What a great bar. Total hole-in-the-wall, the kind of place you probably only end up at if you know someone who knows someone who drinks here. We like it pre-Browns games because it's never as busy as all the other downtown bars, & their beer/shots specials can't be beat. Grab a pastrami sandwich & a Genessee & get rowdy before heading over to the game, where everything's notably more expensive. Ontario Street Cafe's servers are friendly & efficient, the music is on-point, & you're within stumbling distance of the stadium. What more can you ask for?
One star off for being cash-only, but this is the kind of place that can get away with it. And hey, that policy probably keeps them from being so crowded, anyway, so I won't complain.
