Though there were pretty attentive when we first arrived, they quickly became distracted with other tables. We lost count how many times they passed us by when our water and cocktail glasses were empty (we were in the middle of their single path of travel). Cocktails were decent but their prices were proud; I would say the same for their small plate items. We were visiting from Dallas and paying $18 for a cocktail is a starting point there. Paying $18 in the back of a mercantile store with mediocre service, though the space was nice, was a stretch.

Our meal opened with a salad which included dried crasins, and goat cheese. Personally not my favorite to have a version of fruit on my salad, but my wife really liked it. The pulled pork sandwich was exceptional. The dessert stood out to me, kind of a mix between the cinnamon twists from Taco Bell and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Light, airy, crispy, while not being overly sweet. Paired with the cream cheese dipping sauce this could be very addictive. Two things that made this place stand out for me came from growing up in Western New York, and finding things that can not always be found outside the 716, good chicken wings and Labatt Blue on draft. The wings were "smoke-a-fried," smoked and then fried. What they had that set these apart as the best wings I've had in Cleveland is the right amount of crispness on the outside, while still having a juicy inside. The BBQ and Garlic Parm were my two favorites. Plus being able to wash it down with a Labatt Blue made it all the better. Drink wise they had a nice craft beer selection, specializing mostly on Ohio based craft beers. They had a nice list of seasonal cocktails, that both my wife and I were pleased with. Lots of live music available, with their Facebook page frequently updated. Good food, good drinks, nice gastropub atmosphere, definitely worth the return trip out to Berea. I will definitely be back when I'm in the mood for some wings.

I know they serve food, but we just came for drinks. It was very busy during the week about 6pm. We were able to sit at the bar. The bar was filled with regulars, most of whom were friends with the bartender. She was not enjoying her job this night and appeared stressed sounded annoyed. She did make us drinks and warmed up slightly, but I hate feeling like you're putting the staff out just by ordering a drink off the menu. We ordered an Alligator Lounge and Yada Yads. Both tasty. I felt drinks were on the pricey side for what you get. It's a very popular place and feels intimate. I would try it again when back in the area.
