BEST DIVE EVER…read more excellent fresh food here, everything I've had is fantastic. This is the Cleveland state college bar but really I've basically seen the working man lunch crowd. It's great. Today I had wings. Prior the chicken salad sandwich, the little Becky burger the big Becky burger I've had the tacos. I had a salad with the chicken salad on it. Everything is so fresh. They have a kitchen that is proud of their work. It's a big place with a storied history, back in the 80s this was the old exedra bar you can look it up. There is a reason that dance floor and the bar is shaped the way it is it's hilarious. I looked it up because I thought this was an old concert club and the bartender told me oh you looked it up and we were dying laughing. They have a free parking lot. It really helps a lot to drive business five stars for dive bars. This place is awesome.

The event does have a 10 dollar cover charge but it was worth it. I think it's a great place to go by yourself to meet people, for date night or with friends.

There were a few negatives on our visit, but the positives and the super evening we had here more than made up for them. It's right in downtown and so close to historic districts and Playhouse Square. The exterior looks like a place in Germany, both modern parts and historic house facade near the entrance. Inside is divided into distinct parts as well, with the main large hall having the stage, long group tables, small semi-private tables, and the bar area at the back easy to find with huge barrels. To the right of the entrance and restrooms are smaller rooms with low ceilings for events or quieter dinners. At the back is another small bar, plus outdoor seating areas off different sides. This is a German restaurant, and their menu leans into heavy meats, potatoes, pretzels, etc. The beer selection is traditional German styles as well: dunkels, helles, festbier, etc. They're also lower on the alcohol and heavier on the flavor so expect to get full here. Prices are reasonable for the large sizes, should you desire. Initially we had clearly frustrated staff serving our group and the shared bars, but once this was all adjusted, they all ended up being friendly and quick to serve. On our evening, there was a wedding party, which brought their own local band so the German umpah music was switched for rock standards and modern songs. This ended up being the highlight, as people were dancing on tables, and the close proximity of the stage made it feel like a private party for the few dozen of us left at the end of the evening. If you're a fan of German food, music, and beer, this is a fun substitute for flying to Europe.

What in the sam hell is going on at HBF Cleveland? The restaurant has gone down the tubes, yikes…read more.. We stopped in on a Thursday night of a long holiday weekend and it was completely dead... Literally, there were maybe 30 people in the whole restaurant for the two hours we were there, no music, no entertainment, and the lights were off in parts of the beer hall. This is a complete travesty and uncharacteristic of a HBH - The last two times we've visited, it's been very disappointing. While the service was good, the atmosphere was non-existent, the food was below average at best, and everything was absurdly overpriced ($120 for 2 liters of beer and two entrees, what in the actual eff?). The self-titled house boss and I both felt the food was highly processed, prepackaged, and/or previously frozen... There was nothing authentic German about any of the food last night and that's probably the most disappointing part of our visit because this is not what we're accustomed to when visiting HBHs. HBH Cleveland should be a destination location, but wow has it gone down hill... I really hope management gets it together, damn.

Very disturbing and disgusting experience here…read more My husband and I were going to a play next door and were walking along the strip looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite about an hour beforehand. We saw this restaurant and sat on the completely empty patio. A server came outside, gave us menus, and we began looking over them and discussing what we wanted. Two women then walked up and asked us if the restaurant was open. We told them the server would come out, so we essentially brought them business as well. Within about five minutes, the same male server came outside three separate times asking if we were ready to order. He did not offer us drinks or water and seemed increasingly irritated that we were sitting there. The third time, my husband simply said, "We're good for now." The server then picked up a plastic sign that had been lying face down on the table, presumably blown over by the wind, and slammed it aggressively down in front of me, startling me, before storming away. We looked at the sign and saw that it said "Patrons Only." We were completely stunned by the way this was handled. If there was an issue with us being on the patio, it could have been communicated respectfully from the beginning. My husband went inside to ask for a manager. The same man told him that he was the manager and there was no one else. My husband asked for the owner, and after leaving for several minutes, he returned with the owner's phone number written on a Post-it note while insisting that he had done nothing wrong. My husband calmly asked him whether he thought his behavior toward us was appropriate. At that point, the "manager" came from behind the bar and began screaming at the top of his lungs directly in my husband's face, in front of all of the tables in the restaurant, loudly enough that I could hear it from outside along with two police officers who were nearby that rushed in after hearing it. He then got directly in my husband's face and chest-bumped him, escalating the situation physically. Another employee also became involved, yelling at my husband and appearing as though he was going to become physically aggressive as well. I opened the door because I was concerned about what was happening, and my husband and the two officers came outside. The manager never came back outside, and another employee took over the other table. The four of us were absolutely beside ourselves. We contacted the owner from outside the restaurant, but despite being told the owner would follow up, we have had to reach out ourselves and have still not received an adequate response regarding what happened. We are both business owners ourselves, and we cannot imagine treating customers this way. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding about the patio, there are professional and respectful ways to address customers. Screaming in someone's face, chest-bumping them, and escalating the situation physically is completely unacceptable. The incident was so loud and disruptive that people who were walking into the restaurant witnessed what was happening and left before they even walked in. This was not a quiet disagreement--it was a very public and extremely aggressive confrontation. We have never experienced anything like this in our entire lives of patronizing restaurants. We filed a police report regarding the incident. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this establishment to be aware of our experience.
