What reviewers say about Jerman's Cafe

David Spotts4 years ago

This is a Cleveland classic! One of the oldest bars in Cleveland from the "old neighborhood" that was primarily Slovenian. Tons of memories at this place over the last 100 years and I love to keep making more. Stop by during lunch to grab some of Char's amazing food and check out the design. They are open every day of the week except for Sunday! The drinks are simple and cheap - the perfect combination.

Great place to unwind after work. Everyone who works here is kind. And the place has history. One of the first taverns in Cleveland.

Wonderful staff, good drinks, cozy atmosphere with great Cleveland history. The third generation of family is running this bar. The bars namesake, Mitzi Jerman, who ran the bar until she died at 93 years old, was born here when her parents ran this bar. They even operated during the prohibition when Mitzi was 7 years old and her job was to run the alcohol to the cellar. You're getting a glimpse of history when visiting Jerman's Tavern.
