| - Awesome addition to Downtown Cleveland!
Wild Eagle Saloon is conveniently located right off East 9th St by The 9 hotel. Its a great spot to grab some drinks, food and play some games.
When you walk into the door there is a bar on the left. Here is where you place your beverage order, food order or buy a beer tap card. The cards are used like reusable debit cards except inside of money you get beer or hard cider. There are roughly 20 beer/ciders on tap with a lot of local options. Once you put money onto the card the bartender hands you a glass and you're on your way (the cards are reloadable so don't throw them away). One thing to note: the taps charge by the ounce and do not tell you automatically how much one ounce costs until you tap your card and start pouring.
Food is typical bar with an unique twist. We ordered multiple types of bacon, curly fries, fried pickles and chicken sandwiches and they were all very good. When you walk in, you place your order at the bar and they will hand you a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. Once the beeper goes off you head back to the bar area and pick up your food. It wasn't bad when I went however I can see this becoming an issue once the space has a crowd inside.
There are arcade games on the first and second floors. Including but not limited to skeet-ball, darts, air hockey, boxing, beer pong, and bocce ball. The games are around $1.00 each to play.
The space in itself is very industrial with cement floors, exposed ducts and exposed brick walls. There is also an old bank vault with the door still attached, inside is where you can play skeet-ball. There are high top tables and bar stools scattered around the multiple rooms on the first and second floor with wide open spaces between to linger. There is also a small stage in the main area which will have live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Overall I think this will be a good place to come after work to grab a drink and blow off some steam playing some games. I also can't wait until the weather is nice enough to be able to drink and hang out on the patio.
