I could almost put this under the sightseeing category because it is in an old bank building that was renovated in 2015 and it is absolutely stunning. Even if you don't buy anything it is fun to walk around this historic space. Have a glass of wine or beer under the giant rotunda. Good food options for lunch as well (try the global grill or $5 sushi on Wednesdays).

If you're Downtown looking for breakfast, just go here. Trust me--the eggy bread (over-sized french toast) is to die for.

This is a good place to go for dinner but I'd suggest going for happy hour (5-7 Mon-Fri). $5 dollar cocktails and $5 dollar apps are some of the best Downtown for the price!

Drinks & Nightlife
Local watering hole for Downtown and Cleveland State University. That being said it is certainly not a typical college bar. Becky's is where the locals go and is very laid back.

E 4th is full of the city's trendiest restaurants (including Michael Simon's famous Lola's). For bars, I'd recommend Wonder Bar for a more relaxed vibe and better priced drinks. Zocalo is good too for margaritas but the food is honestly not my favorite.

Bin 216 mostly serves the theater crowd and they have a great assortment of wine. It's a little pricier but is good if dressed up and going out with a larger group. Bin also has a good happy hour.

If you're looking for a night out on the town, come down to W 6th for loud music and dancing. I'd recommend Spirits, Velvet Dog (check out their roof top), and Rumor.
