Nighttown is my favorite reliable spot.
The restaurant has expanded greatly thanks to Brandon Ring's vision but the atmosphere has not suffered. Live Jazz is what people rave about. I've never been. I have, however, enjoyed countless meals and cocktails, which is just as good as live music to me.
Night town has an unmistakable Irish flair - pints of Guinness probably outnumber all other brews poured. The dishes are expertly prepared and are, above all, exceptionally reliable. Reliable isn't always synonymous with delicious but trust me, I've had "amazing but unreliable" before - we don't want to talk about it. The staff makes you feel like a regular even if its your first time there.
Come by for lunch, you might spot me at the main bar with a pint of the black stuff and a bowl of French Onion soup (one of the two best in Cleveland)
When its cold, you'll be nicely warmed up.
When its hot, you can cool off on their patio.
