Panini's At the Riviera

Reviews & Tips

  You are no longer a Panini's.
  
  I want to love you...but....your floor is too dirty. Seriously, if the floor looked cleaner, I would give you a 4 star. Call me crazy, but dirt turns me off at an eating and drinking establishment.
  
  You have a patio with "corn hole" (something I wish we could rename bean bag toss for obvious reasons.)
  
  You also rock out with Karaoke most nights of the week.
  
  I will refrain from telling the story about me puking in the mens' restroom for an hour. Oh wait...I just told it.
  
  They have a patio, but it is more of a place to smoke and play corn hole. Don't expect to come here and dine on the patio.

  so....the riviera.
  
  an interesting place, this riviera.
  
  i have experienced different crowds on different nights here.  first time?  a bunch of dbags watching the game.  not my crowd.  next time?  a bunch of hipster kids rocking out to music that hipster kids don't really listen to.  and then?  karaoke done with theater folk and other folk with some amazing voices.
  
  if karaoke's your thing, this is the place to do it.  kevin kellyoke.  any song you want to sing- any song in the universe- this man can look up on a computer and have you singing on their little stage in a matter of minutes.
  
  that includes that lesser known hit by that teenybopper band you deny loving, or that folk song that never really got out of limited release.
  
  kevin does his karaoke thursdays, fridays, and saturday nights.  he's fun.  a great guy.
  
  the drinks aren't too horrible. they've got strongbow on tap, so mix a few of those with singing folk and you've got yourself a good place for a group of people to rock out with their...
  
  um...
  
  voices out.
  
  but pick a night with a good crowd.  cuz..well....yeaaaah.

  The Rivera is one of the best karaoke spots in Cleveland - I believe they have it every night after 10pm. The crowd is fun with folks from all walks hanging out to sing. Drinks are cheap and there is a drinking/smoking patio out back to warm up your vocal chords.

  Great place if you like hanging out with drunk college kids, Korean War Veterans and Hookers from W. 25th street.  The owner Erik has the biggest Torino in Cleveland.

  Giant sandwiches of DOOM!!!! Seriously this place is great, I have many good memories of getting sloshes and eating my guts out on big sandwiches at this place.
  
  They generally keep a good barstaff and grillstaff, the fact that the grill is laid out in the open makes it even better.
  
  If you've never had hand cut fries and coleslaw on a sandwich, you need to stop by this place pronto.
