Be prepared to be whisked off into a journey of literary libations when you come to cloak and dagger , a delightfully dark den in tremont! I highly recommend you look through their website and videos to appreciate how much care and creativity went into the making of this establishment. Their cocktail menu changes periodically with different interwoven themes. The current menu "whiskey bent and hellbound " is a tribute to the old west, and comes as a little book you can peruse, peppered with some interesting history and quotes. And please partake in the all vegan menu: we really enjoyed the pierogies, prairie bloom tomatoes and house dip. I really enjoyed the presentations, but the libations themselves started to blend into one another in terms of flavors and ingredients. Service was on point. While the experience as a whole was grand, we did not realize there was a time limit to our reservation and were asked to vacate our table, although toward the end of our meal anyway. So just be aware.
If I lived in Cleveland, I'm convinced this would be my second home. From the moment we walked in, everything about this place felt like it was created with intention -- the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, the cocktail list was imaginative and playful, and the entire menu was a dream for anyone who loves elevated, creative vegan dining. We started with "snackeries" (adorable baby daiquiris) that set the tone perfectly: fun, clever, and delicious. Each dish that followed was layered with flavor, texture, and thoughtfulness -- the kind of food that makes you slow down and appreciate every bite. Not a single plate disappointed, which is rare even at the best restaurants. This isn't just "good vegan food." It's simply excellent food that happens to be vegan. The atmosphere is moody and intimate in the best way -- dim lighting, stylish interiors, and a hum that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto one of the city's best-kept secrets. The staff only add to that energy, striking the perfect balance between professional and genuinely friendly. And let's not forget one of the most underrated perks: free street parking right outside, which in any city is practically gold. We didn't have a reservation and lucked into seats at the bar (my preferred choice anyway). From that vantage point, we got to watch the bartenders work their magic, and it only enhanced the experience. Their cocktails aren't just drinks -- they're little works of art, and each one felt just as thoughtfully crafted as the food. This is one of those rare places I almost don't want to review because I selfishly want to keep it a secret. It's unique, unforgettable, and already has me planning a return trip to Cleveland just to sit at that bar again. Do yourself a favor: don't miss this gem.
This cocktail bar was able to seat us without a reservation. The drinks were all incredible (do note that they change their menu up every 2-3 months). This current menu is designed as a DND campaign where you can drink and play with friends through the entire menu. I got the Heretics cocktail which is tequila based and it was herbaceous and delicious.
While home for the holidays my childhood best friend kidnapped me and took me to finally check out Cloak & Dagger. I was super excited to go because last year our plans fell through. Anyway, I loved the casual and relaxed vibe, it was moody with the lighting and decor, which I I also loved. Our server was so nice and dealt with my interrogation regarding their drinks, and which weren't sugar bombs. I was not disappointed with my choice. I had two of the Queen of Thorns cocktails, yes two, and I regret nothing. Strong, boozy, not sweet at all but so delicious. I also tried their Children of the North aka Pierogis - would absolutely recommend. This is a cocktail lounge, so their plates are small but Cloak & Dagger is perfect for drinks and ordering some small plates to feed the alcohol. Will absolutely be visiting this one again when I come back into town.
From the lighting to the drink names to the exception service. Cloak and Dagger has some of the best cocktails in Cleveland.
Ugh! This place is either great or horrible! It was horrible this time. They sat us at the worst table again after we confirmed a reservation for a special occasion. The hostess was on the phone when we arrived. We weren't given the table we requested in our reservation but the absolute worst table that was broken and by the bathroom. She wasn't very apologetic. It was a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday and the place wasn't packed. We told we would be asked to leave promptly at 7pm. The food was average and came out so fast I couldn't even enjoy my drink. It's so hard for us to go out and get a babysitter and this was just so disappointing.
The Writer's Room at Cloak & Dagger blew me away with its ambiance. It's a very sultry hideaway/speakeasy on the second floor of Cloak & Dagger. It happens to be CLE's first membership-only cocktail lounge. The space is dimly lit and sets the perfect mood for unwinding. You feel like you're a million miles away from everything in life, just enjoying cocktails, and chill music. There are three distinct themed rooms with different vibes from Viper with red lights and Jungle with leopards. Each room brings a different feel to the space. They're all incredible in their own unique ways. Service was outstanding. The owners and employees were so friendly and attentive. I was at this space for an event, and got to experience a few cocktails including Golden Monkey (with a perfect hint of sweetness), My Muse My Flame (subtle spice), and Rood honey lemon pie (soooo good). The drinks are perfectly balanced, strong, and contain high quality spirits. They are so well crafted. Better yet you can create your own cocktail and tell the bartender what vibe you want to experience. The membership application is available online and is exclusive. The space is open a few days a week, and is perfect for unwinding, reading a good book, or networking. A must join!
Their take on the espresso martini was one of the best I've had. Also ordered the fries, pumpkin gnocchi, and dip of the restaurants choice (hummus). The pumpkin gnocchi was a little bland but ultimately the food was good. French onion soup did unfortunately have a hair in it. The server immediately took it back and the kitchen made a fresh one (said she would comp it off the bill but forgot, no biggie). Vibes inside were super cool. Dark and moody! Great place for a girls dinner or date night
Vegan dinner in Cleveland, Ohio at "Cloak and Dagger" was tasty and fun. Check out their food menu. Their beverages are even more unique. We opted for food rather than beverages so we could enjoy more of the food. The "For Two" menu are appetizers to share and the "For One" are meal items. Our Appetizers were: Vegan BBQ Skewers Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Our dinner entrées were: Causa Acervichada (using hearts of palm and artichoke hearts instead of seafood). Brisket Plate (made from Seiten) Everything was enjoyable. Unless you want to eat at the bar like we did, or outside, make a reservation as it's not a big place, but the service and food is great. I'm posting pics of the food menu along with items we got so you can see what was available whike we were there. We would definitely go back again the next time we're in Cleveland.
Interesting, complex cocktail menu with a selection of monthly specials and another of mainstays. I started with the Rabbit's Foot, which I saw later in a framed cut out from Cleveland Magazine. It's been noted in the local cocktail scene for a reason. Rich, yet refreshing - and beautiful! Each of us from our group of four had two cocktails so we covered good ground. The other two standouts were the Smaller Acts from the regular selection and the Dread Presence from the March menu. Smaller Acts is a lovely little dessert drink, and so good I might be reluctant to start with it because I would want many more. Dread Presence used coffee porter and was smoky, cozy and a little spicy. The other drinks we got were also solid, and the servers were friendly and attentive. We didn't eat, but they have a vegan small plates menu that looks good. Will be back in the summer to sit outside on the sidewalk, I imagine that would be a different experience but nice on a warm evening.
Chic, trendy, and unique dining in the Tremont area of Cleveland. This cocktail bar is a great addition to the area! I was excited to see it had an all vegan menu! Finally found a vegan version of Birria tacos! They come in a set of three. A little spicy, but good. We also tried the Ube jam & crostini. Also, very unique & filling. Sweet taste (like fruity pebbles cereal) but well balanced. Both dishes were great! While we didn't get to try a drink, they have a cool 'aura' based cocktail menu offering colorful drinks. The server did give us two complimentary shots when we arrived. They even have a non-alcoholic option if you like. A nice place to also grab a drink and snack if you don't want to do a full dinner. Friendly staff! Can't wait to be back. Indoor and outdoor seating available. There is also bar seating. It's best to make a reservation as they fill up fast. Parking is limited to the street.
Very busy even on weekdays, make sure to have a reservation! Had a reservation for 8:30pm on a Thursday and waited ~10min to be seated as the last party was just leaving. Quite dark on the inside with dim lights barely enough to read the menu, but the shared plates are to die for. The Brussels sprouts and fries are a must-order! Drinks were a bit smaller than expected for $16 but strong. Smaller Acts is heavily coffee flavored without too strong aftertaste of alcohol.

A friend and I were visiting from out of town and stopped here to kill some time before we checked in to our hotel. As we were getting comfortable at the bar, the bartender greeted us with "welcome shots"- immediate five stars - and was as friendly as could be. Our drinks were made quickly, enthusiastically and never went empty during our visit. I tried two drinks on the menu (I cannot recall their names) and while they were creative, I wasn't a fan of either. Despite this though, Cloak and Dagger gets five stars for atmosphere and service. read more

Never a bad time at cloak and dagger. The recent menu being Alice in wonderland theme was such a fun theme! The tea tower was delicious (I need a jar of each of the jams pronto!) and the absolem (their version of ratatouille) was so flavorful. For drinks I loved that they have non alcoholic versions and I've had both mocktails and cocktails from here and they always deliver. They change the theme every season and I can't wait to see what the next theme is! read more

This place is hard to get into but if you see a reservation open, snag it! You won't be disappointed. The limoncello cocktail was amazing. Very fresh and bright. Love how they come out with a welcome shot. Whole place is a vibe. Can't wait to try their food next time. read more
Finally made it in to try this place! The drinks are complex and tasty and well paired with the vegan menu! We enjoyed the Brussel sprouts, chips and queso with vegan chorizo and the birria tacos. Will def be returning to try the Philly vegan cheesesteak! read more

Absolute best bar in Cleveland. Best cocktails, best ambiance, great service. They change the menu frequently. read more
Our fav bar we visited in Cleveland! Def a must try. All the cocktails had a lot of dimension and the menu itself was really cool and well thought out- I dont often go somewhere and say i would drink any of their cocktails but this place did that. We were greeted with a shot as we were sat at our table and our server was really cool. We typically frequent a lot of bars and it was refreshing that the staff was really laidback here.. almost seemed more like a friend vibe than a server vibe. Def recommend checking this place out. It looks like the library where Antonio Banderas meets Salma Hayek in Desperado lol but overall great cocktails and a pretty intimate date spot! read more

My favorite cocktail bar for many years - the rotating menu is incredible, and the drinks are inspired. Perfectly balanced cocktails each time. High end drinks at reasonable prices. The food is also amazing, and the best part is that everything is vegan! The atmosphere is unmatched, the gothic vibes makes this place stand out among the rest of the bars in tremont and the greater Cleveland area, I haven't found anything comparable nearby. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, service is very attentive and begins with a complimentary drink. I return every time there is a new menu, and you should too. read more

Omg I absolutely loved this place! I was passing through Cleveland on a road trip and was so shocked to find such an amazing Vegan restaurant! The aesthetic of the place is really cool, it's very medieval and fantasy-esque. Everything we ate was sooo delicious, I had the Brussels sprouts, bangers and mash, and tea-mirisu! And our waitress Emily was the absolute sweetest! I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in the city! read more
This place is right off Lincoln park. I didn't have any food here but the drinks are fabulous. Well made and quick to order. It dark, romantic and dimly lit. It's a dash of cozy and chic. Great space to meet a friend take a date. The parking isn't great and I'm unsure if it's dog friendly but it would be nice to come back and check out. read more
This was one of my favorite spots that we visited in Cleveland. I hopped online and made a quick reservation while at another bar, and I'm so glad I did because it's a cozy space. The atmosphere is very much what you might think of when you hear the name Cloak & Dagger: moody, dark, and a bit mysterious. This is a fancy cocktail bar, but it's not pretentious and I felt very welcome and happy at our corner of the bar. Your visit starts with a sample of a welcome cocktail. The menu is a beautiful illustrated book, which I always appreciate as its own work of art. It definitely sets the stage for your experience, which is a bit theatrical with flamed rosemary and flourishes on your drink, but it's not over the top. Drinks here are thoughtfully crafted with ingredients you don't always see on cocktail menus, like mustard seed, roasted grapes and olives, and vegan goat cheese foam. The Her Highness cocktail was my favorite, with a bit of a smoky earthiness but also some fruit. They have drinks that can be made spirit-free, which I love. Canned beer, other NA options, and wine round out the drink selection. We ordered the tofu bao buns and popcorn with house seasoning - both were good, but the popcorn was amazing. Popcorn is my favorite snack and their seasoning was just right. The whole menu is vegan. I'm so happy we got the chance to experience Cloak & Dagger. I will definitely be back if I'm in Cleveland again. read more

This is such a cool place to come and try cocktails here in Cleveland!! The place gives off a very intimate vibe, as the lights are low and the ambience is relaxed! I do recommend making reservations, as it is very hard to get a table when just walking in - so definitely be prepared and make that reservation! The menu changes every couple of months, which is super fun to come back and try new drinks! They do keep some fan favorite cocktails on the menu, so if you are unsure what to try - this is a great starting place! ( the servers and bartenders are very kind and can help you decide what to get if you are having trouble with which cocktail to try!) They do have a small menu of food to pick from that is all vegan and made in house! - we did not try anything this time, but all the choices sound delicious! I can't wait to come back and try more delicious cocktails and hopefully food next time I'm in! read more
What a fun evening in a super-funky, chill space! Met up with my wife and a longtime, long-lost friend for an evening of cocktails, eats and catching up. We were seated in a little conversation nook near the front of the house with plush chairs / couches a small table and a view of the entire bar and seating area...great for people watching! Our server popped over with a round of "welcome shots" to get the evening going, what a nice touch! We settle in with our first round of craft cocktails and perused the menu for snackage and meal time. What an interesting list of possible drinks...more than one list, actually...and each of us really seemed to enjoy our choices (I had a "Last of the Poppies" to start. Both my wife and I changed things up in round two and those were also fine as well (ended with a "King of the Dead"). The table started our food journey with some shareables...house fries served with an ancho chili BBQ sauce along with confit leeks served over a delightful mustard seed and cranberry vinaigrette. Both were cooked and presented with flare! For main dishes, my wife and I each chose a different item and then we shared; she chose the French dip (made of roast beet seitan and a mushroom jus) and I opted for the mushroom stroganoff served in a mushroom gravy. Both of these choices were hearty, bursting with flavor and again cooked and presented expertly. Have not been to too many vegan style restaurants, but this one really kicked things up a notch and I can't wait to return and continue to explore both the food and drink menus! Our server popped over with a round of "welcome shots" read more
Cloak and Dagger has to be my favorite cocktail bar in Cleveland. They have a limited food menu that is absolutely perfect. The atmosphere and decor are spot on for a cocktail bar and the rotating menu keeps you coming back. They also start you off with a small shot of their special cocktail for the night. We started with fries with chili lime salt, cilantro and bbq sauce. You can tell they make everything in house. The bbq was amazing and the fries were delicious. I could have eaten only the fries for dinner. We also ordered the Ghost of Grandeur and Forlorn Hope. The Ghost of Grandeur was a more serious cocktail. The Forlorn Hope was more fruity. Both cocktails were great. Our dinner order was the French Dip and Celeriac Cacciatore on polenta. Both dishes were perfect and we would order again without hesitation. The Celeriac was slightly spicy and the polenta had a good texture. Whenever I come across celeriac I don't know how to prepare it. I may try this next time. My partner ordered the Ghost of Grandeur as his second cocktail because he liked mine so much. I ordered the Last of the Poppies spirit free. Cloak and Dagger has spirit free liquor and several cocktails can be made spirit free. The Last of the Poppies was not my favorite, but I did love the presentation. The inviting atmosphere makes you want to hang out all night. I will stop gushing and I just can't say enough about Cloak and Dagger. read more
Cloak and Dagger is my favorite cocktail spot in Cleveland. If anyone comes to visit from out of, we get a reservation here. This place is perfect for good low light vibes, delicious cocktails, and cool ambiance. The menu changes every few months, which makes for an exciting new drink every time I'm in. This time I enjoyed the Debts Paid a bourbon based drink with beet and red wine reduction and a goat cheese foam. The salty foam plus the sweet and sour drink was an excellent combo. A favorite of mine (tg it's on their standing legends menu) is the queen of thorns. It's gin based, with a spicy sweet and floral kick to it. So much fun to drink. You basically need a reservation here, wouldn't recommend trying to walk in. It's usually fine to get one a few days in advance, and sometimes day of it you don't mind a more off time. Food here is all vegan, and my favorites are always the french fries and the popcorn. Definitely get an order to split, the fries are a can't miss. Service is always exceptional, I've enjoyed the care each server gives when making recommendations. Oh also when you are seated you are greeted with a complimentary welcome shot, which is a great touch. Drinks right now are $15 each, so on the pricier side but absolutely worth the price. The effort going into these cocktails are above and beyond, and the flavor combinations from the incredible house made ingredients make it worth it. Thanks, Cloak & Dagger! read more
Back to C&D for some drinks on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Really nice when they open up their big window on the square. Tried some new food items and they were on point - feta salad was incredible. We did not anticipate the food being so good here but it is as worthy of the visit as the craft cocktails are. Cleveland asset. Service great as usual read more

Note to reader - this is a vegan cocktail bar, reservations are highly recommended and time at table is limited. Let's start with the best... the cocktails are so so good. I mean we ended up at another bar after another bar and had a hard time sipping down the drink because these cocktails rocked so hard. Highly recommend you at least come for one, or four. They run about $15 but totally worth the mouth explosion! The food was average. I am not vegan but my husband is. He loved his food. I got the vegan gyro. I was a bit disappointed that it came on a hanger bun with lettuce and tomato. I was expecting more of a traditional food experience, maybe it was me but I wouldn't have called this sandwich a gyro. It was good but not what expected. But for my husbands dishes, he truly loved and wants to go back for more food, which I agree to join if I could just get an extra cocktails As for the space, it was nice. I really enjoyed the ambiance and the service was fantastic. I felt it was a bit on the darker side, which had me struggling to see the menu, it is also black. I recommend they get those light up menus to help out those of use who struggle to see in the dark. 5cocktails 3.5 for food 3 for the space 5for service read more
You can ask people and read about this place, but you have to check it out for yourself. The decor inside is very homey and gothic all at the same time. Not a ton of seating options, so a reservation is HIGHLY recommended. The cocktails were delicious! I also got the Buffalo 'chicken' sandwich and some fries. I do wish their food menu was more extensive. Definitely a cocktail bar first, food second. One note is that there is a timed limit on your table once seated but the time given was plenty. read more
Someone described the ambiance as "ambient and moody" and I think that perfectly sums it up. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming and a little mysterious. We arrived right at 4 when they opened, and although we didn't have a reservation, we were able to score a seat at the bar. (The hostess did tell us we had to leave at one point though, as she was expecting another reservation.) We ordered a couple drinks and even got a "welcome drink", which was a small sample of a holiday concoction that was fruity and sweet. The drinks were well-made and strong. I also didn't realize it was a vegan menu, but the small plates were actually pretty solid. I had the roasted beat carpaccio and meatloaf, which were both pretty good. I honestly had no idea what to expect out of vegan meatloaf, and while it wasn't exactly what I expected, it was fairly hardy and satisfying. My friend has some food allergies, but the kitchen was kind enough to whip her up a pasta dish with a red sauce. I tasted some of it, and it was excellent! I love the Tremont neighborhood and I always enjoy trying new places here. This one did not disappoint. read more

This place has been on our list to try for a while now and I'm so glad we finally got here! We made a reservation for dinner on a Friday night. The place was moderately packed. They had a much larger patio space than I was expecting, but if it was not spring/summer - the amount of people they'd be able to accommodate would be slim. So would absolutely recommend making a reservation. We got a couple cocktails - I got the rabbits foot and I LOVED it. Don't know that I ever need to drink another cocktail. Then for dinner we got a couple apps (pickle platter, fries) and each got the Buffalo "chicken" sandwich. The food was all incredible, I was so impressed. The sauce that came with the fries was like a smoky ketchup and it was so unique and a nice change to such a standardized side. If you didn't know, everything on the menu is vegan - including anything they use in their drinks. My only recommendation to them would be getting a couple more items on the menu to eat.

Unbelievably good cocktails. Probably the most creative in the entire city. All new menu every couple weeks or months too! Now they have unbelievably good vegan food too! The sweet juicy whiskey "chicken" skewers were not cheap at $14 for two, but were the best seitan strips I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and coated in a sweet barbecue sauce with nuts and a perfectly complementary kale and cabbage slaw. So delicious I couldn't believe it. The Gemini drinks came as two "twins" which were fantastically paired. The first had nutty roasty chocolate notes from the mole agave and chocolate bitters. The Twin II was a nice bright mango orange peppery little shot of goodness. The only downside here is that you require a reservation and it is dark as hell in there. I mean I'm 30 with fine vision and I had to use my cell phone light to order off the menu. Meh. This place is a MUST GO in Cleveland. read more
Cloak & dagger is an ICONIC gothic, poetic artisanal cocktail bar. The vibe is giving dark academia meets Cleveland. The service is truly unparalleled, with seasonal cocktail menus that are tailored to a particular story. Every drink is truly a home run. The food is vegan friendly and I heard is also delicious. MAKE A RES A WEEK IN ADVANCE. you'll thank me later. read more
