“Stopped in here with a work colleague for the nostalgia since we were in Cleveland for business. It was a quaint bar that filled up pretty quickly once it opened. Clean and classic. The bartender was friendly and accommodating. Check it out when you're in Cleveland.”
“I found this place conveniently located a block from the Greyhound Bus Station. I had a half hour before my trip began and was starving. I called in my order over the phone, which was definitely a PLUS+. My order was ready very quickly (12 minutes) as I got the fish sandwich and fries. I spent $14 and left a $3 tip for my to-go order. The waffle fries were decent, but the fish sandwich was horrendous. They do have a few non-alcoholic choices, I got the ginger beer. The soda was tasty, but they do not have to-go cups with lids, so beware. In all, I am grateful for Moe's and happy to give them another visit when I'm back in Cleveland as The Simpsons was one of my favorite childhood cartoons!”
“Such a cool, low-key bar! We stayed overnight in Cleveland on our way out west and stopped in here for a few drinks. Great atmosphere, friendly service, cold drinks. Definitely recommend.”
