    Chill, low-key neighborhood spot. The cocktails are tasty, the drink specials are cheap, the service is good & welcoming, and the wings ROCK!! (Definitely get the wings!) This is a great date place and there is plenty of room for groups. PS - Remember to fat tip your bartender!

    So even though I have driven by this x number of times, I actually came across this place from an Uber Eats promotion! They have typical bar food but as I was opting for delivery, I went with a pizza. Let's see how it holds up to the One Bite tm* test... Immediately what caught my attention was the Meaty Margherita Pizza which is a traditional marg except with sausage and pepperoni. I don't want to complain (I love you Dana) because the pizza was still fine but it was lacking basil (gasp*)!! I reread the description like 4 times just to be sure but chopped basil is like one of two ingredients for a Margherita and maybe it was during peak hours or maybe a new chef but for me it just missed the mark. The crust, sauce, other toppings were great which really made me see the potential. Overall, not bad food or prices but I may have to make a stop in during a Browns game to see if things are any different.

    I had already been picking at the food and there was still a ton left. That spicy ranch sauce was so good that I would probably drink it.

    I have to preface this review with the fact that I love dive bars. It's on a small strip of businesses and there's a huge plaza down the street, so it doesn't appear Swinging Door gets the traffic it deserves. Zero problems my first visit. The food was super tasty, drinks were cheap, and it was a good vibe. The seats at the bar were almost completely filled with a couple booths also taken up on a Wednesday night. Patrons were all middle-aged to older. Definitely seemed like some regulars. We had a group of about ten people in their 20s and 30s and pushed some tables together. They were easily able to accommodate us. Two TVs were on behind the bar showing a baseball game but a few others were around the room and powered down. Touchtunes in the back of the place. A dart board was up front where some of our friends tried (and failed) to show off their skills. Food was awesome and had a huge portion sizes. My wrap came on a baking tray accompanied with a mound of fries. They had a list of 12 beers on draft and even more in cans or bottles. The best part was that they have pitchers as an option for drafts! Really brings me back to college. They have a mini pitcher and a regular-sized pitcher. Incredibly cheap for domestic beer. $6 for a full pitcher of light beer and $4 when an Indians game is on. I'll be back for sure.

    Wings for solid. And when you ask for extra crispy, they make them crispy! Love this place!

    Gunselmans is a neighborhood tavern that serves great food. They have a outdoor patio…read more It's been in business since the 1930's. I've had many of the menu items over the years. Everything is awesome! The service is always friendly and attentive. Tonight I had the pierogi melt burger. The bun is 2 large pierogies. It had provolone cheese and grilled onions. It came with peppers and onions on saurkraut. I added mushrooms. Plus it came with a cup of smoky sour cream. It's definitely a place worth checking out. All

    Visited Gunselmans after reading a Reddit post regarding "best burger in Cleveland"…read more I came here seeking a good burger as I was recently disappointed by my experience at Whitey's Tavern in Richfield. This place had a gnarly wait. Front house staff was transparent but kept pushing my party of 2 back. Lent menu was small, a few fish fry options and only one burger on the menu. I ordered the cheeseburger with everything on it. Ketchup mustard onions lettuce tomato American cheese. Burger was large and favorful. In fact you can tell its a really good mix of 80/20 because it was dripping in juices. Fries were crispy and came with just the right amount (and a pleasant surprise of nacho cheese sauce). Burger was well worth the price of only $12 and 25 min drive. I will be back. Hard to get such a good burger with fries at this price. 8.8/10 I do recommend visiting.

    It was my first experience at this bar and it's been around for decades. I had heard of it and many…read morefriends have been there, but when one of my favorite local cover bands was going to play there I decided it was time. I reached out to the place ahead of time because I saw on their website. They have a VIP section that you can reserve ahead of time for 100 bucks so I did that. Chris, the manager, was super helpful via text Message in helping me plan the evening. Their drinks were reasonable and the space was perfect for listening to this band. Food wise it's a challenge. The bar doesn't have a kitchen, rather they rely on sweet basil to deliver food next-door. Sweet basil has wonderful pizza and food however, on a Saturday night they closed at 8 PM. That's not the bar's fault, but it's something to be aware of if you plan on going to eat there.

    My friends and I came here last Saturday night to check out a live band. It seems like this bar…read moreoften has life music and it had a very fun vibe when we came in. However, they had packed so many people into this bar that we could barely enter the door. Moving from one side of the bar to the other, we had to weave in and out, shoulder to shoulder, and could barely move. I would have liked to have stayed, but there was no way I was going to enjoy myself being that packed in. I fully believe that the bar was at full capacity or possibly over which isn't safe. They do have a large parking lot, but it was over full as well. I would give this place another try, on a different night. The crowd was mainly people in their 50s and 60s, but that was probably because of the type of band that was playing that night. I didn't get a drink, because I couldn't even get to the bar. We stayed about 15 to 20 minutes.
