Samuel S., of Lakewood, said: "This is one of my favorite places in Lakewood! i love the beer selection and the food is wonderful! I love the wings especially and usually get the beer caps. The patio in the summer provides some of the best outdoor drinking around! When i have friends in from out of town, their Sunday brunch is my favorite place to show off what fun it is to live around here."

15012 Detroit Ave.

Anne F., of Lakewood, said: "Great place for a night out. I recommend going on a weeknight, when it's less crowded, if you want to try multiple games. Little wooden counters next to each machine make it convenient to set your drink down and play a game. Parking behind the building or on nearby streets. Large selection of craft beer, which some unique options."

Humble Wine Bar

15400 Detroit Ave.

Casey R., of Cleveland, said: "It's no wonder this wine bar got "Best Wine Bar" on Cleveland Scene's list! We stopped here on a Saturday afternoon after exploring Lakewood for the first time and we loved it! It was a beautiful day outside so we sat on the patio in the sun. They have amazing long community tables on the patio and several smaller tables in the sun. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful - open air with big tables made from wine crates, a huge bar, and a stone oven! The atmosphere of the place is perfect!"

McGinty's Pub

1955-1999 Bunts Rd

Alicia B., of Cleveland, said: "One thing: half price Angelo's pizzas on Mondays! Which means you can hang out in a chill bar, drink some good beer and avoid the chaos (but still get the pizza!)


We've always had great service and they've always had a pretty interesting mix of drafts! It seems like an especially cozy winter bar -- dark wood, friendly people and locals.

It's become one of our go-to places every Monday."

The Side Quest

17900 Detroit Ave

Kris P., of Independence, said: "I attended a private event at this place a while back. The staff was great. The beer selection was nice, they had some good looking cocktails for those who like that sort of thing. They also have a tone of games that one can borrow and play. What a great concept, everything from fantasy football to Risk. I'll likely be going back."
