| - I had to break up with Bier Markt, because our relationship was getting unhealthy--it loved my credit card just as much as I loved taking advantage of its happy hour, and I had to play the field for a while. However, I'm beginning to wax nostalgic for those huge red corner couches, the tall, tiny tables, and the menu. Oh, the menu. I love their burgers (one of my favorite burgers in Cleveland), pizzas, and I tried the mussels once and those were good. The pommes frites are amazing. Really, I've liked almost everything I've had there. The only thing I remember not loving were some mixed drinks at happy hour, which were just too mix-y (heavy on the syrup or soda or something). But the beer selection alone is worth it.
It generally has a pretty good crowd, both in the evenings during the week and on the weekends. It's populated by more of a young professional crowd, at least when I've been there. The bartenders/servers are always very attentive and friendly (but not annoyingly so), and the atmosphere in general is welcoming yet somewhat refined. I've been there for catered events and they've put out a really nice spread, and the space is perfect for accommodating several different gatherings at once without feeling overcrowded.
