Decided to come here before the Pats/Browns game. Great atmosphere. Not too crowded (ESP at 11. Game was at 1). Sat out on their porch. Their macaroni and cheese bites were to die for! Mostly awesome service. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was because one of the bartenders with brunette hair all the way to the right was more interested in talking and taking her shots with her boyfriend, even though I was standing right there wanting to be served. She had a very poor attitude when she finally came around too. I didn't have a problem with any of the other servers, however! Would come here again. Def recommend.
Beer and pizza; you cannot go wrong with that combo. Gillespie's certainly has beer. Beers on tap as well as an impressive amount of bottles, with many labels I've never seen before, facing out from inside the glass fridge. The beer selection was a surprise. Pizza is why I came here. I ended up going with one of the simpler specialty pizzas: Deluxe - pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, onions, green peppers. I loved it. The crust, which I never really eat, was perfectly cooked and seasoned. There was a generous amount of all the toppings too. The base wasn't an extreme thick, but more thick than thin - perfect. They even cooked a really good pepperoni and olive pizza for my friend without dairy. The rest of the place isn't worth talking about really. I like the map theme and the plane hanging from the ceiling. There's maps on the wall and map globes on the ceilings fans. Otherwise it fits the bill for your typical neighborhood bar, though it could use a bit of a dusting, some scrubbing and painting, and sweeping up of cobwebs.
Good place to call home if I lived downtown, ok food, good brew selection. The calzone was very good and the bar maid was friendly.
Says online, including here on Yelp, that they're open until 2:30am. I went way out of my way to come at midnight and they were already closed. Super lame.
As a visitor to the city, we ended up here because we were in the mood for pizza and, honestly, this was one of the only places open on a Sunday night downtown. So happy we came. There were fairly mixed reviews online - I have nothing bad to report. Place is located in what seems to be a new trendy area called the Warehouse District, which looks great. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived so we grabbed a table for two. They had a great selection of draft beer that we sampled. We also ordered a salad, which was as good as one can expect in a bar. The pizza, however, was amazing. And huge. In fact, don't ever plan to get a pizza to yourself because it's massive. We shared and still took home 4 slices. Service wasn't overly friendly but they were attentive and got everything in our order right. Overall, great value for the pizza and beer and a neat place in a seemingly cool area. I would definitely come back to this 'dive bar' again (for the record, I don't think it's a dive at all..)
Tony did a really good job showing customer service here on game 6. Ended up starting a fight with one of the patrons and then ended up approaching another group and threatening them. I'd be terrified to let this guy represent my company in any capacity. Video to prove! EDIT** now I here from other employees and customers saying "oh he does this all the time" "just Tony being Tony" LOL fire this guy seriously if you were smart management LET HIM GO.
I really love this bar. It's a gem of a dive bar in the midst of the club scene of the warehouse district. My favorite things: 1) the pizza, which is always perfect and delicious and has the perfect crust (love the bbq chicken) 2) good beer list 3) random and amusing music 4) perfect place to watch a game, like when the cavs killed the heat tonight It's really low key, and the service can be slow on a busy night, but if you're in the mood for a chill night, it's just perfect.
I cannot believe I've never been here before till yesterday! Where have I been!? Lets talk about the goodness: The pizza. Enough said. That's it, shows over people. The pizza is delicious! I want it now, I want it for dinner and I want it for breakfast tomorrow morning. We ordered pizza to go and had a beer while waiting for the pizza. Our pizza came out before our friends pizza, so I just kept picking at the pepperoni. By the time we left, there was only 1-2 slices that still had pepperoni on them. Oops. The beer. Cold, refreshing and so cheap! Honestly, don't think you can beat the price of a beer from downtown here. The atmosphere. Totally fell in love. Walking up I was a little skeptical, but after walking in and sitting down I fell in love. Honestly, this might be my new go to divey bar. Nothing better than some pizza and beer for a great price.
Why this place rocks my socks: - Damn good pizza (the cheese & crust ugh...drool) - Jackie O's Razz Wheat! - Never fail to run into a Bridgeview neighbie - Chill/laid back atmosphere - Can always find a place to sit - There's a downstairs too! - So much fun during Browns season. Only complaint is that the pizza takes seriously forever to come out and is a bit overpriced (drinks too) but the pizza's so tasty that it makes up for it.
Went by last night to catch the end of the cavs game. It wasn't too busy on a Monday night. The bartender was chill. Got us drinks and food promptly and made some jokes. It was a nice experience. I will be sure to come back more of them when he is working. The cheese bread is the best thing ever. Please don't ever change the recipe because nobody does it like you. Also, thanks for having blue moon on draft.
This place may arguably have the best pizza in Cleveland. Or at least top. Grab a pizza and a beer and enjoy. The crust is always good and the service is usually pretty quick. Also it's a plus that they are open pretty late.
A bit of a dive bar, but fun for what it is. Loud music, good beer selection and casual crowd. Feels slightly like a college bar. Limited food selection, so if you come hungry, make sure you're drunk.
Nice downtown dive bar. Nothing bad, nothing special. They have a nice little patio area outside and decent prices. Probably should be a 3 star, but the customer service was really good so I'll give it a 4.
Such a cool neighborhood bar. Great service, great atmosphere, and great beer and liquor selection (carries Effin Cucumber vodka, Van Gogh expresso vodka, a ton of Three Olive Vodka Flavors, and Seadog Blueberry Beer!)
Maybe the most underrated bar in the warehouse district. Great atmosphere on Friday/Saturday nights - crowded but not packed like a lot of the places on W. 6th. Food is GREAT - particularly the pizza but I've also had some of their sandwiches at lunch time and they definitely did not disappoint. Beer selection is very good and service is fast and friendly. A definite stop for those interested in the downtown Cleveland bar scene.
