They have a great beer selection. They carry Bell's from Kalamazoo, MI, which I love and miss very much. Since they don't stock it anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, I have to satiate my thirst for this lovely potion every time I head home! They had the tasty Oberon Ale on tap. Mmmm, so good. Though what they have on draft is limited, they make up for it with a vast selection of bottled beers.
During my latest weekend visit, I was pleasantly surprised with some good live music. The band played in the front room, right by the bar. It's kind of a small space, and a weird venue to watch a band play, but I spent more time listening to them, rather than watching them. The back room offers a retreat from the loudness of the music, which precludes one from being able to talk to a friend. Plus, there is a small pool table, if one is in the mood to play some billiards. Finally, the large outdoor patio dotted with wooden picnic tables offers a great place to relax during a beautiful evening. If you live in Cleveland, you must enjoy all the patio experiences you can fit into your schedule before the abysmal weather kicks in!
And though I wasn't hungry during this past visit, I have always enjoyed the food at what used to be called the Next-Door Deli.
