We were in the mood for a good burger and we saw that this place had been voted "Best Burger in…read moreCleveland!" So we figured we'd try it out! If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.

After going to a candlelight concert in Cleveland, we came here for dinner around 8 o'clock-ish.

The Burger had enough char on it to give it such a good flavor and we just raved about it at the table! YUM!! Our other friend got the salmon stirfry and absolutely loved it! Now at the boys table- my husband got the Irishman Burger another got Nora's famous bowl another got fish and chips.. Nora's famous bowl, which was full of chunks of fried chicken over mashed potatoes with a Guinness gravy was a big hit! I will probably get that next time. One of the girls got the smoked Gouda mac & cheese, and added shrimp to it.... Sadly, this was not one of their best dishes. My friend really did not like it. The other miss was their pierogies- the inside filling was good, but the pierogi dough was tough The service was laid-back and friendly- we all had a good time We will definitely go back here!

Now, they have this bar set up like a pop up Christmas bar. I love downtown Willoughby because you could imagine this place was once somebody's home. It's been beautifully converted into a nice little bar. If you want to escape the loudness of Nora's downstairs, you can go upstairs to Finn's. Now, I understand you can rent this place out. But they have Christmas ales they have appropriately menu-ed Christmas drinks. Now, we weren't there for dinner time, so I have no idea if they served food up there, but I imagine they do. It was really cool because if you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit, they found a way to do it. And this little Christmas bar just made me so happy. It looks warm and inviting from the outside. That coupled with a brisk wind in downtown Willoughby. Made this place an awesome addition to our night.

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.
