    Inside - 2024 beer tour sign up time
    Rose K.

    Met colleagues for an after work / retirement celebration. The side room was great. A little cramped - but a sign of great colleagues sending off an awesome person! Stayed for dinner after a few cocktails. Had the cajun chicken wrap with fries. It was good and arrived quickly despite they were very busy. This is a great venue - bar / restaurant to visit! See you for the next "party"

    Cleveland Classic. The Big Ed burger can never go wrong the wings and sauces are phenomenal and it's a great place to watch a game. Ribs are the sleeper here. There's not much more to say

    Greek Grilled Chicken Salad is great.    So much flavor.   Very filling for a salad.

    Wonderful lunch. Very friendly service. Quick turnaround during lunch hour. Lent menu available. Tried the shrimp and lobster quesadilla. Very good. Nice flavor. Always a good meal and service.

    See all

    This was our first visit to this place. All I can say is GO THERE! I had the best cheeseburger and…read moreonion rings and the next time I am craving a cheeseburger, I wouldn't go anywhere else! My friend had the cheesesteak and fries and he liked them both very much. The fries are hand cut and delicious. All of the food came out piping hot, which seldom happens in a restaurant. Our server, Sam is the best!!!! She came over from BRox and these guys are just so lucky to have her. She is an absolute peach. She does lunch, so go in and see her. These guys have a full bar and a very nice beer selection. The dining area has booths and low and high top tables and can accommodate large groups. The interior is warm and inviting and the patio outside is really nice! I honestly can't wait to go back

The bar looks awesome, very large open area, can't wait to go back to hang out and have a few drinks. The food was unreal! My son got wings that were crispy and full of flavor, I got French onion soup and a quesadilla, which were really good. My wife got chicken marsala, which she gets quite often at other places, and she said it is the best she has ever had! This place is a local gem that if you haven't been to, you need to go. Looking forward to going back soon!

    The wife and I are always looking for new place for food and drinks. Decided to try this place…read more It's a classic dive bar. The service was quick and friendly. Ordered the Sampler platter and Fish Basket. This is the first time I've ever had a fish dinner where there was enough tartar sauce for all the fish. :) Being all the food was fried; nothing was greasy or soggy. Everything was crispy and very good. The atmosphere and decor were that of a typical bar.

    My God I love this place. Anytime I just want to get away and just go have a beer and peace and…read morequiet and not get bent over for the price I go to Concord tavern The outside it looks like you could probably get stabbed in the parking lot but that's the charm about it. It's been around for a hundred years I'm kidding maybe not but the sign up front is faded and it's a working man's bar. They do have food in there standard bar Fair but what really gets me is the price of the drinks. I had two Coors lights and one bullet bourbon on the rocks and my bill was $10. That coupled with I took over the jukebox and played all the music I wanted to hear that I didn't have to talk to anybody or make any small talk. The place is dark a little run down but otherwise I really enjoy going there. The bartender is as nice as could be. She will put whatever you want to watch on the TV. I hate to post a review like this for fear that people will actually go to my hidden gem and ruin it but I don't care it's freaking awesome and everyone should go there.

    Crowley's - Hot garlic Parm wings.  All drums.  Fan freaking tastic

    Dinner at Crowley's Dive Bar Painesville was a huge success last night…read more Self seating but greeted right away. Got our drinks quick and ordered right away. My wife had the daily special, French Onion soup and loved it. I got the soft pretzels, again but they're so good. We both got the Burger Special "The Last Italian Hero" and it looked great. It tasted even batter!! She got the standard fries, always good. I got the Tots & they were so crispy. Overall a great meal!! 10 of 10.

    They have blatz and heilemans old style. I've been here a couple of times and they call themselves…read morea dive bar which they may indeed be. But that's not a slam in any way. We stopped at Tuesday night and the place was packed it was wing night 75 cent wings but yes I'm old enough to remember when they were 10 cent wings LOL. Our server, Tatum had waited on us before and it was nice to see they don't rotate through employees. As we mentioned we got a couple blatz beers, and ordered some cheese curds çevappi and nachos. Yes we eat everything and we're disgusted with ourselves because we ate everything LOL! Food wait times are just a few minutes as busy as they were. The wings were all drums so if you're a flat fan you might be out of luck I don't know if they had flats maybe they did maybe they didn't but I like drama so I didn't care. We took the King's corner which is a large table and is right by this vending machine that sold those rip and tear lotto tickets which people are addicted to it was kind of fun watching people win a couple hundred bucks. Overall music was a nice background they had a hockey game on TV overall which is a great place to hang out. The City also made the road in front of Crowley's a one-way Street which allowed for more parking. Overall I really enjoy this place.

We were greeted immediately by the bar tender who was running the whole show herself! We had beers in front of us almost instantly. They have a bunch of stuff on the menu, even breakfast on the weekends but we were here for one thing and one thing only. Smash burgers! Let's get into it: the patties are a proprietary blend of chuck, short rib, and brisket. Locally sourced! Cooked/smashed perfectly, full of flavor. The edges were crispy and fried while the insides were full of juice! The onions were sliced so thin and cooked so perfectly and absorbed the meat juice so well you might not even notice they're in there if you aren't looking for them the bun is potato, which for all my real burgerheads out there, is the best bun for smash burgers. Perfect bread to meat ratio, and the flavor matches excellently with the burger juices it absorbs. The fries were fresh and battered nicely, but I couldn't finish all of them after devouring the burger. But they were good enough I was still snacking on them while finishing my beer on a completely full stomach! this place is awesome check it out!

    The Family Restaurant - The butter couldn't Melt because the pancakes were COLD

    First off; We have to take some of the blame because we saw the bad reviews, but long story short,…read morewe ended up here. I will say that our server was very nice and good at her job. After that, it's all downhill. When she poured the coffee, it came out like water!! Just so you know I actually like weak coffee- so if I say that it was like water, you gotta know that it was bad! After tasting our food , I ended up asking for the manager. The manager wasn't there, but the person filling in came over to the table. I was very nice because there's no reason to be rude to people. I asked her if she had seen the reviews for the restaurant... she said she had, and that she knew that they were bad. I explained to her that we thought we would give them a chance, but the reviews were spot on and I would be leaving a BAD review also. I showed her that the pancakes were so cold that the butter did not melt and she could see that for herself. And that the eggs and sausage gravy were cold. Health and Safety: Of course cold food does not taste good, but let's start thinking about it with FOOD SAFETY in mind..! Are people going to get SICK if they are not keeping their food at the right temperature according to Health and Safety Standards? The substitute manager took off the price of one meal and the coffee. But she didn't really have anything to say... I would not be surprised if this place closes soon. I'm sorry that we did not just go somewhere else but I guess you live and learn. Stay away from this place.

    The food here is mediocre at best!! Buffet items were limited & lukewarm!!! Watermelon was soggy,…read morenot good!!! Jennifer was an attentive server!! Large clean place with nice decor!! Has nice large booths. Would not recommend this place for breakfast because there are places near by with better value for the money!!!
