The Vault is a coveted destination that will always be remembered.

Sexy, well appointed apaces create an atmosphere that is unlike any other. Industrial flirtations with art, unique spaces and romantic nooks set an unbeatable backdrop for a date that should end well if you have game of even the slightest level. Even more amazing during the holidays, great bartenders and service to boot.

Checked into the hotel across the street pretty late on a Friday and googled nearby bars and this place popped up. The vault is even cooler in person, walking downstairs to get to it you see all the other vault rooms as well. Plenty of areas to lounge around with friends after grabbing a drink from the bar. The staff were super friendly and seemed to know a lot of people coming in which shows people like to come back! The drinks were all incredible.

Love how many unique spaces they have. I could totally see myself coming here and every time experiencing it in a new way just based on where you end up sitting. Truffle fries were yummy and the drinks are great too!

I really wanted to visit the vault because it seemed so cool! I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but I thought someone would seat us or something. No one was there to seat us and we were able to go look at all the rooms. I’m not sure if those are usually reserved or if you can go take your drink to the room. We’re not really big drinkers and we were really just there for the atmosphere and to see the vault. After we looked around, I didn’t really feel like I needed to drink there, so we just left. I probably would’ve ordered something, but it was pretty empty and no one greeted or even talked to us, so we just left. I’m satisfied with my experience though! It was pretty cool!

We’ve been to the vault a handful of times and it’s been fine. I would not recommend going between Christmas and new years. The bartenders were edgy, slower due to new people and not enough help. The different rooms are always nice and the Christmas decorations were very nice!

The atmosphere is great, drinks were ok but overpriced. Service was poor. Upon entering, we stood in front of the bar, which was not busy at the time, and were treated like ghosts with 0 acknowledgement that we were there. Clearly the two women who were tending the bar saw us without even so much as a “Hello, be right with you” or something to that effect. Do better please.

Very cool spot for a cocktail. The drink menu has some creative options and classic cocktails. They make the best espresso martini. Each room located around the bar has its own private ambiance. There is plenty of space to find your own little nook or share some of the larger seating areas.

Interesting but strange decor place with reasonable beer price and very expensive glass of wine. It’s nothing special, just a glass of Malbec = $20. Food was reasonable as we ordered Waffle Fries, Vault Shrimp, and Chicken Sliders. All ended up deep fried but they were good.

Keegan is a hoot! We had a wonderful time. Great small bites, I recommend the Nashville hot sliders or the Sinful Shrimp. The craft cocktails are all very tasty. My favorite is the Romero with the Lakeshore lemonade coming in a close second.

This is my 2nd time here and I STILL love it. My friend and I went to celebrate her promotion at her new job and we thought it was simply a magnificent visit. The staff were friendly, the drinks were delicious, the ambience is everything and honestly, who doesn’t want to hang out in a vault!? I did my manifestation in one of the vaults, lol. I feel so exquisite whenever I step foot into this establishment. I will never get enough and I promise myself to visit each time I’m in Cleveland. You will not be disappointed, I promise.
