Nosh award-winning food in historic buildings, tip back some craft beers amid a Lake Erie beach party or cheer on a championship team with a hardball of locally distilled spirits. All in Cleveland.

Tabletop Board Game Cafe

Reviewed By thatladyred

I came to this bar while in town for a conference for two nights in a row. It's amazing - they have almost every board game I have ever heard of. Here's how it works: you pay $5 and you can play board games for as long as you want! (Closes 11pm). They have booze and food. It's pretty quiet and comfortable and there are plenty of chairs and good lighting. The staff are super helpful and will help you choose a game, and can even help explain the rules. They have everything from Monopoly, Risk, to Hip Eurogames, to the latest kickstarter splashes and kids games like "don't break the ice". They have improv games and mystery games and war games and cooperative games. They have party games and duel games. THEY HAVE BEER It's flipping incredible If this place was in my town, I would go up multiple times per WEEK.

We had friends in from North Carolina and decided to stop here after dinner on East 4th during the holiday time and wow- is this place so COOL! Excellent drinks, music was fantastic and the vibe was soooo fun! This will be our new place to hangout on date nights or to visit with a group of friends!

The South Side

Reviewed By BeachyKeen68 - North Royalton, United States

I've been to Southside at least 10x and it never disappoints. It's one of the only Tremont restaurants (that I know of anyway) that has close by, free parking in the lot across the street. Pricing is average and portions are decent for the price. I recommend sitting out on the patio, weather permitting. Good beer list. Tonight I had the kale/beet salad which was outstanding. This salad was enough to share with another person considering I also got the Tremont burger. Others in my group got the Dingus and the chicken tacos. Trendy, neat spot in Tremont. Check it out!
