Wonder Bar Cleveland (11-minute walk). Instagrammable, fun drinks.
Flannery's Pub (11-minute walk). Comfort food, imperial pints (20oz), and lots of beers on draft. 
Collision Bend Brewing Company (15-minute walk). Waterfront brewery and taproom with small plates.

Food

There are two things to note about the Cleveland food scene for the PMTS attendee.

First, a Polish Boy is a popular street food composed of a sausage between buns covered with French fries, a little bit of cabbage salad, and some hot sauce. Food trucks seem to be elusive, so keep an eye out!

Second, E 4th St. is Cleveland’s restaurant row, lined with eateries, bars, and general good vibes. We’ll list our recommendations below, but if you like to wander around before you decide, now you know where to go!

Mabel's BBQ (10-minute walk). Industrial-chic BBQ spot with communal tables, a long bar, and many bourbons. Go for their Polish Girl, a take on Cleveland’s classic Polish Boy sandwich. 

Butcher and the Brewer (10-minute walk). Part brewery, part restaurant. Good for large groups to gather at the roomy communal tables. Snack on housemade charcuterie, crisp corn dogs, and mashed-potato-and-pierogi pizzas. 

Danny’s Deli & Restaurant (15-minute walk). Bustling old-school spot turning out classic deli grub such as jumbo club sandwiches and corned beef.
