Close to 7 years ago I was introduced to La Cav. It was really my introduction to Cleveland's nightlife. Throughout the years I've been here with friends, dates, ex's, you name it. La Cav keeps me from being bored - it must be part of it's charm. I could ALWAYS go back for more.
It's dimly lit and underground. It's sexy and swanky and offers a wide selection of wines and beers. (They have a pretty handsome selection to choose from in their beer fridge.) The expert bartenders make great Manhattans. It's not loud - which promises for a great atmosphere to carry on your most intimate conversations!
I'm probably stopping in here once every three months. I came for a gin tasting most recently. The time before I was there to ring in the New Year. They decorated and made the evening feel special by offering champagne and party favors.
The best thing about this place is you can dress up or dress down. You can go for an intimate evening or you can go for a casual drink with a buddy. You're never out of place. You always seem to fit right into the crowd. And there is always some new special drink to try or an old stand-by that's going to be waiting for you.
