The Old Angle Tavern

My mom and I adore this place. We went back in July but I’m just now writing a review. I had the fish and chips which tasted really fresh and my mom had grilled cheese and the salad was fantastic. I also got some type of Jameson cocktail which was delicious.
I can’t wait to visit again.

This place is the WORST establishment in Ohio City. Don’t waste your time going here. Walked in on a Friday night with a group of 10 when they had about 10 total people in the bar itself before we walked in. Apparently the bartender has never seen a non-​Ohio ID before and wouldn’t serve my 31 year old brother because he thought his NY state ID was fake. All patrons there were rude and told us to go to another bar. Really explains why you had zero business on a Friday night. You pushed hundreds of dollars out the door because of stupidity.

Keep taking this down Unilocal and Ill keep writing a new one. This is how I feel about this place. Management can keep reporting reviews instead of actually FIXING the bartenders. Read Paul R review as well. I’m not the only one who knows the bartenders here act like its their friggin playground… go to Edisons late on certain nights and watch them in all their glory.
Place has really changed. Shepards pie is still good and they have the same macro Irish/​British beers you would find anywhere. Burger was done right last time but the fries taste like butt. When they first started they went for the local Irish, neighborhood feel. Ive seen Boys From Co Hell play here as well as other good Irish bands. Now its morphed into this w.25^th cheesey/​jock/​frat/​college/​preppy/​tweaker/​tourist place. Its new urbanites trying to re-​live their college days. Drive by on a sunday and peep all the people in Ohio State or Browns gear milling about sloppy and chain smoking outside. If 25^th had a sports bar, this would be it. Its like the Barley House Downtown but the bartenders are still up from the night before. Anyone in the biz will know them by name. Come on whiskey night and watch them keep up with the patrons 1-​for-​1. If your in their little clique they hook you up bigtime. If your not, your the only fool paying for drinks at a full bar. Cheers!

Shepherd’s pie is pretty awesome. And I love the décor. In Cleveland, on a soccer game day, this is THE place to be.

Great service! Good food! The staff really goes out of their way to take care of you here. It’s a favorite spot in cleveland :)

Update — As West 25^th grows trendier, so apparently does the Old Angle — and in my opinion that’s not for the better. The tartar sauce I raved about before has changed. The food portions seem to be smaller, and without surprise, pricier. The chili-​cheese fries are also gone. Overall, now, I really wouldn’t go out of my way to get to TOAT, and that’s saying something since I live only a couple blocks away and with walking could bypass parking problems in Ohio City. But meh, there are similar places to go, and so I shall, and leave TOAT to the crowds on W. 25^th that seem willing to pay just to be in the happening spot, and overlook authenticity.

Great irish bar. Going there for years. Bartenders are awesome. Good and friendly local crowd. Good irish pub fare. I am not a huge soccer fan but know that it is the place to go and it gets packed early. Nice place to watch other games too– lots of tv’s and decent seating. Good staple of the trendy and sometimes obnoxious west 25 bar scene.

Best football (soccer) pub in Cleveland! Arsenal fans not welcome, great people and food.

Both the quality and the price are five stars. I had the D’angle corned beef sandwich with fries on the side. Mere words fall far short in trying to describe this wonderful dish. The lovely Avril took wonderful care of me and my sister. Can’t wait to come back.

My boyfriend and I were new to Cleveland, so we decided to try out this bar. We were only in there for 2 minutes because the bartender swiped our West Virginia ID’s and claimed we had fake ID’s. We told him that wasn’t right because we were both 23 years old, and our West Virginia ID’s don’t swipe, they scan, like a barcode. He told us that his machine was, «state of the art» and that we needed to leave. I guess most people would stand their ground and argue, but we didn’t bother. We are 24 now and never returning.

The farm to table meals on the list of specials tonight were awesome. The homemade chicken potpie was worth the 27^th review update of this place. My man ordered the slow cooked pork over whipped mashed potatoes – both meals came with fresh baguettes. Keep doing what you’re doing guys!

Cool little place. Kinda loud. Does have a little bit of Chi’town feel… just a little. The menu is tiny! Wing, fries, couple of sandwiches and 1 or two «specialty» items. Shouldn’t go here looking for a lot of variety. Service was really good. One guy covering the bar and mid afternoon Friday crowd. He never missed a beat and was a nice guy. Bbq pork sandwich and fries (gut buster) worked out nicely. Tender and great smoky flavor… big chunks of pork.
Don’t look for their menu online anywhere. It doesn’t exist. Oh, and no sliders. FYI.

This is one of Ohio City’s great little places. Great fish n chips. Service could be a tad better but man they have good food!
Im impressed.

Plenty of TVs and a great place to watch sports if that’s your thing. Food is delicious! Had the chicken pot pie and it was mouth watering! Good beer selection, and good crowd. Not douchy like the other bars on w25th on the weekends.

Go here, drink here, eat here.
Having this as a consistent go to bar on W25th is awesome. Quality of food, is nothing short of excellent. Drinks are reasonably priced and poured with great care. And the staff, especially Matt, is great.
Premier league soccer is always on the tele, and the crowd can get very excited about their teams, fun times, even if you’re not a soccer fan.
That being said this place is a gem.
Do yourself a favor and add it to your list of CLE spots to try. You’ll be happy as a derby’d Englishman.

People were very friendly, prompt and efficient. Visible TVs, nice atmosphere, and overall good time.
Bathrooms smelled really bad. Minus one star for cleanliness.

I don’t think I’ve been at a place that was more rude.
We had a rather large party and were standing by the door because we couldn’t find anyone to seat us. Meanwhile, I don’t think a table there seats more than 4. After about a few minutes of not seeing an employee, we sat down and moved two tables together. The bearded fellow who eventually acknowledged our existence made snide remarks about our having moved a couple of tables together (there was only one other group of 8 sitting at tables that had been moved together). We left before ordering and moved the tables to their original position. We weren’t welcome for whatever reason and I will not be going back.

How did I end up at the Old Angle Tavern? Its where my sandwich from Bogtrotters was delivered. And I’m glad it was because the Old Angle Tavern was a really neat experience. I loved the old décor. It reminded me of those old neighborhood bars that were on every street corner in Chicago back in the 70’s. I had a great time hanging out with the locals, cheering on the Indians.
If you’re looking for a fabulous, local bar that has a retro feel and friendly vibe, The Old Angle Tavern is the place to go. Its a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy a cold one. Its like going back to a simpler time when your biggest worry was where your next draft beer was coming from. Personally, I miss those days.

I have been to The Old Angle a lot… and in the beginning, I was not a fan at all. The service was mediocre at best and I did not seem impressed with the service.
After they worked out those issues, things definitely did change. Good food, better service, great beer, great décor and ambiance and soccer. I highly recommend checking it out if you are a fan of good grub, soccer and great beers.

I am loving The Old Angle! The man & I have been here several times in the past, but usually on Saturday mornings at the cusp of being too early for a drink. Always the same bartender, Matt, is there and & he’s super nice, helpful. Great bloody Mary’s here, and great beer.
This is a European pub to be sure. Football (SOCCER) is always on the telly. Old Speckled Hen and Bass is on tap and well of course, Guinness!
A few weeks ago we were starving, post run, and post shopping at the West Side Market and decided to order some food. OMG! The Potato Leek Soup was outta sight. (Yep, I said «outta sight»). The man ordered the D’Angle which is their version of a Reuben and Holy Corned Beef! That was the best corned beef I’ve EVER, EVER had!!! The fries are great too. I ordered the Grilled Cheese which had tomato & bacon on it. YUM! YUM!!! I had the Guinness Battered Onion Rings and those were excellent too, especially with the Guinness mustard.
They have some great vegetarian options, and of course the traditional «Bangers & Mash» to go w/​the theme of the bar.
I suggest you head your hiney over & go get some great food & booze!
