Ava's Alley

Best local bar in town. Great price for a wide variety of beers and full bar. Good music and the darts are always going. A must stop for localAlways a great stop. You won't meet a nicer or better bartender that Ava. Best pour in town.

Mindy the "bartender" was giving us attitude all night and I don't even know why? Too busy chatting up someone on the other end of the bar and didn't even look at us for 15 mins when we first sat down. The owner was nice, however. Can't recommend.

One of the best dive bars around. Yes the legendary Ava is everything everyone says. Her daughter in law is there most often now and she is just as fabulous. The size of the crowd just depends, but somehow it always manages to be good vibes in this place. The drinks are spot on every time and you won't believe how reasonable. The jukebox (if that's even what you still call them nowadays) has a wide variety of not only hits, but B-sides too. It's important to remember that this is a dive bar. Set your expectations accordingly and you will have a great time. The one thing this place doesn't have is a regular food menu and that's honestly why I withheld a star. They do have occasional food specials and are cool with you ordering outside food and consuming it there. This is a great neighborhood spot in a nice area.

Love it! And very clean, easy parking. Lanny makes a mean old fashioned! Darts and pool to offer. Cool regulars. Worth a visit!

Absolutely wonderful little bar. Ava is the best bar tender around. Good music, awesome drinks, and really good atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a drink with someone you want to chat with or just to have a drink by yourself.

Super clean! Food specials only so no regular menu. Sunday during football season they have potluck so if you are feeling up to it, take a covered dish or some store bought yumminess and have a beverage. Did I mention how clean this place is??

This is a local gem. A nice drink is poured and the conversations are always entertaining! It is a nice rounded crew! Ava is the main bartender and owner where you can see her mostly in the evening hours. The other bartenders are great! You stop by and join the fun with Ava, Tracy, Greg, Michelle, Lindsey, and Ryan and other patrons! Hours: Monday-Sunday, 4pm to 2am**Sunday hours could be earlier depending on football season

Ah. Ava's Alley.Some place I have heard of for the past 10 years. Been close enough to touch the building...but never entered. Then I started dating Ray. Mr. Anti-Douche who loves a local bar. I remember we had first started dating and he says "Let's visit Ava...". Insert my thought "Ava is for real? Is this kid serious?". Thinking-what the hell why not-we go. Like Roxanne. You enter and are greeted by this larger than life person that could easily be in a movie or tv show. Ava. True that if you are not a regular you might not be greeted all warm and fuzzy like. But it doesn't matter. I don't think that's her style anyways. We have been in during the day and evening. No matter who is working-they are always awesome. Grab some popcorn and a stool...oh and a beer. There is a fresh dinner special served daily. And if you want to spice it up there are dart boards and the juke. So don't be afraid of the regulars...or Ava. Go have fun.

I really miss Ava. Unfortunately i moved away from Cleveland years ago but had hoped to come back to see her. Even better when she came into my work and got to serve her at J.Alexanders (also now gone). Hope shes doing well!

It's now called Gilbert's Pack and it's an awesome corner bar. The food is amazing the owner and the bartenders are very attentive and you couldn't be at a better place Our bartenders name was Anna and she was number one. If you are in the area make a point to stop here
