A bustling Ohio City dive bar with surprisingly good food. I will gladly come here just for the Pork Belly BLT and the Jamaican Jerk Nachos, but the selection of beers both cheap and snobby is pretty rock solid too. The bartenders do a really good job of taking care of everybody in spite of the fact that the people can pack themselves in pretty damn tight. Occasionally, the crowd can be somewhat problematic, like when "Regulate" comes up on the jukebox and some bro gets a little too excited and bumps you in the back or something, but for the most part everyone's pretty chill in spite of the liveliness/drunkenness. And, c'mon, it's Regulate. Who doesn't get excited for that shit?
Anyways, this is easily the best hang-out bar on West 25th. -

Big fan of ABC. Great bar and always great service. The ABC/XYZ/V team members are all friendly and know how to bartend ...the way it should be done. They take care of me every time I'm in.
The drink and beer selection is vast. A few beers they have are even as cheap as 1.50$! As well as their impressive list of bourbons (ranging a wide span of price points).. one of the best in town. The food is always good and consistent. The jukebox is usually playing something good. There is a nice patio area out front and a outdoor area in back as well as the upstairs balcony that has a pool table and small party room. And nice big TVs with the major games always on.
One of my favorite meet up spots, bars to go out with a group or just a friend or two. Very mixed crowd and you will always run into people you know.
The crown jewel of Ohio City casual night life. -

Once the ABC was revamped and remodeled, we loved it... it was a fun little spot with decent service and with an overall good vibe. That quickly changed on one night... long story short, someone slipped stuff into drinks... and thankfully knowing I was not feeling well, I took a cab home...
Ladies, beware if you are in this place and if you are there, guard your drinks like a hawk! You can have a much better and safer experience elsewhere. -

Sometimes you wanna go... where everybody knows your name....
This is that neighborhood joint that anyone is welcome. You're bound to find business people, hipsters, and college kids on any given night at the same time. Prices are right - and the food is amazing. In fact, you would never expect food in such an obscure place to taste SO good - but its a dream for a foodie like me.
Don't let the outside of ABC fool you. This is the place you want to be seen. -

Came here with about 20 work colleagues, most of whom live in Hudson, Chagrin Falls, or along 77 south. It was hard enough prying them away from the oh-so-familiar GLBC around the corner, but they were sure glad I did. Beer selection (draft) was good, atmosphere was far less restrictive then GLBC, and the food was great.
For (i think) $12 we got two appetizers: Nachos with real cheese, fresh peppers, pulled jerk chicken, and house-made chips along with red pepper hummus with fried pita bread. Later on it was the best hot dog I've ever had: jalapeño stuffed, bacon wrapped, deep fried and tooling around with a big heap of fries. The Atomic Dog at ABC was a hit with my colleagues too; 5 of us or about 25% ended up eating one.
So there you have it. ABC the Tavern can satisfy blue-collar, white-collar, hipsters, locals, and even gated-community exurbanites.
Bravo ABC, bravo. -

Stopped into ABC Tavern in an attempt to satisfy a nacho craving that had developed. At the suggestion from a fellow yelper I decided to try the Jerk Chicken Nachos.
Final verdict on the nachos - interesting.
The "nachos" at ABC start off as any plate of nachos should with house made tortilla chips fried to crispy crunchy perfection. The jerk chicken was tender and moist, but there was a certain sweetness to the spice that was a bit off-putting.
When the word "jerk" appears in the description I expect there to be some heat behind it because....that's what jerk seasoning is supposed to do.
These nachos are also topped off with creme fraiche. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have REAL sour cream.
Again, back to my verdict of "interesting". I didn't hate this dish, but I didn't fall in love with it. It's one of those things that I would be happy to eat a bite or two, and then move on to something else.
As far as the rest of the bar goes....I really like this place. It has a real "old bar" feeling to it. The woodwork has been around for a while, and probably has seem some amazing things during its days. There is a decent amount of craft beers available include Bell's Two-Hearted Ale.
The service was fast and attentive, and was quick to make suggestions when and where needed.
Final verdict as a neighborhood bar - Great! -

I'd only ever been here for late night drinks until a few weeks ago. As far as the bar and its service goes, this place is pretty average and gets incredibly packed, so be careful. They quit serving PBR for whatever reason. Perhaps not having PBR is the new hipster? (kidding, folks. PBR will continue to be the hipster standard, I'm sure.)
Now, the food. My boyfriend likes the atomic dogs, which sounded good to me, until I realized how massive it is and got scared. Instead, I got a burger, which was incredible! This burger was cooked on par with B Spot's and the greasiness made it even better! Fries were delicious and much like "fair fries" (grease), and when covered in malt vinegar, they are even better! Overall, it was a surprisingly superb meal, grease and all.
I must say, when ordering I was torn between the burger and pretty much everything else. The menu is diverse and tantalizing, though small. -

I'm starting to really enjoy the special menu options ABC runs on a daily basis. I indulged in two recently. One was the "mike roman burger," which was basically a take on Mr. Hero's roman burger, but ABC style. Can't lose. The other was a spicy po' boy topped with three mustards, onions, peppers, and cheese. Damn delicious. Would love to see these both on the regular menu.
In other news, RIP to the 16 oz PBR cans. The one bartender said there was a distributor problem. They replaced them with Genesee (insert standard Bear Grylls reaction after eating a bug - - gross). Never fear though, as I met the buck fifty Black Label can. Not a terrible taste. And cheap. Happy Hour also sports some higher class bottled choices at solid prices. And to the bartender always in the backwards Chicago Blackhawks hat, you rock. Easily one of my favorite bartenders in the city.2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

ABC Tavern was a happy mistake. I was in Cleveland for the holidays visiting my family and friends at the Garage Bar across the street. I had bought gloves and shanghaied someone's scarf and wondered what part of spending winter in Cleveland was a good idea. After drinking at the Garage Bar, my friend said, "I'm hungry." She and I dumped our friends and texted them to meet us across the street at the ABC Tavern.
I won't go into the 1950 nudes in the back, the bowling machine, the upper area private area, or how my friend and I played "Can You Spot the Lesbian," which I won, because the bi girl I spotted was used as the tie breaker.
What I will talk about was how my friends and I discovered two key things there. The first one was called Kentucky Bourbon Ale. I stopped drinking Christmas Ale that night (and who was the moron who started this lacing the rim with cinnamon? This is coming from a California guy and we're the ones who shove oranges into our beers), but I've digressed, and made new friends with the Kentucky Bourbon Ale and it gave me its number. I'm waiting three days to call, but I want to call it now. I texted Christmas Ale and said we have to see new people.
The second thing I discovered there was the Atomic Dog. I was drunk and hungry. If I smoked weed, I can only imagine how much tastier it would be. I even went back the next day sober to see if I was right and you know what, I was. Now close your eyes. Actually don't, you can't read the rest of it if you. Get someone to read the rest to you. Make it your mom. I'll wait.
Still waiting.
All right, close your eyes and imagine the best hot dog that you'll ever taste. It's big and juicy. It is the gayest experience in your mouth next to that one and only time your uncle babysat you and let you drink all those tasty wine coolers all night long. The hot dog is wrapped with bacon and the dogs are sliced, and inside are jalapeño peppers. I believe there is a hollandaise sauce on the hot dog. It's not just food, it's an explosion in your mouth. -

I'm starting to think that divey pubs with unexpectedly divine bar food is a Cleveland's expertise.
No, I'm serious. ABC Tavern nails bar food. Not just any old greasy grub though. This is borderline gastropub faire with unique, delicious twists and a hot-damn-that's-cheap price tag.
For instance, you can grab something traditional like a fresh, juicy hamburger or something a little different like a lamb quesadilla with cucumber sauce. All of the menu is made from ingredients fresh from the West Side Market too, which is just the icing on the cake (or the ketchup on the fries).
A large and vast brew selection doesn't hurt my love for ABC either. From cheap domestics and throwbacks to pricey imports and micros, they'll most likely have whatever you're looking for. And with fast, friendly and talkative service to boot? Someone calls Wayne's World 'cause I feel a "schwing" coming on!
Lastly, like many other bars in C-Town, ABC Tavern certainly isn't lacking in the atmosphere department. You can tell it's got history coming out its butt, plus some to spare. Old-school bar bowling? Check! Room for a private party upstairs? Oh yeah, they've got that too. My only issue came from not realizing how loud those damn bowling machines actually are-- especially when played by drunk people who are trying to throw the ball through the thing. Yikes.
Added bonus? This bar runs on a jukebox, people! I love that kind of vibe in a smaller bar, so don't forget to bring your dolla-dolla bills, y'all! -

Review from Rachel B.
I really enjoyed this dive. Cara hosted a great happy hour (and I got me some fingerless gloves, woohoo!). They have a really long bottled beer list and I got my favorite (Left Hand Milk Stout). As per the other reviews, the staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
They have an old-school bowling game at the front and a pretty large area upstairs for gatherings. The main area is spacious and was adorned nicely with Christmas lights and a cute tree.
I have heard great things about the food and I hope that I will get an opportunity to try it next time!Listed in: One Hand on the Horn

So, I came here primarily to get hammered. And they did not disappoint! But I did eat here, so I feel like I can review that, real quick. My friend and I came up at ~9:30 tonight. Service: outstanding. Beers: decently priced, and an excellent selection, with several very good local beers. We got the lamb quesadillas and the "shark bites" for our "soak up the booze" meal. The quesadillas were very good, although they were not strictly "quesadillas". They were actually ground curried lamb wrapped in naan, and they were subtly spiced and, with the accompanying fries,very substantial. The shark, on the other hand...hmm. The shark was overcooked and too chewy, and the breading tasted overwhelmingly of Old Bay. That isn't bad, necessarily, but when it overwhelms the flavor of the fish to such a degree, well, not good. Now, it was a Monday, and shark (presumably Mako? The menu was not specific) is a fairly exotic fish, so part of the responsibility for the iffy meal lies upon me, but still: it was not good shark, not at all.. Nonetheless, this is a good bar to drink at and I will definitely be returning (since it's like RIGHT up my street).

Pretty solid bar.
I'm a fan of older bars with character and ABC Tavern definitely has plenty of it. Great atmosphere. Nice beer selection. Amazingly fast and friendly service. Last Friday evening it was packed and you never waited more than a few minutes for a drink.
Food is okay. I had shark bites on my first visit. I don't think I'm a fan of shark -- too fishy tasting.
I like the upstairs thing they have going on.... although when you're downstairs it can feel a bit awkward and you think that the dudes up there are looking down your shirt.Listed in: Are you beersty?!, The O.C.

Good place. Good vibe. Great people. Prices are good during either of the two happy hours (and all day happy hour wednesdays!)
50¢ pool table=awesome.
Problems: it's not a dive bar anymore. Get a toilet seat please.
Other than that, you can probably see me there squandering my money a few days of the week. I like the ABC quite a bit. -

Only gets four stars because having a band play on that upper deck is like some kind of alternate universe where bands perform like air shows. I felt like an idiot standing and staring up the singers shirt.
And damn, that dude was hairy.
Excellent beer selection and the service was friendly, quick, and solid. Never had to stand at the bar and wait for more than a minute, and the place was packed.
So far, this is the only bar on W. 25th that doesn't make me seriously consider opening fire on crowds as a career option. -

Sometimes it's the unexpected, unanticipated events and experiences, ones without any preconceived spoilers that make for the most pure moments in ones life. The latest discovery? ABC Tavern.
Located along the main drag of West 25th in Ohio City, ABC Tavern was a rare and welcoming accident. Last Saturday evening started out with my attempt to use up a Great Lakes Brewing Co. gift certificate that had been burning a hole in my pocket for quite some time. As I would later find out, it wasn't meant to be. At 7:30pm, the wait was close to an hour. Forget it.
A quick brainstorming of a Plan B resulted in my suggestion of a sleepy ol' Tavern with a generic title further on down W. 25th that I've been hearing whispers about. "ABC the Tavern" it was, as proudly and eloquently announced from the vintage art deco-ish marquee above it's entrance.
Inside, my first impressions of the dimly lit dive were of airy comfort in a relaxed atmosphere, all leading to a welcoming place of hospitality, spirit and soul. The space is long and somewhat narrow with tall ceilings. A long stool lined bar runs along the left side wall. A few high tops along the right. A pool table overlooking the entire bar sits a top a loft space.
Throughout our time here, the jukebox continued to pump out timeless classics and groovy tunes. Any man with a lot on his mind shouldn't have to sit alone with his thoughts and a head full of booze. The jukebox was a welcomed friend.
After browsing the extensive list of brews, ranging from the thrifty PBR tall-boy to a near endless list of craft beers that even the most snobbish brew-master would find adequate, I settled on a Dogfish Pêche. My accomplice, an Abita Purple Haze.
The menu was concise, yet well varied and adventurous compared to any other typical dive. Said to be under new ownership (as of last fall) by the same group that owns the nearby West Side Market Cafe, I could tell the menu items were heavily influenced by fresh WSM ingredients. Instead of ordering entrées, we settled on apps of Nacho's & Hummus. Again, both considerably better than what you'd expect from a typical dive bar.
Throughout the meal and my experience at ABC, I'd soon find out this place was anything but "typical". Friendly and accommodating service along with an inventive and inspired menu all in a no-frills, unpretentious space... well this my friends was an unexpected, yet welcome thing. ABC the Tavern, I look forward to my return.Listed in: CLE Bier Guide, Hamburg Throwdown!

Todd Rundgren played here-- or at least he tried. Apparently Liv's stepfather knows someone there, so he "sat-in" with some affiliated craptastic white-boy blues cover band.
Dear craptastic white-boy blues cover band,
When a rock god like Todd Rundgren is playing within 10 miles of your pathetic little band, shave your heads, don saffron robes and meditate in silence. Please don't sing, play lead or, God forbid, solo.

Otherwise, this is a great bar. The food is unreal. I had a "lamb quesadilla", lamb from the West Side Market sauteed with spinach and feta on a pita. Huge, reasonably priced and utterly delicious. Others in my group had the burger, jerk chicken sammy and shark bites. All finished every crumb!
The service is excellent. The staff knows all about the dishes on the menu and all the offerings on their well rounded beer menu. They are friendly, cool and very competent.
Don't be off put by the uber-hipster crowd. A few American Apparelled hipsters may stare at those who don't rock skinny jeans, but the staff definitely makes everyone welcome.Listed in: Dives (in the best possible…

I don't think ABC can fall under the "Dive Bar" category anymore. The menu is well-done and affordable, the beer selection is awesome, and they have bar bowling (need I say more?).
We had a pulled chicken sandwich, a cucumber-red pepper hummus club (there are two layers to the sandwich, hence the "club" moniker) and some very tasty fries. I don't think anything on the menu is over $8.
Service was quick and friendly. I'd go back in a heartbeat. -

My first endeavor to a Cleveland dive. Pretty average looking place. Cheap beer. That kept us happy. I ordered the pork belly BLT from the kitchen. Pretty good, greasy sandwich. Went perfect with the cheap beer. Staff was OK. It took a while for my food to come out because they were really busy and the guy I ordered from looked flustered. People were getting food before me even though they ordered well after I did. All in all, good place to chill.

ABC is an awesome local bar. They have great food, cheap beer and an upstairs pool table.
I love their burgers, currently their special burger is a roman burger knock off which is even better than Mr. Hero's. It has a fresh made patty, grilled salami, cheese and veggies. Its served with fresh cut 'frites' AKA thin fries. -
Review from Carl A.
Still one of my favorite places to go, even though it's getting a bit overcrowded. The atomic dog is the best wiener to put in your mouth after midnight. Injected with jalapeno? Si, por favor. Always where I end up to get a bunch of drinks, or after having a bunch of drinks. No judging here. At least to my face.

The last place on w 25th where on a Thursday you won't be over run by the people who got bored of w 6th/9th but think they are still there.
they have a pretty damn good beer list, limited on draft but good stuff in bottles. the prices are average to high ($3.50-7.00+ depending). the lamb quesadilla is fantastic and a great value at $6.75. happy hour twice a night, i think 4-7 and then 10-12 mon-fri. a cheap pool table, free darts, old school bowling, flat screens with sports, and super friendly bartenders who are more than willing to chat with you. overall a great bar. -

It's not exactly dark and dank anymore, but definitely not West 6th Sleek. They are armed with a pool table, a dart board, and a bowling machine.
And possibly the best jukebox in Cleveland.
The food is...well, food. It's not bad, not exactly earth shattering...BUT, it's kind of fun to watch the guy make it for you, which he does, enthusiastically (there's an old serving window from which you can spy). He'll even talk to you while busy with his work. And it's all well-priced. Saves you money for the beer and drinks.
And they have a lot of beer and drinks. They have the Brooklyn-ish buck fifty PBR in a can, all the way to the Christmas ales and several other imports and exports.
Given the crowds that I've seen there, this place isn't exactly a secret...but the crowd is fun and diverse. I got into a fun conversation with the gal who owns the building (and the previous owner of the bar). Nice gal.
4 stars for the great beer selection at good prices, the pool table, jukebox and bowling machine.Listed in: The Places I Go Out

good beer selection, awesome staff, nice interior. wish it had a bigger patio type jam because it's summer and i want to be outside, but that's no detriment really.
we stole someone's nachos that they invited us to share, they were delicious. i highly recommend those.
crazy clientele the night we were there - a lot of may december romances and really dressed up babes, but that just made it funnier to be there so that's probably a plus to me.

This is my favorite bar in Cleveland. Black Label and PBR cheap. Great jukebox. Bar bowling. Diverse crowd. But what puts it head and shoulders above every other bar is the service. I've never been in this bar on a weekend when they did not have four bartenders working. On a crowded night, this makes all the difference. A credit to the owner and the staff. I've actually seen the bartenders flagging down patrons to get them a fresh drink. Unheard of.

I had never been in the ABC tavern before it was redone. But I love this new not-so-dark and dank interior. They have a good beer selection (although to be honest I usually stick with the cheap wimpy beers such as PBR or Miller Lite).
The food, though, is a step up above normal dive food. With all their ingredients coming from the Westside market, they have some pretty solid food items. The pork belly sandwich contains thick cuts of crispy bacon and comes with thin delicious fries.
My friends and I shared an atomic dog. A huge jumbo hot dog stuffed with jalepenos and then wrapped in bacon. Wow. It was ridiculously good but there was no way I could have eaten the whole thing without a guilt trip following.
The decor is bordering on dive but is still very comfortable and well-lit. The music comes from Pandora and has varied from 80's ballads to 90's pop rock the times I have been there. The clientele is nice, if not bordering on too nice as we had more than one person feel it was appropriate join in our conversation without being asked. Overall, the place is comfortable and a great place to just chill. -

I really hate to say it. I think this bar has replaced Edison's as my favorite. Not really though. The same level of drunkenness is not felt here. Possibly because of the high ceilings. Probably because I have to drive here and not stumble home listening to the Geto Boys "My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me". The beer list is solid, been drinking Ithica's Flower Power, plus they had the Crooked Tree Double IPA. There are sometimes girls in here, which trumps Edison's in that category, but I hope that this review doesn't start sending more dudes to this spot like a feeding frenzy because there was already enough dudes in the joint. Go to the new Larry Flynt Hustler Club.
