Highly recommend Trivia nights on Tuesday with a mindblowing burger deal: cheeseburger (at least…read more1/3 or 1/4 pound), tots and a 12 oz Bud Light draft for $8.99. Tots were crispy and the burger was juicy. No special seasoning but came with all the routine backyard BBQ fixings. I was definitely full at the end of dinner. Great staff, even though they were hustling that night. They were attentive, pleasant and efficient. Unfortunately I arrived late to Trivia, which was free to join and would definitely return to play. Lots of TVs to watch sport games. Has its own parking lot.

Turkey bacon sub had good lettuce, nice slices of turkey, and the right amount of bacon for flavor and crunch, and a side of real mac-n-cheese (with REAL cheese)! Philly cheese sandwich was juicy and hearty, with peppers and onions cooked just right. The side of fries was fresh and crispy! Interior was cozy, with friendly atmosphere, obviously a regular hangout for some. Service was prompt and also friendly. I would recommend this place for a quick bite, or to just get out of the sun for a cold drink. I paid in cash so I don't know if they take card. Good amount of parking for a little place, and some giggles with the decor.

So we figured why not give it a try at the Winking Lizard. It's was really good. My husband even said he liked it better than Chicago-style. We would definitely come back again.

The whole vibe was like CHEERS where everyone knows your name and you quickly learned theirs! We loved it!! The Nelson opens around 7am and is open til late. They serve breakfast , lunch and dinner.

I watched this awful looking dive bar transition from an eye sore in the neighborhood, to thriving bar, restaurant and small local band venue over the past 20 years. John & his wife have succeeded in turning the local eye sore into a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating serving up some amazing food. Their burgers are out of this world! The chicken wings can hold their own over many of the people that claim to fame their own. The gyro's and other Greek dishes give a real taste of the other side of the world! I'm not a drinker, but they do have a full bar both inside and outside. They offer catering and delivery for your events! The outside venue has local bands play on certain nights and has a covered, heated patio with a cast-iron stove/fireplace. The place is always clean and the service is beyond reproach! The variety of whiskeys is unparallel to any other bar we've been in Cleveland! If you're visiting from out of town and you want a quick bite to eat that satisfies the palette, make sure you stop in and say hello! A perfect meeting place before or during a Guardians, Browns or Cavs game!

As a sour dill pickle lover, I really loved the cucumber-flavor pickles. They are great for the burger -- adds even more flavor without overwhelming like some pickles can. The pickles taste how I imagine they would when only half through pickling process -- a combo of discernible cucumber with a mild dill flavor. Very nice. I was disappointed with the octopus. It was delicious and uber tender, but only one small tentacle -- not enough to share with anyone. My husband and I can share a meatball at most places but this tentacle was too small. The gnocchi that accompanied it could be a dish all its own. The gnocchi with the potato alone would make a great app. or entree. We were really impressed with the food and are looking forward to round 2.

I love a good dive bar, however Never Say Dive is a bit more elevated when it comes to the food choices. I really wanted to try the deviled eggs, but they were out. There definitely some other things that caught my eye, but decided on just the wings. It was later in the evening. I believe the server said they were gochujang, though the flavor was a bit different than the gochujang I'm used to. They definitely packed a kick of heat. Overall I enjoyed them. The margarita was just ok. Long story short, I would try it out again

The setup has a wow factor as you enter the basement level of the building through a tunnel covered in plants and leading straight to your first photo opp! The circle with pink bench is a cute preview of what's inside. Once you check in with the hostess, enter through a door and welcome to the social club. Beautiful decor that mixes a level of sophistication with a little drama as you see the bright lights. Plenty of seating and even a private room that can be rented out. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is friendly! The menu offers a mix of unique cocktails (and can be made as mocktail a too) and small bites. Upon recommendation, I tried the F.W. Marg drink. So good! The most unique aspect is the watermelon ice cube. As it melts the drink flavor changes. Creative & fun way to enjoy a cocktail. They open at 5pm, which would be a great spot for chill happy hour. Later in the evening, you'll experience more of a lounge/club vibe. Great edition to downtown CLE!

I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!
