| - Me: Hi, I'd like a bourbon and coke, please?
Bartender: Oh, we can't, we're not allowed to sell liquor on Sundays.
Me: ...
My brother: Tremont doesn't have Sunday permits?
Bartender: Yeah, most of the wards in this part of Cleveland don't.
Me: *wards, what is this, jail?* Oh. Huh. Okay, let me get back to you...
I peruse the beer and wine offerings, my head still spinning [*really? No liquor on Sunday?? Sheesh.*] when I spot sangria as a choice. Before I get too excited lest the sangria have whiskey or something else that I'm not allowed to drink in it, I make sure it won't be an issue. The answer's no problem, and he brings it over - I've had better, but I wasn't expecting to get sangria in Cleveland anyhow, and it was pretty decent. I was satisfied, and if the sangria ended up being a no-go, they do happen to have an extensive selection of beers on tap and various wines so it was no big deal. Just surprising to me as an out-of-towner.
The decor is somewhat of a shrine to disco balls - itty bitty ones nestled in nooks and crannies, big huge ones looming over the wooden floors and tables, standard sizes scattered throughout. The jukebox selection was great - all sorts of different genres represented, and my brother the big industrial/goth/noise fan was pleasantly surprised. It appears they offer live music from time to time as well, from looking at the posters in the bathroom. I was intrigued by the bowling machine in the back - I didn't play, but it looked like it could be quite entertaining.
My brother and I split the BBQ rib special, and we both thought it was delicious. The meat was falling off the bone and practically melted upon contact with the tongue, while the sauce was sweet but had just enough kick to stand out. The fries were golden with a nice crisp to them, skin still on. After reading the other reviews here, it sounds like we made a good choice food-wise since I was contemplating other dishes that seem to have been panned here. At $11 or so (a little less than most of their other dishes), I'd say the ribs were worth it, but there were other items on the menu that were priced high enough to where if I had ordered something else and it sucked, I would've been annoyed.
The bartenders were friendly and service was prompt - nice people, chill atmosphere...if I lived here, I could see myself being a regular.
3.5 stars.
