    The bar at Gormley's.

    The BEST Irish Pub in Cleveland. No food but you can order or bring anything in you like. They have Kilkenny Irish Crème Ale on tap, not something you can find anywhere. Great ambiance and the owner has gone to great lengths to recreate a true Irish pub! Great service and the help is always welcoming.

    Irish New Years!

    This is a pub lifted from the north of Ireland, a true Derry experience. No, there is a sparse selection of food. That is typical of pubs throughout the Republic as well as Derry. I remember a thatch-roofed place just outside of Spital. They had a menu that contained one (and only one) item, a ham sandwich on white bread. But it had fantastic porter and a healthy slice of craic. Gormley's is the same. If that's not enough I can't help you. A wide selection of fine whiskeys, lovely Smithwicks, a bit of corn beef, an occasional cigar atop the second-floor patio and always attentive service. This is must stop place if you are in Rocky River!

    I have Irish ancestors and twice traveled to Ireland. Having this bar right around the corner saves a lot of travel time. This is mainly a bar, but they do have rubens and corned beef sandwiches. With multiple levels and outdoor seating there is more room inside than it looks. It appears that they could handle parties and large events. I got a REALLY GREAT VIBE about this place.

    Is there a patio at Gormelys?

    They have a small deck on the side and upstairs too!

Service is quick, evenly spaced out appetite and entrees which is nice without being rushed. Having a reservation on a Saturday night is must. We came in ad s party of 4, thankfully we had reservations, the place was packed, the bar and restaurant were full. Once sat, our sever went over the cocktails and beer list, taking appetizer and shareable orders. Once the appetizers came out we put in for entrees and then dessert. Starting with the ceviche, incredible flavor with the tight touch of heat and citrus balance, almost made me wish I ordered 2 so I could have it as my entree as well. The chickpeas were perfectly seasoned with great texture. For our entrees we opted for the paperdale, house made, banh mi pork sandwich, a burger and the scallops. Everything was cooked perfectly, albeit the scallops were not so satisfying the mix of flavors were off for me, maybe it was the mushroom. We also had the white chocolate Jerry bread pudding, the perfect end to a meal, I'm a sucker for bread pudding.

It's the kind of place that works for a night out with the girls or a corporate dinner, and I love a spot that can do both. I truly enjoyed my pasta dish. I'm not even usually into mushrooms, but I definitely was here. The only downside was that the service felt a little slow. It wasn't a particularly busy night, so the pace was a bit surprising. Overall, though, it was a solid experience.

The service is less than by far not good. It was like they had 1 girls and she was in the weeds most of the time. It took way too long to have to order- and then took too long to get the food - the only thing that was fast was getting my check and making it to the airport. The server didn't smile she would've rather been somewhere else I'm sure. Then the big one- a customer was letting their children run around like it was daycare center - any proper place would've addressed the parent that this is a liability - if the child were to fall and hurt themselves, they would be able to sue that restaurant but instead, I had to feel like I was sitting in romper room for most of the time I was there while this child just ran around now this has nothing to do with the server what it has to do with his management and leadership not addressing that issue. That's a halfway decently nice restaurant, but I wouldn't tolerate that even if I was sitting at a McDonald's or an Applebee's of someone just letting their child run around and hide tables and stomping around and screaming, and making all kinds of noise it was complete bullshit. So whoever is the owner and or manager that was on shift that day should have addressed that issue or have the server addressed the issue. So be prepared if you go during lunchtime that it may or may not be a daycare center.

I was in the area and asked a friend about good eats around. Char was one of the recommendations, so I stopped in for lunch. My experience was not memorable. AMBIANCE: The ambiance is rustic and moody. Exposed brick walls, gorgeous wood bar, and ambient lighting. The main hues are calm browns and earthy tones. The feel is modern and intimate. Barrels and barrel tops add extra touch of whiskey expertise. Mark Twain's whiskey quote adds to the refined mood. Plenty of seating is available at the bar and at tables. Few groups were dining in during my visit. Leather-ish chairs make it a comfy seating experience. FOOD/DRINKS: The bar is known for whiskey, over 300 types. You'll find some local Ohio and rare pours at Char. Aside from whiskey, you'll find craft cocktails, mimosa bar (during brunch), Bloody Mary, wines, beers, seltzers, and drafts. It was Dry January, so I couldn't experience any of the boozy selections. I was disappointed to not find any mocktails and very limited N/A options - coffee, sodas, iced tea, Pellegrino, and two N/A beers. Feels like a big miss considering current trends. Plenty of food was available during my visit. It was the in-between of brunch and lunch. I had two menus to select from. Refreshing to see so many choices. I ordered Char burger ($18) and did not enjoy it. Char means that it comes charred or black. Plenty of problems with this burger with the main one being dryness. The bartender mentioned that the burger comes with housemaid chips. Instead the burger arrived with fries. Plenty of them, but the fries were cold and dry like they sat out for a while. The burger barely had any cheese or onion straws. The pretzel bun was extremely dry. Short rib was dry and lacked sauce. Meat (local grass-fed beef) was really good and tasted like something from the market. Excellent meat but overcooked. I asked for medium and it was well done. I separated burger meat by itself and ate it, but only accomplished to eat half. Good value for high quality meat, but impossible to eat due to ingredient proportions and dryness. I was disappointed in this burger. SERVICE: The service was bland. There was one waitress serving the entire restaurant - bar and dining room, so I get it. The mood wasn't especially inviting. I wasn't greeted, wasn't asked if I need a box or whether my food was good. It was just very minimalistic interaction that I didn't enjoy. It seemed like regulars got a warm welcome so that's a plus. VALUES: The restaurant advertises weekly specials and happy hours. Whiskey Wednesday and Tuesday Burger night seem the most exciting. PARKING: Private parking lot is available behind the plaza. Plaza gets very lively during daytime. I really wanted to love Char but it was a disappointment for me. The restaurant decor was my only favorite. Perhaps it's a good place to savor whiskey. But between mediocre food and service it was a one-time visit for me. I'd rather go to other restaurants in the area that focus on food quality and hospitality.
