| - I don't give 5 stars easily as I don't believe in dumbing down the rating system. That being said, this place is quite simply awesome. They are doing the "corner bar and grill" the way it should be done. How should it be done? It's simple: good service, great ambience, a fantastic selection of cold beer; both utilitarian and craft, and last but not least, really good food, sourcing local items where able. I had the Clevelander Burger which ordinarily has a pierogi, kielbasa, braised cabbage and Swiss cheese on it. Unfortunately, it was a busy day (the day after Christmas) and they ran out of pierogis, but the sub of mashed potatoes was still great. The fried pickles are the best I have ever had, hand battered and served with ranch and hot sauce. My wife had the grilled cheese. She said it was the best she ever had. This is a gem in the middle of a working class neighborhood. While you are there, go across the street and tie the "A Christmas Story" house. I strongly urge you to try it.
