I've watched them, they rarely wash the glasses before passing them to someone else. Health Code Violation. 2) I overheard the bartenders talking. They have a keg of rotten beer they give people they don't like or they want to leave. Health Code AND Liquor Control Violation. 3) I've had my Credit Card "Skimmed" 3 times while I was there. Once again, I watched. Guy sits at the bar by the register and takes pictures of the cards with his phone. I don't think the bartender is an accomplice, but I'm not sure. Get your act together! Before someone reports you! I don't want to see my favorite bar go down for stupid reasons!

The prices were great and my bartender/servers were very kind and efficient. You could tell they were having a good time.

"Hook and Hoof" has been in downtown Willoughby for quite a while so they must be doing something right. And the fact that there aren't that many high level dining establishments in the Willoughby area helps. The first thing I noticed was the facility is very narrow which lends to a crowded feel. And all you need is one overly boisterous table (which was right next to us) and the noise level can be overwhelming. The server we had for the evening was very pleasant. She did a good job being timely with everything. But, it was odd that she often did not listen to an entire request (or maybe just couldn't hear) before walking away. There were a couple of requests for simple standard items that she wasn't even sure they had. I just found it odd. The food however was excellent. The kitchen staff did an exemplary job all night. I had a marvelous cocktail from the well stocked bar. And my double cut pork chop was fantastic. So full of flavor, juicy, cooked exactly as I requested. The sides that accompanied it were just tender enough without being mushy. And my banana cream pie was great. Overall, I give "Hook and Hoof" a solid 4. I definitely can see us going back. They deserve another try. You should give them a try and see for yourself.

The prices were astronomical so my daughter and I just ordered meatballs and potato wedges. I really wanted fish but there was only ONE fish dish on the menu and I didn't like how it was going to be prepared. There's a big disclaimer at the bottom of the menu that says "no substitutions or modifications". Geez, for a $40 fish plate you couldn't have modified it for me?? The meatballs were good, but came out luke warm. The wedges were good. The atmosphere was nice. For 3 meatballs, 5 potato wedges, and a 15% tip (she lost 5% due to not asking us for drinks) our bill came to $45. I *wish* I was joking. We won't be back. I honestly feel like I just got ripped off.

Oh, and to that other commenter (Angie M). The Willoughby Burger is a blended burger. Meaning the beef patty has the mushroom cooked into it. They hand pack the burgers, it's not processed. It's an amazing blend of Portobello and button mushrooms. It's in the James Beard blended burger contest. And what is so wrong about having male bartenders?

The season is escaping us we have yet to have a meal at the chagrin tavern. It was surprisingly not busy so we were able to score a table right on the patio coming up on sunset. Our lovely server is named Emma and I want to give her 17 Stars because she is an amazing server and they're very lucky to have her. Emma was quick with the drinks and she did mention that they may or may not be out of the French dip which I get is a standard anytime a restaurant offers it. She did confirm that they were able to serve the dip and offered up the lobster tater tots which were interesting but I did not eat all of them because I wanted to enjoy them later for snack so I did take a couple home. The only reason for four out of five stars is that the French dip was exceptionally stringy and fatty and I felt they could have done a much better job of trimming up the meat prior to serving. My wife really enjoyed her fish tacos but she is very averse to onions and was not aware that it came loaded with pico which of course is half onions. But our lovely server Emma was quick with the refill and we learned a little bit about her life and how much she really loves serving at the tavern. I did have my wife's 50th birthday party here a few years ago but it's a tad out of the way from our house so we don't come here that often. However the slow season is upon us and it is actually a very enjoyable establishment we will be back

There was a huge airbrushed lifesize Popeye near the front door. Very dark and dank, the ultimate dive bar.

(I'm not sure if they still engage in this practice - obviously they've changed hands in the past 12 years). I have many fond memories of this bar. I once woke up on the dirty bathroom floor after one too many shots of tequila - thanks to the DeMarco's donuts guy. Too bad the old owner started blowing lines of OxyContin.
