to keep it short and sweet.....appetizers and food very average to below average. i would come here to just sit at the bar, kick back a couple of beers and take off......service, food and atmosphere is not memorable........too many other better choices in cleveland, plus is this REALLY an irish pub???? vegan teriyak stirfry noodles on the menu???? REALLY??????
Review Source:This is going under my Fish n Chips list so this review will follow the format described above.
1. The fish. Â It was a decent portion size (three good sized filet) and it was white fish which I assume to have been cod. Â 5 stars for that.
2. The Batter. Â This was a near miss. I liked it, it was light and crispy, not too oily and didn't come sliding off the fish after the first bite. Â The problem was that it was cooked beyond golden. Â It was quite brown. Â It was still pretty tasty so I'll give it 4 stars.
3. Chips. Â These were good. Â They was a sizable portion, cooked perfectly and lightly salted. Â Nothing exceptional but very good. 4 stars.
4. Â Accompaniments. Â Very good cole-slaw. Â Cool, creamy and delicious. Â Tarter sauce was also cold and creamy. Nothing fancy but plenty of it. Â There were 2 good sized lemon wedges and a bottle of malt vinegar on each table. 5 stars
5. Â X Factors. Â To be honest, fish and chips is supposed to be sort of workman's fare. Â I found $15 a little steep for fish and chips. Â Also, this is an Irish place, they ought not to have overcooked the fish at all, even if it was only slightly. Â 3 stars.
Let's see, I'm gonna do some calculations here. Â That makes the total a respectable 4.2 stars which according to elementary school mathematics I must round down to 4. Â Good but not perfect.
Having lived in Cleveland my whole life, I had not been to the Harp til last Friday. And boy was I missing out.
The drinks are reasonable, the food is great (I had a Boxty which was delicious and my date had the "best clam chowder ever!!" (New England that is). And the artichoke dip was great, big chunks of artichokes in it).
Also, the wait staff was great. Seated immediately on their patio (with a great view of the lake). Our waiter was very friendly and joked around with us.
Overall, a great experience and I will certainly be back!
We stopped in after the burning river fest for dinner and we sat on the patio, which is a must if you have not done so. Â I chose the Rib Eye Boxty and I would definitely get it again. Â The view was great, food was solid and a very healthy portion. Â The prices are great and I highly recommend you give this place a try!
Review Source:I'm only giving this 2 stars (instead of one) because at least they DO offer gluten-free (GF) options. Â However, GF bread is 75 cents extra. Â Come on--GF bread isn't THAT much more expensive than regular bread. Â As is common with GF dishes in restaurants, the portions are smaller...for more $$. Â The GF caprese sandwich was small. Â I haven't seen the "regular" caprese, but I suspect it's much bigger than this. Â I asked for slaw as my side, and got a portion about 1/4-1/2 cup size. Â Really? Â How expensive is cabbage? Â Oh yeah...it's not. Â This meal looked tiny on the plate. Â When I was done, Â I realized, wasn't there supposed to be pesto on this sandwich?
I ordered a hard cider with this, and the bill came to $18, including tip! Â For an appetizer-sized meal? Â An hour after I got home, I was hungry again, and I'm a woman (and not a big woman)--it doesn't take a lot of food to fill me up. Â Will I go back to the Harp? Â Only if someone treats me--I'm not handing over any more of my money.
My daughter and I recently had lunch at The Harp. We sat out on the patio which was lovely because it was a perfect spring day, breezy and sunny, not too hot. The view was eh...freeway, industrial. Too bad. Cleveland needs to take make an effort at beautifying our shoreline. Anyway, she got the grilled salmon sandwich on focaccia and some sort of aioli which she loved. I had the rib-eye boxty which I delicious. Forgot to mention, bread brought out before the meal was really good-some sort of irish soda bread and I believe it was onion focaccia. Also had a beer concoction, Â Peach Shandy, which was lager, peach vodka and lemonade. Wasn't super cold, but it was very tasty and fit the relaxed feel of the day.
Review Source:This place is low-key, fine sized beer list, with pub food that really isn't pub food standards (in a very good way!).
I liked how mellow this place was in Ohio City, and yet if you had some people to hang out with you could kick it at the bar just fine.
They don't have a ton of beers, but they have the beers that are worth having anyway.
Looking at the menu I was having trouble deciding on what to get, between fish dinners and their famous boxtys. I'm glad I went away from the fish because the steak boxty was incredible! Steak, onion, peppers, and that cheese sauce that they put on it is light, yet flavorful. I finished the meal with another Dogfish head 60 while my brother got their massive Guinness Sundae.
To note about the menu: Maybe it's been awhile being back in the hometown, but damn it's cheap for quality food!
I think if you are in the mood for some bar food, that's a huge step up from any bar in Ohio City, go here. It's a great place to start a night on the town.
My teeter-totter relationship with the Harp is still going. And the Harp for me is a solid 3.25. Here's why:
Things I love:
- The patio
- The view of both the lake and Cleveland's skyline
- The warmth of this place
- Beer list is A-OK!
- Live music
- It's usually pretty low-key on weekend nights (not crowded like W. 25th)
- The lamb meatloaf: OHMYGAH, this is some good stuff right here. Good as in, I could eat it multiple times a week and not get sick of it! Tender, moist, flavorful and served with green beans. So delicious.
Things I don't like:
- inconsistencies in both service and food
Here's the deal--Before you go here, read the reviews. See what the Yelper favs are and stick with those. If you're going to order a salad, I'd steer clear of the crab cake one, but the side salad is large and very fresh (no ice-cold, I just took this premade out of the refrigerator stuff). Main courses to try would include the lamb meatloaf and the boxty variaties, and other traditional Irish selections. That's what they're known for!
Unfortunately I have to downgrade my previous review for several reasons.
1) It was sprinkling when we were seated on the back patio. The waitress offered an umbrella, but our waiter came over and informed us that they can't use the umbrellas or they'll blow away. It was not windy, and if you can't use them on a still evening in drizzly weather, why do you have them at all?
2) This time, when I ordered the Pretzels and Beer Cheese dip, there were very few pretzels, especially for the price of the appetizer. They OFFERED more, and an extra handful of pretzels translated to $1.50 on the bill. Seriously?
3) My boyfriend clearly ordered a cola, and the waiter brought him water. At least he wasn't charged for the pop.
4) My salad not only lacked fresh texture, but also lacked fresh flavor. It wasn't good, and when the waiter retrieved my almost entirely uneaten plate, he didn't ask how it was, in which case I was prepared to say "not good."
The patio is still nice, but the mediocre service and mediocre food made for a mediocre experience, at least for me. It took me a year to get back when I liked the place, so don't expect to see me next year.
Absolutely beautiful location as far as a view of Cleveland goes. They have a lot of different beers on tap which is nice of you are looking to try something new. The service was pretty good, everything was on time and our orders were all correct. I got the sheperd's pie and my friend got the salmon boxty, both were terrific. Highly recommend this place. The only issue I had was parking.
Review Source:The Harp is a great restaurant, I had my wedding rehearsal dinner and everyone was very happy with the food. I've been back a number of times and it's always been good.
Their shepherd's pie and fish and chips are both fantastic and priced very reasonably ($12.95 and $13.50 respectively). They excel at their British/Irish dishes, I can't really comment on anything else. The shepherd's pie is probably my favorite. The meat is very high quality and their mashed potatoes are great. They bake it so that it's just lightly brown on top. Looks and tastes great. Their fish and chips, they give an enormous amount of fries, enough for two people. At least you can have leftovers to heat in the oven later. The fish is crispy on the outside as it should be and you can tell it's a good quality fish.
Their beer selection isn't anything to write home about, but then again, it doesn't try to, it just has your basic Irish beers and some Great Lakes. Nothing to complain about, but if you're looking to try a new beer, you probably won't find one here.
The atmosphere is something The Harp excels at in every way. The tables are beautiful. No wobbly tables here, just thick, solid, hard wood. I love how on the inside there is a small elevated area and there are plenty of windows to enjoy the nice view. Even though it's next to highway 2, you can't hear any of the cars inside. Great! For the nice weather, there's a great porch that has a mix of the lake and industry in view. Definitely a very Cleveland-like view.
Come here with family or friends, it's a relaxing, friendly environment and the prices are great for the quality.
Been here both for St. Paddy's Day craziness and to eat with the family over the holidays.  The Harp is in the top tier of Irish bars for me.  Good beer selection, and the food is definitely about 3 cuts above the average "bar food".  Or to put it another way, they serve a lot of the same things you expect to find in an Irish bar, but better.  When I eat at an Irish bar, I generally avoid all the things on the menu I don't expect/ don't want to see on the menu at an Irish bar, such as pierogis, which are not Irish, and salads, which are not what I want to eat at a bar with my beer.  The Harp has got  the best shepherd's pie I've had anywhere, and some of the best fish and chips I've had this side of England (seems like it's actually fried in oil and not warmed up in a microwave! )  I took my old Irish parent (a notoriously picky eater) here and she cleaned her plate - I was amazed.  But it really is that good.
Just one warning, bring your appetite. Â The portions, especially for the non-sandwich entrees, are definitely super-sized. Â I ordered the boxty appetizer and it was big enough to be a whole meal in itself.
Nice views of Cleveland if you sit in the windowed section, though the fireplace section with no views is also very cozy in winter. Â Waiters and staff are just the nicest people, and I don't even personally know any of them. Â Ample parking most of the time, and even on crazy nights like St. Pat's you can probably score a spot at the deserted business parking lot across the street (just watch your back and your purse, since the Harp's block is fine but some of the surrounding ones call for caution). Â On certain nights, the Harp also books some fine Irish music as well as the awesome local Pogues tribute band, The Boys From the County Hell. Â Love the Harp, we just wish we lived closer to it and could visit it all the time!
I have been to the Harp many times. Â Good location (kind of set off from the annoying Ohio City and Tremont traffic). Â Food is good..but I see them getting away from the actual IRISH food. Â Its slowly becoming a Cams Corner Irish bar I feel (poseurs) ....I used to like the Irish Fry..dont see it on menu anymore! Â If I want panini sandwich, calamri or pesto pasta Ill go to an Italian place! Â So many places in Cleveland are doing it like this...sure they have Guinness and shamrocks on the wall...but where is my curry chips, HP sauce and mushy peas??!! Â They do have good live music (boys from co. hell). Â They charge a cover and it can get super annoying and packed. Â The price of the drinks is kinda high as well. Â For someone like me who has 2 pints before my food comes I spend more on beer than my boxty! Â Ill be back though! Â Slainte!
Review Source:We visited The Harp while on a three day trip to Cleveland. Met up with a friend from the area, and she recommended this place. Although it was a Friday evening, around 6pm, it wasn't overly crowded, and the atmosphere was lovely. I loved the booths, they were super comfortable, as well.
The bread they brought out prior to the meal was very good. I'd never had Irish Soda Bread before. I'm a fan! I ordered the Spicy Grilled Chicken Sandwich with the hand cut fries. The sandwich was VERY spicy, so if you're expecting just a little kick, I'd go elsewhere. I really enjoyed it, though. The fries were excellent.
I would definitely return if I make it back to Cleveland in the future.
Been here plenty and never seems to disapoint...Went with the mouthbreathers I work with for lunch Friday and we all enjoyed our entrees...
Not much else to say when things are done right!
Although my one work buddy did order his sammy with no cheese, it did come out with and that was the only low side to an otherwise perfect day on the patio....
Love The Harp!!!
Great patio. Â It's huge, so generally you don't have to wait long to be seated. Â The food was solid, definitely not your usual bar and grill fare that comes frozen and premade. Â Potato pancakes, reuben, sheperd's pie... all delicious. Â Some people complain about the surroundings, such as a little noise from the shoreway. Â They're just not being reasonable, you have a beautiful view of the lake, the Rock Hall, downtown, and your meal is running you $10-20, with most options in the low teens. Â Where else can you come close to this experience in Cleveland at this price point? Â They could probably raise their prices 50% and still pack the place on a Friday night. Â But again -- I don't feel they are selling on price -- the food quality was very good.
Update 7/19/2012:
Went there last night for dinner. Â This was the second time in a row that service was poor so I felt I had to edit this review. Â Once our order was taken, we didn't see our server again till about 10 minutes AFTER everyone's plates were empty. Â (They had kitchen staff bring out the meals as is customary these days, and one time someone came by offering drink refills.) Â I understand that servers go on their dinner breaks, but then whoever takes over for that person needs to pick up the slack. Â Management needs to monitor this better, recurring 'fair to poor' service is starting to sour my opinion of The Harp. Â Food and atmosphere continues to excel.
The Harp has a fabulous patio. Overlooking the lake it is the perfect place to spend a casual summer evening (you know...when the weather is just too perfect to stay inside!)
I'm not normally a huge fan of Irish pub-type food but I will say that the food here is great. The boxty cakes are worth the trip alone.
Some restaurants serve only food. Some also serve atmosphere. Harp does both. Tasty, unique place feeds both hip tattooed crowd who probably walked here from Tremont or Ohio city in conversers and very respectful salt and pepper-hair business-conservative crowd who consider themselves Irish. Outside of both groups, I had a great time and amazing food. I liked the creative approach my calamari were served and the main dish ( steak boxtie) was simply to die for.
So don't waste any more time reading this and go have yourself a boxitie, mate!
I like this place. Â The bar is great. The beer and whiskey selections are very good. I love the decor , the patio and the stained glass window. The food is really good. Try the boxy. Awesome. Â The service is spot on.
I typically buy a loaf of soda bread, too. This stuff is addicting.
The Harp is a good place to get a sandwich or a breakfast either of which is better with black Irish beer.
I have been to the Harp for breakfast and I got eggs and other interesting breakfast fare including black blood sausage. If I were cool I'd tell you that I ate the blood sausage like Anthony Bourdain eats the ass out of an ostrich but in fact I didn't even try it. I didn't even give it a chance because it is oats soaked in blood, simmered in water and sliced thin.
You know what? I am proud that I didn't even try that blood sausage. I am glad that I just stabbed it a few times and let them have it back.
It is gross to eat blood and guts and offal and I can afford not to eat that kind of shit. The reason that Irish people ate this back in the day was that they couldn't afford not to. Ditto that nasty tripe soup at this pho and that pho. I'll bet that the guy who runs the Harp meets with the guy who runs Superior Pho for lunch and they get a Moxie burger and an over-priced Brooklyn Lager. Good for them. They can afford to eat better.
The eggs at the Harp are good and the bread/toast is good stuff too. The sandwiches are great for lunch and you can sit out on the patio and eavesdrop on the bank cubicle people celebrating Jo-Ann's birthday. They drive out from downtown every day. I like them. Sometimes I wish I were one of them. I have had a lot of sandwiches at this place and I can tell you, if you are hungry, you will be happy with what you get.
I always get a Guinness at the Harp because Guinness is good and they do a good job keeping the keg lines clean so you don't get that Lake Erie smell with every sip. Guinness at the Harp seems better somehow. Especially in the morning. They don't act surprised that you want one. And you do want one. Hell, that's why you're at the Harp whether you admit it or not.
You can see Cleveland Browns Stadium from the patio which is cool.
I like this place and you will too as long as you get the Guinness instead of the Iced Tea. Don't get the Iced Tea because this is an Irish pub. Show the place some respect.
I enjoyed the atmosphere of The Harp right when I walked in! I loved the wood paneling (?) and the Celtic/European feel of the interior. They clearly have a great draught selection and the post-work crowd seemed to be really enjoying themselves.
We chose to be seated outside since it was a nice day. We were hoping to get a great view of Lake Erie. Sadly, there isn't that great of a view with salt mines, highways, and watertowers all around. Oh, industrial Cleveland. We need to work on expanding our waterfront... for humans, not machines.
Friend ordered a black and tan-ish drink -- cider and guinness. I tried it and it was great. I'll probably order it when I go back.
I ordered a vegetable boxty, a more traditional Irish meal. It was huge! I saved half for lunch the next day. It's what I imagine Irish food to be--filling, compact but somewhat bland. It was also a little pricy for what I got. Maybe next time I'll get the salmon boxty to make it worth it, and to have a little more flavor.
We shared the guinness ice cream for dessert. Satisfying and sweet!
Service took a little long, but it was decent and friendly.
I think it's a great pub, and I'm sure it's really cozy in the wintertime. I would definitely love to come back but I don't think I'll be super regular.
I'm going to start this review off with dessert, because the Guinness ice cream sundae alone is worth a visit to The Harp. Â This was easily the most amazing sundae I've ever had in my life. Â The Guinness ice cream was delicious by itself, but they mix in candied pecans and caramel sauce topped with brownie pieces and then cover the whole thing with a mountain of whipped cream and hot fudge sauce (see pic). Â Save room for this unbelievable dessert. Â
The Harp also has a great atmosphere. Â Sit on their beautiful patio if the weather is nice or enjoy the murals on the inside walls. Â They have a pretty large menu featuring traditional Irish fare along with salads and paninis. Â I decided to try my first boxty and went with the vegetarian. Â The boxties are covered with a rich but not all that flavorful cream sauce. Â I ended up dipping mine in ketchup, which I'm guessing is not how the Irish typically do it. Â
Unfortunately I had to deduct one star for service. Â We'd been sitting there a while before someone came over to take our order and in general the service was just slow. Â If you're not in a rush, the food is worth waiting for.
This is one of the first restaurants we visted when we were moving to Cleveland. It was wonderful and we came back several times. Unique, delicious. A few months ago we were on the west side and stopped in for old times sake. We had just sat down and gotten bread, I got up to use the ladies' room. The whole restroom was crawling with flies. Literally crawling, not moving too fast, seeming to be coming from a drain in the floor. What the hell? You mean the staff washes their hands in here?
Well, we hightailed it out of ther - last time we ever visit this place. We didn't even stay for dinner, it was just too gross - luckily the service was super slow so the server hadn't even made it back to our table yet.
I've ended up at the Harp more than a few times over the many years I've lived in Cleveburg - I'm kind of a sucker for any place I get get Guinness. If you haven't caught a glimpse of the restaurant as you zip by on the shoreway then you must be paying attention.
The atmosphere is jovial and the decor is quite fitting. The food is, naturally, Irish inspired.
While I was impressed at first, it seems that either the quality has diminished over time or my expectations grew.
I admire any restaurant that gives wait staff freedom to say "I'm sorry but we messed up your order and we want to do it again but it will take a little longer" over the kind of place that brings out what even they must realize is a hastily prepared meal hoping that I don't notice. Lately (Mid-Late 2009), the Harp has fallen into the latter category.
I will give it one more chance in a few months, hoping they were going through a rough patch and revise my review when it happens.
This is the Irish pub to go to in Cleveland. The atmosphere is lively, particularly when they have a live band in. The decor is fairly well in line with what you'd find in Ireland (at least as close as you can get in the States).
The signature dish are boxties, which consist of two potato pancakes sandwiching a pile of meat and veggies. The corned beef boxty is the one to have, because this is some of the best corned beef in the area.
Until recently, we would have given the Harp props for great fries. We stopped in this week, however, and were disappointed. They just weren't the same. Hopefully it was just an off night. It's also possible that there has been a staff change of some sort - mort than half of the entrees on the menu said 'new.'
Be sure to try the complimentary soda bread before the meal. Another good choice for a starter are the house-cut potato chips, served with generous portions of ranch and blue cheese dips.
If you can, save some room for Guinness ice cream.
Check the Indians schedule, find a night with fireworks, and sit on the patio around the right time to watch the show after the game. It's a great view of downtown, and there's usually a breeze from the lake.
Note that the Harp has two small private parking lots - one on either side of the building. So before you bail out and start scrounging for a street spot, check the other lot!
People are a little harsh on this review. Â I think the Harp is a great place. Â It actually turned me on to corned beef (something I previously hated). Â For real, the cored beef is excellent.
The boxty is good too, I do get upset that they don't have a boxty appitizer. Â The side order of boxty does not cut it, they need some crisp boxty slices for an ap!! Do you hear me Harp? Â You lose a star for that. Â
The patio is nice and contrary to a previous review, they do have traditional Irish bands. Â This is in the evening, appearantly not for lunch. Â
Either way, The Harp is worth a shot.
I retract my previous conclusion that I was somehow sickened by the food at Harp. Â It just so happens that I acquired a week long flu and the horrid, sudden onset of said flu occurred within minutes of me arriving home from Harp.
So-- I love Harp. Â The atmosphere is lively. Â The food is good. Â The music is brilliant. Â Good craic!
This is my  favorite first date spot in town! The server knows my name (that is supposed to be a hint at how many first dates I have been on). Anyways, it is low-key and classy all at the same time. You get a sense that you are going to get a quality experience when you step into the Harp.
I like that they serve hard cider too.
Just left The Harp after taking a recommendation from an ex-pat from the area. My review? Meh. But then again, I find most Irish pubs to be that way.
Since I'm a beer geek, I'll start there. Sucks. Simple enough. Nothing exciting for my palate. Again, I've come to expect that from an Irish pub. Please, something other than Guinness? Yeah, I know it's incredibly popular. But so is Budweiser. Doesn't make it any better. There are plenty of great Irish craft brews that could have been on the menu.
We ordered their signature Irish pancake dishes, which had a name that I forgot. The taste was OK, but nothing special. Sure, I ate it and didn't complain. But I was hungry. Having it hotter than "warm" would have been nice. And it's not like the place was all that busy. Guessing that it is what it is.
Will I be back? Probably not. But then again, I rarely visit any Irish pub more than once. Have yet to find one that sets my soul afire.
My girlfriend and I ventured to The Harp last night for the first time. I have driven past it many times, but usually on the way to a bar or other restaurant in Lakewood. Â We had a fabulous time. Â
The draft list is predictable given the Irish theme, except for the Heineken on tap, which is a bit unusual to find anywhere. Â We had an excellent crab cake appetizer and ordered entrees from the Boxty Cakes section. Â The Boxty Cakes are potato pancakes filled with all kind of goodness. Â My girlfriend got the steak boxty and I got the corned beef boxty. I would recommend either.
We finished with an Irish coffee that was delicious.
The Harp has a nice atmosphere (especially given the location). Â There is a beautiful wood bar and the dinning room chairs look like antiquities from Ireland. They also offer live music Wednesday, Friday & Saturday.
I have to say that I am surprised to see the poor reviews, but they are a bit dated so perhaps things have changed. I would recommend The Harp for anyone looking for a solid dining experience.
I go to the Harp for lunch yesterday, and the only thing notable enough to say about it was how laughably bad it was..
( Please forgive a bit of beverage snobbery here....)
I'm checking out their drink list and under "Winter Warmers" it lists Mango Sangria. Well, first of all, it's June, and secondly just about the last damned beverage on Earth i expect to 'warm my bones' during Cleveland winter is Mango Sangria. What?!?!?
They advertise traditional Irish fare and music. So during my lunch, I hear Ace of Base and R. Kelly and my lunch date had a cajun burger. Apparently there's a huge Cajun population in Ireland I was unaware of.
The best part of my meal was a huge storm kicking up and blowing their unsecured patio umbrellas across the parking lot and hitting every car parked there. Except mine, which was the crummiest in the lot. It wasn't as funny to the stuffed shirt with the BMW next to me, but I found it particularly hilarious.
I've heard the owner has some kind of monkey he lets hang out in the restaraunt that attacked somebody. The monkey bit is cool and all, but the rabies part- not so much.
Putting a little "oh" in Ohio.
Coming from the Loop (and I am proud) I was skeptical that Cleveland would have much to offer. Â Though I was offered a free meal at the Harp for some tasteful "Irish-inspired" fun.
Atmosphere: Â Combo of the dingy of a bar, with the seating of a TGIF. Â Its pretty family friendly, but we must have come during "ladies night" because all the middle aged women were intoxicated and going supersonic. Â Overall, both 4 person tables and group seating are available, though not huge on decor.
Service: Â Ran sort of slow, but always filled my Coke glass. Â This is not fine dining, but service staff was pleasant and helpful.
Food:  Pretty much the same menu you would get at a TGIF, with pretty standard fare.  The reason for the generous 4 star was a good selection of appetizers, from Crab Cakes, to Calamari, to Quesadillas  I had the Chicken pasta, which was nothing special, just good old fashion food.  I had their Cheesecake, which was a downright disappointment, so any appetizer love has dried up.
Mommy Factor: Â This is a place I would probably bring the folks. Â Its not a fancy place by any means, but its pretty benign that parents would not mind. Â SInce it still is "bar like" its not a truly kid friendly place, but there is no reason why they wouldn't be welcomed.
Date Factor: Â I would definitely not use this as a first date, more so because I would afraid of getting Tetanus, but this is not a terrible place to bring an established significant other. Â
Bling: Â Since I was not paying, I didn't mind the adventure. Â However, appetizers ranged from 5-8 bucks for a sampling for 4 people. Â Entrees ranged from 10 -20 bucks, with cuts of meat and fish ranging for about 15 bucks.
Upshot:  Overall, decent food, decent portions, and a TGIF vibe which  which I could definitely see Drew Carey frequenting.
This will make me unpopular...
THE UP-SIDE: An okay place to get together with a big, loud group of people. Â Close to downtown Cleveland.
THE DOWN-SIDE: Â What the heck does everybody see in this place? Â I've been here a few times and have been really disappointed each time. Â The food is just so-so. Â The service is impersonal. Â The back patio is just feet away from a busy highway.
THE SUM-IT-UP: Why bother with The Harp? Â It's useless. Â Head over to Ohio City or Tremont instead.
