The Porch - Lakewood

This is a fantastic local bar. I've only tried the wings so far, but I've had them multiple times and they've been consistently excellent. They offer daily food and drink specials, and I've heard amazing things about their burgers, so I'm definitely planning to give those a try. Plus, the bar has a fun bowling machine. It's conveniently located within walking distance of several other bars in Lakewood. The private parking lot in the back is also a great feature, making it easy to find a spot without having to hunt for street parking.

This is our favorite spot for affordable drinks and a little keno. They have great wings and classic bar food. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Exercise extreme caution when dining here. I've had to contact them twice over a span of two years because they double charged my credit card. I've also heard similar complaints from a few other customers. It's wiser to spend your money at a place that won’t mismanage it.

If you’re on the hunt for affordable yet fantastic bar food, Red Rose is our top choice. The menu may be small, but it packs a punch, and their wings are among the best I’ve had in all of Cleveland! The service is consistently prompt, even when there are just one or two staff members on duty. I’ve never had a negative experience regarding service, food, or cleanliness, despite it being categorized as a dive bar. Sometimes I hesitate to share this hidden gem, but it’s just too good not to let everyone know about it!

The last time I went was during a Browns game, and the place was packed. There were two bartenders on duty, but it felt like they were more interested in socializing with their friends than in serving customers. When we found out that they weren’t offering kitchen service, we decided to go somewhere else. I didn’t want to wait three hours with no food or drinks. On another occasion, when the bar was less crowded, I still had to signal the bartender for service. As for the food, it's typical bar fare, but not the best quality.
