Eastland Inn

Friendly neighborhood pub in an old house in Berea, in a quiet neighborhood about 3 blocks east of the triangle (not too far from the west entrance of the fairgrounds). Bar food, but I have to say that the sandwich I had was well stuffed.Karaoke on the weekend.

Tried Eastland Inn after some recommendations for a fish fry. Apparently they get really busy so you need to make a reservation. We didn't have one so we had to wait about 15 minutes before a spot opened at the bar.It's small inside with not a ton of seating.The staff works together versus having their own tables so we got asked questions multiple times a lot.Food was good. We had the perch dinner which came with soup or salad, fish, fries, Cole slaw and roll. Perch was well cooked and not greasy.Also opted for pierogi dinner which came with soup or salad and tried the French onion soup. Soup had good flavor, but was a bit salty. Pierogi were good.

Fantastic little place. The building itself has a neat history, being a former brothel way back when. It looks like a house when you drive by. Seating inside is a bit cramped if you don't get a spot at the bar as the tables behind the bar are very close together. Beer and drink selection are great. I have yet to dine here, but the general opinion is that the food is top notch. Very friendly staff and locals. If you want to go where the neighborhood folk go, this is the place. Unpretentious and cozy!

I finally found my favorite local place. Staff is extremely nice, and best if all, they have THE BEST wings around. Highly recommend this local gem.

Rough night. Not good. Famous dive bar pop in for a drink if u can get a seat. Usually if it's not good I don't write at all but hey. 2 stars at least the bartender was trying.

Excellent staff, good food and atmosphere! Their wings and fish fries are the best when you can get in

Is it a Berea staple that's been around 40+ years? Yes. Is it fancy? No. Does that matter? No. It's not fancy (but many updates have recently been completed), but it's consistent and you know what you're going to get. They have rotating drafts and daily specials. When we were there it was $6 pitchers and wing night (10 for $10). They also have themed trivia nights on Tuesdays. My favorite thing on the menu is the patty melt (seems like fewer and fewer places offer them!) but on my last visit I got the chef salad which was delicious. The updates I mentioned include a small patio, adding additional parking, new tables and chairs, and generally improving the appearance. I've been coming here literally my entire life, and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.

Took my wife there for her birthday lunch on February 6th 2025. The bartender Rob I believe that's his name was awesome. Great guy. I had the perch dinner which was amazing. She had the muscles which were outstanding. The soup was clam chowder. I've eaten a lot of clam chowder but this recipe is out of this world. Highly recommend you check it out.

Best fish dinner I've had anywhere. Perfect perch filets, with a real nice breading. I also had the cup of clamping chowder and it too was excellent. Plenty of clams, potatoes, and great taste. Waitress was also skilled at her craft.

Giving them a 5 for the Lake Perch. Outstanding. Service that night was OK.I am a retired restauranter, chef, cooked lots of perch in my time. Great value too, dinner was big, fries, slaw AND salad.
