Erika, the bartender, was welcoming when we opened the door. The service, food, and especially the drinks were fantastic. I believe this may have been the best old fashion I've ever had. We plan to be frequent flyers from here on out. read more

So...when you cross a dive bar with an upscale wine bar you get a speakeasy and that's what you get with Seeing Double. An intimate bar with plenty of space to spread out and relax, you can't go wrong. With something like 12 craft beers on tap, a massive cocktail selection, and more high end liquors than you could dream possible, you've got yourself a great little weeknight spot or if you want live music, every Friday and Saturday they have that too! The manager, Erica, is such a lovely lady and her staff makes you feel like a long lost cousin at a family reunion. Definitely a place to stop on in! read more

Enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and prompt service. Happy hour is one of the best in the area with a wide variety of apps and ten beers on tap. Many cocktail selections to chose from. This place is hard to find as Waze doesn't always bring it up but it's on the same street as the BMV. Ambiance, service, food, drinks are all 5 star. read more

This was our first visit to Seeing Double. It is a bar with several food options located in a strip mall in North Olmsted. It wasn't very busy at the beginning of Happy Hour but it quickly filled up. Also Happy Hour is 7 days a week. Parking is accessible and easy. When we entered there were several people from the business next door smoking in front and the smoke smell was very strong. That was a definite turn off. The bar itself was very cute. The Christmas decor was amazing. Our server said it took over 15 hours to decorate. The cocktails were wonderful and we were able to sit on a comfy couch with a coffee table. Many of the tables were reserved so they were expecting a crowd. Seeing double has lights you tap to signal service needed. We really liked that feature. Staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

UPDATE TO RESPOND TO OWNER: I thought the response came off as very strange and defensive. It's not like I left a bad review? A review means I talk about my experience, which I did. You don't get to invalidate it lol. I've been to every single Christmas bar in the Cleveland area over the course of the years, and I've never seen such fruity and tropical drinks on a Christmas menu. I can and did read the ingredients, but thanks for the suggested lol. That's just a fact lol. Not necessarily a bad thing. Just not my preference for Christmas. Yes, the addition of the laser lights were cool. Whoohoo! And I have literally NO IDEA how the owner would know the timing of our transaction. Couldn't look it up via credit card or anything since my husband paid and we don't even have the same last name. lol. I was sending pictures to my family, so out of curiosity, I went to look at the time stamps. It took over 20 minutes for us to receive our drinks. And we didn't even order food, so idk why in your "review" of the timing, you mention food. Lol! Again, it's not a complaint. It's just a fact. Like I said, it's what I expect from this place so it didn't bother me. All I know is this defensive, misleading response really did leave a bad taste in my mouth, so Im not so sure I want to come back any more! -- Stopped here for the Christmas pop up bar. My husband and I just got drinks. We walked in on Saturday night and got the last table (the others were occupied or reserved). The Christmas decor is the same as before. The Christmas drinks were very tropical, so not really warm and cozy. They were okay. I was honestly disappointed as I've had really great drinks there in the past. But the presentation was great! The service was extremely slow, but that's the standard at this place, so we expected it. Our server was so cute and cheery! Overall, I enjoy this place and I'll be back! But I hope their next round of Christmas drinks are more Christmasy ! read more

Went in on a Friday at 6. Happy hour was till 7. I parked in front of a preschool next door Let me tell you, this place looks divey and it is but it is soooooo good. Literally. The drinks are top notch! The food is out of this world. I got a chicken quesadilla and the chicken portion inside was HUGE. I also got a FREE mozzarella sticks app by signing up with email. (Don't mind if I do) We saw a band play and they played great stuff that I loved, granted I'm pushing 50, but great music is mint. Now look, I'm a gin girl. I started with an Aviation. WOW Really good punch. Next I tried No Wake Zone and it DELIVERED! The pineapple coconut foam added to the gin and made it dreamy. Lastly, I tried the Seeing Double Martini. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER. All I can say is, so glad I found this gem in North Olmsted of all places. I even got my friend from Willoughby to come all the way to try this bar. We absolutely loved our time spent here. The service was nice. Felt like I had a personal bartender just for us. Nothing but roses at this place. read more

Went out for a Friday night cocktail. Did not eat. Still love the atmosphere. New food & drink menu looks awesome and we will be back to try. My go to is always a dirty martini, but I think they changed something, it wasn't as good in the past (very briny, and the blue cheese stuffed olives were not as good). Alas there are so many other cocktail choices I just won't get that one again. read more

Great summertime place featuring their new patio menu! I've been coming here since I moved into the area and it's always so good. Inventive fresh cocktails and good food. Service is always pleasant and attentive. Great speakeasy vibes and old world drinks as well. Will continue coming! read more

Seeing Double Speakeasy Bar - Cocktail menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - North Olmsted, Ohio

Went in for Happy hour. Drinks were nice and festive. We had entertainment and 2 solid appetizers. Everything was so good.

If you know Seeing Double, then you know owners, Danielle and Daryl, and bartenders Steve and apprentice Emily. Well they will, despite my 5 stars, LOATHE this review. Seriously, I mean DESPISE EVERY WORD. Bartender Steve, is the Chuck Norris of bartenders. And yes, Steve is a bartender, not a cocktail maker nor a mixologist, but a Bartender. But don't let that humble title fool you. Steve drank old fashioneds from his sippy cup before the 1st grade. There is an extensive collection of prohibition era and classic cocktails. The menu changes quarterly for seasonal libations. Additionally, Just naming a spirit, a flavor, a dum-dum sucker you tasted in 3rd grade, literally just conjure up a thought of a whisper of a flavor, and they've got you. And you don't question the craft; you appreciate the lesson. When Daniel San is told wax on, wax off- he does just that-Wax on. Wax off. When Steve says, Negroni now, Vesper later. Without question, You Negroni and then you Vesper. Steve won't tell you his birthday, but I have some intel that leads me to believe it's the same date as Mr. Miyagi. Steve has scaled Tahitian's volcanic mountain peaks for the finest Persian limes. He's crossed miles of Uruguay's grassy plains to capture just-ripe luscious tangerines. The 'false acacia' flowers inconspicuously blooming from the trees in his backyard? It's nectar produces the world's finest honey. We "know" Steve was not alive when Marco Polo travelled from Europe to Asia circa 1300, but the resemblance to the two is a bit too uncanny... Every minute detail, from the shape of the ice to the tiny drop of bitters released from a micropipette, every decision and action is intentional and precise. Come to think of it, Marie Currie, famous chemist of the 1800's, used some of the first micropipettes in history. Coincidence? Steve learns, knows and slowly expands each individual person's unique pallet. He'll take you from vodka/cranberry to a gin gimlet by the end of your first visit and won't even realize it. Before you can peel the damp, tattered label off of your bottle of bud light, you'll find yourself drinking a Sapporo Space Barley, derived from grain that spent 5 months in an international space station. Steve won't tell you he's been to space, but he won't deny it either... There is also a fine assortment of retro Tiki drinks. Tiki Drinks that derived from the inspiration of the Polynesian culture, that one man experienced while traveling in the South Pacific, circa 1930. The man's name? Don Beach. Tiki drinks? "Beach"?... C'mon Steve. You can come up with a better disguise than that? By now, Daniele, Daryl, Steve...they are now seething. SEETHING. That's because, despite my prose, the bar isn't pretentious, it isn't boastful, trying too hard, showy or flashy. This is a neighborhood bar catering to locals and overly welcoming to newcomers. There isn't an ostentatious, intimidating atmosphere any day of the week. You can expect a humble, modest, staff of stellar bartenders and personable owners. The space is quaint, some speakeasy charm, but not so much that you feel like you need to be in a flapper dress, swing dancing. I said they'd seriously hate this review, but they don't take anything too serious. Except cocktails. Seriously, @%&$ amazing cocktails. read more

Seeing Double had been on my list to try since moving to North Olmsted last year. The interior is cute and cozy. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for the appetizer and most like it was a store bought version. Although we arrived in time for happy hour we wanted to order from the standard menu. We were told this isn't allowed during happy hour which is something I have never encountered. The drinks were outstanding! I had one of the best cocktails I ever tasted. For dinner I had a patty melt and my wife had a chicken wrap. I would go back for a quick drink and skip the food because none of it was memorable. read more

A hidden gem of North Olmsted and Cleveland in general. Creative cocktails and knowledgeable staff. Although the drinks are the highlight of this place, food was excellent too! Steven took great care of us and it was obvious he was proficient in his craft. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Absolutely loved my first experience here, read more

Seeing Double Speakeasy Bar - Main bar and cocktails - Cocktail Bars Near Me - North Olmsted, Ohio

My wife had been wanting to go for some time. We stopped after some errands on Wednesday. We sat down. I went to the restroom. Someone brought us water and a menu. We did not see anyone back at the table for close to 15 minutes. I did what I could to stay quiet. Eventually, my wife ordered a lavender lemonade and I had a last word. One thing for sure, you don't have to worry leaving here drunk. We ordered a flat bread and some wings. We asked if the wings could be crispy. No go, as they clearly bake only. They were extremely salty and skin was off putting. The flatbread screamed of food service chicken and crust. The prices might suggest a better drink and tastier food. On top of the service and food, the piano guy, although a nice touch, was far too loud for the space $90 later, we left. End of speak easy story. Thankfully. read more

So it's not speakeasy in the sense that it feels hidden or is hidden away from sight, but it is a fun place to go if you're looking to find a diverse drink menu. It's nice having a full drink menu provided for you to browse, especially if you're less familiar with knowing what you may like when it comes to mixed or, or if you're looking to go out of your comfort typical standard mixed drink. I went during one of their trivia nights, and didn't opt for any food so I can't speak on that. The place is definitely packed on trivia nights so expect to wait a bit for service as staff are running everywhere. On top of a hard liquor menu, they do also have beer on tap. One star less because the parking lot where the storefront is located fills up quickly. read more

Absolutely adore this place! The cocktails are excellent and made with love every time. They don't rush making them and they are always delicious. I love the rotating specials that they offer every month. The appetizers are good when stopping for a bite. I haven't tried anything else as far as the rest of the food goes but plan to at some point. The environment is so cute and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about the staff either. They all get to know you and answer any questions you may have about any drink on their menu. Don't even get me started on their happy hour!! I love coming here during it. The specials they offer on cocktails are great as well as some of the appetizers! Always look forward to visiting this spot! read more

I had a great time meeting up with some friends and listening to live music. I was a little nervous because this was my first night out since the pandemic. I was so pleased. The tables were distant and the musicians were too! The music also plays through a speaker so you can listen from outside. Besides being pleased with the social distancing, the cocktails were amazing. I had the Flora Dora and Whisky Sour. I was not as impressed with the bar food, but it was decently priced. read more

Went for happy hour with the fam. The drinks were good. They had a piano player which was nice. Not really a "speakeasy" though. It was a little bit of a weird business model for me. During happy hour they only offer a limited menu. You can't order any food specials for the month or anything from the regular menu. This threw me off a bit as I had in mind what I wanted to get before I got there and then had to choose from a limited menu. I think if you are going to offer certain things for happy hour the charcuterie board and the cream cheese dip with pepper jelly should be available as to me those are very "happy hour" type snacks. The food was pretty good though. The margarita pizza was good, mozz sticks were good. Pretzel bites were a bit hard. Mac and cheese bites were okay but a little dry. I did not care for the bite of smoked turkey club i had, too much "smoke" flavor for me. The Italian sandwich was very good. The salad was okay but definitely had to ask for more dressing as it came out with maybe 2 tablespoons of ranch. We had to ask for silverware. Our server and the bartender were very nice. Overall a decent experience would come back for a few cocktails. read more

The owners know their stuff, big time. I'm from out of town, and I don't think I've ever been to a bar with a more knowledgeable staff. They clearly have a passion for their work and it shows. Considering my dad and I were coming from a funeral, I can't tell you how much the extra personal attention meant. Cocktails were incredibly well balanced and interesting. Ambiance is a little lacking, but hell, it's in a strip mall so what do you expect. read more

A very pleasant surprise! Living in Cleveland, we usually go out for drinks in Lakewood, Tremont, or Ohio City... let's just say I've had many a craft cocktail around this town and I can truly say these cocktails were some of the best! I met a girlfriend here for happy hour and we had a really great experience. You can tell they really put care into their work... from the tasty small bites to several classic cocktails we tried, everything was delicious. It just so happened to be trivia night when we were there so we decided to join in (as it was free and totally non intimidating) and it was an absolute blast. The owner chatted with us for a while and the bartenders were all exceptionally friendly and attentive. We can't wait to come back and check out their live music.

WOW. First and foremost. I'm in the area/state for business and was looking for a nice place that had a good review and boy did I find it. When I first pulled in I honestly had my doubts as I had been to many places setup in this type of mini mini strip store styles and been in impressed. However upon entering I felt a little bit more at ease as the atmosphere, design, and layout inside was very welcoming. So here it is, the food was very good and the drinks even better. When I arrived there was only one bartender serving the whole place, ok I get it not quite the rush hour but still causes a bit of slow service but I understand. Their menu clearly states that they are a 'small business with minimal staff so please be patient'. First let me say I appreciate when this is stated at business locations because it gives me a better expectation as what to expect. At the time I arrived the single working bartender was doing a great job and I never saw him stop moving or helping patrons even once so kudos to him. By the time I left an additional bartender and server arrived which helped greatly as the number of patrons was quickly filling the place up. I got the Mac n cheese bits and a pizza as well as some drinks. All were absolutely incredible and supersedes what I expected upon pulling in. I highly, highly recommend this place and it's safe to say if I don't visit at least once more in my next 4weeks of being in town then I will DEFINITELY visit the next time I'm in the area! Additionally the music was great, newer music that was all covered in swing "speakeasy" style, love it! read more

It's the place you go to when: 1) Your plans fall through 2) You're local and don't want to drive far 3) Need a place to end up close to home. It always smells like a burnt grilled cheese in an apartment without a fanand they are always overwhelmed. Everything takes 20 minutes more than it should. Went there on a Friday night (with a reservation) literally waited 45 minutes for our drinks after we ordered them to even be asked if we had received them. We tipped fair. We've been there. But don't hope for anything out of this world. Mediocre is the word of the night. read more

I give all places more than one chance. I've given this place 3. I've been there twice before only to be met with very inattentive bartenders who never ask you if u need a menu, another drink, etc. Then I go for their last day of Tiki in July where they advertise getting to keep the glass and get a lei. ok cool. I'll try again. no glass. no lei. only a bill for $17 for the drink and I had to beg for the check. took me 45 min to get a bartender to pay attention to me and I was sitting AT the bar next to a whopping like 6 people. not like they were slammed. if I wanted to pay $17 for a cocktail I would go downtown to a swanky bar not one tucked away in North Olmsted in a little strip mall. False advertisin, mediocre cocktails that are overpriced and bartenders that don't care if you're there or not. Pass on this one. read more

I pulled up and there was some awkward rock music blaring outdoors and it's in a strip mall next to a day care... so I thought eh..... but we needed a place for a drink so we ventured in. Glad we did the bartenders were knowledgeable and helpful in selecting cocktails. I had a pisco sour for the first time in a long time and I was sold. We tried a few other cocktails which were all solid and the music changed to an excellent live music option. It's a weird mix of offering Miller light and wine coolers and a really good martini. Very come as you are would work for whatever vibe you are having. Date night; happy hour, ladies night Recommend read more
