| - Johnny Mango's is my favorite place in Cleveland. It is only fitting to write an update, since my first review was almost 5 years ago after I had just moved here.
Since then, I have come to love this place. EVERYONE is friendly. You can go by yourself (as I often do) and not feel out of place. The fellow diners are generally fun; rarely do you run into a-holes. There are so many reasons to love this place, I can't even count them. And I've had to take four freaking stats courses.
It's more than the drinks and the food:
1) It's the chef realizing you've never tried the BBQ chicken and insisting that you share HIS dinner in order to finally try it.
2) It's watching baseball with Jimmy at the bar in July.
3) It's people of all shapes, sizes, colors, sexual preferences, political affiliations and economic standings sitting in one place and talking about the community.
4) It's picking up food to go, and ending up staying there for an hour due to the great conversations and company.
5) It's definitely a place for carnivores, but has the best vegetarian/vegan food in the city. BY FAR.
It's loud, but it's intimate, it's stylish but eclectic, it's got one small TV but manages to be a great sports bar. It's a great, great place on that funky little corner of Cleveland.
