Cleaver is overall one of my top 3 favourite places to grab a cocktail on any given evening. Cleaver is great for a casual hang out, girls night, or an intimate date. It's pretty small space though so you're basically shoulder to shoulder with other diners.
The cocktails are crafted with care, and the food is rich and delicious. They have a very large selection of drinks and cocktails, so there is something for everyone! The G-spot, randy granny, immigrant, slap your mama...with those names it's hard not to have a good time. I also think the happy hour is one of the best in the city.
My only problem with Cleaver is that they really need to make the patio first come first serve. The last time I was there they had some weird wait list with people that were not even at the restaurant.. and the patio seats were empty for at least 30 minutes.
Besides the seating woes, Cleaver gets a thumbs up and I'll continue to recommend Cleaver when friends are looking for somewhere to go!
