    This is the first time I have been to this establishment and it is definitely worth a visit. Reasonably priced drinks and excellent staff. I believe you would call this a dive bar and it is definitely one of the best. I also believe it is one of the oldest bars in Cleveland. I could be wrong there but I think one of my friends said that when we went here. It is right by Nautica Pavilion so I'll definitely be going in the future before a concert. I'm assuming this is also a great spot to watch a Cleveland sports team. I did not try any food and I am not sure if they have a food menu.

    One grabbed drinks before a concert but it was the perfect spot. An awesome dive bar vibe in all the best ways. Fun crowd, great service and prices. Darts and jukebox. All that I need in life.

    No-nonsense long-time bar with no-nonsense drinks, working stiff prices, games, and well-worn bar stools, and a ton of authentic character in an historic industrial building in a current-day entertainment district near the river, concert venues. Cleveland history icon.

    Went there after a 5K race. Haven't been on here in some 40 years. Still a great place. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

    Recommended local dive! Check it out! Not a fine dinning establishment. A place to relax with friends and a cold drink.

    The bartender Tiana served with genuine warmth, owner hanging at the bar with locals, killer intentionally-selected holiday soundtrack on the jukebox, great beer and local color. 10/10 would recommend.

    Amazing atmosphere. Fully decked out with Christmas decorations with an amazing soundtrack. Great spot to hole up and enjoy local beer and local color. The owner was parked at the bar hanging out with locals. This spot is a gem if you’re into that kind of thing.

    It is a nice little downtown dive tavern. It has anything you could possibly want to drink. And if you want to have a hard seltzer they have plenty to pick from. Bartender was nice and they have a pinball machine, a little bowling game and dart boards as well with a juke box on the wall. Great place to stop in and have a drink
