| - Just wanted to give a quick update on this local bar to reflect my recent experience. The setting: it's November 1st, 2016. The Indians are in game 6 of the World Series. Like probably most bars in the area, just about every seat of the Tradesman Tavern has an ass in it.
I rarely have such good service that I call a manager to compliment, but that's what happened when I left the Tradesman tonight. Even with how packed the crowd was for the game, it didn't take longer than a couple minutes to get a drink and the food orders came out quick, properly, and delicious. I interacted with everyone from the indoor and outdoor bartenders to the kitchen and wait staff and the manager -- I've been to the Tradesman a number of times, and even with the uncharacteristicly large crowd because of the game, the staff maintained a great level of personalism.
Also, I hate to give such a "neg" compliment after such a wonderful experience, but for the occasion I went off my beaten path of my normal salad order from here and happened to add a side of fries - I would have never expected a random little Parma bar to have SUCH delicious fries. Maybe the best I've ever had, even better than some (okay, all) of the fancy schmancy "comes with rosemary and a side of garlic aioli" fries. A new serious -- and given the proximity to my home, dangerous -- contender in my rotation of cheat meals.
I knew Tradesman was a good local bar with good food, but tonight they definitely proved themselves to be great. Roll Tribe, Roll Tradesman!
