Around the Corner Saloon & Cafe

This is a casual place to get beer and wings. The beer prices are not the cheapest but the food is decent. They usually have some sort of music act especially on the weekends. The best thing here is their happy hour is from 3−7pm and the patio is large and a great spot in the summer.

Overall a good bar. Would not call it a restaurant. Only complaints are the damn small plastic cups & overpriced drinks– there are never any drink specials. And they beed to cool it with the «slutty costume» events– lakewood is not that kind of place–

So we tried this place twice. The first time we sat inside and had wings and skins… it was typical pub grub and nothing special. The next time we thought we would try it again because we found a groupon and it was close. So we went for Sunday lunch… They have a very limited menu on Sundays and even more limited staff. They front was closed for a graduation party and after awkwardly being asked to move we went to the back patio. It was filled with the aroma of stale cigarette smoke, which is always nice to dine to. They staff looked as if they had rolled out of bed from the night before or slept in the back room. The manager sat in the large beach chair in the corner and played on is his phone. Will not be back and it wasn’t worth the groupon.

This place used to be much better, or maybe I had lower standards. Very limited draft beer choice, if Coors lite is my order, choice is pretty lousy. Sat at the patio bar and almost had to beg to be waited on. Food was mediocre, standard bar food. I know this place gets hyped as a hotspot in Lakewood, but they really need to work on customer service.

The food was edible and we had an okay waitress. I’m not overly impressed with the bartenders ability to make drinks or shots. Our entrees came out before our appetizers and everything was just average. Nothing life ruining but nothing incredible either. I would recommend this place to someone who just wants a patio and doesn’t care how their food/​service/​drinks are.

Service here is absolutely terrible. Bartender Natalie Ignored us at the front bar for 15 minutes and walked away in the middle of out order once she finally acknowledged us.

Been here many times for wing crawls and brunch. Even happy hour. Its OK. Bartenders are OK. The beer selection is nothing more that you would see in a college kids dorm. The black pepper wings and even those (half the time) are oily and burnt. If you cant get on the right day they can be great. Lakewood has so many other options. Parking here stinks. If you have a coupon its worth it, other than that… not so much.

They wouldn’t let me in because I was wearing a tank top. (It wasn’t a wifebeater, I promise. Then I would have understood.) Not sure why they had a dress code considering their location and reputation. I have never been back.

Its a fun dive bar in Lakewood. The crowd filled up with goofy frat guys dancing all over each other. I came for the band which was great, Lt Dan’s New Legs.

The food for brunch is amazing and the bloody Mary bar is great… But the service is absolutely atrocious. What’s worse is its consistently horrible, it’s common knowledge for brunch goers in the area know how bad the service is. If you do decide to eat here just block a good 1.5÷2 hours out of your day.

One of the best places to relax in Cleveland during the summer on the their huge patio. Always an entertaining event happening in the warehouse but somehow this old bar/​restaurants keeps its hometown family atmosphere at the same time.

A good place if you are in the mood for a burger or wings. But otherwise a relatively short menu. The burgers are HUGE and well prepared. Several standard options. (I like the signature burger with grilled onions, mushrooms and American cheese.) Be aware, fries are not included and have to be ordered.
Lots of good wings. When it’s busy, ask for your wings well done. I like the Around the Corner Signature Wings. A black pepper rub with some mildly spicy butter sauce. May be one of the best wings in the area.
Monday is 2 for 1 burger night. Such a deal!

I would give this place less than one star if I could. Stopped in with my husband. He had three miller lites, I ordered one drink. When I paid the tab, there were two shots on our ck., which we did NOT order. Bartender became very nasty and argumentative insisting we drank them. We don’t do shots!
She put someones shots on our tab! No tip for her. No response from mgmt. Thieves!

I love the brunch but the rest sucks. It always smells really strong like alcohol everywhere whenever you go and the bathrooms are always nasty. Hipster hang out!

First off the drinks way over priced 5 $ bottles come on guys you can do better then that ??
Went there for dinner and got the chili. It was pretty good
Then went back later on and was surprised on the completely different atmosphere good for dancing

You know how everyone calls Lakewood the «college town without a college»? Well, this would be the big frat house on campus. I describe this place as a «bro-​bar» to my friends who have never been here. It surprises me that the guy that owns Georgetown owns this place too… I always got the feeling the inside of the place was just dirty every time I went, ESPECIALLY the bathrooms (have they been re-​done? If so, I haven’t seen them yet). I typically go outside on their pretty big outdoor patio that they have, and it’s nice they realize that the greater Cleveland area does have cold weather from time to time, and they do have one or two heat lamps out there for those chilly nights.
I think the biggest reason this bar reminds me of a fraternity is because of the dance floor/​room, whatever you want to call it. I just think of the random big room where the frat guys would push all the couches out of the way, play some music and have a couple colored strobe lights. That’s pretty much what that room is like, with a bar in it. But, when my friends ask me where is somewhere local they can go on the west side to dance without going downtown, that’s really the only place I can think of. Either ATC found a niche or I haven’t been to enough places to find one where you can dance… like that.(…without going downtown).
The service… eh. Hit or miss. Sometimes they’re good, other times it feels like they’re serving everyone but you and they are doing it while they hate their lives. I came here once and ordered the sliders – probably won’t be doing that again. Didn’t care for it. Came here another time during Lent for a fish fry. Now let me tell you, I do NOT like seafood, put the perch was super good! My girlfriend got the cod, and I think I would like a couple bites but not the whole thing. I have never been here for brunch, but, I have heard that the brunch is super, super good. Can’t comment on it though.

COCONUT PANCAKES!!!
I think they put cake batter in their pancakes, because they were amazing. You get what you pay for as well. Pancakes, home fries, bacon, AND sausage. 2 meals out of this breakfast meal.

Two words: Coconut Pancakes.
What? Why are you still reading? Doesn’t that say it all? No? Well, I also enjoyed the South of the Border Frittata which was stacked with guacamole, cheese, salsa, and goodness. And the sausage gravy over biscuits were a delish heart attack on a plate.
The brunch prices are quite reasonable, although the drink prices are a bit over the top. But I can’t say enough how the food well exceeds my expectations. Portions are huge, and I never leave without a to-​go box.
It’s a bit divey yet charming on the inside and I can’t wait to partake in more brunch-​aliciousness.

Brunch. I get excited to try new places on Sundays. After this morning I would have loved to be at one of my favorite dives for their $ 2.99 grub.
Unless this is your first day on the job, you should know that when people walk through the front door someone should greet them. And if you are the manager, you can feel free to say hello and ask how many vs telling your employee to do it in front of the customer. Ugh.
Today seemed to be a busy day. But that’s what you look forward to right? Everyone seemed very rushed and everything done with minimal effort. We decided on the Hangover Omelette and the Eggs Florentine. After a long wait, we got our meal. The omelette was massive and ok. Alas, it came with chewy bacon and the «Texas toast» was a slice of a baguette. Chewy bacon? No thanks. As for the Eggs Florentine, I wish I took a picture. It came in a skillet. Think Eggs Benedict. The english muffin, I needed a steak knife to cut. The Canadian Bacon was super salty, topped with an egg with the hollandaise sauce on the side. Now add the creamed spinach with mozz and parm. Well it was swimming in the creamed spinach and cheeze. Disappointment. Without asking how things were or if we needed another drink we were given the check.
I’ll stick to drinks when I have to visit in the future.

AWESOME. Pretty crowded but I love the atmosphere. Between the crab racing (that’s right… crab racing) and the great live music, who wouldn’t love a party night here? The patio is a great place to hang out and have a good time in the summer.
This is very much a party place though. So if you’re in the mood for a quiet place to hang out with friends and booze, this is not it. The live music makes the side bar extremely rowdy and hard to get service.
I haven’t had the food, but I’ve heard it is quite good. I would definitely try some given the opportunity.
