Had the BEST time this weekend for a little Parent’s Weekend away in Cleveland! I am from the Columbus area and had took a girls trip there in the fall, but my husband had never been!
So much fun to be able to sleep in, eat and do whatever we wanted! Thank you to you all who gave us recommendations on where to eat and what to check out! Next time we will definitely be catching a baseball game! Hoping to be able to check out more spots next time too!
Wanted to roundup in one place where we went and relay the other popular spots you all suggested for those looking to visit again as well!
Hotel: This is my second time at the Hilton Downtown Cleveland, from service to location– I cannot recommend this place enough! The hotel lobby bar (Eliot’s), and restaurant The Burnham both were great– a great local feel too. We took in the sunset up at Bar 32 and WOW! If you stay, don’t miss! They really do have a LOT of local pride and it shows!
Restaurants:
TownHall (Ohio City): We went here for brunch, thought it was OK– I grabbed a Tumeric Shot, and a bloody mary which were tasty but not crazy good. The place is busy, so I know the locals like it, but I think that the beset thing they have going is the ambience. The spot is beautiful and its a great place to catch a game and a drink .
Urban Farmer (Westin Hotel Downtown): This place was more my speed- Bloody Mary/Mimosa Bar and a brunch buffet. Great spins on classic breakfast items, and they emphasize the use of locally sourced ingredients.
Nuevo (Downtown Near Rock Hall): Great food, even better drinks. I LOVE fresh margarita mix, not bottled sour mix and this was SO GOOD. (Cue the “I had too many” regrets).. On the water with a cute patio– second visit there and it was consistent to the first.
Other Locations:
The Marble Room- Great ambience and food for a dressy Happy Hour or Date Night.
The Flats– It was suggested that we couldn’t go wrong anywhere in The Flats fun bars a food. Sadly we couldn’t make it.
Flap Jacks- Brunch!
Momocho: Suggested for awesome Mexican
Little Italy: Suggested for Yummy Food and fun atmosphere
Siteseeing: We only had great weather on the first evening so we were able to walk down to Nuevo to eat which is right next to the water and the Rock Hall. Great little stroll but it really kept us from having desire to leave the hotel with it raining so much. We did manage to check out the West Side Market in Ohio City, which was great and full of history.
The Great Lakes Science Center, I think primarily attractions for kids. But my husband really wanted to get on the William H. Mather Steamship– so we paid to do a self guided tour. This was a fun piece of history to see!
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: We did check that out, since its so close to the hotel and also my hubs is a HUGE music fan. Got to see what we wanted, they have a great little summer concert series– would have been fun to stay for had it not been raining.
