    Hadn't been here in years. My folks used to bring me here when I was a kid. Much cleaner and nicer than it was back in the early 80s! The food was really good! Wish I woulda taken a picture! The only thing they need is some pinball and video games like they had when I was a kid!

    Love to meet here for happy hour and for Browns games. Hey, might even see a wins some day. A real Cleveland bar, not complicated. Great place for beers and burgers. Fun place for chill folk. Bartenders are aces.

    Great service. And I'm probably more excited than I should be that they offer a veggie basket as an appetizer. The veggie basket is fantastic, It has carrots, celery, red peppers, cucumbers, and a heap of large green olives. The veggie basket and wings are a definite goto option for when we eat here.

    I can't believe that I've never left a review of this place. The Gardens/Dover Dive/whatever you call this just about as good as you can get when it comes to a legacy bar; there is a long history, good food and, an outstanding staff.

    One of the best cheeseburgers that I have ever had. The outside seating is perfect on a nice day. My kids and my wife loved their meal as well. All of the portions are large and the prices are affordable. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

    Friendly service, better than expected food. Can't really expect more from a tavern. Sweet potato fries were as good as they come If I have to come up with something constructive for the owner, it would be that the bathroom deodorizer smell is so strong it reaches out to the few tables nearby.
