A few months ago, I was waiting for the release papers from University Hospitals and the lunch tray wasn't appealing so I escaped for an hour and went to The Jolly Scholar in search of real food.
Not only did I find satisfying food, but my favorite cocktail and Peter, who took care of my needs and assured me a good time. The bar/restaurant is alive with students (how do they learn full of beer?) and music.
They say they feed the minds of the smartest kids in the world and all regulars graduate with honors! That would have made me a regular years ago.
I also learned they cater at very reasonable rates.
If you're near CWRU and hungry, thirsty, tired or bored, get Jolly and stop by here.
