The Sand Trap

5 August, 2018 | Bar | By: Mrs Z

There really isn’t much I can say about this place except if you looked up “dive bar” in a dictionary, you’d see a picture of the Sand Trap!  Truly a dark, dreary hangout for mainly the regular after-work crowd and those that just like to sit at a bar.  Now in all fairness, we did […]

Slyman’s Tavern

19 September, 2017 | Bar and Grill | By: Mrs Z

Any of you familiar with Slyman’s legendary corned beef sandwiches will be thrilled to know that you don’t have to travel deep into downtown Cleveland to get one of these monsters……Slyman’s now has locations in Beachwood and Independence that offer more than just sandwiches!  Make no mistake, you can still get these mouthwatering sandwiches (along […]

Johnny J’s Pub & Grille

19 October, 2016 | Bar and Grill, Irish | By: Mrs Z

This Irish-style bar and grille, though not really ‘new’ to Strongsville (formerly Johnny Malloy’s), has been recently renamed and remodeled and is a really great addition to the area.  The inside is really warm and inviting and VERY large.  There is an outdoor patio, and while that’s always a good thing; looking out on a […]

XYZ The Tavern

18 March, 2016 | Bar, Bar and Grill, Bistro | By: Mrs Z

Since this place is located in the Gordon Square District, which is known for its cool and eclectic little places; we had high hopes; but…………were slightly disappointed – just slightly!  They have a very diverse menu, with some unusual offerings, but the dishes we ordered sounded better than they actually were. Mr. Z had what must […]

Cantine Bottle Shop

21 January, 2016 | Bar, Bistro, Wine Bar / Small Plates | By: Mrs Z

I will apologize in advance to those out there who have come to really like CANTINE….we simply are not fans!  Not that we had a negative experience, or that there is anything wrong with it; we just aren’t fans of limited menus and craft beers (ONLY)! We visited Cantine with the mistaken idea that it […]

Town Hall Ohio City

18 January, 2016 | Bar and Grill, Bistro, sandwiches / soups / salads, Sports Bar | By: Mrs Z

If you don’t mind a crowd (overflowing), noise (lots), and waiting (30-40 minutes on a Tuesday); this place is amazing!  Their menu is vast and very interesting; with many organic and vegan choices. I went with the chipotle sweet potato skins and the harvest salad.  Both were amazing and I’d have a hard time NOT […]

Stonebrook Clubhouse (and Driving Range)

18 December, 2015 | Bar and Grill, Bistro, Pub, Steak / Seafood, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

This place may be the best kept secret in the area, because we’ve driven by there many, many times since they’ve been open and NEVER knew it was a restaurant in addition to being a driving range and golf school, therefore I am hoping to spread the word…..Stonebrook is AWESOME! Their menu was a big […]

Fast Eddie’s

6 November, 2015 | Bar, Bistro | By: Mrs Z

Many of you may remember the original Fast Eddie’s of so long ago.  I’m not even sure how long it’s been closed, but we were thrilled to hear it had returned – in Parma no less!  We had been to Pizzeria Cerino’s in Lakewood before they (closed/moved) and were really surprised to see that the […]

Forage Public House

30 September, 2015 | Bar and Grill, Bistro | By: Mrs Z

OK, I have to rant a little here….I’m not quite sure I get this new trend of “farm to table”!  I mean seriously – some folks may care (a lot) about the origin of what they are eating, but frankly I’m not crazy about a menu that, next to every single item, lists the name […]

Prosperity Social Club

6 August, 2015 | Bar | By: Mrs Z

This was a very ‘interesting’ place!  I wasn’t really sure what to expect based on their website, but it gave the online appearance of being more updated and modern.  Such was not the case, but we both agreed that it was a pretty cool place.  The walls were graced with vintage beer signs (Ballantine, Pabst […]
