Bar Cento

1948 W. 25th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-274-1010

Italian

Channeling the spirit of a European wine bar, this funky little spot in Ohio City makes a tasty backdrop for a small but tempting menu of thin-crusted pizzas, house-cured meats, handmade pastas, and some of the best twice-fried, Belgian-style fries you'll ever find on a Cleveland tabletop. To go with, the annotated wine list offers 100 selections, while next door's Bier Markt provides dozens of imported brews.
Barley House

1261 West 6th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-623-1700

American, English/Irish, Italian, Scene Distribution

During daylight hours, this anchor of the Warehouse District party scene masquerades as a simple bar and restaurant. But on any weekend, the place becomes a holding pen for a unique cross section of clubbers, from gel-headed fratsters to hip-hoppers to suited execs.
Blind Pig Speakeasy

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

216-621-0001

American, Menu

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.
Blue Point Grille

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

216-875-STAR

Contemporary, Staff Pick

Well-prepared fresh seafood is the specialty at this beautifully renovated space in the Warehouse District. Don't miss Blue Point chowder or the grouper over lobster-mashed potatoes.

Bo Loong Chinese Restaurant

3922 St. Clair Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-391-3113

Chinese, Menu

Come to Bo Loong to sample some of the city's most authentic dim sum — tiny sweet-and-savory dumplings, buns, and tarts whose name translates as "dot the heart." If you order from the menu, consider the golden, pan-fried noodles, topped with seafood, meats or vegetables. Dim sum is served daily, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bo Loong is open until 2 a.m. on weekdays and 3 a.m. on weekends.

Brasa Grill

1300 W. 9th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-575-0699

Brazilian

If anyone is worried about the state of the economy, you would never know it by the festive crowd of well-dressed hipsters mixing it up inside Ohio's first Brazilian churrascaria. The house specialty is an endless parade of fresh-off-the-grill meats, carved tableside by a crew of peripatetic "gauchos." A meticulously maintained buffet offers salads and more, while elegant, a la carte desserts are worth saving room for.

City Tap Cleveland

748 Prospect Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-696-BEER

Pub Fare/Breweries, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars

The main attraction at this downtown bar and grill is the 40 beers on tap — always fresh, always rotating. To go with, pick the fresh, hand-formed burgers on a pretzel bun. The casual atmosphere includes plenty of TVs tuned to sports, making it just right for a Gateway-district beer break.
Civilization

2366 W. 11th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-621-3838

Coffeehouse/Cafe, Menu

Constantino's Market

1278 W. 9th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-344-0501

Deli

Besides stocking such essentials as pet food and toothpaste, this urbane market includes a big wine department, a selection of food-fashionable gifts, and a well-stocked deli overseen by an in-house chef. Eat-in/carry-out options range from mac & cheese to freshly prepared sushi. For a final taste of something sweet, grab an oversized German-chocolate brownie.

Cowell & Hubbard

1305 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-479-0555

Destinations, European/Mediterranean

This being Zack Bruell's fifth Cleveland restaurant, diners now know they can expect high-caliber service, an interior pulled from the pages of Architectural Digest, and a menu the size of Atlas Shrugged. What Bruell calls "modern French-American" might just as well be billed New Mediterranean, with nods to Morocco, France and Italy. In the end, the food is characteristically Bruellian: tidy stacks of meat and veg resting in an opulent sauce, diamond-cut by the acidity of lemon.
Dante

2247 Professor Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-274-1200

Contemporary, Staff Pick, Menu

At Aureole in New York, chef Dante Boccuzzi snagged Michelin stars two years running. Back home in Cleveland, he has taken over the former Lockkeepers and injected it with a more casual sensibility. Working as he has in Italy, France and Asia, Boccuzzi incorporates elements of these cuisines into boldly flavored dishes like Thai-style mussels, house-made cavatelli and pomegranate-glazed duck. Full bar and wine list.

Flannery's Pub

323 Prospect Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-781-7782

English/Irish, Menu

This Irish bar in the heart of downtown features live music most weekends — primarily singer-songwriters and Irish acts. But it’s best known for having Guinness on tap and throwing one hell of a St. Paddy’s Day party.

4th Street Bar & Grill

402 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-298-4070

American

Noisy and fun-loving, this 100-seat restaurant is part of the Corner Alley complex, a high-energy hangout featuring 16 lanes of bowling and a fashionable martini bar. With cheese here, bacon there, and deep-fried goodness nearly everywhere, spa cuisine this is not. But thanks to zesty flavors and often-imaginative preparation, the offerings still beat the standard bowling-alley lineup by a long shot.

Gillespie's Map Room

1281 W. 9th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-621-7747

Pizza

Filled with maps (of Ireland, Cleveland, and the world), this downtown pub is big enough for the small airplane hanging from the ceiling to fly around in.
Ginza Sushi & Steak House

1105 Carnegie Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-589-8503

Japanese/Sushi, Menu

The little sushi bar that could now tosses a mean lobster tail and steak on the hibachi. Wash everything down with a thimble of sake or a cold Kirin. And save room for some green tea ice cream.
Great Lakes Brewing Company

2516 Market Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-771-4404

Pub Fare/Breweries, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars, Staff Pick

Cobblestone roads lead to the best beers around. The tasting room provides a bird's-eye view of the shiny steel tanks and antique bar that Eliot Ness once bellied up to. The cellar bar is less bright, but even more atmospheric.
