    Absolutely loved Porcos. It was shut down for ~17 months, so I'm glad it's back in action. It was packed, but good turnover at the bar gave us seats before our first round was poured. The food was as good as the drinks. Porcos will literally make you feel like you're in the tropics, on an island somewhere. Quite the oasis.

    Impromptu date night. Porco Tiki Bar on 25th Street in Ohio City. It started as “do you want to go out for a drink?”. It ended with a couple of weird Tiki drinks and some Lumpia( egg rolls ) & Chicken tacos. Food ( bar snacks) are cooked on a little grill and fryer until until they run out. Tapas style. The stars here are the drinks. My wife’s drink was a “Planet Of The Apes” - Banana and Pineapple, as handed down by the Lawgiver. and mine was a “Fog Cutter” - So foggy it smokes, orange with a back bone of almond. ( they wouldn’t tell us what was in each - super secret ). Mine came out Smokey and not very strong which was good for me. Wife’s drink was knee buckling strong. Great times. Great atmosphere. Yep….Cool place with a cool vibe. Reservations recommended.

    Super fun tiki bar! Atmosphere is so nice and makes you feel like you're on vacation. Plenty of drink options although definitely on the pricier side.

    Such a fun tiki bar! The drinks were over-the-top in their themed glasses and fruit toppings. All drinks are $15, and they're a good size portion. Also delicious!! They've got a small food menu, but I wouldn't plan to eat a meal here or anything-- the food is in tiny portions for snacking. If your party is more than 2 people I would highly recommend making a reservation if you want to sit. There's standing room, but not many places to put your drink down. Got there at 7pm on a Fri and was lucky to get a spot at the bar for 2. When we left there were about 10 people standing waiting for a bar seat. They do a great job making sure everyone standing is taken care of, though!

    Porco Lounge redefines what an urban oasis can be with its enchanting ambiance and high-quality, authentic tiki cocktails. From the moment you step inside, you’re swept away to a tropical paradise, a true testament to the creativity and thoughtfulness that went into the décor.

    The wait staff was excellent and more than accommodating on getting us a booth. I can't say enough great things about our waiter! The food was over the top and we will be back again. My suggestion if you haven't been here yet get the platter it is excellent with wide variety of tasty treats.

    A top rated rum lovers paradise. Well done Porco! Don't forget to wear a tropical shirt to blend in. I wonder where he gets all the tiki paraphernalia?

    Every city seems to have its hidden gems and I like to think my superpower is sussing them out. I'll be honest, I was not prepared for what I would find when we walked south on 25th Street over the railroad tracks on a bridge our Uber driver suggested we not cross. I think he may not have wanted us to find Porco's. The building isn't much to look at, and I suspect that's part of the allure of finding places like this... you have to want to be there. Inside, we were greeted by Sean, who has been mixing Tiki drinks at Porco's for years. We sat down, he poured daiquiris without us asking for anything--an amuse-bouche before the main course? Yes please. We spent a pleasant afternoon working our way though the menu with Sean, an attentive bartender who explained things to us, knew when to engage and when to step back, and most importantly, absolutely crushed the cocktails. The interior of Porco's is fun, the right distraction you need, the music, the vibe, the drinks all transport you far away from the hot sidewalks outside. I'll be back, but I'll share with you that when in Cleveland, one must visit Porco's. (*My 5 Star Rating here for "FOOD" should be understood to mean "Tiki Drinks.")

    See I love to have a fun but don’t we all. Do yourself a favor order from the drink menu they give you. Before you know it you will be laughing and having a great time. I recommend using Uber or Lyft and allow yourself the following day off. Have fun, let your hair down and just exhale.

    Huge fan! I’ve been coming here for years, and my family and I have made Porco our birthday celebration every year! Newer staff and they are amazing. Informative and super friendly. Andy was my bartender and I loved him!! I will definitely be back!

    This is one of those tiki bars that you know "gets it" as soon as you walk in the door. Even working within the constraints of Ohio's liquor laws, they are concocting escapist magic in every glass. Fun atmosphere, great ambiance, and a friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff means an experience I can't wait to enjoy time and time again. Also, ALSO, the food is some of the best I've ever had at a bar which is the florescent green mermaid on top. A slice of paradise in the heart of Cleveland. I regret that I have but only 5 stars to give.

    A shining jem in the Cleveland area. Drinks are amazing, atmosphere takes you away to another place Can't wait to go back again and try the creative menu choices! Well worth checking out

    If you're in the area of Cleveland, Ohio, and looking for a spot to enjoy a good drink, check this spot out. A mixology approach is taken in the preparation of cocktails! Fresh juices and syrups are prepared in-house daily. The staff will guide you through the menu if you're not sure of a drink selection. There are bite-sized food selections offered to provide soakage, and they're tasty. This is a tiki bar, and the decor helps to transport you to a tropical getaway! Definitely stop by, grab a stool, and enjoy good drink and amazing people!

    Went as a largish party for a friend's birthday surprise. Drinks are well-mixed and fun while food hits the sweet spot between simple and tasty. What got me, though, was how friendly and welcoming staff working that night were. I've never encountered folks so eager to show you what their place is about. Genuinely good people.

  • 5/5 Kate L. 1 year ago on Google
    The perfect tiki feel, cozy, tropical, and dark. I liked this place from the moment I walked in. Their drinks are well made and their staff is passionate about what they do. Even other patrons were friendly and kind.

    If you've come across this place and are considering going, the debate is now over - go. The menu is vast and wonderful. If you're new to tiki drinks or have only had cheap, overly sweetened cocktails - give this place a try. There certainly are options on the sweeter side but there's a vast array of flavors and base spirits and I'm positive you can find something you'll love. If you're a connoisseur of tiki, well then this is your place. Here you'll find multiple split base spirits, a ton of rum options, homemade falernum, and the best garnished drinks I've ever seen. The presentation of each was absolutely top notch. Bonus here was a Filipino pop up kitchen which was also very nice.

    Porco Lounge & Tiki Room is an incredible tiki bar hidden away off the highway in Cleveland. The themeing is over the top mid century modern with little details everywhere you look. Delicious tiki drinks and tasty small plate food options. I tried mutiple drinks but my favorites were The Shining Wizard (a super funky jamaican pot still cocktail colored green) and the Heart of Darkness (a delectable and mysterious red tiki drink with lots of passion fruit and dark rum). The taco trio I ordered was perfect and it had some very sweet and spicy sauce on it. The scorpion bowl is authentic Trader Vic’s and is a great value because they give you a lot! I do wish I would ordered one the other shareable tiki bowls as they sounded more interesting but cost more but also served more people (it was just me and my girlfriend). Service was excellent and they made us feel like Ohana! I'm from Detroit but from now on, every time I go to Cedar Point I'm going to stop here because it's definitely worth the drive! Thank you Porco's for keeping tiki alive!

    They were so accommodating and welcoming. Addies cup and morbius were hosting coffee and brunch respectively and were amazing as well! The drinks were perfect and delicious. The Addie’s cup went out of her way to make a custom non booze drink for us and it did not disappoint!

    1st time and what a fun place. Transported to an island. The outside patio looks so inviting and has heaters.

  • 2/5 Jennifer B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had such a terrible experience here last weekend. We made a reservation for 5 a couple weeks early, more than 48 hours before I gave notice and got the okay for 2 more. When we showed up we got a booth for 4 and extra chairs off to the side. This made conversation difficult. The service was not good. We showed up on time at 8:30. Didn't get a server til 8:45ish and our first drinks didn't come til after 9. A couple of us attempted a second round of drinks, when we got to order them, they took so long I had to flag our waiter and ask about them. They were taken to the wrong table. In two hours we were only able to get one full round of drinks. We were all super disappointed.

    Completely unplanned adventure out to cleveland had us blown away by @porcolounge and its incredibely friendly, knowledgable, and skilled staff! Pictures and video on their google page truly dont do this place or its drinks justice (as commented on by Merkayla herself). I found myself continually saying “This completely blew my expectations away!” For context when approaching this place it does seem small, but only from the outside- once you get in your greeted by the tiki guarding this place and enter into a massive lounge area with private tiki huts and a tiki room sporting decor from every walk of americas tiki history- including little homages to the now defunct Kahiki supper club! The size of this place was just right for a tiki bar in my opinion, though tall people be warned when you go to use the bathroom, the trade off of a massive main floor was definitely the low baring basement. Atmosphere aside- the food and drinks: we had the pleasure of sitting at the bar and had the tone of the night set by our bartender Shawn and the rest of the bar crew. The drinks were phenomenal, as a sober skull im always weary when there are only a few options for non-alchoholic beverages but porcos had me covered by not only having quite a wide selection but also very prominently labeling them on their menu! My favourite of the night was a porcos staple: The Curse! Another i tried was of course their Mai-Tai which was lovely, i always try to sample a mai-tai everywhere we visit-but the curse was absolutely the stand out for me! In terms of food they have a great assortment of tacos and finger foods like tofu fries. The fries were good however i do wish they could have been a bit stiffer for dipping, but the chicken tacos specifically blew our collective minds with their addition of pineapple it sits just right in the palette 🙏🏻 excellent. Overall our experience was terrific and both of us highly recommend hitting them up when youre in the cleveland area next! Theres so much more i could say but ill save it for when i visit next :D thankyou again to everyone at porcos, we cant wait to come back!

    Porco is a one-of-a-kind place! I've been here many times, sometimes with a large group and even just solo at the bar as well, and I've always had a lovely experience. The servers are efficient, friendly and uniquely knowledgeable about mixology/Tiki drinks in a way that most establishments just cannot compare. Porco is a popular place, but even on busy nights, the servers are happy to help you interpret the menu and choose the best cocktail for you. The drinks are strong, delicious, visually stunning and well worth the price. And the small plates they offer are super tasty and perfect to soak up a bit of alcohol. If you're looking for a really special experience, especially for out-of-town pals, bring them to Porco. You won't regret it.
