"Definitely a dive bar.Not a "classy or upscale" establishment. Parking is limited. BUT, drinks are cheap, well made, and the food is classic fried inexpensive "bar food". This is a place for locals who don't want to dress up and pay high prices for cocktails downtown. We go here during home games at CSU and order cheap pitchers of beer to share and get excellent treatment by the staff. They really love having CSU students and families come in."

"This was my first time at the Eastlake location. Had a terrific Smash burger with fries and onion rings. Definitely my favorite burger spot. The server was very nice and attentive despite the fact that the bar was full. My only negative comment is that the volume of the music was very loud. Good music but we were right near the speakers and couldn't hear each other talk"

"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!"

"My wife and I stopped here for lunch while we waited on an oil change at our Kia dealer. The fish sandwich was awesome and the staff super nice snd friendly. We met the owner who was incredibly nice snd has great plans to extend the menu; her family also owns Whiteys which is a great place in Richfield. We will definitely stop back."

Lakewood Village Tavern

"I have enjoyed this bar for the last 6 years. It is my home away from home.Along with the amazing food and old school vibes it has an AMAZING comedy scene on Wednesdays, INCREDIBLE trivia on Tuesdays, and ULTIMATE RUSTIE KARAOKE on Fridays/Saturdays!If you're looking for a bar that has that "bar feel" this is the spot. Awesome prices, delicious food, fun, sometimes loud and most of all customer-first service!!!"

Ugly Broad Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18) • $

"This is a Cleveland bar. It's got a pool table, a rottweiler, a country-music blaring jukebox, and regulars who didn't get the memo about the city-wide smoking ban... and I absolutely love it. The owner is a nice lady who sits at the bar and shoots the shit with you for a minute. The rottweiller, Shiloh, is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. If you stick a dollar in your back pocket, she'll steal it and let you chase her around the pool table. [Shiloh's dollars end up in a donation jar to help fight breast cancer.]Cleveland bars are generally cheap, but this one is ultra-cheap. Also it has inexpensive and amazing bar food. We always end up ordering mozzarella sticks in the "keep 'em coming" kind of way. Grab a game of pool or watch a game on one of the TVs.... Play around on the jukebox [which has non-country music too] and marvel at the John Wayne-themed bar [no joke]...All the while not breaking the bank. [$1 Genny cans are the real deal here]. I've gone here with just boys, mixed groups, and just my group of girlfriends and have always been please in every situations. No weirdos talk to you. It's just a bunch of locals trying to forget about the day and I'm happy to join them. It's such a great dive that even the Ugly Broad cartoon mascot [who is REALLY ugly] couldn't keep me away. Five stars!"

Seven Hills Tavern

"5 million kinds of wings.Ok, this is a slight exaggeration. They do have an obscene amount though...something like 50 or so. They run an all-you-can-eat-wings for $6.50 special during the week. Unfortunately, we arrived a little late for that, but we still got some tasty wings. After 6p, they only have limited sauce options, but they did us a favor and whipped up some Hot Garlic Parmesan. Excellent! Lots of huge chunks of garlic.We also ordered fried mushrooms. Nine times out of ten, I am disappointed when I order them at a bar. The pre-fab frozen breaded mushrooms can be downright disgusting and soggy. Not so at the Seven Hills Tavern. These fried mushrooms were some of the best I have ever had! I saw the bartender put some beer in a bowl while we were waiting for our food. I was wondering what she was doing. Apparently, the homemade beer batter is mixed up fresh for each order. They also use really large, whole fresh mushrooms. I would go back just for these mushrooms. I can't say much for the fountain Coke, but at a $1 plus free refills, I wasn't really complaining. You really can't expect a good fountain soda at a corner bar anyway. This little "old man" bar has been around for centuries, complete with wood paneling on the walls. I think the only import beer you can expect to find is Heineken. But what you will find is surprisingly good bar food. I heard the steak sandwich is pretty popular as well. I'm already drooling for more fried mushroom :)"

"Alright so here is the deal... I've been searching for the best service around town, and I found exactly that at frogtown johnnies. Carmen and Bob were by far the best waiter & waitress their. Carmen makes the most excellent popcorn while Bob serves the best alcohol. Thank you will be back"

Backdraft Bar & Grille

"We ended up here as we were looking for a restaurant that wasn't part of a chain. Growing up in the area - I knew it would be a challenge to find such a place. However, I have no clue how the person who picked this found out about it. It is a BAR - not a restaurant. Being a former drinker, I have not stepped foot in a bar so probably 20 years. Prior to that - this might have been my kind of place. The clientele seemed to be older men. Then some younger men came in much later. The bar tenders were YOUNG and scantily dressed girls. Not slutty, just revealing a lot of skin. It was pretty clear we were the ONLY people just there for the food.So we seated ourselves at a table and the bartender/waitress brought us menus - took our drink orders. The menu had a front and back - and thank goodness - a SALAD FOR ME! The offerings were your basic bar food - and then some. Almost like a diner - burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, daily specials and ONE SALAD. The prices were cheap! All under $10.I got the salad and requested grilled chicken be added. My hubby got the burger and fries and his assistant coach got the pork tacos. Bartended did a pretty good job of keeping our drinks filled (although I was the only one with a fountain drink - but I drink quickly). My salad came out first. Hubby said to go ahead and eat (not politely wait for all food to show up) - as I eat slow. So I did. The salad was like a nice homemade chef salad. Iceberg lettuce with shredded cheese, mushrooms (canned), diced chicken and LOTS of croutons. I don't do croutons so my hubby was happy to take them off my plate. In fact, I think he was glad I didn't eat them as the other orders took FOREVER to come out. That was my observation - but neither of the other 2 with me even commented on the delay in their food. So I guess they were OK.The burger was a nice size and properly prepared - but hubby was surprised that there was no lettuce, tomato, etc. There was, however, LOADS OF FRIES. The fries were nicely deep-fried - to the edge of crispiness. Hubby later said he MIGHT have been able to eat all the fries (he did not) - had he not eaten several dozen of my croutons. I am told the pork taco was good - and they provided a to-go container for the extras and the eater can only eat small portions of food throughout the day. The assitant coach picked up the bill for us all so I don't know what the drinks cost. However, the price of food was so incredibly fair - I imagine they are priced well too.So as I started off by saying - this is a bar, not a restaurant. And for bar food - this is crazy good. And fair priced. I recommend you come here is you're looking for a decent meal at a decent price and want a full bar experience to boot."

Mill Tavern

"Always a positive experience at the Mill. They have a long bar for good seating. A handful of tables. They have a few TVs and Keno. Good beer selection, generous pours on drinks, and good bar food. Fish fry was pretty good. Nice portions."

Casey Jones Tavern

★★★★★ 4.6 (5) • $

"I went to Casey Jones Tavern for the second time last night. One of my best friends lives in Lakewood fairly close to this bar, so we decided to check it out!The first time I went I ordered pierogies with a side of sour cream for my friend and I to share. This time I ordered the nachos. I don't know if they automatically come with jalapeños, but I made sure to order some. I love spicy foods!Their drinks are inexpensive and strong, and the bar staff ladies are so friendly and fun! I love chatting it up with them!Both times we went to Casey Jones Tavern it was a Friday, and they have karaoke. The karaoke set up is really fun! They have disco lights and a huge screen that shows the words, as well as a smaller TV for the words that faces the stage. Additionally, they have microphone stands, which is useful because sometimes you don't want to hold the microphone!We'll definitely be back to Casey Jones tavern!"
