What makes Cleveland sports bars stand out from the rest? Is it just the lake effect or is there more?
It’s WAY more than the lake effect! We’re talking die-hard fans, a blue-collar spirit, and a love for our teams that runs DEEP! Plus, you gotta try our local grub – pierogies, Polish Boys… Need I say more?
Where can I find the biggest screens in Cleveland to watch the game? I need to feel like I'm RIGHT on the field/court/ice!
For the ultimate viewing experience, head to the downtown area near Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Some of those spots have screens that are bigger than your living room (and mine, too with my best friend… an enthusiastic CLE supporter whom I support as It suits my Boston roots)!
Got any patios or outdoor spaces so I can soak up some sun while cheering on the Browns?
You betcha! Plenty of Cleveland sports bars have awesome patios where you can enjoy the fresh air, cold drinks, and a game. Perfect for those (rare!) sunny Cleveland days! (I went to school in Pittsburgh), so there’s LOTS of rivalry.)
How much cash should I expect to drop on food and drinks? I want to budget wisely, but still enjoy the Browns game!
You’ll find options for every wallet! Expect to pay around $18−30 for an entree, $14−26 for a local brew, and $16−25 for a cocktail. Check out the happy hour specials for extra savings!
Can I legally bet on the Guardians game while I'm at the bar? Is that a thing?
Sports betting is becoming more common, so many Ohio bars have partnerships with betting apps. As long as it’s legal in Ohio, you might be able to place a bet! Always bet responsibly, of course!
Any recommendations for family-friendly sports bars where I can bring the kiddos?
Absolutely! Check out the spots in the suburbs like Strongsville, Westlake, or Beachwood. They tend to be a bit more relaxed and have kid-friendly menus.
I'm heading to a HUGE Browns playoff game! How early should I arrive to snag a good seat? I don't want to miss a thing!
For playoff games, get there EARLY! Like, at least 2-3 hours before kickoff. Seriously. Those seats fill up FAST. Bring your patience and your loudest Browns gear!
Besides downtown, what neighborhoods have awesome local sports bars? I want to avoid the tourist crowds!
Head over to Tremont, Ohio City, or Lakewood for a more local vibe. You’ll find some hidden gems with great beer selections and passionate fans.
Can I reserve a table for my entire crew? We're a pretty rowdy bunch!
It’s always a good idea to call ahead, especially if you’re with a big group. Some places might take reservations, especially for special events.
What's the dress code? Can I rock my Bernie Kosar jersey?
Heck yeah, you can rock your Bernie Kosar jersey! Come as you are! Cleveland sports bars are all about comfort, camaraderie, and cheering on our teams! Go Browns!
