker always spoke about Becky's but I never sent it was a bar and I didn't wanna go pregnant but thank God for late night cravings! I discovered the best wings I've had thus far and an amazing burger (cravings) ! The Caribbean jerk will have you thinking your beach side it was delicious! Safe to say I had late night cravings for Becky's for about two weeks after my first encounter! 10 outta 10!! Go to Becky's now!! read more

Showed up late after a show and had a great meal. Fantastic burgers, fries, and onion rings.

It's a dive, but a nice dive. The scary bathrooms are quickly forgotten after you taste the incredible potato skins. I was in shock and they even say on a bed of real sliced homemade potato chips. Truly amazing. And the prices are super low. It started off about 330 very quiet. But by 5pm the place was full and people were really enjoying themselves. The bartender gal was wearing a "showyourtatas" shirt and was getting some chuckles. read more

Good spot for a quick dinner before a performance at Playhouse Square. No frills but good food and good drinks at reasonable prices. And the salads are huge!! read more

Great hidden bar food . The Becky burger is delicious.. I love the chips and drinks here . Service is excellent..

If it wasn't for Jamie I wouldn't be here! Give her a raise! Top notch service and amazing customer service! So good job on adding her to the roaster. Never been here before but will be back. Side note though why do they have all the hip hop artist block on the jukebox, low key feels like you don't want black people but we coming regardless!!!!! read more

Stopped by Becky's on my lunch hour. Great dive bar atmosphere, cool staff, and awesome burgers. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth your time. Prices aren't too bad, and if you're here for happy hour then you can't beat em. Also a lot of people have complained about parking. This close to downtown, expect to use a meter. Becky's also has its own lot, so frankly there isn't much to complain about. read more

Awesome bloody mary and great atmosphere. Parking kind sucks, but you can park on the street. The bartender was really friendly!!

Ok. I couldn't in good conscious give Becky's a five star review, even though it is my favorite bar in Cleveland. I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into. It's the diviest of dive bars in the Cleveland area, while still having a food menu that excels into the realm of excellent bar and grill food. I love the community of the place. It's easy to feel at home. Especially if you go to Cleveland State, this is your new hang out.. Your welcome. read more

Recently arrived from los angeles for work. As a nightlife professional, i was looking for a low key dive bar to unwind after a long day. Read the yelp and google reviews, and it seemed like it might be a good match for me! The food... I've eaten wings all over the country and i take my wings seriously. The carribbean jerk and medium buffalo wings-- easily top 10 in the country! Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and juicy!! Not a single dry wing in any orders I've placed. Kudos to the Chef! Drinks... Many, many local beers in cans, bottles, and tap. And, they had a local spirit-- a honey locust bourbon that was amazing. Very complex flavor and smooth. Service... Patrick and David couldn't be more accommodating! They assisted me in my dinner selections, and gave me great beer choices as well. Hospitality was beyond welcoming and appreciated. Ivey, the manager, was helpful in explaining the city to me. Venue is clean. Bathrooms were clean. And the crowd was a great mix of business people, locals, nurses, and laborers. Everyone was friendly and social. read more

Bad service. The bartender looked like he couldn't handle his job and it wasn't busy by any stretch of the imagination. Won't be going back.

Great dive bar. Undergrad at CSU, we used to roll over here after SGA meetings and the beer and chicken wings flowed like water. Well, the chicken wings didn't actually flow, but you get the idea. The last time I was here, I couldn't drive myself home. Sometimes it kind of sneaks up on you when your glass is never empty... read more

Love this place. I've been coming here on and off for 30 years. Great cheap bar food. Great drinks! You will not be disappointed if you eat here. Before theatre or after theatre... or just because your in the neighborhood. You can park in their lot. And then hang out for a bit. Honestly good food. All types of people. Great way to hang out and see what's up around the CLE. read more

Best dive bar in Cleveland by far. The drinks are priced great, food is amazing, and service is always great everytime I'm there. The staff works extremely hard to make sure all the customers have everything they need. The only thing they need to add is a cocktail menu. Make sure you try their wings, potato skins and whatever soup they have... they're all amazing. read more

The last neighborhood spot in the neighborhood. Services outer downtown, midtown, asiatown and campus district. Somehow not packed with college students? Late food, great drinks, interesting conversation, diverse array of characters. read more

Here's the thing about Becky's. The service isn't great. Maybe the worst in Cleveland. But I'll be here at least twice weekly because the drinks are cheap and they're open late. Stick with the Becky Burger and Tots. Don't get the Pierogis whatever you do. The last time I did, there was a lot of throwing up the next day. read more

Downtown for my daughters softball game at CSU and we stopped at Becky's for lunch and drinks.the free parking is nice. I had soup and salad, the small salad was huge. My husband enjoyed his burger. The drinks were strong and service was attentive. read more

Amazing food, music, people, service and inexpensive drinks. The bar manager (Amber?) is extremely hands on...rumored she stays in a room in the rafters to handle any complaints. The best Cleveland dive(ish) bar around! Kevin read more

This is a great local dive for small groups of less than 6 people. I took a group of 18 folks to dinner here and we waited an hour for our appetizers. Not cool. However, I've been here for a late dinner with 4 folks and the food came out super quick. The food is very good here and well priced! Drinks and bartenders are wonderful. A great place to connect with local folks. read more
