How long are you going to be in Cleveland, and where are you staying?

Here are a few suggestions about local Cleveland eateries, etc. that you could try to patronize when you are here:

A. Go to the Westside Market. Numerous food booths with all kinds of variety and mostly all good stuff.

B. Hot Sauce Williams (I believe it may be on Carnegie)....if you want some true American Soul food or Barbecue

C. The Academy Tavern, on the East Side, East Woodland I believe, fairly near Shaker Square

D. Johnny's Bar on Fulton (there is also a Johnny's downtown...Warehouse district)

E. The Harbor Inn The most Iconic Cleveland "pub". In The Flats, west side. You get everyone from dock workers to lawyers in there and everything in between.

F. Heck's Cafe, Ohio City.

H. If by any chance you are staying down near Medina, The Timber Lodge is the best restaurant near there.

And if you are going to be in the Akron area, check in with me there.

G. The Hofbrau Haus, on Chester, for German

H. Corky and Lenny's East Side, on Chagrin Blvd. Jewish deli.

I. Any one of several Italian restaurants in Little Italy, Mayfield Rd. East side.

J. The Flat Iron Cafe, in the Flats. Frequented by Browns Board tailgators at times.

Three Hundred ISH for return flight 150 for hire car 6 days

That's a pretty fair drive from Toronto to Cleveland. Google says 5 hours.

Rekd Barn has been closed for a long time.

Right there another OHIO based restaurant chain closes for good. When I started at YSU in 1968 it was the only fast food restaurant there, always liked their food.

But I would try and stick with the remaining and established ma' & pa' restaurants in particular the good hunkie and Italian restaurants, some fine pizza and other specialties here.

This thread makes me want to return for a third time! I love Cleveland.

It’ll happen i’m sure just not this year.

I ended up pretty drunk one night and asked a cab driver to take me to a place I could get a late night burger. It was Rally’s which I’ve since learned nobody there likes but I know that at the time it was damn tasty

Dayton was the Red Barn headquarters. When I was in my MBA studies we did a lot on franchises why they succeed and failed.

The one in Ravenna was turned into the truck sales office for the Dodge dealership across the street.

Another one in Stow was an auto parts store on Rt 59, I think it might have been torn down recently.

From what I was told, Red Barns sold alcohol?

Greetings from the UK - browns fans

I am visiting for the Kansas city chiefs game

This will be my first trip to Cleveland

What's the best place to have a few beers and tailgate and talk to fellow browns fans

Downtown Cleveland kind of sucks I'm sorry to say. It's just a hop skip and jump to more happening areas though,Ohio city and lakewood to the west, university circle / Coventry / little Italy to the east, and Tremont to the South are all within a few miles and all more happening than downtown, which is mostly a ghost town after a certain time.

It might’ve been that way in the 1970s when I went to law school there but it’s not that way now. The warehouse District E. 4th St. all those places are hopping at night

I don't think the east side of Cleveland gets enough run.

For my money, a brisk fall night in the E.99th section of town this time of year is lovely.

Maybe some very local zoning thing? Never heard of that.

Why would you need to bring them if you were just basically coming over for a football game? The other Brits that come over regularly do not bring their whole families. Now, if you planned on spending an extended vacation here, sure... but just for a weekend?

You don’t sound too familiar with the mentality of most English women there
