I'm definitely a fan of this bar and grill. It's a fun atmosphere with a good selection of beers and domestics are always cheap (especially by the pitcher). We tend to go Sundays after Softball and always have a great time. The glass front of the building opens to allow an outdoor feel and we'll occasionally get a puppy to pet and play with. The food is very affordable, the menu is creative, and the portions are generous. The bar staff are attentive and friendly. The seating, particularly the limited number of high-tops, is the only thing I would improve. Give the place a try, but understand it's a bar first (with a bit of a divey feel) with some imaginative menu options (try the Reuben nachos). read more

Shady... watch your tabs (not the first time) been here a couple of time, its right down the street from my house.

They have it wayyyyy too loud like people are deaf. It's very uncomfortable! Service is slow also. Cool little place but wayyy too loud can't hear any of the people you are with! Sucks read more

Try the house made donuts with baileys icing. They are definitely ALL Things DELICIOUS

By the barmaid telling the truth about the size of their wings I asked why they were so much I said the price of a chicken wings came way down she told me they were jumbo jumbo size at best they were medium Burger was okay but they put all the wrong ingredients on it don't get me wrong the barmaid was very nice but just too big of a hurry read more

I love this place. I only drink beer here because the food is worse than shaq's free throw percentage. I come here every day. My wife hates that I come here everyday but my girlfriend loves it. Nina is the best she's so friendly and hardworking! read more

It was an unexpected blessing to find this place open when I got off work and the fool was fantastic.

This is a bar for "the regulars". I felt they would be accepting of new faces. It's pretty dingy inside. The front windows are like garage doors, people have to smoke outside but with the doors open it really doesn't make a difference. We didn't eat anything. There were a couple of booths but it was just extra or alternative seating, there aren't any servers except for behind the bar. We ended up going elsewhere. read more

Great service from Sam. Need to get rid of the old geezer who plays Keno all night then doesnt pay his tab!!!!

I just love the vibe of this place. I hear they have great food but I've only been late night and never had menu items. They have a full bar, good service and good prices. Seems like a local hangout but folks are friendly and welcoming. Lots of seating. Parking lot. Great time with friends. Some in out party had garlic Parmesan wings. They smelled delicious and were covered in Parmesan. Looked pretty tasty. Loaded fires also looked good. Illy ave to go back for some dinner soon. Recommend for good music and good times. Casual atmosphere. Just a drop in and have a few drinks kind of spot. read more

Loco Leprechaun - Irish Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

To say I hang with people who have a sense of irony is an understatement. Hence, our evening out to Loco Leprechaun, the "Irish Cantina" in Westlake (in a strip mall, obviously). My friend Bobo and I were tossing ideas of where to meet up back and forth when it popped into my head. I could barely contain my excitement before saying the words "it's both Mexican AND Irish." Stupid and amazing all at the same time. But, we were both hungry and actually wanted food we'd like. Was it a good night to let our love of all things warped guide our decisions? After some quick research I found the cantina's menu and saw it had potential. It was like this weird Mexican/Irish fusion that took all the foods you love to nibble on when you're drunk and mixed them up. One stand out: Reuben Nachos. The actual restaurant felt warehousey and sterile, not like a pub or cantina. It felt more like a storefront in a strip mall with murals of Leprechauns wearing sombreros painted by a Kent Stater busing tables over the summer. We also found little cards on all the tables telling us to "ice your friends." The slogan, accompanied by photos of hambones drinking Smirnoff Ice, had recently entered our world, but we weren't sure exactly what it meant. Luckily, fellow yelper Matt M. arrived to explain it. Basically, hambones make other hambones drink Smirnoff Ice to humiliate each other when in public. Loco Leprechaun is that sort of place. Yeah. The food is tasty and seemed fresh. While the atmosphere is void of soul, the food isn't. I dug the tacos with cabbage and the Reuben nachos. read more

Loco Leprechaun - Ice your friends! Yes, it is that sort of place. - Irish Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

I've been to the Loco Leprachaun at least 10 different times since I live nearby. The happy hour appetizers are priced very fairly if you are looking for some cheap bar food. If you are up for something a bit different, try the corned beef quesadillas- they are pretty good. The boneless wings come in a good sized portion but they never have enough sauce on them and the "spicy" sauces are not spicy at all. Typically, service is fairly slow. I've never sat at the bar but I think this may be a better way to go because I think that many of the waiters/waitresses fail to see their customers sitting at the opposite side of the room. Overall, a decent place to go if you live nearby and want some good happy hour specials. read more

Not a place you want to go. The bartenders were drunk, food is terrible and the service isn't the best.

Loco Leprechaun? An Irish-Mexican Cantina? How exactly does one fuse together two cuisines so different? Just the idea of a place so odd was intriguing. If anything, it'd be a decent place to meet friends for cheap drinks. Loco Leprechaun, tucked away in an unassuming strip-mall in Westlake looked no different from any other sports bar I've ever been to. A wide open space surrounded by plasma TV's, high-top tables and booths along the walls. The menu was kind of disappointing too. There were a few Irish and a few Mexican dishes, but no interesting fusion between the two cuisines as the restaurant title and slogan might suggest. For the most part, the menu was basically your typical everyday Americanized bar food. Nothing new or inspiring here. (And no, Chicken Paprikash Nachos doesn't count. Paprikash is neither Irish or Mexican. It's Hungarian for chrissakes and it being on the menu makes little sense.) At each table, they proudly advertise the sale of Smirnoff Ice and encourage the potential douche clientèle to partake in the retarded "Bros Icing Bros" game. For further explanation, see here: http://deadspin.com/5557348/the-awful-epitome-of-brahsomeness-bros-icing-bros Now, I know the title: Loco Leprechaun doesn't exactly spew class, but in no way was I prepared for the onslaught of humiliation and insult that our party would soon endure.... Getting blasted with farts. Smelly, gut wrenching, make you want to dry heave, lose your appetite type of gassy ass-explosions! You see, our party of 4 sat at a booth. Downstream of the high-tops. This one particular high-top with a middle aged fellow was sitting within shooting distance. His trigger happy ass was at the same height as our faces. I had the unfortunate pleasure of being on the end of the booth and the first to smell the onslaught. But a strong nose wasn't the only sense needed to tip off the perpetrator. This guy's farts were so rip-roaringly loud, it was almost as if he didn't care. Either that or we were being Punk'd. Unfortunately Ashton Kutcher never popped out from behind the curtains. Now, I will admit, the fart was funny. The first one or two times. The third, fourth and fifth time though, I was getting a little pissed and worried. Does this guy have no regard for human life? Is there something terribly wrong with his bowels? Should he seek medical attention? Clearly YES, to all of the above! Now, I know patrons alone shouldn't be the main cause for a bad review, and the food was passable (perhaps too much so as our loose boweled friend evidenced), but this place just seems to attract filthy swine. And for that reason, I'll most likely have to stay far away next time I find myself in Westlake. read more

Yay! I'm a fan.. I'm loca for loco. It is a Saturday afternoon/evening and the pickings are slim. However, with a group I had a great time. Shots, shots, shots, shots, everybody. Bud light lime, don't mind if I do. Nommmm time; tacos and hangover burger. "I would order it everyday if I could." My BFF's words verbatim, referring to the burger. I really enjoyed their soft tacos with sriracha sauce, the spicier the better. Try the corn and bean salsa with hot sauce and chips, yummo. Great bar food, right on service and good times. read more

Loco, what happened? You've gone down the toilet and I used to like you so. (cue the sad music and a tear on my cheek) The handsome man and I went last Sunday post-church for a marg. and some mex. The place was a ghost-town! (of course we were there at 11:30am on a Sunday!) In place of the old tables / high tops were 4 rows of CPUs! WTF? Why do you have 20 CPUs in your bar? Gaming! Yes, but they don't work and no, Loco doesn't have a gambling license. The bartender informed us that the owner thought this was a good idea, but they just sit there because they don't work. BRILLIANT! Did I mention that they're at the front of house so they occupy the lovely windows that open up in the summer. Poor choice Loco. The menus were dirty and now sported black sharpie Xs over the items, I assume, they don't carry any longer. (Can we say TACKY? Add that to the CPU zoo and we're on a roll). The chips & salsa were eh...the guac. was definitely "Holy Guacamole" which, while I do purchase that brand, was not something I'd expect to get in a "restaurant". I ordered tacos and the man got a burrito. Bleh. Nothing fancy, and it was food. Loco, I'm no longer Loco for you. I think I'll skip you from now on. read more

"You know what we need?" someone said. "A corned beef quesadilla." In other countries, they would have been laughed off the border and into the ocean. But this is AMERICA, baby! We dream big. Who wants chicken paprikash nachos? We do! And so the Loco Leprechaun was born - a Frankenstein-like conglomeration of two disparate menus mashed together. Every time I walk in here I want to raise my arms and shout, "IT'S ALIVE!" Interestingly enough, the corned beef quesadilla is the only thing I would actively tell you to avoid on the menu. (The corned beef is really lame, little flabby strips that are more like bologna - try Corky and Lenny's for a much better local sample.) But everything here is made fresh, by an actual chef (not a fry cook), and the attention to detail shows. The chicken paprikash nachos feature piping-hot nachos and real white-meat chicken chunks underneath a delectable slathering of spicy, tasty sauce. The doughnuts at the end are freshly-made, drizzled with Baileys cream sauce an brown sugar, still warm, and they melt in your mouth. The atmosphere? Well, if you're not into sports it's more of a takeout joint. There's a huge row of bingo/keno/something chairs in the center, and the screens are huge and constantly tuned to beefy men in uniforms knocking balls around. That may actually be a draw for you, and if it is, I can vouch that the customers are very friendly, as are the waitresses. In short, it's a sports bar with solid food and a strangely experimental menu, and I'm always happy to go back. read more

I would rather have a hot fudge enima than ever have to step foot in here again. Irish and Mexican go together as well as Crisco and sunbathing....sounds like a good idea but ends badly. Went on a Saturday and one girl was tending bar and the whole restaurant. She was nice but we had to wait for everything. Food was just bad bar food. Nothing worth even recomending. Sat in the corner by a random empty glass case. Bar itself is a nice copy of Great Lakes bar but the rest of the place looks jumbled and cheap. Ill eat my shepards pie tacos elsewhere. read more

The first time I was here was on the weekend. Nothing but newly 21-year-olds as far as the eye could see. Ok, I get it, it's the weekend. Maybe it will be better during the week. The second time was a Monday (today). Surprisingly, there was a full bar at 7pm. They must be doing something right. This time the crowd was much older. I ordered the white pizza & chips with dip. While it was not terrible, this was not "pizza". It was a round, thin flatbread with a thick layer of white cheese. No oil, sauce or spices. Yeah, yeah.. This is a bar.. I shouldn't have expected a real pizza. The chips & dip also weren't terrible but they're the same basic chips you could order at any bar. Same with the dip. Since I was sitting at a table, I had a server. I had empty glasses & plates for at least 30 minutes. Eventually I had to ask the bartender for a beer. Instead of him just pouring me one, he said "I'll send your server over." Ok, make me wait some more, that makes sense. Overall, not impressed & will not be returning.. Unless I - for some reason - randomly become friends with a bunch of 21-year-olds in Westlake. read more

Good place to hangout, I like this location a lot compared to Lakewood. It's a fun dive bar but a good place to meet friends and have a pitcher or two. Atmosphere is cool, good music...I'm not too sure on their drink specials, but I know they sometimes hand out coupons for drinks, so it can't hurt to ask for some! Loco is definitely a place where you will find this little leprechaun ;) read more

"Look at this coupon," our friend Bec said, gazing at the local area calendar on our wall. "'Loco Leprechaun. an Irish Cantina?' That can't be right!" Immediately, we determined that such a place required investigation - with a name like that, the entertainment factor alone was worth the price of dinner. Loco Leprechaun is located in an unassuming strip mall along Center Ridge Road, just west of Walter Street and easy to miss if you're not paying attention. But it is a hidden treasure of novelty and fun. It's set up with more focus on bar than restaurant, so there are only seven booths at standard height, plus a lot of high, round tables with stools. We were there on a week night and had no trouble getting seated in a booth. The menu arrived quickly, but had to be perused slowly. The restaurant doesn't take its Irish/Mexican theme too seriously in the menu, but it also doesn't hesitate to mix in a broad and eclectic mix of foods from assorted cultures in ways that your average Joe would never contemplate. Take, for example, the chicken paprikash nachos. By myself, I would never have dreamed of ordering something that sounded like such a culinary train wreck. But Ferrett, intrepid adventurer into whatever he's never had before, did. And astoundingly enough, they were absolutely delicious. While pasta isn't food I associate with either Ireland or Mexico, the menu features a number of pasta dishes that were quite good. It also takes its "let's play with cuisines" attitude to rice bowls, and features a Reuben rice bowl and a chicken paprikash one - the next time I go I will have the paprikash rice bowl because their paprikash is some of the best I've had in town. For dessert, we had the home made doughnuts with Bailey's Irish Cream glaze. The doughnuts were much like New Orleans beignet, fluffy and hot, but rolled in cinnamon sugar instead of powdered, and the glaze was delicious. The order comes with a generous 7 or 8 donuts - to our initial horror, since we had ordered to batches for our table of four. But somehow when it came time to pack up the leftovers, only about 5 were left between the two orders. The beer selection is okay, but the drinks menu is nothing particularly special, being an assortment of 'tini specialties. The atmosphere is of the sports bar variety, with several large plasma TVs throughout the bar, and it is a bit noisy. Our service was fantastic. When we expressed curiosity about a drink called Leprechaun juice, our waitress actually brought us free samples - about a half a glass per couple - for us to try. Loco Leprechaun offers a mix of traditional comfort foods with unexpected twists in a casual atmosphere. Definitely fun for an evening when you aren't taking yourself very seriously. read more

Loco Leprechaun - the front of the restaurant - Irish Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

My family and I had such a great experience at the Loco Leprechaun. The food was good The service was fast and very friendly. My kids are older so it was a great place to enjoy a night out with them. However it is also kid friendly too. Fun music and the best part is if you don't like what's being played you can play want you want on the jukebox. We will be back for sure! read more

I live in Westlake and go to Loco fairly often. This is a non-bias review. The Good: Great TV's for watching games and usually good atmosphere with a lot of locals. Beer selection is good. Really nice owner. Servers are typically also very nice but..... The Not So Good: Food is inconsistent and can sometimes take longer than normal to get. I like the Reuben. Sometimes is great, other times it's half fat (like the other night). Service is also inconsistent. Like I said above, they are nice but some seem to have zero experience waiting tables while others are hustlers but over worked. All in all, its a good place to watch a game but don't get your hopes up on the food. read more

I ordered smoked wings, what I got were wings that had smoke flavoring salt doused upon them. Could not finish them. Also, bar defaults to country music. So much for Cleveland being the rocknroll capital. Somone should let them know. read more

Barmaid did not know how to make a frozen margarita and work the machine. This is a Mexican. Themed bar and they used to have top notch margaritas. The nachos were cold and yucky topped with unmelted shredded cheese. Pretty disappointed in this trip. read more

I went to loco other night food was terrible and service by the red head bartender was the worst....the kitchen manager was the only reason i got any kind of seevice she actually noticed i was a customer...wont be going back read more

Intetesting menu. Some mexican, some Irish food. The mozzarella sticks were good. I got the loco wrap and it was good. The black bean salsa that i chose as my side was not that good. Tasted stale somehow like it had been around awhile. My husband had the hotdog and se said it was good. Our waitress was nice snd the service was good. I will come back and try other things on the menu read more

The portabella wrap was amazingly delicious! Yes I say portabella not portobello. I had mine with out the cheese. I just sampled the side of fries and wished I hadn't. Crunchy and delicious is what they were! So I handed them off to my partner in crime before I ate them all. With tribe game playing it was pretty decent and better then average bar food. read more

Used to be great food and fun. Absolutely awful experience. Slow service, wrong food, forgotten orders. Apparently the owner was out of town. They actually ran out of pasta. After a $100+ check that was worth much less no accommodation was made. Very dissatisfied. Do go here. read more

So, I go to this place with my cousin and friend. My cousin had a purple shirt on too, that will come into play later on... The food was disgusting and drinks were weak and pricy. If I'm wrong, it wont be the first or last time but, it may be a gay bar? My friend suggested and "she"is a female. I payed it no mind until I put everything together. As soon as we sat two guys approach the bar and start talon aloud with/to my cousin about how he wishes he was in shape like an NFL player on tv, guys outweigh females and looked questionable? Like I said it doesnt bother me either way, im just curious. Id like to know so I can make fun of my cousin for taking us there, btw, now you know why I commented on his purple shirt... Mexican and Irish!!???? read more

A sports bar in a strip mall deep in the 'burbs. It's better inside than you would expect, with a nice old bar and lots of beers to drink that aren't Miller, Miller Lite or Bud. I have been here a couple of times for food and a beer. If you go earlier in the day (lunch time to about 8 pm) the crowd tends to be older, which is fine by me, I'm older. The staff are nice and the food is decent. I was a little disappointed that the Lake Erie Perch came breaded rather than beer battered as I would expect from a joint full of beer. Fries and cole slaw were good and the home made donuts for dessert were REALLY good. Not a foodie place but if you are in the neighborhood and need to eat, it's a good place. read more

When we were there, some time ago, the food was really good but it was loud in there! Couldn't talk to our table mates so we haven't been back. read more

Had a great fish Fry on Friday . Fish was very good and served hot. Good service even though they were busy. Def would change the fries though. Fries would be much better fresh cut. read more

The chicken sandwich wasn't very good. It was soggy and we had to wait a long time for our food. The waitress was to busy talking on her phone to go back to the kitchen and check on our food. read more

Thanks to Phil and Mike for making things right!!! That's a great way to run a business!! Thanks and I appreciate it...

Great place! Music is a little loud if you're trying to have conversation, but the food is superb! We had the Reuben loco dip (not sure on the name) for an appetizer and it was hot and delicious! Many of us had corned beef in our entrees and it was really good. Fish fry was crispy and fresh! Mac & cheese was a little bland. Bacado salad was tasty too. Would definitely come back for the food! Kelsey was super friendly and a great server! read more

Very fun place, it's a mix between Mexican bar food & Irish bar food. The food was great, menu was reasonably priced and the craft Beer selection was decent, at least they offered some top rated craft beers the Burger was tasty that I ordered and my Fiancées corned beef sandwich was delicious, definitely a fun place to check out. read more

I've been to Loco Leprechaun multiple times over the past few months. I enjoy the very fair happy hour drink prices and varied daily food specials. Service is generally above par. What has made me become a regular is the excellent chef/cook. He really listens to what patrons want. For example, this evening I ordered a dozen boneless wings with an interesting sauce that included ranch dressing as an ingredient. The cook suggested the wings tossed in basil pesto sauce -- he let me try one and it was absolutely delicious. I have to say that the tacos on Mexican Monday are excellent. The vegetarian taco is unusual because it includes fresh mushrooms and asparagus. Loco Leprechaun is a very nice place to have a cocktail and bite to eat. It is clean and has always been pretty crowded, especially at the bar. I recommend this local eatery! read more

I had to wait in the neighborhood. I never get to north Olmsted too often, popped in. love the open air frontage. I was here at lunch. the staff and chef Joe were very friendly. I had a pizza, a little cold but tasty. my son had the rubin wrap.. said it was awesome. had the rubin dip as well, hot and tasty with rye bread toasts... they have 5.00 lunch choices.. the menue does need redone. I'm not sure what its like after dark, but a great lunch choice. I'm sure it gets missed being on Walter and Center ridge in the small plaza...open and light. i'll come back. read more
