    First time visiting Cleveland and the Corner Alley, food quality-wise, didn’t disappoint. If you love fried food with sauces then this is your go-to spot. It’s family friendly with the Bowling and has a bar area if you’re into sports. Only downside is that service is quite slow and it took us a good 30-40 minutes to receive our food. They also don’t accept cash payment. 2 stars because as we were paying, the machine had a 18%, 20% or 25% tip option. I chose the custom option to go with the usual 15%. At first I didn’t ask for the receipt, but before leaving I did. I see that our final receipt has about 3$ more than planned. I calculated and turns out the waiter removed my 15% tip and chose 20% himself (this happened because they have a machine where you choose tips and only the waiter can press “finalize transaction” -beware of this to not get $ stolen). Date and time of visit: January 1st, 2023, 2:45pm

    The staff was extremely friendly. They have a huge bar and dining area in the front. The bowling alley is in the back with several arcade games. Great time for friends or family. Highly recommend 💚 💯💯

    Should be a nice sports bar on E 4th street...but failed to deliver. Went on a Sunday evening to watch some Sunday Night Football but for some reason they were not able to show NBC so I had to watch on my phone. The food was decent. Big selection of beers, though the first 2 I ordered were out. Service was ok. There is a bowling alley in the back which I did not try. Cool spot...but some misses from a sports bar perspective.

    Corner Alley has great food and a very cool atmosphere. I haven't always had the best service unfortunately. There's a good beer selection and the bowling is awesome for a party or date night! The loaded fries were delicious and the portions are huge. It’s a great spot on East 4th if you’re looking for something casual!

    The Corner Alley is a fun, family friendly place to spend a rainy spring afternoon-or any afternoon. The staff is accommodating. The service is prompt. The nachos were tasty. During week days, rent an alley for $25/hr.

    Best thing about this place is the atmosphere. It's a bowling alley inside and has patio seating with cool views of the surrounding area. Food was not good. We ordered spring rolls that seemed like they were from the frozen food aisle, I ordered a salad and it came out lukewarm. Condiments were provided in plastic solo cups with lids. Service was also lacking. We arrived to a team of hosts talking amongst themselves, one of them was playing a Rubik's cube, we had to address them twice to be seated. Waitress only addressed my husband the entire time we were there. Didn't present me with check before hand, only presented it to me while expecting me to pay it at the moment via her device, while looking over my shoulder. Overall, they charge nice restaurant prices and provide a food from a nightclub experience. Things are sticky, served in plastic, etc. Meh.

    We came bowling for an hour and dessert. The services and servers were amazing! This is the ONLY bowling facility around Cleveland that is ADA! We loved every second of our time there! We recommend this place for bowling and servers who work well with the handicap community.

    Not good. Bartenders more concerned about their cellphones. Not very friendly. In their defense, observed several instances of rude customers with little or no tips. Food was average and came very quickly. Only bright spot. Used to enjoy this establishment. Not any more.

    Asked for a table was told could not have specific tables due to strict server rotation … I get it was in the business. Said we would wait until that table rotated to open and had drinks at bar. Never acknowledged 90 min later. Asked for a table 2 hours later sat down no server for 15 minutes. Not good service at all amongst other things I will not mention. Shape up please!!! We need you!

    We stayed across the street in a hotel and were pleased to see this place. If you like bowling and having a few drinks in a cool atmosphere loaded with TVs and friendly people be sure to stop in and play. They charge by the hour-which I think is fantastic-and are quite reasonable. The food and drink prices were also very reasonable. Cool place!

    The Corner Alley is a fun place to spend time with family and friends! We decided to try the bowling and the lanes were great. The server came by frequently to check on us and to take our drink and food orders. We had the 4 piece chicken tenders. They were really big and the breading is fairly light. The chicken was moist! Our drinks were excellent. I had a strawberry mimosa that was quite refreshing. All in all, it was a great place to spend our evening!

    Worst restaurant I tried in US. It took about half an hour to prepare my husband order and when he finished his food after 20 minutes they brought my food. They were so slow while it was not crowded. The food was very bad. We ordered Italian pizza, hamburger and wings and we couldn’t eat any of them. Pizza was cold and very little amount of cheese. Hamburger was so salty and wings was very small portion and very oily. I will not try it again and I won’t suggest it to anyone.

    Ordered at the bar and we asked if it was okay that we sit outside and the bartender said it was fine. They were very slow and there was only one other group outside. 15 minutes later, a waitress comes outside and gets really snippy and starts lecturing us about not going to the hostess stand for a table, to which we said we had no idea because the bar said it was fine. Apparently it wasn’t. She then loudly complained to the other servers outside about us and then started putting out reserved signs “so it doesn’t happen again.” We ended up finishing our drinks and leaving. Didn’t feel very welcomed after that. She for real needs an attitude check!

    We didn’t order food, stopped in for a drink waiting for a table down the street on a Friday night. Full and vibrant crowd but plenty of open seating/not too crowded. Decent bar with bowling alley. Family friendly. Large draft/bar selection. Good service

    Fantastic bar and beautiful property but we played an arcade game there and won 3 prizes that were stuck in the dropper of the machine, we asked for help from 3 different employees and received no help. Great place but not very helpful after spending 30$ on their arcade games.

    This is the second consecutive year my girlfriend and I have rung in the New Year. The bartenders Greg, Ashley and Justina always take care of us with magnificent bartending skills and they go out of their way to make sure our food is well-cooked and fresh. This is one of the most fun places to have a good time in all of Downtown Cleveland.

    We had drinks, appetizers, and dinners here. To sum it up I wish we had a drink and an app then went somewhere else for dinner. Friend liked his chicken sandwich. The fries were good. My smash burger tasted super salty.

  • 2/5 Gina marie Pascual G. 1 year ago on Google
    In general, the food was good, even though they brought me a burnt chicken, the employees in the bar area and the kitchen were very attentive, now if you are Latino, make sure you know English because they are friendly with gay people but not with Latinos, a person who He was in the bowling area apparently playing in his break because he was a worker, there was a minute left until the game was over, however when the ball finished, this employee who had been there since we started playing until the last time, started yelling on his own because the vola kept running and was pedantic even having children with us and being in non-working or working hours but playing and drinking if you are Latino make sure you speak very good English because if not in case of any moment of racism or bad behavior of someone employee you can defend yourself. They have to be a little more adult and when a situation happens and they see children, do not behave like a pedant yelling for everyone to hear. sorry bad time

    Visiting Cleveland, decided to stop by here for a drink after a show tonight. Arrived at 12.45AM, tried to get attention of staff with my mum to order drinks. Completely ignored. So no, I do not recommend this place. Maybe don't ignore customers for 30 minutes and then tell us it's last call when we finally have to shout over people to be served. When we asked one of the bar staff why it is other people who had come after us were served, her response was "what do you want", as in drinks. Not one to press about this kind of treatment as it's mostly not worth my energy but I was with my mum, visiting and this made us feel unwelcome.

    Food was delicious! Staff was very friendly and helpful! Bowling was fun, pricing for lanes after 5pm is a little expensive. Overall great time!! Although it is sad, they no longer have the game room downstairs.

    Everything about this bar was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff and greeter was very nice. Our waiter was amazing, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh and awesome. Great atmosphere with really nice people. Shoutout to Chewy, our server, for making this such a great experience for all of us. Someone better give this man a raise.

  • 5/5 Joe B. 1 year ago on Google
    We always stop here toward the end of our night for a couple more. Service is usually pretty consistent. They have a huge bar so you can usually find a seat. Last night we had the best bartender, Kat. She was killing it no one wanted for a drink and totally had that bar going. Thanks again for another fun night!

  • 5/5 Stephen F. 2 years ago on Google
    Corner Alley is amazing! If you're looking for a nice place to get a drink on 4th st, it's for you. Want some great food from a full kitchen? Perfect. Want some clean, well maintained lanes? You're looking at it. I went with a few friends on a Sunday morning and the staff was friendly, professional and ready to help is have a great time. I highly recommend it for families, friends and soon to be friends. If you're in downtown Cleveland, go!

    I went here tonight with a friend. Very disappointing. We were first timers and as soon as we sat down, our waitress came over not very friendly and introduced herself. Then she asked if we wanted drinks. So we asked if she could give us a moment. She did come back with drinks. She i'd me and my friend and not two other older women. I also notcied she immediately brought them waters and didn't even offer us any. I ordered a 4th st punch which has 2 different kinds of liquor. My friend orders a glass of Chardonnay. We waited 10 minutes for a 3 ingredient drink and a glass of wine. I used the bathroom and then only one minute after sitting down, she asks what we want to eat. We ask her to give us more time. I decided on a smash burger and my friend ordered a Buffalo chicken pizza. The dough is already pre cooked. It took 20 minutes and she DIDN'T EVEN BRING US OUR FOOD. The burger was a little under seasoned but it was still pretty good. She gave us 10 minutes to eat and then asked if we wanted to close out. She literally didn't smile until I paid for everything.

    Absolutely awful service.Will never go again. The manager was dropping F bombs around my child. They don’t have a drink menu for non alcoholic and now I know why. They charge for refills and did not tell me. Waiter checked on us maybe 2 times the whole meal. We multiple times had to track him down due to various mistakes. My food came out ice cold I got the nachos and the chicken was never warm. The ranch was 50 cent a piece (also wasn’t on the menu and waiter didn’t tell us) not to mention we ordered 3 and was brought 6 and was charged for 6. We also Talked to managers about our experience and they were not apologetic at all and voiced they would much rather be enjoy new years a different way. Very unprofessional no restaurant should be open if this is how they treat there customers.
