My favorite local spot to have a cheap drink, snack and shoot some pool. The owners are some of the nicest people around and they really care about their bar. Its nice to see people take so much pride in their business. Dont leave without trying the empanadas.

Hipsters: stay away. As a hipster in training, having just moved to Cleveland, I want to claim this as my dive. Place is great—super cheap drinks and friendly service. Looking forward to returning.

Visiting Cleveland last winter, stumbled upon B & G . What luck! So much fun playing pool and reasonable prices. The owner shared some of the history of his business near the of the night. A friendly truly authentic neighborhood tavern, worth the trip .

Every time we go to the B and G we feel like family. The food is unbelievable, atmosphere relaxed, and drinks affordable. We love the B and G so much we came here after our wedding, for the after party and always try to take friends from out of town. There’s something special about this place, it feels like the true heart of Cleveland. My favorite bar in the city.

Best spot in Cleveland, hands down. My friends and I were in town to visit Ray's Bike Park and we stayed in Ohio City. B and G Tavern became our "go to" for every night after riding. Relaxed place with good choices in music and plenty of pool tables! The owners are amazing and super friendly! They get into the party spirit all while maintaining professional control over their establishment. Cheap drinks, good vibes, and the best citrus pepper wings I've ever had! Can't wait to visit again in February of 2024!

Great vibes all around simply put. Cheap drinks not water down at all. Food is amazing but I want that sauce recipe for empanadas lol.. very diverse culture. Pool tables.. Very chill atmosphere. I wouldn't spend time typing this if it wasn't worth it but that's my own personal opinion. See it for yourself and experience a sweet spot in the City.
