Nice atmosphere and the beers are great. The food was good but the desserts leave something to be desired. The "pies" lack flavor and are mushy. read more

Total dive bar, good value on food. Beer always tends to be on the flat side. Service is good

THE best fish town. GREAT atmosphere. SUPER friendly staff. I was born on the east coast and I missed good fish. And I'll tell ya. They have real good fish. read more

I used to like this place until tonight. My bartender was Amanda (who I watched doing shots behind the bar instead of noticing I was ready to order another drink and food) I've never been so dismissed over and over again when I obviously was not done talking. it's cool I understand if you have a shitty busy night but that's every Friday in the food industry and by your age if you haven't figured that out by now maybe you should choose another profession. Drinks were super weak, appetizers were great but when I went to go order my entrees I was given the check. Not a problem I will take my business somewhere where Im treated like a patron and not a problem. read more

Quite possibly my favorite Taco Tuesday in town. Normally a German restaurant but man, this place has like 20 different protein options for tacos, and a bunch of delicious German beers. Not only that, but anything you order in a taco can be fried up in an empanada too. Prices are quite fair, even for the post-pandemic price hikes that have happened everywhere. Highly recommended read more

Stopped in around Noon on July 2, 2023 with my hiking group following a hike on Cleveland's West Side. We all lined up at the bar, placed our orders and then thoroughly enjoyed very large German beers and large, well priced German meals. Our group tried a lot of different beers and food and everything was great! Server took our orders efficiently and kitchen delivered meals quickly. A great place for a group outing! read more

Went for taco Tuesday's. Lots of options and interesting place. They take credit cards. I'll say this, the place was pretty cheap and had a cool vibe. The tacos are about priced right. If I would have paid more I may have been disappointed, but how can you beat tacos for $2.50. To quote the gin blossoms, if you don't expect too much, you may not be let down. read more

Came here for the hyped $1.25 tacos and cheap empanadas with a friend. Apparently this place used to be a community center as the place is huge and at first you might find it looking a little old/sketchy. Don't be afraid though, I found myself trying to find parking (it's free!) in a lot that was full. Food was good for the price, environment was open, and service was quick/friendly! Definitely will come back again. Tip: find seating yourself. read more

I am rating this venue based on its event hall, not the food or drinks because I didn't have either. The event space was huge and perfect for the crowd freak showcase and I'm definitely looking forward to coming here again in the future! read more

I was there for a BBQ event earlier this summer, and it did not disappoint. The place was jammed, but the servers kept up and were polite, friendly and fast. The place has an old-time feel, in the best way possible. The crowd was varied from local regulars to hipster millennials. Everyone had a good time. This was my first visit, but not my last. read more

This place is an absolute gem. The food is very good and liters of beer really hit the spot. I love taking out of town friends to give them a true Cleveland welcome and this place never disappoints. Love it!! read more

Sachsenheim is the diviest of dive bars and I kind of love it. My husband I had this in our rotation in college, but I enjoy it just as much now as I ever did. Their dinner specials rotate weekly: Monday- meatloaf, Tuesday- tacos, Wednesdays- wings, Thursdays- burgers and hotdogs. They offer other, more substantial fare as well such as pork schnitzel, but I feel equally satisfied with their cheaper offerings. Their beer pours are sold in 1/2 or full liters and are always priced to sell. To say the interior is humble would be an overstatement, truly it's nothing more than rundown pool hall, but I can't help but feel cozy and welcomed in the space. The bartenders are friendly as can be, and you're sure to find plenty of space up at the bar on a weeknight. If you're looking for cheap eats, or just a relaxed place to enjoy a beer, Sachsenheim is calling your name. read more

My family and I went here for their Marti Gras party last night and we had a blast! We got the creole buffet and I ate till my hearts content. The red beans and rice was spicy just like I like it and I loved trying crawfish for the first time! My boyfriend and I come here often for taco Tuesday and the awesome drink specials. We plan on coming here for fish fry Friday! read more

We love the "Sachs". The kitchen is small, so there can be a bit of a wait. Where else can you get a full liter of german beer for $5-$5.75? Heck, we went to dinner at Sokolowski's and waited almost 1.5 hours in line WAITING. I'd rather sit at the Sachs and enjoy a liter of beer, enjoy conversation and wait for my food to arrive. We have enjoyed everything we've had to eat. read more

Sachsenheim Hall - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

You had me at $1.50........ $1.50 Tacos that is! And I'm not talking about your basic ground beef, shredded chicken tacos, NO! I ordered the Korean Pork, Hawaiian Pork and Texas Beef (?) and each one was bursting with meaty flavors. All that comes on top are lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese-which I appreciate, because it allows the meat filling to shine on it's own. You also get a choice of hard or soft shells-which I mixed up (a little cold, but I can let that slide for $1.50 per taco). They have a good selection of German beers on tap for really cheap too! I think I saw 1 Liter for $7! Great for a night when you don't have to work the next day, but it was a Tuesday so I ordered a 16 oz. I was feeling very satisfied after I left. 6 Tacos and two beers for two people cost just about $20, which I think is a bargain. Definitely coming back for more food specials, like The Schnitzel Fest and their Fish Fry Fridays read more

Sachsenheim Hall - Texas Beef (?), Korean Pork & Hawaiian Pork Tacos! $1.50 each - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

For the past few years, various friends and family members have asked me to join them for Taco Tuesday. Finally I made it and am glad I did. You can't beat the 5 dollar liter beers! And the $1.75 tacos are great too. I especially enjoyed the chicken paprikash tacos. I also tried the white mushroom and bean chili taco- and for all vegetarians out there...it was decent. Our table also ordered all the flavors of empanadas. The blueberry was my favorite but the peach just did not have enough filling. You will be charged for sour cream and salsa, which some of the people at our table never actually got yet were still charged. We would have said something but the service was so slow we just wanted to get out. They also did not charge me a dollar for each water I drank like it said on the menu, so we called it even! A tip from someone who frequents the joint told me to order a beer from the bartender before you sit at a table and just sit back and know you will be there for a while if you are getting food. But again...$5 liters are kinda worth it and the atmosphere is so casual and laid back that despite the service I would go back. Their outdoor patio reminds me of someone's backyard! read more

Can I say this is a hidden gem or is that a cliche? The Sachsenheim, though difficult to say, has been a great find. When you first arrive, it's this massive building where it's actually a little difficult to find the bar. Is it to the right? No..that's a dance hall. Oh, the left. I get it. The staff is friendly, learns names quickly and a young girl seems to always have huge warm cookies to sell to benefit something or other... I went on Taco Tuesday so here is the breakdown: TACOS: Such a great selection! It seems to change seasonally. The Habenera was hot but my personal selection was the Chipotle Bacon. It had an excellent depth to flavor. None of the tacos were bad and I was pleasantly surprised how each tasted SO different! Green Chili, Sausage, Pulled Pork, Bacon, Chicken, etc. Lots of options for even the adventurous types! Plus, they're only 75cents. Yea...you read that right. BEER: I started out with a huge mug of the Spaten, which may or may not be a Malt. The beer was cheap and available in every Munich-approved size you could want. On tap they only have German beers, which is a good thing! ATMOSPHERE: It's a bit of a hipster bar, crossed with some townies, some metal-heads and a table full of cops in uniform. Strange mix, but welcoming and unpretentious. I'm pretty sure about every third person at the bar I recognized from a Grog shop show at some point. Overall, this place is a...ahem..gem! My bill was under $10 and I left full and buzzed. Next time I might even splurge on the 14" Burrito (about $5) or the 14" Quessadilla ($4). read more

OK. First thing you need to know is that this place is in a fairly shady area of Cleveland - the first time I went there I was pretty sure my GPS had gotten me lost. But the place itself is nice, homey and pretty darned awesome! Basically this place is a German Bar with cheap food! A Litre of beer costs you $6. Yes. A litre of Heffeweisen. Or Dunkel. Or an IPA. $6. Insane. And then there's the food. Taco Tuesdays where you have about 16 different types of tacos for a dollar each. Wing Wednesdays where you get tasty wings with a seemingly endless combination of dry rubs or sauces for about $2.50 (or is it $3?) a lb. And 75 cent Burger Thursdays. And to top it off, they have a old school jukebox, a pool table, a Table Tennis table and a coin operated mini bowling lane (which is frigging awesome) No matter which day of the week you go to this place, you cannot go wrong. read more

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, there's a beautiful 78 degree breeze blowing out there and the sky is blue. Not in the Sachsenheim Hall. But that's ok. Even though the place is a bit of a windowless behemoth, the giant beers and wings on Wednesdays more than make up for it. $3 for a pound of huge wings and about 12 different flavors to choose from, from sweet and mild to face melting, dry rubs and sauces too. Great for groups, never really packed out and always cheap. Tons of parking, motorcycle and scooter friendly. read more

Pretty cool place in a old school working class neighborhood. They have a kick ass (mostly German) beer list. The litre mugs always run out..guess they dont just wana BUY MORE? Daily specials are good too. It IS priced well and very affordable as the other reviews say....but if ya look at the cars parked in the lot these people arent hurting for money... Welcome to hipsterdom... read more

THIS PLACE KICKS A** FOR TACO TUESDAY! Are you kidding me I love this place. Best kept secret in Clevleand. Trust me if you find this place your never gonna meet someone that was just passing throught he neighborhood and decided to Stop. HERES THE FACTS: Tacos: Fast, delicious, plenty of options, AND ALL $1 Service: Fantastic. Super friendly staff Parking: TONS OF IT Beer: UMMMM $5 Litres of Dunkel. Need I say more? I may be off on the price but who cares its still cheap. I mean for under $20 you can eat and drink like a FAT ROMAN. People: A mixed bag from Hipsters to business men in French cuff Shirts. THE BREAKDOWN: Get you butt to this place before it gets too cool for school and you cant get a taco cuz of the crowds. I also heard wed. burger night was bad ass. read more

TACOS TACOS TACOS! Best Tuesday taco night I have found! 16 different options and $1.25 cant beat it! Bonus everything tastes so good!

Sachsenheim Hall is glorious. Tankards of quality beer are available just above (and occasionally below!) retail. Enormous quantities of pretty good and very cheap house made food flow like wine. You never know what sort of crowd might be in the bar, but there's a good chance you'll hear some German "um-paw-paw" music from upstairs, run into a singer-songwriter's club, or a bunch of loud beer SNOBS. You don't even have to use your imagination to see someone wearing lederhosen if you go at the right times! Their outside area is swell in warm weather, with some seriously nice old trees. read more

Put the Grumpy Sauce on anything you can. Heck just eat it out of the portion cup. You will thank me later. read more

Great beer, cheap food, good times :) Kind of in a bad area of town though... so just a watch out. The menu is usually only a single type of item for the night (tacos, wings, etc.) so don't expect many options. I usually go for Tacos which are amazing... lots of interesting tacos above and beyond basic beef and chicken. The place seems to be hit or miss in terms of the crowd. I've seen it packed to the brim.. but then i'v also seen it virtually empty. When it gets busy the service REALLY slows down (even for basic things like Taco's or wings) but normally pretty quick/normal service. read more

The Sachsenheim is a dump. I like it though. It is so sad that there aren't enough Sachsen's to keep this place up & running the way it should be. This place has 3, count them 3 ballrooms!!! I mean, think of the fabulous concerts or weddings this place could have. I bet it was a site to behold in it's heyday. For now though, you should go & support a place of local history. WARNING: this is shady-town so be careful and go with a friend to your car. They have GREAT German beers on tap & for a deal too! The food isn't half bad Grumpy will take care of you! Seriously, next time you're in the mood for a great brew, check out the Sachsenheim! read more

That was an odd, but interesting....at times frustrating, experience. Hearing about the legendary $1 taco Tuesday, my friends and I decided to give Sachsenheim Hall a shot. When I first walked in, I scoped out the scene for a table for 4, which doesn't exist. Sachsenheim offers bar seating and communal tables. Time to make new friends... When we asked our waitress about happy hour specials, she said that there was no happy hour since their prices are already so low, despite the big sign at the bar advertising happy hour until 7. For whatever reason, there is no written beer list, and our server seemed on edge and annoyed when we asked her to run through the beer options. Fast forward 45 minutes and empty beer steins and we couldn't track down our waitress. We waved down another server who wished us luck finding ours when we offered up a physical description. About 10 minutes later, we spotted her, waved, and were told that she would be back. It took at least an hour to place an order for our second round of drinks and food. So frustrating! When the food finally did arrive it was equally cheap as it was tasty, which made the wait feel somewhat worthwhile. The Korean Beef tacos were the hands-down favorite. I asked for non-dairy and my empanada was super cheesy. It was only a $1.50 loss though (we didn't see our waitress for another 20 minutes once we were served, at which point it didn't feel worth it to ask for a cheese-less empanada). One of my friends never received her empanada, but was charged for it, and again chocked it up to a $1.50 loss. It just didn't seem worth going through the hassle of finding our server and waiting for the issues to be resolved. read more

We've gotten fish dinners several times recently and yesterday was my first complaint. I usually get the baked cod, which is quite good. But I just felt like having the "Lake Erie Perch" dinner for a change and was utterly disappointed. I'm fairly certain that I was served ocean perch rather than Lake Erie perch. I guess I should have known you can't get a lake erie perch dinner for $8.95. It was not good. I will continue to get the fish dinners, but stick with the cod. read more

The best taco tuesday in Cleveland. They did raise the prices so now I think they're 1.50 but still pretty awesome. On any given Tuesday there's at least 10 different combinations ranging from lamb to chorizo. Given how packed it is, the servers are doing they're best but do expect to wait a bit for your food. They also have real beer sizes here, including the legendary beer boot. Order the tacos loaded so they come with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and salsa. My favorite was the chorizo and I wasn't really a big fan of the lamb. They hda run out of fish tacos by the time we got there. The whole entire hall screams tacky wedding reception with plastic flowers and the faint smell of smoke in the bathrooms. But it's clean and there's ping pong tables. There's also girls selling homemade cookies for a buck that look pretty tasty. read more

Found this through Cleveland Taco Scene on facebook. Tuesday are 75 cent tacos. Yes, really. They have like, a dozen different kinds too. Whichever you get, go with the soft shell though. Their hard shells are just your standard manufactured taco bell shell. I had the fish taco and it was my favorite by far. Also tried the chipotle chicken and bacon & the chorizo chicken sausage. They were okay but would have been better in a soft shell. The empanada though, for a $1.50...you can get any of the tacos in the empanada and it was SO delicious! I think next time I go back I may just go with a couple of those. $1.50 is still pretty cheap and it was huge! I got mine with Chile con Carne. Drool! The beers are big and cheap as well. Between my boyfriend and I, 7 tacos, an empanada, and 4 medium size beers, our bill was $24! I have to admit I was a bit skeptic because this place is in the middle of the hood, but you would never know it once you got inside. It's a good mix of people and everyone was really friendly. The inside decor is pretty basic. It's a German Hall and that's exactly what it looks like. There is a "beer garden" I guess you could call it in the back and it's very lush and green and a great setting for tacos and beer! The bartenders and staff were really nice. I was expecting them to be curt and annoyed as they were running their as*es off because it was busy, but I didn't feel rushed at all. They were really patient and learned our names by the time we walked out the door! read more

This is a fascinating place. I loved being in this 1910 era building. So much must have gone on here throughout the years - you could kind of feel it. And nowadays, a rather decent Taco Tuesday is going on. (Signs alluded to other popular days like wings on Wednesday and German food on Saturday). I ate 5 tacos. Chorizo and spicy beef were my favorites. There were so many meat types that one could fill their tacos with. I tried a chicken blend with bacon that was interesting, but good. I would definitely come back here for Taco Tuesday. The price, portion and flavor were all good. I also got an empanada, which I wasn't a super big fan of. I found it a bit tasteless...overpowered by oil. The size was big though and it was well stuffed with meat. All the taco meat options are options for stuffing the empanadas as well. Prices were more than reasonable with $4 pints and $1.25 tacos, hard or soft shell. Burritos were also an option. Service was friendly. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and went over her favorite taco fillings with us. Orders came out as requested, with or without cheese and sour cream and in the requested shell type. Our waitress took our names down and the kitchen sent out the tacos divided up accordingly. When I finished my first three and ordered two more the kitchen was super fast in getting them out. Not a fancy place, though they do have a patio (folding chairs and tables on the grass), but definitely worth checking out this 2016 Cleveland Scene Magazine Best Taco Tuesday winner. read more

Tacos were very tasty and unbelievably cheap. Good selection of German brews, and very well priced also. Not the most aesthetically pleasing decor, but that doesn't matter much to me. The service was great, I left happy, I will definitely come here again. read more

Great food at s great price! I went for taco Tuesday and they did not disappoint! Can't wait to go back and try some other food.

Finally made it out here after many years of thinking about giving it a try. I am going to do a simple rundown of things I like and things I don't. Like: - the crowd. I get tired of yuppies, hipsters and the general asshatery that goes with them. Mostly blue collar working folk while I was here, but surely that gets more mixed at times. - good prices every day of the week - good beer and full liter mugs... awesome Don't like: - service was bad, with one of the staff being the exception. I don't need someone hovering over me but it is nice if they don't disappear either. - food was only ok - location blows. i am not one to shy away from run down areas, but a friend lived right down the street from this place many years ago and I had a few situations arise while visiting. All in all I like the place and will most likely try again. read more

What a cool place especially for the location ! I always enjoy good German style places, because I grew up in southern Germany. The beers selection is great, and people can drink out of the legendary 1L beers. Food is pretty decent, especially for the price. Wednesdays are wing specials, where you get a pound of wings for 5$! The sauces and dry rub selection is vast and good. For the service........ Nothing personal against the bartender/server/foodrunner/busser/ everything, but this is the slowest service I have ever experienced! 1 hour and 50 minutes to get wings and fries. Worst part about it each individual order was 15 minutes apart. So, my friend received his food, 15 minutes later I did, then 15 minutes later the other friend. The drink order took about 20 minutes. I am not blaming this on the staff, but management. Also the cook did not seem to know to handle tickets and or how to line them up on the board, hence 30+ minute ticket times. The wings were horribly over cooked, but still tasted good. I hope their service picks up because I enjoy the place. But no one should wait 2 hours for wings. read more

Love this place! My family would go here for family reunions when I was younger (have multiple party rooms). Now I just go there for taco night honestly! Such a HUGE selection of tacos for soooo cheap! It isn't really in the best area of Cleveland but it is truly worth the experience. Never had to wait but always busy. A really big place. read more

For sure not impressed with the decor but the tacos and beer are great! Taco Tuesday is awesome and great options and combos of flavors. I was a bit skeptical of the place when we first drove up but the food was so tasty I'm for sure going back. Great beer/food with excellent prices. read more

Food was great had a smoked chop and pork stir fry the smoked chop was awesome, grumpy the kitchen master came out of his garage to see how we liked the food and gave us his homemade carrot cake, he has a grumpy exterior but we quickly had him laughing with us. The warm German tater salad was also killer. Ray the bartender is a solid dude we will be back. read more
