  • 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.
  • Elements Bistro on Euclid

    2300 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-802-3131

    Saving students and staff from another semester of sloppy joes and shepherd's pie, this sharp bistro on the CSU campus looks, feels and tastes like an independent restaurant. Featuring locally sourced ingredients, the ambitious breakfast and lunch menus tempt both coeds and the community at large at weekday breakfasts and lunches. Attractive sheltered patio.
  • Finn Cafe

    4641 Broadway Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-713-0090

  • 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.
  • John Q's Steakhouse

    55 Public Sq. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-861-0900

    About as fancy as it gets at John Q's is a 16-ounce strip steak with a coating of cognac mustard and cracked black peppercorns. Other beef entrées — porterhouse, filet mignon, rib steak, and prime rib — are presented unadorned, all the better for you to enjoy their grilled flavor. The sprawling restaurant includes several romantic, curtained booths; ask for one when you make reservations.

  • Karl's Inn of the Barristers

    1264 W. 3rd St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-241-4141

    Cops, lawyers, secretaries, hipsters, football fans, and neighborhood residents — sooner or later, everyone ends up at Karl’s, for the good food, well-stocked bar, and unpretentious vibe. A one-pound corned-beef sandwich is the house specialty; other good bets include the Friday-night fish fry and the well-dressed Snuggery Burger.
  • Morton's of Chicago

    1600 W. 2nd St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-621-6200

    Part of an international group, Cleveland's Morton's does the expected fine job with slabs of beef. Steak choices include porterhouse, filet mignon, and New York strip; prime rib, lamb, chicken, and seafood also put in appearances. Atmosphere is comfortingly retro, with dim lighting, cozy banquettes, and Ol' Blue Eyes singing in the background.
  • Nate's Deli and Restaurant

    1923 W. 25th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-696-7529

    When it comes to freshly made Middle Eastern foods, Nate's is great. Especially beloved for its thick, smooth hummus with a texture like whipped butter, Nate's also makes smoky baba ghannouj, crisp fried kibbeh, and tender, plump meat or spinach pies. If your tastes run to more traditional deli fare, try a king-sized corned-beef or pastrami sandwich. Service is casual and friendly, and the place has the feel of a neighborhood cornerstone.

  • The Nauti Mermaid

    1378 W. 6th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-771-6175

    A laid-back alternative to the Warehouse District's pricey haute spots, this nautically themed tavern specializes in fish, seafood, and plenty of beer, in bottles and on tap. One of downtown's best happy hours.

  • 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.
  • Otto Moser's Restaurant

    1425 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-771-3831

    Cleveland's version of a theater-district deli, this Playhouse Square staple has been entertaining arts lovers and downtown lunchers for more than 100 years, with a cast of soups, salads, steaks, chicken, and stacked-up sandwiches, many — like the W.C. Fields and Fanny Brice — named in honor of old-time stage stars. Dinner hours vary with the theaters' schedules; calling ahead is always a smart move.
  • Prosperity Social Club

    1109 Starkweather Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-937-1938

    Cozy and retro, this former workingman’s watering hole serves up food, booze, and a bowling machine along with the live music. You’ll find locals laying down everything from lounge and jazz to folk and bluegrass.

  • Pura Vida

    170 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-987-0100

    Veteran chef Brandt Evans' Public Square restaurant is a breath of fresh air for downtowners, with a spare decor, an urbane vibe, and rustically refined menus built from local, sustainable ingredients. A stickler for details, Evans pays equal attention to every element of a dish. He does, however, leave room for whimsy, as evidenced by the occasional odd ingredient and deconstructed arrangement. Full bar.
  • Wilbert's

    812 Huron Rd. E. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-902-4663

    Wilbert’s mixes local acts with touring artists trying to get a toehold in town. Blues, rock, folk, indie, reggae, and jam bands all mingle here, so you’re never quite sure what you’ll hear.
  • Winking Lizard

    820 Prospect Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-589-0313
