  • Buckeye Beer Engine

    15315 Madison Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-226-2337

    The beer’s the thing at this hip-yet-homey Lakewood pub — more than two dozen choices on draft, including what owner Garin Wright calls “breakouts, hot stuff, and things you’ve never seen before in your life.” Still, the food is keeping up , with a satisfying assortment of burgers (including some meat-free variations) as well as salads, soups, and assorted noshes.

  • Burgers-N-Beer

    4027 Erie St., Willoughby Mentor/Lake County

    440-954-7867

    The name says it all at this casual, colorful tavern, where a frosty brew and a half-pound burger will fill you up without emptying your wallet. Beyond the signature patties, served on slabs of garlic-parmesan bread, find a lineup of appropriately tempting bar noshes, including wings, ribs, fries and dogs. And while dessert is rarely a strong suit for taverns, you've got to try the frozen limoncello.
  • Chocolate Bar

    347 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-622-2626

    Imported from Buffalo, the Chocolate Bar is part nightclub, part restaurant. By day, the airy space bustles with lunchtime activity, with diners digging into affordable salads, sandwiches, and entrées. At night, ladies (and the men who love them) pair chocolate martinis with decadent desserts. While chocolate finds its way into all manner of menu items, it's wise to stick to those that come with whipped cream or alcohol.

  • Cornerstone Brewing Company

  • D'Vine Wine Bar

    836 W. St. Clair Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-241-VINE
