| - The Verdict: Great affordable place for students to hang out for lunch or after a long day.
The Food: For a bar, they have surprisingly great food! My favorites are the Southwest Chipotle Ranch Wrap and Monterrey quesadilla. The wrap is just a wonderful mix of chicken, bacon, cheddar, egg, avocado, and corn! (I ask for no tomatoes and onions) They have a unique spin on their sweet potato fries, it's sprinkled with sugar and I quite like it that way! I've also gotten wings here (They have all you can eat boneless wings + fries on Sunday for $10!) and they were decently good. They have a variety of sauces and flavors you'll want to try out! I like gold rush and 50/50.
The Extras: Jolly Scholar is inside a building called "Thwing Hall" of Case Western Reserve University. They are located on the right side of the building and have several entrances. You can walk into Thwing Hall itself and then find your way to Jolly Scholar or there's a side entrance on the right side where you'll also find outdoor seating. You don't have to be affiliated with Case Western to dine there.
I took a star off b/c while they do have great food and beer, I had a bad experience with service once or twice (but I know that is not representative of the overall establishment!) Once at a group table, our waitress was down-right horrible. I came late and she saw me sit down and then proceeded to not give me a menu or even ask if I was dining. REALLY?! In the end I had to flag down ANOTHER waiter for a menu and order. But then this new waiter told the original waitress and then through some miscommunication my order was NOT PUT THROUGH. It was after a long wait and lonnggg after everyone else got their food did I ask them where my order was and they're like WOOPS. And don't worry it gets better. One of our friends did not like the nachos she got and wanted to send it back. She tried telling the waitress this but instead the waitress feigned confusion and took the nachos. The waitress then proceeded to ask if anyone else in the table wanted the nachos instead. After multiple answers of silence, one of our friends said "Oh I'll take it I guess". When we got our checks, the order of nachos was now charged on the girl who took the nachos! WHAT?! But you know what was the worst? It was this girl's BIRTHDAY dinner! Also, we got separate checks but the waitress was so lazy she just gave it to one person at the table and left it to that person to give the checks out. And she did the same again when giving our credit cards back. So...you're making our own friend a waiter too? I get that these are students but this is a legitimate job and there is professionalism in service.
Other than the complaints I have about their service, I really do like Jolly Scholar. I think it's fantastic that there's a bar right in a college building and they really do their best to cater to students.They have special deals each day so it's best to check their website (It changes all the time!). As of writing this, their website says:
SUN: All you can eat boneless wings + fries for $10 (If the waiter/waitress doesn't tell you about it, you can just ask them and they'll confirm it)
MON: Football + Brewing
TUES: Trivia Night @7PM
WEDS: Margaritas for $3
THURS: Grad/Senior Happy Hour @ 5PM, Karaoke @ 9PM
FRID: Forties beer for $5
SAT: Jolly Beer Release Party (YEA, THAT'S RIGHT, they make their own beer too!) + Donation night @ 9
As you can tell by now, their vibe is very much "Hang out and have fun" There are students that hang there since they can also use their meal plan. They also do take-out so I usually call ahead to put my order in.
