    A fun neighborhood bar. We were with a large group and had a lot of fun in the upper story "loft". The loft overlooks the bar and has a very well used pool table. The two pool sticks available were held together with duct tape. It made the games fun! Everyone had the same handicap. The bar seems quite old and has much of the original woodworking and flooring. Reasonably priced drinks.

    Soooo glad that 𝐀𝐁𝐂 𝐭𝐑𝐞 π“πšπ―πžπ«π§ kitchen was still operating on a late Saturday night. I ordered a bbq pulled chicken sandwich with fries. It was absolutely good. Washed down with a pineapple 🍍 cider draft beer 🍺. My night was made πŸ‘πŸΎ great eats!

    This place is fantastic. The Atomic Dog will be forever etched in your memories. Never had a hot dog like it. Beer selection is great too.

    GREAT LITTLE PLACE. GREAT service. Decent drink selection. The food menu is small but done right. MUST TRY the Pork Belly BLT & the Atomic Dog. GOOD VALUE (two sandwiches with fries + two beers = $30 WILL BE GOING BACK TO TRY THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE MENU.

    Stopped in for a nitecap. Chris our bartender is a total class act and made the stop worth it!! Place has a nice old feel to it and a few old school beers you just don't see anymore. Definitely worth it.

    Cheap beer, great food, and clean, dive-adjacent interior makes for a comfortable and easy place to keep coming back to. The Atomic Dog is an a-time classic, a plump hotdog that they've sliced open, stuffed with jalapeΓ±os, wrapped in bacon, and topped with Sriracha aioli, and put on a toasted bun. Crazy, delicious. Not pictured, but the mango jerk chicken nachos are also addictive.

    The " Tavern Salad" I ordered at a whopping $8 (menu stated it was romaine) was nothing more than a few strips of iceberg lettuce with a majority of hearts that were for the most part inedible. The "fresh cut fries" loaded with salt and overdone. For what I paid I ate about $.50 worth of the food. I would definitely NOT recommend a salad and the fries are probably hit or miss.

    We stopped in on Christmas Eve after a 5 degree Browns game and the staff were great, along with the beer selection. Got to hear a few stories about why they liked working holiday evenings and it was the perfect spot to warm up for a minute with a drink. Definitely worth a stop!

    bartender chris is the reason we go here. we eat out at a bar 4-5x/week and, hands down, chris is the best bartender in cleveland. if i owned a restaurant/bar, i would be recruiting him with a lot of money. he is incredibly professional, 1st & foremost, kind, compassionate. he knows exactly when to follow up. i’ve experienced him having to deal w some difficult customers, and he always does it with grace and professionalism. 6’5”, charming, charismatic, handsome, professional, hard working, model material. then we have the other 2 bartenders that we’ve experienced, that are the complete opposite. the one this evening knows us as regulars, doesn’t acknowledge our presence, chris did all the work, and yet, the great tip that we leave for chris must be split with the other one. if you get to work with chris, you’re lucky. best service easily over summer house, luca, all these higher end places.

    It's a dive bar. Their food is surprisingly good but I wouldn't recommend to go outta your way jsut for this place. Check out Nano Brew across the street instead.

  • 5/5 Greg D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best food you'll ever get, perfect dive bar, cheap drinks, amazing food, great deals. Only down side is there aren't more locations and it's popular so it's going to be busy. Get the Jerk Chicken Nachos ❀️

    Love this place. Big beer list, great food (!!daily specials!!), quality tenders … don’t be a degenerate and ABC is always a great time ⚑️

  • 4/5 Sumare D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool little bar. Food is okay. I don't care for the fries or hush puppies but the atomic dog is good.

  • 5/5 Benjamin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar. Creative menu that isn't out of place, and the beer is fresh and varied. Whenever I get a chance I stop in.

  • 5/5 Matt T. 1 year ago on Google
    ABC is a vibe. Long bar, good service, great drink selections, and tons of seating. Gets crowded on the weekends but it's worth it. Stay until they close for a real treat.

  • 4/5 Troy Troublee S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time for Me. Great atmosphere. The cheeseburger and fries were great. Especially since I am Not a fry guy. I think I may like this one. More to come πŸ’―β€οΈπŸ™πŸΌ

    Never a bad drink. Never a bad time. Great staff and the food is good too!

  • 5/5 Scott K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great drink specials, black label beer and unbelievably local food. In a land of over financed and unoriginal brew pubs this place stands out as what a bar should be! A++ on music that's playing usually also!

  • 5/5 Jonathan K. 1 year ago on Google
    ABC is a great place for a late night burger and fries. For two reasons, the price point and the time in which it is available. 9 dollars out the door, and the kitchen is open later than everyone else.

  • 5/5 Santino W. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome food and staff! Thanks Zak, for the recommendation. Friendly fun and just a great place to go relax and get a.good bite to eat. That bbq chicken quesadila is the πŸ’£! Will be back sooner rather than later.

  • 5/5 Amanda E. 1 year ago on Google
    The bartenders were all kind and attentive. Loved the relaxed atmosphere and the music selection (think like MCR Pandora Radio type of thing). Would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 James B. 1 year ago on Google
    lf you are looking for a "corner bar" atmosphere with good drink prices and great bar food, this is the place. Simple name, simple place, great atmosphere. Upstairs room for pool and small groups. Two outside tables. Everything you need for a meet up with friends.

  • 5/5 Tony 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent atmosphere! Bartenders are awesome. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. I definitely would recommend try ABC Tavern out. You will come back again and again, I promise. Tony

    The staff is amazing. Chris the bartender is the best on 25th if not all of Cleveland. The patrons here are friendly, warm and inviting. Don't miss out!

πŸ‘ March 2022: Stopped here for lunch on a comp from the Jack Casino. They gave me $30 that I used to get the Double melt, tots, vanilla shake, and chili to go. Pros: * Clean restaurant with a bar and plenty of TVs on the walls. * Friendly staff who were attentive to my needs. It was not very busy so...
