Reviews of Barley House (Night Club)

George Keeper

The food was very good, Staff friendly, floors sticky. Needed a little cleaning. Overall loved it.

Emerson Lake

No attentive service on a dead night. Very disappointing.

Noah R

The drinks were reasonably priced, a fun atmosphere. Drastically changed vibe around 10pm from a restaurant/pub to a club type of feel. Bartenders were very friendly, professional, and I never had to wait too long to be served. I didn't order any food but I have heard it is good. Very fun, would go again certainly. Definitely enough seating as well.

Anthony Sciuto

Drink, seating and dance floor capacity, and music was good. They also have large bottles displayed on the wall which were cool to look at. Curiously, when I asked for water, I was told they were only offering bottled water at a small fee.

Young TKC

Worst staff and security you could encounter at a bar / club .. Would not recommend coming here

Paul Forsgren

Great food at lunch! Salads are fresh and the chicken was perfectly cooked.

DJ Contra

Great place to drink, best spot on the strip, wish I could get on this lineup

CharM H

A fun place to go on the weekends. Loud music, a great mix of people and good drinks. I only wish it was a little larger and the drink service was a little faster. It can get very crowded at times. Other than that, I like it!

Thomas J Rowley

Great lunchtime salad bar,best in the area and the service is top notch. I would plan ahead if you are going on a Friday, because they fill up quickly.

Fuze Johnny

Helo my name is Alison burrgez I didn’t enjoy the meal and the staff were verly rude when I asked them if I could have flies with that

150 limited

The food is terrible, service is terrible, and so on. Bouncers are rude and not professional. I do not recommend this place to anyone ever.

Craig Sippola

Always love the GOAT salad for lunch

Eric Reimer

Door man needs an attitude adjustment. I spent my money somewhere else. Won't go there again. Most places want you to spend your money. Not just turn you away at the door for no reason.

Steven Wallace

An absolutely professional operation. Excellent service, surprisingly decent prices, expertly designed sound and lighting, and hot staff. It's worth the drive from anywhere in Northeast Ohio.

Denise Flitcraft

Service sucked. Brunch menu was our only option.

alec miller

One of the best bars I’ve ever been to on my life. Great experience, great service, don’t listen to the 1 star reviews. They’re all punk kids who probably haven’t even been there.

Bubba Bentley

It was ok bartender had the personality of a platter of piss.

Jack Tibbitts

I'd have never guessed it but the Browns tailgate party is an awesome time with affordable beers. I will stop before my next game. Beers are only five bucks for a tall boy and of course pumpkin head is there.

Tiffanee Warner

Good meal. Service was spotty for a Saturday at 5 (one other table).

L G

Amazing service and food. The staff are really professional but fun at the same time. Went a couple months back while I was visiting friends and the next time I make it back, you can believe I'll be there!

David Perez

So for whatever reason I wasn’t allowed in for wearing my timberlands. Despite it being mid January with an inch of snow, it’s ok, I’ll respect the dress code for any establishment. The issue in this review is that while I was waiting for my group to leave the bouncer walked in about 8 people wearing boots. I even brought it to his attention but he didn’t really care about policy suddenly. The dress code is not posted on the website so I guess it’s just a filtering tool for people like me, but that’s my experience. I didn’t have this issue with velvet dog, liquid, dive bar or any other local places.

Sean Herbst

Had a great time, good atmosphere and not too loud. Will go back as it was fun.

Glynis Caluducan-Tomoletz

Food was good but I was only drinking water. I would have to ask for it twice each time before I actually got it.

michelle krekus

Fun bar with adequate room to dance!

Brad D

Very friendly staff, great food and fast drinks

Salty Dog

Very, very Very Cool Place!!! Hottest Bartenders In The City, and plus The Food is Awesome!! My Favorite Part is the Back Heated Patio.... Could make for a Great Tuesday Night Poker Room!!! ;) The Fact that President Clinton Partied their is Rock Star Status!! Thank You for The Bartenders.... How Do You Do It?!?! Fudge....4am Bar on Saturday Nights?!!!!!!!

Travis Craig

No where to sit (unless you have a special party arrangement), but it's pretty exciting. I'd go back.

Holliday WhoKnows

Terrible staff, terrible service, terrible environment. So unprofessional.

Roxanne L

Music is pretty good, has a cute outdoor area and drinks are reasonably priced (from what I've seen). Only downfall is that it can get crowded fast on a Saturday night and the area for standing and dancing is narrow.

Wendy J

Barley House has great tasting food and good customer service. All to be enjoyed in a space with very good atmosphere. Go try it for yourself. Kyrie liked it enough to host his 21st Birthday party here.

Rayna Henry

For the price, the food here is good. You can't beat a $9 soup and salad bar. Nothing special, but the service was great. Good for a quick and cheap lunch.

Kiioty

I got served quickly by very upbeat employees

Michele Arquette

Great food and beer list..fun place

Mg D

Good food great atmosphere for lunch or s night out

Brett Washburn

Fun place great drinks and good food

Babydoll Lisa

Lots of changes here. Security check in at the door now, people dress up more than they did a couple years ago. Plastic cup drinks that cost more. Fairly stuck up bartenders, way too crowded to dance and to loud to chill. Could use a better dj and a layout that makes the dance floor more accessible. Still a bathroom attendant in there working for tips. Attractive crowd.

Amanda Ferri

Super fun time!! Awesome service and very chill atmosphere. Food was delicious!!! Will be watching Browns games there more often.

Kurtis Feigle

Not a bad place if you enjoy crowds and waiting for drinks. Couldn't order a Tito's Press... Was told they only have regular Tito's.

Johnathan Doetter

Amazingly beautiful women. Good service. Pretty expensive otherwise 5 stars.

Tom Bowser

Great stop for a quick lunch and they get you on your way fast. Good pricing and friendly service

posisteve

came in for a quick lunch. the buffalo chicken pizza was tasty

Taysean Davis

My glass and flatware were dirty. The food was decent. Our server was very friendly.

jessica frye

Soup and salad are the best!

Paul Buchanan

Terrible place, I'm from Northern Ireland UK, it's been my first time on holiday in the US, I can say I will never be back. The staff have a bad attitude, When I asked for a refill at the bar the bartender was always hesitant to do it. one of the bouncers have a bad attitude, definitely different service from the UK service.

Christopher Clemons

The food is flavorful, as well as the crew. This is really one of favorite local restaurants. The drinks are really amazing.

Everett Stewart

One of the most popular bars in downtown Cleveland.

Das Salad

bouncer and staff hits and chokes innocent people, dont recommend unless you're into that kind off stuff!

shaaloook

Atrocious customer service, aggressive employees and terrible food. WOULD NOT RECOMMENT

Sara Calvey

Ive only ever gone at night when its a club. Expensive drinks but you're downtown so everywhere is going to be a little pricey. Great music and a fun place to let loose. Clientele is a younger crowd so if you're looking for something sophisticated this isn't for you. I always have a good time. Location is easy to get to and its right by a lot of other bars/clubs.

Kellie Roper

I ordered the fish tacos to go and I only had fish in two of three of them so BAD SERVICE AND ZERO STARS

Fred Galloway

Great place to have a good time without all the Riff Raff!

James Dobbins

Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful place. Very nice people.

Jason Hoy

Awesome salad bar at lunch time. The potato bacon soup is a must as well, also on the salad bar. One of my favorite lunch spots with coworkers.

Taylor Berila

A group of friends and I went downtown over the weekend and I had bought $30 worth of alcohol for my friends and I, when I had asked for a cup of water also. The bartender then proceeded to tell me that I would need to buy a bottle of water for $3... I told them I only wanted a glass of water not a bottle. However, she said I needed to purchase a bottle of water because after 10pm that's their policy.... it was 10:02pm. I find this policy absolutely ridiculous.. never have I been to a bar before that refused to give me a glass of water especially when I am a PAYING customer. Will never go back here again due to this experience. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Felipe de Morais

The burger is very big, three kind of that you need to use knife and fork.

Leo Gocemen

Best bar ever

ROB HADDAD

Worst place ever!! We’ll be filing a complaint with BBB. We were visiting from Mississippi and we made a reservation for a VIP table for 14 people ( all couples) . Half an hour after we sat down, bouncer told us we have to move because an MBA player wants to sit where we were sitting so they moved us to a small table that barely fits 4 people. That corner was so crowded, shoulder to shoulder and bunch of people walking back and forth. We decided to leave because that was not what we reserved and there was no room for us to sit down but the server wouldn’t give me my credit card back unless I pay for the bottle of vodka that we ordered ($200) !! We Would never go back there. Watch out y’all !! This place would kick you out at any min if someone with money comes and pays them more than you !! Worst place in Cleveland

Scott Spencer

Went to Barley House on the recommendation of a Celevelander, it didn’t dissapoint. The food, the service and the friendliness of the bartenders was above expectations. Taylor was awesome, would definitely go back to have her serve me again. She was cute and handled the bar awesome. 5 stars.

Jennifer Shernit

poor service, not enough tables, over an hour wait ...while unsuccessfully trying to swoop tables, unqualified staff unable to take orders, bring orders, get the bill correct, or even fix the bill that was obviously wrong even to her as well....... really? REALLY? we were there for a function that the "Barley House" opted to host, every other bar on our trip was closed to the public, had the proper amount of employees to serve us, and honestly we had no other issues even come up that evening except here. will never come back, will NEVER give a nice review. way to ruin our first Cleveland experience. Will be giving this review to EVERYONE I KNOW.

Brian Cherry

I spend a lot of time downtown and I've never been to the barley house. The salad bar is stacked and awesome. The food is great and reasonable. I will be going back to try more.

CBear Gaming

Great bartenders and always a go to for Saturday nights

Amanda DeGain

One of my favorite spots in Cleveland. The hookah guy tho takes his sweet damn time. But bartenders are awesome same for security

Ryan Cash

Great food, great drinks, great service

Tonya Free

The food was on time and reasonably priced for delivery from a 3rd party vendor but they gave us one wrong item, there was mold on a piece of fruit that came with our undercooked cookie, and the vegetables we received with a dish weren't the same that were on the menu. The sandwich they sent in lieu of what I ordered was grisly and had hard bites to it when it should have been melt in your mouth tender (not bone but more of a fat or tendon like feel). Very disappointing. My order was placed Monday, Sept 2nd 2019 around 5 PM.

Hannah Eilers

Planned a conference event here for an idle Tuesday night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Pricing for a 110+ person event was very reasonable. The crowd on a Saturday night was VERY different from our group on a Tuesday, but it was a perfect fit for us. Thank you!

Marissa Jones

Not black friendly whatsoever. This past Friday (8/2), I was racially profiled and singled out because the color of my skin. My friend (who happens to be white) and I were separated from our group and saw the elevated section where we could possibly get a better vantage point to locate the rest of our friends. We were told by another patron that the section we stepped into was a VIP section, unbeknownst to us. Once the bouncer told us to leave the section, we apologized and proceeded to turn around. I was right behind my friend when the bouncers started pushing only me and yelling expletives. I was physically removed from the bar, even though I complied with them the whole time, while they manhandled me and were cursing at me. Once I was on the sidewalk, I saw my friends on the patio section, since they came out confused as to why I was being treated so poorly. I was told to not stand on the sidewalk and to stand in the street, alone. While I understand that many will point to alcohol as the culprit, I was not inebriated to the point to forget what happened and how I conducted myself. I was not rude, I did not argue. All I did was be black.

Russonkeys .

Barely House is a lot of fun. Deb and I stopped there tailgating prior to the 1st Browns game. All kinds of craziness going on. Lots of this at 8 AM. Place gets filled up early. Didn't eat there, did have a few beers. Liked the guy juggling flaming bottles of hooch!

Samy Rojas

Awesome place. Beautiful people and great service. I have to add this to my review...people are saying that Barley House discriminates, which is totally false. They have a wide variety of people allowed in their establishment, and do not discriminate. You will be required to be dressed to standards, and that means...not like we all are at a home cookout party... but dressed to be attending one of the TOP PARTY ESTABLISHMENTS IN CLEVELAND. The srevice has always been amazing, the staff is accommodating, and the the security staff protect the people who patronize their bar. If your looking for a wild, off the wall, crazy bar...this is not the place. If you want great drinks, great food, and an amazingly attentive bar staff... then this is your place.

Lion King

It's always a nice place to hang out with family and friends...

Kathy Caruso

Great atmosphere, good service,great music, upper class crowd on a Wednesday.. Bottle service was great exceptional!! Definitely going back.

Ziad El Ghoul

Not sure why would anyone choose the tip other than what the customer approved for! Never again

Chris Allen

To many people for an average place to drink. Best bet is to go somewhere else for faster service!

michael klein

Not bad but I hate salsa music.

Stephen Graham

4:00 pm on a Sunday when both the Indians & the Cavs have games. Not crowded, so great service, good drinks and nice atmosphere.

Vishnu Dev

Great atmosphere, friendly staff,though always busy on weekends but great vibe and awesome music.been here before and this place is must visit.

Christian Smith

Lovely, personable ladies. Great restaurant during the day, which turns into a club @ night. A CLE must!!!

Rita Camacho

Great service, fish tacos were delicious.

Blake Delta

Great Drink prices.

Damien Epstein

Great music, drinks, food, staff, and atmosphere!!!!

Jamie Malerba

Wish I could give this dumpster fire of a “bar” a zero. Terrible staff and bouncers are aggressive. Go anywhere else.

Timothy Jenkins

Best place in CLE to enjoy a night out!

M J

Can get super busy, lots of people go out with their friends on the weekends to dance and drink. Drinks served are basic and put in plastic cups, wish they had more of a selection and more class.

Joseph Zielinski

Crisp fresh beer on tap and good srrvice.

Matthew

Happy hour is extremely misleading. Once you receive your check, they suddenly tell you how certain drinks (that the menu specified DID apply) does not apply (contradicts written info). Very bad business practice and just waiting for legal issues. Good luck!

Alex Meckel

Great music. It's always a good time when we go to Barley House

Tim Matheson

Loved it! First before the last Brown's game. My apologies to the barmaid also! Will return in the future.

Xeon

iknow ur innocent but I always nice let me be in banks side for one time

Kelly Pirc-Hoffman

Fun bar inside and out, regardless of the temperature. It's a great place to pre-game or watch the Browns, the fans there make everything fun. They have a great outdoor patio with tvs and plenty of seating. Close to other bars and the stadium.

Kris Nelson

I came here to get some good beer and good service and I got neither. Everything I ordered was out and the bartenders had no clue what was going on. I finally got my Sam Adams (3rd choice and only got it after asking twice) and I will not be back. Very disappointing.

Jennifer Beard

Spicy Garlic wings are bomb

Beckham Sonnabend

Nice place to have food even if you're not drinking beer. Nice chill atmosphere.

Tomestis Vivian

Anybody that is black I do not recommend this establishment at ALL! Manager of the establishment was not professional when we asked for a legit reason why my brother was not allowed in after he respectful complied with removing his head cap. His words were “when you open your own establishment you can do whatever you want”.

Anthony Jacobsen

Passable bro bar. Staff was polite and helpful.

Jorge Beros

Food decent, service is great. Space is best up

Mike Barbaro

Had a great time getting bottle service for my birthday this past Saturday! The staff was awesome!

Morena Louise

This place is great, although a little pricey and the dance floor was so packed, you couldn't move.. it was still a great atmosphere and lots of fun!

David Silsby

Great service nice place to hang out. Sam is the best behind the bar! Keep it up Barley House!

Michael Martin

Absolutely the best salad bar lunch buffet in the city.

Kandi Lee

Service is always very poor the few times we have been here for lunch on Mondays. It takes a while to be seated, a while for drinks (just water), quite a while for your food, etc. In other words, it's best to not come here if you are if you are in a hurry or have to be somewhere, like back to work, within an hour and a half. There aren't many gluten free options except for their steak or a salad. I have ordered their steak a few times before and, although it is small, I've only had problems with it the one time it was undercooked. Yesterday's visit I decided to get there blackened grouper sandwich without the bread and veggies. It took over 20 minutes to get my meal. When it arrived, it was very black so I assumed it had been overcooked. As I began to eat it, I realized that it was very spiced witch I think was part of why it was so black on the outside. The fish itself was also very rubbery, which is what I'm not used to the few times but I've had grouper. I had concerns that it was undercooked and just couldn't stomach trying to eat it. I definitely feel based upon my review and a few others that they need a bit of an overhaul with their current staff and current menu. We will not return to this restaurant, and suggest that you think twice before trying it yourself.

Marcia Erickson

Excellent lunch option. I had the Nawlin's Shrimp Bowl and it was outstanding!

A Google User

Solid bar, the staff treats you well. I go there often with friends.

Avah Sherman

Any 1 star review is fake because of false accusations. This place is awesome.

Yolanda Ivory

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Good service. Food came out quickly.

Hannah Zak

I was allowed in, as my husband was, until he wasn’t. The bouncer was rude and stated that he wouldn’t let my husband in because his pants were sagging, which they were not. My friends, who bought bottle service, were begging the bouncer to allow my husband in and he still refused to do so, as he claimed my husband was rude. The police officer confirmed with me that my husband did nothing wrong as well. It’s easy to say that the bouncer ruined our night.

maxwell posival

This place was a lot of fun.

Leafs Hockey Highlights

First off id like to start of with the waiter was being rude to me the whole time I was there and I searched up the restaurant and in 2017 Bartley’s asulted a women and that ain’t right

Jeffry Myers

Delicious prizza, that pepperoni tasted like it was freshly sliced from an Italian meat shop. The beers were flowing like Niagara. Outdoor patio is super comfortable and will surely be back.

Phillip Miller

Great bar with outside seating. Food was a mixed bag. Had a fantastic quesadilla but the brunch omelette was not very good. Our server was friendly.

Molly Mcdonough

Beautiful Girls great food and drinks

John Kopcso

Good food and patio. Good service

Poppy Perry

Has good service but has a bad atmosphere with security is quite aggressive. Food isn't great either

James Haggerty

Love the Barley House and Town Hall. Always top of the list when I get to Cleveland. Same group owns both. Highly recommend them

Leigh H

Went during lunch, fish tacos were delicious and manager was nice enough to comp our bill because of delay in the kitchen.

Xavier Willis

Staff was expedient in delivery of drinks and watching the dance floor as naughty behavior ran out some patrons. Next time should be more distinctly comprehensible. 5/5 will return!

Collin Majhan

The place is absolutely horrible in terms of service and atmosphere. If you don't believe me, just look at the negative events and reviews from other dissatisfied customers.

Kyle Trusler

Much different than the barley house in Akron. It leans more towards a club. I had fun. Won't go there again. Reply to owner (who had a very surprisingly fast reply): It's just not my speed. I would recommend to go once for sure. The bottle service and DJs were really quite fun, but I'm more into video games.

Vanessa Sullivan

I had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. It has a nice feel to it.

Joseph Rance

Nice Place to drink and eat.
