Why hipsters give accolades to bars in trendy, upscale areas like Ohio City and label them "dive bars" just because they have a pseudo- atmosphere I'll never understand. Places like Ridewood Inn are the real deal.
Nestled on the corner of Ridge and Snow, it's exactly what you would expect of a nice little neighborhood bar: cozy atmosphere, cheap beers, cheeky yet personable bartender.
The unexpected advantage of this joint is that they have really clean, nice bathrooms as well as amazing food. I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but the pirogies are something Parma can certainly be proud of.
