Had a very positive experience here. Just came for drinks, but everything was reasonably priced (especially in comparison to the bars surrounding it). Our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable and stopped by our table every five minutes or so to check on us. I would definitely recommend it.
Review Source:On 4/14/2013 my friend asked if the bar carried "Fireball" whiskey. Â When they said no she asked if they carried "Goldschlager". The bartender responded by asking her if she thought this was some "hipster bar". Â The bartender (who was incredibly inebriated) then proceeded to bring my friend a shot with several pennies in it exclaiming "Here's your shot of Goldschlager" . I'm sure in his drunken state/ decreased mental capacity he thought it would be a funny joke, but it was incredibly rude and inappropriate and no one else was laughing.
Review Source:I don't think I've been at a place that was more rude.
We had a rather large party and were standing by the door because we couldn't find anyone to seat us. Meanwhile, I don't think a table there seats more than 4.. After about a few minutes of not seeing an employee, we sat down and moved two tables together. The bearded fellow who eventually acknowledged our existence made snide remarks about our having moved a couple of tables together (there was only one other group of 8 sitting at tables that had been moved together). We left before ordering and moved the tables to their original position. We weren't welcome for whatever reason and I will not be going back.
How did I end up at the Old Angle Tavern? Its where my sandwich from Bogtrotters was delivered. And I'm glad it was because the Old Angle Tavern was a really neat experience. I loved the old decor. It reminded me of those old neighborhood bars that were on every street corner in Chicago back in the 70's. I had a great time hanging out with the locals, cheering on the Indians.
If you're looking for a fabulous, local bar that has a retro feel and friendly vibe, The Old Angle Tavern is the place to go. Its a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy a cold one. Its like going back to a simpler time when your biggest worry was where your next draft beer was coming from. Personally, I miss those days.
Those 2 stars are a gift!
We stopped in here after a trip to the Westside Market for lunch. We got there shortly after they opened and were the first ones there. The bartender/waiter didn't seem at all happy that we were there. While we were sitting there another family came in and stood by the door waiting for the guy to seat them. After about 5 minutes of them standing there and with him nowhere to be found they walked out.
We both ordered the corned beef and all I can say is I've had better. I love corned beef and I could tell this stuff was at least a day or two old and just warmed up and done so the wrong way. The fries were good but I'm not going back for fries.
It's a shame that a place in that location was so bad when everything else around there is pretty good. I give it 2 stars cause the place has potential to be really cool. Maybe it is. Maybe I was there the wrong day. Better employees and better food is all this place is missing which unfortunately are pretty important in the restaurant business....
I have been to The Old Angle a lot... and in the beginning, I was not a fan at all. Â The service was mediocre at best and I did not seem impressed with the service.
After they worked out those issues, things definitely did change. Â Good food, better service, great beer, great decor and ambiance and soccer. Â I highly recommend checking it out if you are a fan of good grub, soccer and great beers.
I wanted to love The Old Angle Tavern, I really did. And I'm sure I'll visit again soon in a second attempt for romance with this neighborhood favorite-all of the Yelpers before me surely can't be wrong.
The interior was charming enough, really homey and relaxing. It was surprisingly low key for a Saturday evening, which was a definite plus-no blaring music, no out of control drunk people; just a chill place to hang out.
The beer selection at Old Angle was about average. There was nothing too out of the ordinary and not a huge selection, but a few of my personal favorites (60 Minute on tap and Stone IPA in the bottle) showed up on the menu, so I was personally satisfied.
I can't really complain about the service, it looked like there was a single waiter buzzing around the whole place. He wasn't the friendliest guy in the world, but he got our drinks to us quickly and took our food orders promptly.
We started with the onion rings, a pile full of crispy beer-battered onion slices served with a spicy mustard dipping sauce-these were definitely the highlight of our Old Angle visit.
I decided on the falafel sliders, which erred on the side of disappointing. For starters, there was a lot more bun than there was falafel; the thick, cold slider bread was dry and unimpressive. The falafel itself was pretty tasty, but the tiny sliver on each bun didn't make the $7 price tag seem very worth it. The sliders were both topped with a piece of lettuce, some tomatoes, and what I thought was a lemon vinaigrette, but they ended up forgetting to top them with hummus-a major bummer for this hummus lover.
I also ordered a side of fries, which ended up being an appetizer-sized bowl. Hand cut and seasoned, they were about what I expected, but nothing I'd go back for. They were served with a yummy aioli (I am a sucker for aioli with my fries), so that was a definite bonus.
I'm convinced that maybe I ordered the wrong things, or maybe I just caught Old Angle on an off night. It's a neat space, and I'll surely return to give it a second shot.
Yep, five stars.
I'm updating my review because I've noticed that many places I've reviewed (and loved) are now closed. The Dredgers Union closing was a big blow. And I actually liked at first how the Dragonfly Lounge tried a different vibe than everyone else. But it too is gone. So is Phoenix Coffee on West 9th. How did it close? It was the best coffee house in Cleveland.
That said, the Old Angle is immune. As others have pointed out, it's more than a bar. I am not that cool of a guy, but the bartenders always act as though I am, and make most everyone feel welcome.
I came here to call the police, passing up many other places with telephones, after having a gun in my face while getting robbed. Maybe this place makes you feel safe. Roaring fireplaces have that effect sometimes. They also gave me a set of shot glasses after my stepmother passed away. She loved the Angle too, despite only being there a couple times with me.
But, this is a review site, so I'll get back to the point.
Their shortrib sliders are the best food item on West 25th Street. Order them. Tonight.
I can't imagine a pub able to consume more Powers whiskey than this place. They've even got me drinking it sometimes. They would be able to defeat any bar, anywhere, in a "Powers-Off" (should have done that during the blackout. Man, do I need to be in marketing).
That is all.
Really, all you need to know can be wrapped up right here:
- On Saturdays, this is one of the only places in Ohio City that doesn't drive me absolutely nuts. It's easy to grab a table, a pint and a delicious item from their fresh, revamped and slightly Irish menu. I don't have to fight with suburbanites and huge crowds to get my grub on. But really, this place is great everyday.
- Speaking of the menu, it's so much better than it's ever been. I don't know if this is Chef Nate's doing, since he's the brains behind the heavenly goodness that is Bogtrotters Doorstep, but that's my guess. Since he's been around the menu took a turn for the amazing.
- Order yourself their steak and frites small plate. You won't be disappointed. It was the perfect portion of perfectly seasoned and seared steak, served sliced over freshly prepared, handcut fries and topped with Maytag blue cheese sauce. Oh yes. If you're watching your carbs, skip the fries and pair it with their delicious side salad. It's a meal that will leave you satisfied without crushing your financial (or health) dreams. And the nachos, smothered in their homemade chili and cheese sauce (from Bogtrotters next door)--I have dreams about this glorious mound of everything that's right in the world. They don't even used ground meat for their chili--instead they slowly simmer cubes of beef that are so, so very tender. Plus, there are tons of other great menu items, like the pesto wings, shepard's pie and lamb stew.
- It's the perfect vibe if you're not trying to get crazy on a weekend night, but you want an energetic feel with great pub food without the crazy price tag. It's dark, intimate and the taps are always flowing some delicious Irish brews.
One of my very, very favorite neighborhood pubs.
I am loving The Old Angle! Â The man & I have been here several times in the past, but usually on Saturday mornings at the cusp of being too early for a drink. Â Always the same bartender, Matt, is there and & he's super nice, helpful. Â Great bloody Mary's here, and great beer.
This is a European pub to be sure. Â Football (SOCCER) is always on the telly. Â Old Speckled Hen and Bass is on tap and well of course, Guinness!
A few weeks ago we were starving, post run, and post shopping at the West Side Market and decided to order some food. Â OMG! Â The Potato Leek Soup was outta sight. Â (Yep, I said "outta sight"). Â The man ordered the D'Angle which is their version of a Reuben and Holy Corned Beef! Â That was the best corned beef I've EVER, EVER had!!! Â The fries are great too. Â I ordered the Grilled Cheese which had tomato & bacon on it. Â YUM!! YUM!!! Â I had the Guinness Battered Onion Rings and those were excellent too, especially with the Guinness mustard.
They have some great vegetarian options, and of course the traditional "Bangers & Mash" to go w/ the theme of the bar. Â
I suggest you head your hiney over & go get some great food & booze!
A group of us visited this bar on a Thursday evening for food and drinks. When we entered there was hardly 10 people in the bar. We took a seat and the server took our drink order. My friend asked for a lime and didn't get one, she asked again when he checked in but 10 minutes later when he took our food order but still no lime. We went up to the bar and got it ourselves, no huge deal. After 45 minutes had gone by we still didn't have our food. We could see the food sitting in the window at the opposite end of the bar but our server was nowhere to be found. After 10 minutes sitting in the window the server appeared from behind the bar and brought our food.
How disappointed we were. My friend got fish and chips and the coleslaw had sat so long in the window that her batter was soggy. My girlfriend ordered the chicken toes and they came out a dark brown and black at certain places. By this point we had enough, we waited almost an hour for our food and when it came it was a sad disappointment. Our server came over and we asked to speak with a manager and the server told us he was. We expressed our frustration with how long the food took and how disappointed we were with the food and the server/manager without skipping a beat turned around and walked away from us mid-sentence. We waited to see if he'd come back but he never did. We paid for our drinks with cash and went next door for dinner.
We felt disrespected when our food took so long and the server/manager never came to say anything, never asked if we wanted another drink in that 55 minutes and then when we voice our concern he turns his back and just walks away. Maybe we went on a bad night but that manager needs a lesson in hospitality. My friends and I will never go back to this establishment as it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had at a restaurant.
I'm only assuming the manager has no financial investment at the Old Angle because if he did he wouldn't have treated his customers the way he did.
My husband and I recently decided to head to Ohio City and do things we hadn't done before. We have our stomping grounds we are comfortable with but as Ohio City grows it keeps bringing in more awesome places to check out.
I have probably walked by TOAV numerous times but really, I am unsure why we have never stopped in before. It's a tavern and they have nice curb appeal which means I am usually 1/2 in the door already. Upon entering I was even more shocked- it's a great space. I am not sure what I was expecting but nonetheless, I like this place.
We pulled up a spot at the bar and ordered some beers and also watched some of the soccer game on. I could tell this was a neighborhood bar kind of place. The bartenders knew everyone and were really friendly. Service was quick, chatty and seemed glad we were giving them our money.
Definitely check out the sandwich place in the back. This place rocked my sandwich socks off! I don't even know what we got but dang was it good with my guinness.
Sandwich was pricey- $13 but SO worth it.
We'll be back soon!
I like The Old Angle, but I am so mad that I just have to complain somewhere. Â The place's website won't let me. Â Try it--it won't work!
So I had two brain aneurysms and a stroke late last year. Â Before that, I was a whirling dervish, had been the Angle, took out-of-towners to the Angle...the whole bit. Â Right now, after the stroke, I am expected to make a full recovery, but I have no balance. Â I see weird, I walk weirder, and I don't drive. Â
The bartender at The Old Angle wouldn't serve me because he thought I was drunk. Â I wasn't drunk. Â We just moved down the street with people, astonished people. Â My friend tried to explain what had happened to me but he wasn't having it. Â Did I say I was a bartender? Â I am, and I would do the same thing at first. Â But I would talk to the person (I can talk) and see that I am reasonable and, uh, normal. Â He wouldn't talk to me. Â I am normal, my brain is just dumb and doesn't always tell my body what to do. Â
This was like three weeks ago. Â I plan on going there - its locally-owned, it's right there, I did like it, but that really sucked.
I've been compiling a list of places to try around W25th and this was definitely on it. We stopped by here tonight and as soon as I walked in, I loved the vibe and decor. We sat at the bar and were promptly served. Their beer selection is pretty good - I like that they have more of the off-beat beers and not just the customary domestics (which they have too!). I was super exited to try their food but the bartender told us they are redoing their kitchen so we ordered sandwiches from Bogtrotter's next store. There is a window inside Old Angle where you can just order the sandwich you choose and they will bring it right to you.
Bogtrotter's sammies are pretty darn good. I had the Chicago with roast beef, peppers and it come served with au jus - which you can get on the side, "wet" or "drenched". I chose the "wet" option and would've preferred a little more so i'll make a mental note to get the "drenched" version next time. B got the Porkopolis sammy that looked equally as good as mine and his had chips inside too.
I always have a slight test when I go to restaurants - judging them on their bathrooms and Old Angle didn't disappoint. Clean and funky-designed bathrooms.
The service was alright, we were served pretty fast throughout the evening although we did see some people who seemed to be having trouble ordering and were waiting at the bar for awhile.
We definitely enjoyed this place and will be back to try the pub grub once the kitchen opens back up!
One of the top bars in Ohio City. Totally comfortable atmosphere, friendly and casual. GREAT food, strong drinks, experienced bartenders. Â Nice big TVs for my boyfriend to watch sports. Try the lamb taco special on Thursdays... delicious! Â Love the front tables with the big windows open!
Only downside: They no longer have desserts. :(
I remember when this place was a hardware store. These guys were some of the first on the "new" block and they have staying power for good reasons!
Irish hospitality, good beer, friendly bartenders and amazing fried fish - what more could you ask for? Oh yeah, futball on the big screens and a constant street scene through the big front windows.
And we never fail to see an old friend!
You've all walked by. Â There is that ominous looking wooden door in the basement near the bathrooms. Â I always had figured that it was to some kind of closet or possibly a torture chamber? Â Actually, it's a long thin private party room. Â They rent this out for free so long as you can guarantee enough people. Â They may have even thrown in free food from what I recall. Â It was great!
I especially liked it because it's cozy, they were more than hospitable and they let us do karaoke! Â Yeaaaa!!!!
So anyway, now you know what that room is...it's a bastion of joy and debauchery.
Went here after a wedding reception for a 2nd reception with the guests and bridal party. Â We were in a downstairs room with its own bar. Very cozy and the staff was helpful. Â I don't drink but the staff provided me with free cranberry juice, so I'd say they were accommodating. Â Seems like a great place to sit around and watch the games. Â
Its in a good location, was very easy to find and parking was a breeze.
Buy one get one shots of Powers on Sundays and complimentary pizza.
OF COURSE 5 stars. Â
Only complaints: With all the stairs involved in locating the bathrooms, you might want to limit your amount of free whiskey. Â Also, with the patio accessed by climbing out the window, see whiskey advisory above.
Have yet to eat here, but I love the wood bar, decor, and the layout of the bar. Â Makes easy for groups to intermingle.
This bar is in a great location in Ohio City - nice chill atmosphere and so awesome with the front windows open in the summer letting in that lake breeze. Eurosports (football, rugby, etc) on the TVs is a nice touch.
Employees are all super cool. They sponsored our rowing team (Thanks Alex!) Service is great too - all servers I've had here have hustled their butts off.
Menu is pretty good in my opinion. Standard Irish bar fare plus creative additions. Salads, wraps, etc. all great. Even the chicken strips are not your regular over-breaded, over-fried mess. And you get 3 different sauces (choose from 5) with them. Yum. Especially liked the garlic mayo.
The only thing I find weird about this place is the decor. A lot of the place reminds me of an Italian restaurant rather than and Irish pub. It's like half and half. Upholstered panels on the wall for an elevated dining area with fancier tables on one side, but regular pub-type tables in the front where the windows are. The downstairs where the bathrooms are is really really cool and dungeon-y, Â though and there's a private room with its own bar that seems like it could be rented out.
Overall, a nice neighborhood spot with friendly service and good food.
So, my boyfriend and I were hankerin' for a brew and a burger last night and just happened to stumble on The Old Angle Tavern in Ohio City.
Imagine our surprise when we stepped in, only to be greeted by not only a warm staff, but also a warm, cracklin' fire. I immediately thought the place was a delicious blend of neighborhood bar, medival inn and sports pub. Very cozy, chill and oh-so-familiar. The Indigo IMP Blond Bombshell I ordered just added to the warm glowy feeling I had about the ambiance.
Admittedly, our char-burger was a little more aggressive on the "char" than we typically like. However, the Guinness Onion soup was D-E-L-E-C-T-A-B-L-E, thus proving that everything is indeed better with Guinness. The turkey chili was also quite tasty...a difficult feat when dealing with a largely bland bird.
I'm going to reserve a higher star rating until I'm able to sample more of the menu. But, if first impressions count for anything, I'll be loving this place in no time flat! Stay tuned....
Had a Friday lunch at Old Angle--the only day of the work week they are open for lunch. Â I had the Char-Grilled Burger--a 1/2 lb. patty with grilled onions and cheese for $10. Â I thought the burger was solid and filling, especially with the big bun used. Â The hand cut fries are about par for the course, and the plate also comes with a thimble of nondescript cole slaw.
While the was food just decent, I liked the space the tavern is in: spacious with big tables and a couple of big flat panel televisions on the walls with (at the time) ESPN Sportcenter and soccer. Â I think the nice environment kicks Old Angle up to low three-star range--though among my recent lunch spots I actually prefer Leader Bar & Grill on Superior.
Solid 4 star place for W.25th street. Â Its a great place for a beer and to watch the game, or if you just want a quick bite while sitting at the bar. Â The people working are super. Â They listed all the happy hour specials and I think somehow I ended up getting a free $2 Tecate can the other day. Â Each time I end up in that area for whatever reason, I always find myself coming here for one. Â
I read all the 4 star reviews left for this place and completely agree with all of them to some capacity. Â Make it a must stop if you are in the neighborhood and have an hour or two to spare. Â Walking distance from West Side Market.
Pretty solid spot. Very comfortable kind of place, especially if you happen to be sitting near the fireplace.
The mix of music was cool - from Neil Diamond to Joy Division. You could actually hear yourself and others speaking, which is always a plus in any bar.
Beer selection is so-so. They had La Fin du Mond - which is one of my favorites. I wanted to switch it up, so I got a Cocaine Lady (which is similar to a White Russian and has a splash of coke in it) after my beer. And this is my only complaint about the Old Angle: I was charged for a White Russian and then charged for a Stoli Vanilla as well. The adorable bartender asked me if wanted that, to be fair, but I didn't know I'd get charged for two drinks. I probably should have said something about that and I'm sure it would have been fixed. Oh well, not a huge deal really.
Really awesome atmosphere, good company, adorable bartenders, I'll definitely be back.
Dim lighting, mahogany furniture, tall ceilings covered in tin, stone tile flooring, a cozy fireplace and dark red accents abound, this Gaelic inspired Tavern has a sort of Medieval personality to it.
Located in the heart of Ohio City, The Old Angle can be easily found on the main drag of West 25th Street, just next to Ohio City Burrito. My first visit was to meet with other local Yelpers. I've since returned to bring a group of friends prior to a Cavs game. On both occasions, we were treated to extraordinary service with great food and drinks.
The bar offers a limited quantity of draught beers, but each of the tap offerings seems plenty adequate to please most Irish pub dwellers. The bottled selection is abundant and consists mostly of quality craft brews, including a local favorite of mine, Indigo Imp!
The menu is well balanced and consists of not only classic Irish mainstays, but plenty variety for the health conscious and dietary restricted. Â
I consider myself honored to have been introduced to The Old Angle. And unbeknownst to many of our suburban friends, there ARE downtown dining options outside of Flannery's, The House of Blues and The Hard Rock Cafe, and it just so happens to be located just across the Hope Memorial Bridge among the other popular destinations in glorious Ohio City.
Old Angle, I look forward to my return!
I think Will S. summed it up very well, but I just wanted to give an enthusiastic "hear, hear" for the Old Angle. Â Last night I met fellow Yelpers, drank affordable and pretty good beer (and Original Sin cider), had a place to sit, ate yummy fries, and our group was attended to nicely by our server. Â Plus, I've heard they play rugby games, which doesn't really matter to me, but which will eventually lure my husband to this place. Â The crowd was pretty large, but not overwhelmingly so. Â
An added bonus: when I got there earlier than anyone, and sat at the bar by myself while I waited for a familiar face to come through the door, I wasn't given weird looks by either the bartender or the fellow patrons. Â Overall, I really liked the vibe of this place a lot.
I went here for my first yelp meetup !
Although the Old Angle looks like other 'Irish' bars/pubs at first glance, he Old Angle stands out above the rest of them.
The crowd was much more subdued than I have encountered (drunk frat boys) at other 'Irish' bars.
The beer selection was solid although with only 5 [all microbrews] on tap, they have a very wide bottle selection with domestics and microbrews. Their prices were reasonable for Ohio City, most 16oz drafts (microbrew) for $4 or $5.
Their discounts on happy hour covered a wide variety of mixed drinks (about a dozen of them), shots, beers, and Irish whiskeys (even aged Jameson). A few happy hour appetisers rounded out the menu (I only nibbled on a couple fries, which were tasty).
Additionally, their happy hour menus were available and clearly listed all of their items - something that I don't see enough.
Despite the busy Friday Happy hour, our server was very good.
He forgot to bring a water for me after requested for one (and seemed to disappear for a few minutes) but he made up for it afterwards by bringing carafes of water for our table afterwards and attended to us much more. Â
He was happy to give us separate tabs for 6-7 at the table.
I'm glad to go here.
The Old Angle is a great West Side establishment. It's a decent size so it's great for big groups to meet up, but it's not overwhelmingly big like Cadillac Ranch that feels more like a compound than a bar. The Old Angle is the perfect place to catch a television event or game. I, myself, have caught a few Cavs games with friends and even the election night coverage with a bunch of my fellow politicos. The food is more than decent for bar food and the bartenders are very attentive and friendly. I like that the Old Angle isn't too done up or done down and has just the right amount of cheesiness to make it a perfect neighborhood go-to-whenever-you-feel-like-it-no-matter-what-Âyou're wearing bar.
Review Source:I think this is considered a "local bar", but in the sence that the "local" are actually normal human beings that are not scuzzy. Â Usually when I think local bar, I think that I would be comfortable in a sweatshirt. Â This is not the case with the old Angle. Â It is a classy establishment with a local feel. Â The previous reviewer was righ on when suggesting to watch a soccer game there. Â That is the "type" that would be there. Â
It's a nice place for food, to meet after work, to go out to on a weekend, to meet up with an old friend, to go to a first date on (it's actually kinda romantic) or to watch a game. Â Very versitile.
I really like this place. It is homey, quiet, and offers great food. I am a little annoyed by the OSU crap that they put up during football season, but everyone has to make a living I suppose. I will probably lose 50% of my friends for calling a giant inflatable Brutus "crap" but I believe that in the war against hooknasties and hambones, there will be some regrettable casualties.
The Old Angle is not a sports bar; it is a pub where you can catch a game (most apt to be soccer) and drink a pint while enjoying really, really good grub. Their pub grub is top notch and worth stopping in for, with or without the pint.
To make a long story short: if you want to go to Ohio City and haven't experienced the Old Angle, go. Now. Leave work early.
The concept of an Irish bar with mostly faux old-Irish decor ("stonework", big wooden castle-y doors, as well as a nifty and I believe genuine old tin ceiling) that caters especially to soccer fans in Ohio City could easily have gone horribly wrong on so many levels. Â Fortunately, it didn't. Â The Old Angle is a real nice place to spend an afternoon. Â
Initially, we noted that the beer selection seemed a tad limited, but we figured with Guinness, Harp and Arrogant Bastard (Double Bastard too) you can't go too far wrong. Â My companion, the Guinness aficionado, was thrilled with how fresh the Guinness on tap was, as well as with the fact that it only cost five dollars a pint. Â We also noted a nice selection of whiskeys. Â Food was better than average pub grub. Â I recommend the lamb stew as being very fresh and aromatic, similar to bar food I've had in UK rather than the Dinty Moore type "stew" you usually get in the USA. Â Our stew and burger also came with very good bread. Â
Wait staff was super friendly and FAST with the drinks and food. Â A plethora of TVs were split between football game and soccer match, while an odd mix of obscure 70s album cuts (Rundgren, Ian Hunter. Steely Dan ) Â played rather softly in the background, allowing for conversation. Â I'd expected to find much more of a soccer-club atmosphere, but it was just pleasantly social for a weekend afternoon, and much less hectic/touristy than the Great Lakes brewpub restaurant can get around the same times. Â Â
The place is currently located on a slightly skeevy block at the edge of the gentrified area. Â Besides the Old Angle, the block contained several restaurants that currently aren't operating, and some slightly shady looking neighborhood businesses (check cashing, insurance, grocery). Fortunately, ample street and lot parking are available within a few steps of the Old Angle's entrances. It's also convenient to bus routes, especially if you're coming from points west.
Jess and I visited on our first foray into the west side of town since moving back to Cleveland. We really enjoyed this place. It's definitely the shotgun bar setup, with the long bar on the right. We were there from maybe 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon until about 5:30. It was a pleasant atmosphere and the servers were really friendly, telling us all about their favorite places in Cleveland. UK beers on tap and Jess got to try a dry cider she never had before ("Original Sin"). Overall a great place!
Pros: Chill atmosphere, good beers, great part of town.
Cons: They had a lacrosse team there doing a fundraising/benefit jobby. Our pleasant afternoon was ruined by soccer/lacrosse moms wearing buttons on the sweaters with pictures of their kids in lacrosse gear (gross). Definitely not necessary and even though I never thought I'd be that person, I don't like it when kids are around (it's a bar for heck's sake!). Eh, guess I'm a square now, but Jess agrees.
Next time we're in Ohio City, we'll be back...plus it might even be when other people are consuming copious amounts of beer (like Saturday EVENING instead of afternoon). Try it out, yo!
A Great Neighborhood Bar.
This is one of my favorite places to go in Ohio city. Â My friends always want to go out by my place because I live so close to the Angle. Â The food is good, the beer is good, and the service is normally good. Â When it gets crowded service can be a little slow. Great for a night of drinks and fun with a group of friends. Definitely a neighborhood hang out in ohio city.
I recommend:
The heated roast beef
the d'angle (corned beef sandwich)
anything with french fries
the fried ravioli
the lamb stew
Cosmopolitans
the seasonal rotating beer
hit or miss:
flat bread pizza
Avoid like the plague:
hot ham sandwich. (too much ham can't taste the cheese)
Overall:
Great place for a relaxed night out.
This place is very nice. Its has a huge bar that streches the lengh of the room. its all wood. nice seating areas. Its a really good atmosphere, but they don't really have any "cheap bar food" so be ready to actually eat food and pay for actual food.
I went with my friend and husband on the night of a Cavs game, back in the playoffs. They pull down a screen and have it projected up on the wall. Â Its a nice big screen and really allows you to watch the game from anywhere in there. It was also packed with people cheering and yelling and slapping hi-fives to each other. Its a nice environment, but the beers are a bit on the expensive side. however, it was still easy to get beer and food at any point, even when the bar was hard to move around in. They do a good job of keeping you full of beer and good food even when its packed.
The food is warm comfort food (stews and lots of meat), with alot of IRISH mixed in. Its good place to just feel  warm, it is a nice place to just hang out. It doesn't make effort to be exceptional in any way, but it does a good job of just being a clean, comfortable, slightly nicer priced bar around the corner.
One of the nicest bars in Ohio City...
THE UP-SIDE: Great, semi-healthy, bar-food in a nice atmosphere. Â The service is always a pleasant experience.
THE DOWN-SIDE: Once a week, they feature the same solo guitarist. Â He's not that good and his singing can really crush the great atmosphere the place has going. Â Try to avoid this time. Â
THE SUM-IT-UP: A terrific place to hang out in Ohio City. Â You could go to the Garage across the street, but why bother? Â The Angle has everything you could ask for in a decent-sized corner bar.
Pretty decent bar on 25th street in Ohio City. Â This place is simply huge and can handle a ton of patrons. Â I've never been there when it is really crowded, but if it were I'd imagine that it might take a while to get drinks.
However, each time I have been there, it has been simple to get a drink at the bar, or a short wait for the waitress to serve me. Â
The band last night, however, left more than a little to be desired. Â I am all for live music, but sometimes the jukebox is just the better idea. Â There was no cover charge, though, so I guess you get what you pay for. Â And, it was still better than the crappy piano at Howl at the Moon over in the flats.
