This was a great place to stop and get some food and a drink after going to the museum. Food was great, but service was okay. I had to ask every time I wanted something and was only checked on once, and I think other patrons were checked on regularly. Not sure what I did or what vibe I was putting off to make that happen!
Otherwise a good experience, I would go back for the chill vibes and good food.

Great bar open to everyone even though it’s inside a student center (Thwing). The crowd seems to go from professors to undergrads to grad students from early evening to close. Good selection of reasonably priced beers they brew. They usually have several European style beers available which I prefer. At the bar, I rarely have to wait to order.
The heavy bar food is really good. It can sometimes take awhile to make it out to the bar, so plan accordingly. I’ve never sat at the tables, but there are plenty of them.
Solid karaoke on most Thursday nights except for some college breaks. Sometimes your song will get a live sax accompaniment from the DJ!

Loved this place. Had an appointment across the road and popped in after for an early dinner.
The garlic butter pretzels were the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were incredibly complimentary!
The BBQ quesadilla was perfect. The only thing missing was some wet napkins! (I ordered with no black beans)
Partner got the Mac n cheese burger. He said the Mac n cheese on top was great and he loved that it was a little crispy.
We will be going back again!

If you get hungry/thirsty while checking out the outstanding art collection at the Cleveland Institute of Art, consider taking a short walk (6 minutes) over to the Student Union at Case Western Reserve and sample their craft beers and delicious pub food. Just don’t order the Faberge Egg.

We stopped by for early dinner before going to the Cleveland Orchestra. It was a bit difficult to find the place for the first time but the food was good and reasonable and they seemed to have lots of beer. We had Grilled Cheese & Sweet Potato Fries (potato fries came with powdered sugar), and Fried Fish Sandwich & Onion Rings. Just adding a couple of dollars and being able to change from regular fries to different sides was nice.

Knowledgeable and friendly serving and bar staff, with very quick service. The Porkstrami was the best thing I’ve had on my trip here to Cleveland.

When I first looked up this place I didn’t realize it was an on campus restaurant/ bar. Unfortunately, everything from the service to the quality of the food was what you’d expect from an on-campus college restaurant.
Service: The waitress was bad. I’m talking real bad, Michael Jackson. She wasn’t rude in fact she was quite nice but she was running around like it was her first week on the job (we later confirmedshe had been there a few months), messing up orders not bringing food out forgetting about drinks. One of the people at my table literally had to wait about 45 mins for her food (pizza) and drink. The drinks were taking so long some of us went directly to the bar and got drinks right away. When I asked the bartender why he said it was because he serves his bar customers first since they tip him directly we tip the servers.
Food: It was bad. Wings were fried hard, my wife’s food came out ice cold.
Finally when it came time to leave the waitress wouldn’t show up to bring the checks. She brought one check but there were about 8 of us. So we waited about 30 mins to get checks but then they were all wrong. Had to literally write out what we ordered and wait around another 30 mins for her to correct the check. Finally they had a nerve to put an automatic 18% gratuity on our checks for that terrible service.
The only good thing about my experience was that my drink was good. If the sever was able to get drinks out in a timely fashion, I would have ordered another.
***5/11 – Review edited/updated. I visited again and sat at the bar this time. The service was much better and the two items I ordered pretzels and burger tasted decent. The drinks were good ad they were the first time and for a good price.

A quiet sports bar to chill on a hot summer day across from Seidman Cancer Center on Euclid Ave and behind the student center of CWRU in Thwing Center. Nice selection from the tap with flight 4oz for $2!

Whenever I feel nostalgic about the amazing time I spent cramming for tests in the university, I head on over to the Jolly Scholar. I love the vibe and their huge selection of beers. I also like the collegiate terminology that they use to name their beers like ‘emeritus’, etc. I love their Jolly Spritz and the jolly blonde ale that are perfect for summer. But, most of all, I love their vegan chicken nuggets that are made out of mushrooms. You will not believe how amazing these are – they taste absolutely like the real chicken nuggets and even better!!! I couldn’t believe that this was not chicken!!! Go check this place out – it’s absolutely fantastic!!

The place itself is good but my grilled chicken sandwich was a totally let down. Nothing much to it fires were cold too . Not sure if I would come back or recommend it.
