Abc the Tavern

Best bar in Ohio City by far. Michelle and Kelsey are GOATS. Good pours, good people, good prices, and BANGING food. The menu is small but mighty. #coolpeopleonly

We were looking for a new place to grab a drink mid week and ABC tavern didn't disappoint! Zach was exceptionally friendly and made the best martini I've had in a long time! The apps were good. We loved the pita chips - they were flavorful and warm! The hummus was just ok. The house made chips were pretty good and seasoned mildly. Slightly undercooked. The French onion dip was heavy on the sour cream and light on the onion mix. We were there for the drinks so we didn't mind that the food wasn't 5 stars. The bar was cozy and the other patrons were nice. It was quiet except for the music. Just what we needed to unwind from a stressful day!

bartender chris is the reason we go here. we eat out at a bar 4-5x/week and, hands down, chris is the best bartender in cleveland. if i owned a restaurant/bar, i would be recruiting him with a lot of money. he is incredibly professional, 1st & foremost, kind, compassionate. he knows exactly when to follow up. i've experienced him having to deal w some difficult customers, and he always does it with grace and professionalism.6'5", charming, charismatic, handsome, professional, hard working, model material. then we have the other 2 bartenders that we've experienced, that are the complete opposite. the one this evening knows us as regulars, doesn't acknowledge our presence, chris did all the work, and yet, the great tip that we leave for chris must be split with the other one. if you get to work with chris, you're lucky. best service easily over summer house, luca, all these higher end places. the impossible burger is excellent as a vegetarian option.

My favorite bar in the world. Very happy they are back open. Miller High Life, a burger, a shot, after a day of drinking at Edgewater, I feel normal again. To quote Walter Sobchak "Some burgers, some beers, a few laughs. Our fucking troubles are over, Dude."

I LOVE THE JERK CHICKEN NACHOS.Absolutely delicious, the green sauce is fantastic. Best $9 you'll ever spend. Atmosphere is okay! Not much room and pretty small. It does have an upstairs that designed pretty cool.

I don't get to Cleveland much, but I'm glad I got to ABC the Tavern last time I was there. Our group of four enjoyed a pre-dinner drink and some shared apps before visiting the Black Pig (another Ohio City gem), then two of us went back after dinner for another drink. It was bloody Marys all around for us, and they were spicy-licious - best I've had in a while. Service was fine, especially considering how packed the place was. And the people watching was great.

Best burger in Ohio City , great drinks, long bar length . Excellent service every time .

great bartenders with great service. i always look forward to seeing everyone, but especially Roe, the cook at abc. he makes great food and has become one of my favorite people. he's working hard every time i see him and is the sweetest person. i'm so grateful for all of the memories i've made at abc. i highly recommend stopping in!!

Great food. Great beer. Great friendly bar staff. Great time! The atomic hot dog was fire!

My 3 girlfriends & I went out in Ohio city on 11/4/2022. We bar hopped and ended up at ABC. When arriving 2 men in security uniforms directed us to have a woman pat us down after showing her our ID. A sexual comment was made to me by her indicating oral sex was going to happen after she took me to a private room. The way she patted me and my friends down was absolutely disgusting. We were groped and assaulted. We walked into the bar and a man saw what these people did to us and immediately freaked out. He said this has been happening all night and that girl doesn't work there. Come to find out the "security" that was directing this woman to pat -GIRLS ONLY- down was your private security and was allowing girls to be sexually assaulted all night. While we were in the bar, the bartender confronted the men and woman outside and told them they needed to leave but they didn't leave and continued to grope girls as they were walking in. We told the bartender again what was going on and he seemed annoyed by our complaints. He went back out and told the woman that was feeling girls up to leave. The security guards kept walking in and out past our table staring us down to the point that we felt we needed to be escorted to a new location due to lack of safety. The security remained working the rest of the night and not much action was done which resulted us in leaving. I'll never come back here.
