Gateway Bar And Grill

I don’t even want to give this establishment one star. We didn’t have the chance to dine with them because we showed up at 10 p. m on the night of the Garth Brooks concert. They told us the kitchen was closed and we said «wow, on such a busy night?» The host then told us to «Fu&@ Off and never come back.» Wow! We surely will never come back with staff like that. I have never been so insulted. If we were being smart asses and condescending, then maybe that comment would be warranted but it was not. I’m sure this host was having a busy night, but he behaved in the most unprofessional manner and for that, we will never spend a dime there. We made sure to tell everyone at the Winking Lizard about this, who by the way had enough food and were more then accommodating to us.

If you regularly attend Cavs games at the Quicken Loans Arena or Indians games at Progressive Field you probably walked right by the Gateway Bar and Grill and you should stop in. This is a nice little pub-​like place near the athletic centers… one block from the Indians and 200 feet from the Cavs. The bar and grill is hooked up to the Radisson Hotel and on some hotel packages you get free breakfast… which is offered here.
We had the breakfast buffet and it was very nice. All the regular fare… eggs and sausage and bacon along with a half dozen different cereals. Toast and muffins are also provided. Choice of juices and lots of coffee fill in the dry spots. All the food was fresh and warm. We enjoyed the buffet and it is the perfect spot to kick off your morning adventures.
We did not have a chance to drop in at night for libations or dinner but if they are anything like breakfast we are sure they are a more than serviceable offering. If location is important and a nice place with ambiance and good food counts… this just might be your spot. Give it a try when in the Gateway District.

My nephew and I picked a Sunday night with no games in town so the bar was quiet and we sat at the bar. This was the final of «Battle Bots» and two other places we had visited that night refused to turn to that channel so we walked into this place. When asked to turn one of their HD TV’s to the finals they were happy to do so and so we placed our orders.
I don’t eat meat so in order to give a total review my dinner night included my nephew who loves sports bar wings and is a great chief in his own right. He ordered wings and onion rings and I wanted to taste the Lake Erie Walleye grilled and a house salad which I should have added shrimp to but forget this time. My nephew noted that the onion ring batter had some sugar added to it which make diners have to finish the entire order because they are tasty treats. His review of the wings were that they were better than any others he has tried downtown CLE. My Lake Erie Walleye was a tasty change of pace for me as a filet because I normally love boned fish. The lovely chief served the food to the bar and with the «Battle Bots» finals it was a fantastic night for a geek like myself and my sports loving nephew and we will be back again because the bartender and staff treated us like kings.

Honestly this is my go-​to spot for before or after Cavs and Indians games. It’s a great spot to have a few drinks, get some food and have a good time. It’s a lot cheaper than Clevelander and City Tap, and you won’t have to deal with an overcrowded bar!
The bartenders are the absolute best here. Neal and Mike are probably the best bartenders in Cleveland. I absolutely love this place!

Stopped in before the Monsters game for a drink. The atmosphere is upbeat and fun and the Moscow Mules are GREAT!

We had dinner here before the Cavs game last night. Although I’d emailed on their webpage for reservations, it was never answered. The manager was immediately apologetic and had a table for 6 right away.
Food wasn’t anything inventive, but it was solid and quite tasty for all of us. There were 3 Game Day burgers, a fried walleye sandwich, a BLT wrap, and a chicken caesar salad. Portions were quite large, and their fresh-​cut fries are peppery and very good.
Service was very good without being at all overbearing or cutesy, and they are directly across the street from The Q – great location.

BRETT!!! It’s your favorite person EVER — Kimmy!!! What time are you opening for the Tribe’s Home Opener!!!

Great beer selection. Conveniently located steps away from Progressive Field and The Q. Plenty of TV’s and awesome food.

Came here while staying at the hotel. Good food selection for a bar. Drinks were fairly reasonable and a huge selection. Would recommend to anyone going to the Q or to progressive field.

Was just in the area and had dinner, table got mac & cheese app, pasta dish and grilled chicken sandwich, onion rings. Everything was good. Kind of like a sports bar and grill but a little fancier than normal (new place, modern look). Great service.

Good, Not quite a 4, but didn’t want to give a 3. The bartender was awesome, the space and tvs were nice, food was great for American!
Fries could’ve used more seasoning!
Enjoy!

Classy, clean and reasonable. The menu is diverse without being weird. They have game day specials and many tvs. But I wouldn’t describe this as a sports bar. Very versatile.

Don’t do it unless you have to. Asked for the bartenders to turn on a game (nine tvs are playing a cavs game, they are losing by 20).
They «lost the remote.» If Lebron James, Jose Mesa, and John Elway were bar tending they would easily have a remote handy.
