  • Blind Pig Speakeasy

    1228 W. 6th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-621-0001

    The club's logo -- a porker in a tie -- says it all. Down and dirty, but still kind of chic, the large, open Pig caters to an older, rock-oriented crowd, with cover bands. Never a cover.
  • Cleats Strongsville

    15147 Pearl Rd., Strongsville Western Suburbs

    440-572-4772

    A snug little hideaway just behind the Q, Cleats is part of a rapidly growing local chain of sports bars. Wings are the kitchen's claim to fame, but we've got our eyes on the fries — fresh-cut cuties so good, we sometimes order them without the cheese and bacon.
  • Gasoline Alley

    870 N. Cleveland-Massillon Rd., Bath Akron/Summit County

    330-666-2670

    The plastic and neon of the Montrose shopping district are two miles — and several decades — removed from this little roadhouse. But while the Alley's big menu of sandwiches, pizza and salads seems soothingly unfashionable, execution is above average, the car-themed decor is charming, and the attitude is hip.
  • Grumpy's Café

    2621 W. 14th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-241-5025

    A devastating fire put Grumpy’s out of commission for two years, but owner Kathy Owad has resurrected the beloved Tremont café in a cozy new space. Serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekend brunch and late-night weekend dining, Grumpy’s pretty much has you covered morning, noon and night. Expect hearty plates of reasonably priced, stick-to-your-ribs comfort food served with cheerfulness.
  • Johnny Malloy's Medina

    1100 North Ct. Medina County

    330-723-4100

  • The Little Bar and Grille

    614 Frankfort Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-861-2166

    Yup, it's a little bar all right: dim and a tad dingy. But that said, it's worth seeking out for its first-rate burgers, juicy ribs, freshly cut French fries, and a daily "comfort food" special like chicken Parmesan over penne pasta.

  • The Old Angle Tavern

    1848 W. 25th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-861-5643

    The ornamental leprechauns may be suspect, but the rest of the Old Angle is more Dublin than Dublin. Folk and blues musicians play solo by the fireplace hearth at the end of the bar.
  • Pacers

    14600 Detroit Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-226-2000

    Known more for its ribs than its rock, Pacers features DJs on the weekends. A mammoth TV and lots of booths make it a good place to watch sports.
  • Ray's Place

    135 Franklin Ave. Kent/Portage County

    330-673-2233

    Town and gown unite behind the swinging doors of this venerable tavern, where the burgers sizzle, the French fries rock and the beer list goes on and on.
  • Redhawk Grille

    7481 Auburn Rd., Painesville Mentor/Lake County

    440-354-4040

  • Stadium Grill

    8330 Tyler Blvd. Mentor/Lake County

    440-205-4745

  • West Side Market Café

    1979 West 25th St. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-579-6800

    Another changing of the guard has placed this convenient café inside the West Side Market in good hands. Tom Szoradi, veteran chef and owner of the long-running Juniper Grille, has elevated the quality, consistency, and creativity of this breakfast-and-lunch mainstay. Breakfasts are upscale versions of diner classics; sandwiches consist of house-roasted meats atop artisan-baked breads; and fun starters like sausage-studded Hanky Pankies (cheesy fondue) and tempura-fried shitakes kick-start the meal.

  • Whitey's Booze N' Burgers

    3600 Brecksville Rd., Richfield Akron/Summit County

    330-659-3600

    Established in 1953 as a rural roadhouse, Whitey's present-day specialties are booze, burgers, and superlative chili. The cozy atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, although on weekends, long waits for a table are to be expected.

  • XYZ the Tavern

    6419 Detroit Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-706-1104

    Eclectic and affordable pub-style comfort food is the name of the game at XYZ, with great burgers, corned beef and chicken sandies filling the bill. Don't miss the housemade chips and the killer chicken and waffles. More than 70 varieties of whiskey, scotch, bourbon, and rye and a smashing craft beer list make this lively American pub a true neighborhood gem.
