    Hidden dive bar gem! What a funky little bar! Cool bartender with the best dress ever, great little side patio, I'd be back in a heartbeat. Very nice diverse crowd too, I could tell people from all walks of life felt comfortable.

    In the labyrinthine heart of Cleveland lies Judd's City Tavern, a sanctuary where surreal meets the sublime. The bar staff possess a warmth that defies the ordinary, weaving a tale of hospitality that lingers in the soul. Amidst this enigmatic ambiance, the melodies spun by DJs on Wednesday and Friday nights cast an ethereal spell, guiding patrons through a mesmerizing journey. Each note, each smile, becomes a page in a narrative of camaraderie and delight. Judd's City Tavern transcends the realms of reality, offering an experience reminiscent of my own surreal narratives, where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary. An escapade here is a sojourn into the surreal, leaving visitors, forever changed and enchanted.

    8-11Happy hour, the beers are fairly cheap ranging from 1.50 to 6. Plus the beer & shot options are great as well. The decorations are unique, I never seen so many collectables under one roof. bartender is awesome great guy even better sense of humor. Very lay back environment and a kitchen is in the works, so hopefully we will see some great items

    Judds is a breath of fresh air. I think it’s the best Friday nights, local DJs mix up some funky tunes, blending seemlessly with classic hip-hop, followed by some smooth early 90’s r&b. Bartenders are all cool and actually attentive. I feel like they want me to drink, the way its meant to be.

    What a hidden gem. Very nostalgic bar. Tons of unique, authentic old signs and pictures adorning the walls. You can still get a beer for $2.00.

    Funions, roller dogs, fernet, Coors Banquet, and a crack head named Mama who greets you at the door. Rich local flavor. Great bartenders.

    Love this place! For a “dive” bar it’s hardly a dive! Exceptionally clean and the bartenders were friendly and efficient. The memorabilia on the walls keep you entertained and love that they have live music every weekend. Being pet friendly, offering hot dogs and chips to snack on, and board games are all very welcome bonuses! We will visit many more times and so happy we found this place.

    It's not a bad little bar it was pretty packed when I was in there on Friday night. It's owned by a cop so even though I haven't been there too many times I would assume people are smart about not having drama there hopefully.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 1 year ago on Google
    Super chill atmosphere, chill live music and incredibly affordable pricing is the perfect combination for a fun night out. I had the best New Year's Eve here this year, they had a DJ playing mostly 90s music and a live drummer backing him up. Probably the most fun I've had in quite some time.

😠 The best thing about this place is the decor and the gift shop. The food is more salty than a crusty old pirate. The server was great. My drink order was wrong, got a new one.
