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.
Big Guy's Pizza

2539 W. 10th St. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

216-436-8888

Pizza, Menu

Besides offering the usual takeout options, this storefront pizza palace supplies the eats for Hotz Café, next door’s vintage tavern, thereby solving the problem of how to entertain your buds when the apartment’s a mess and the beer is all gone. For a touch of class, a buttery half-head of roasted garlic sits in the center of all the thick-crusted specialty pizzas. Ribs, chicken and salads are available too, along with bar noshes like fried pickles and wings.
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.

216-458-9225

Cafes, Coffee Shops & Bakeries, Bakery, Quick Casual

Award-winning pastry chef Courtney Bonning branches out into the savory world at this cute-as-a-cupcake café. Like a big-city patisserie, the café is intimate, elegant, and attractive enough to warrant a visit every day. In addition to the delectable sweets, the café dishes up breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch. Quiche of the day, meat-filled Cornish pasties, and a killer Ohio beef burger are just a few of the offerings.

American
Caffé Roma

13000 Lorain Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

216-889-9999

Italian, Menu

The menu’s nothing fancy, composed mostly of pasta, a few sandwiches, a simple pizza, and some pastries. And while the surroundings are clean and comfy, the amenities are homey at best. But when you and a bud each can snare an ample portion of spaghetti with homemade meatballs and share a freshly stuffed cannoli, and still get change from a $20, that’s what we call a bargain. Beer and wine are available.
Carnegie Kitchen & Dining

1332 Carnegie Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-862-6788

American, Breakfast, Deli

Downtown breakfast spots are rare, and handsome downtown breakfast spots with free parking are rarer still. But that's what you'll find at Carnegie Kitchen — along with a value-driven menu with broad appeal.
Chocolate Bar

347 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-622-2626

Wine/Martini Bar, Contemporary, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars

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.
Cleveland Funny Bone

1148 Main Ave., In the Sugar Warehouse Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-696-4677

Arts (General), Theaters, Clubs

You’ll see the big stars at this anchor of the Flats’ west bank, but also no shortage of upstart young comics and the best local talent. A move to the nearby Sugar Warehouse after 22 years in the Powerhouse only bolsters the iconic club’s reputation.
Constantino's Market

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

216-344-0501

Dave's Cosmic Subs

1918 E. 6th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-861-4199

Subs/Sandwich Shop, Menu

As at the other Dave's locations, the decor inside this cosmic sub shop is a shrine to the ’60s, full of rock references, hippie music, and good vibrations. The overstuffed subs rock too, built from top-notch ingredients piled inside a crisp-crusted Italian roll. The place is packed at lunch, carryout is strongly recommended and if you are pressed for time, calling ahead would be a grand idea.

11637 Clifton Blvd. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

216-521-5003

American, Menu

This groovy little diner has grown into a neighborhood magnet, as well-loved for its dinner vibe as for its big portions and reasonable prices. Despite the impressive menu size, the kitchen rarely loses its way, turning out homey faves — everything from fluffy omelets to juicy burgers and tender pork chops — with reliable craftsmanship.
D'Vine Wine Bar

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

216-241-VINE

Wine/Martini Bar, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars

If you can get past the noise and the crowds of young hipsters, you'll discover a handsome Warehouse District wine bar with a large, informative wine list and an ambitious menu of trendy tapas. Of particular note are the menu's 16 horizontal wine flights, a great way to travel through the wonderful world of wine.
Edison's Pub

2300 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-802-3131

American

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.

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.
Grumpy's Café

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

216-241-5025

American, Menu

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.
Gypsy Beans & Baking Co.

6425 Detroit Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

216-939-9009

Breakfast

Globetrotter, baker, and neighborhood booster, Niki Gillota offers a tempting array of edibles, including soups, sandwiches, and freshly made muffins, scones and pastries. Oven-baked chili is a mild-mannered crowd-pleaser, and rich lattes — like the cinnamon-scented “Mexico City” — have earned a following.

3260 W. 105th St. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

216-688-1803

South of the Border

Connected to a house, Tazumal feels homey and relaxed. Service is sit-down, and the one doing the serving is the sweet, matronly proprietor. The main draw is the simple Salvadoran food, punctuated by freshly made pupusas, tamales, and stews. Inexpensive, soul-satisfying, and filling, the fare feels like what it is: home cooking.
