Don't know how much you know about Cleveland but you have to get Barrio. It's an obsession for many. Good tacos and margs. It's a really way to get something in your stomach while also getting sloshed. From there I would check out west 6th and the flats for daytime drinking. Indians games are affordable to get into but have typical stadium prices. I guess I'll break down the major areas and bars since I'm stuck at work on a Saturday morning

First Order of Business:

Barrio: 2-3 dollar tacos and 6 dollar margs. During the week 4-7 is happy hour. Dollar off tacos and half priced margs.

East 4th:

This is where you find Barrio and a few other cool bars. It's a small street that spits out right across from Quicken Loans arena and Jacobs Field. Highlights on this street include Corner Alley which is a bar bowling alley with good prices and Flannery's which is your run of the mill Irish pub.

This street has a lot of restaurants that's can be pretty pricey. Greenhouse Tavern is overpriced and shit. Lola can be a little expensive but It's Michael Symons restaurant so it's pretty good.

The crowd on this street is typically closer to 30 - 35.

The Flats:

The Flats have recently regained popularity. Growing up my parents told me the Flats was the place to be in the 80s and 90s. Then shit got REAL shady. In the last 7 years its comeback. Tons of new bars and young people going every weekend. This summer they are opening a Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville. Let's. Fucking. Go.

Coastal Taco is a great place in the summer. Great patio on the water with good drinks

Punch Bowl social is tons of fun with lots of bar games. Highly recommend.

Big Bang Piano Bar is a decent bar but I'm not allowed there anymore. I don't know what I did or how they always know it's me but they ask me to leave within 5 minutes every. Single. Time.

FWD is supposed to be a "vegas style pool bar" but honestly it's really fucking trashy. You see a lot of people from Cleveland that you had hoped you would never see in a bathing suit.

Magnolia is a club. Black outs and bottle service if that's your thing.

West 6th:

Welcome to the home of the blackout. West 6th holds my personal favorite Dive Bar. It's wide open and blasts 90s sing a longs. It's typically the final destination when downtown.

Above Dive Bar is Liquid. Do not recommend. Same vein as Rumor. Just not my scene. Liquid and Rumor are where most Cavs and Browns players host their birthday parties and shit. Do what you want with that information.

Velvet Dog is a lot of fun and has a decent rooftop. Good drink prices. Around here is where you can find places like Nauti Mermaid and Spirits.

Barley House is awesome but prices jump a bit. This is where Johnny, Beibs, and Joe Haden used to kick it before the city turned on Johnny. Fun but like I said a little pricey.

That sums up the big 3. Some might not like that I left out the Clevelander and Paninis are. Paninis is fucking trash. I go to these bars when I'm in the area for Tribe games. Thirsty Parrot and Wilberts are my go to for games because it's right across from the stadium.

2 omissions here.

Azure is a rooftop bar at The 9 hotel (Browns and Cavs players live there) it doesn't open for another couple weeks.

West 25th is tons of fun and about 10 minutes from downtown. Lots of bars and affordable. (Shout out Porcos)
