The Treehouse

My boyfriend and I love this place! Good bar food good service good beer, you really can’t ask for more. We can always find a seat either at the bar at a table or in the back at one of the booths. The patio looks nice I’m excited for the weather to warm up again to get out there. I subtract one star just because of one particular experience where a guest was drunk and out of hand interacting with us while we were trying to eat our meals. This place is great though, super affordable, really good, check it out.

I was at Treehouse late Saturday night, after 1am. It was late and I was getting tired. I just wanted one more beer, something cheap. I don’t need to drink $ 6 craft beers every single time. But hey, I don’t need to justify myself to you. Apparently I did to the bartender though. I asked him to get me something cheap and he literally laughed at me. Well I don’t think it’s funny. Like laughing at me that I’m such a poor schmuck that I can’t afford another craft beer. Maybe I can, maybe I can’t. That doesn’t matter. I don’t go to bars to be judged. I don’t derive my self-​worth from how expensive the beers I drink are.
And I especially don’t appreciate being laughed at by a bar tender for my drink choice. So unprofessional. The owners of Treehouse should be ashamed of themselves for hiring staff of this caliber, or complete lack thereof. I am beyond livid. I’ve never been treated with such blatant disrespect from a person in the service industry.

I’m not particularly offended, but I’m definitely not impressed. I’d say a solid 2.5 stars.
The setting is kind of a mix of quaint meets nice meets tacky. I really don’t want to be rude, but the artwork on the walls they had was just really unappealing. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it really clashed with the rest of the décor. Everything seemed to have a layer of filth over it, our booth and table were sticky and there was crud all within the cracks of the wood. Even our menus were covered with spilled sauce. Turned me off a lot to the place.
The food was mediocre. Nothing to complain about, nothing to write home about. We got the grilled chicken tenders which were okay, the Tremonster (which I stole a bite of — it was okay), and I had the Cobb salad. The salad was pretty good, the guac was delicious and the black pepper dressing was equally good.
The have a decent sized beer list, but none of them are anything special, or anything I would go out of my way to have outside of being there.
Our server was friendly and polite. He (or the kitchen) did get my order wrong but he was very quick in correcting it!
I’ll definitely never go out of my way to come back. I won’t put up a fight if I were invited here as part of a group outing, but I’d suggest another place before accepting the invite.

If there were negative stars, I would select. Upon closing time, was forcefully pushed through narrow gap in fence to exit bar. Initially after trying to obtain an alcoholic beverage. I was brutally forced out of the bar by an employee who claimed he «did not lift» when clearly lifting is something he does often. Name of bar was clearly misleading as upon entrance it was obvious to me the tree was not real; observed roots, none were to be found (no leaves either). I am not religious but the only option I had was to sit on church stoops directly across from the bar. Even the people who walk by this place are dicks. Would not recommend this bar to my worst enemy.

They have a new chef and the menu has a nice variety of options. Weekend brunch is always delicious and fresh. The bartenders are very friendly. They have some new patio furniture, padded couches and chairs, that make the place feel very homey. Treehouse !!

We went to the Treehouse for dinner on a Sunday night. The food was good quality and the beer selection was extensive. Nothing super fancy but made with fresh ingredients and tasted good for a very reasonable price. Despite a small menu there is something on it for everyone (burgers, flatbreads, tacos) and the night my husband and I were there we also saw several families with younger kids. We weren’t in a rush so we had no problem with the service (our waitress was working her tail off but had a ton of tables and was the only server for the whole front area of the restaurant which speaks to poor management– I can see how this would lead to the frustration in some of the other reviews).

I went to the Treehouse on a first date, & then again a month later (with the same guy!) to watch game three of the Eastern Conference Finals. It had a totally different vibe each time: the first, it was quiet & relatively uncrowded; the second, it was packed & loud & full of happy Clevelanders. Both times were good enough to keep me coming back, & I have since put it atop my list of Casual Places To Go Out In Tremont.
The service is pretty good here, & the servers really hustle. Even when it takes them a bit to get to you, it’s hard to be too mad at them because it’s clear that they’re busting their butts to get everyone taken care of. The food is standard bar fare — soft pretzels! loaded tots! — but it’ll keep you full & in need of Tums. They serve pretty decent beer, but you can also get PBR in a can, so there’s something for everybody — standard Cleveland.
I dig the atmosphere in here — lots of wood, lots of light, but it somehow feels very cozy. There’s a large seating area in the back that seems to be more restaurant than bar on slow nights, giving you a few options in terms of vibe. Basically, it feels like a dive bar that’s not dirty or embarrassing. A good neighborhood spot.
I like the Treehouse a lot. What more can I say?

$ 5 happy hour pork sliders weren’t too shabby. Was $ 1.50 PBR night on Tues as well. Had a glass of red wine too for $ 5

Attractive and clean bar and the burgers were good. I thought the bartender was rude and I have worked in the restaurant business for most of my life, so I definitely don’t need anyone to chat me up or go «out of their way» for me.
I think she thought she was being cool and tried one attempt to make my boyfriend feel cheap for ordering well vodka. The drinks were made promptly and the burgers were served quickly with condiments. No silverware to cut the burger and the salt shaker was completely empty.
The server then asked us if we minded closing out our tab because she was going to be leaving. Normally I would have not minded at all if she was even remotely polite. We did cash out and left her a 15% tip because that is just how we are and just decided that if we ever see her behind the bar again we will go somewhere else.

Fun bar with a great patio and look. The beer and drink selection is big enough to meet almost everyone’s needs. It can gets busy with plenty of nice people to look and talk to .
The service is either excellent or horrible, depending on the hangover level of the bartenders. The food menu is limited and the execution of the food has been uneatable since fall of 2014.
I have been going here for years, before tremont became hip, and I hope they turn around the kitchen and some of the staff.

Beware of brunch. The service was extremely slow, with no apologies for how long the food took to come out. Server actually appeared annoyed at us for asking when our food would be ready. The french toast, bacon hashbrowns and an omelete took over 30 minutes to come out. Food was sub par, and the bacon was cold — and not cheap!
The Treehouse may be a great place to go for drinks, but we will never go back for brunch.

Drinks at Treehouse are always fine, since it’s usually just beer that I get there. However, I had their food last night and I won’t be going there for food again, that’s for sure. The salad I had was bland and ordinary, could have made it at home. The buffalo chicken wrap my boyfriend had was greasy and wet, almost soggy.
Treehouse has so much potential but if you’re on Professor, skip this joint for food and go down to Crust for some pizza instead.

Great place to hang out with friends! Tons of beers on tap and cozy vibe. Patio is awesome in summer, but fireplace inside and tree behind the bar make the inside a great spot too! One of my favorite tremont spots!

3.5 bc the service was pretty poor :(
Super cute/​cozy place and pretty yummy food as well!
I came in here with some gfs for dinner on a thursday night and it was a fairly light crowd-​so you would assume the service would be good. It wasn’t. We sat and sat and sat before an uninterested server came to «greet» us.
Anywho, the food was pretty good– meat lovers pizza, pretzel crusted mahi sandwich and a salad. I’ll def come back bc the atmosphere was great and so were the drinks.

I got two strong, well made gin and tonics here for $ 6 each, pleased with that. I liked the wood theme, thought that was cool. The bartender, some bearded fella, was pretty snarky/​rude to my buddies and myself. My one buddy had type II diabetes and the guy wouldnt say whether or not certain beers were cider based, etc. Just over all being a dick with a bad attitude and acting like everything was a big hassle. Im willing to give this place another shot but if a theme starts to develop here will definitely take my business elsewhere.

I rented out the private bar upstairs for a private party. I never knew they had the bar upstairs, and it was perfect for my party. The décor was perfect, and they allowed me to add my personal touch. They offered a full bar with food packages per head. Drinks were all cash. Which was fine. We got our own bartender and she was amazing. She took great care of us, making great drinks and getting us food. Treehouse was more than accommodating to my party. I have always liked the treehouse, but now I love it there. Truly one of my favorite places in the city, and my top recommendation for private bars. I will continue going back!

Usually really enjoy food and service at treehouse. Tonight a few minutes after sitting down an 8 top abruptly abandoned their table. Fifteen minutes later not a single server had so much as greeted us.
We walked out too.

Ordered the hummus plate to start (Tuesdays the hummus is $ 5), and I must say it was pretty good. I’m very picky about hummus and I found myself scrapping the bowl. For dinner, I ordered the black bean burger and it definitely hit the spot. Can’t say the same for the tarot tots– they taste exactly like the frozen-​from-​the-​bag kind I had as a kid. Nothing special.
Lastly, our service was some of the worst service I’ve ever had. Our server couldn’t had a worse personality. It seemed as if we were bothering her and she didn’t want to be there. It’s a shame that she brought down my first experience there.

On the Sunday of the Super Bowl (which I was unaware was some type of national holiday) my friend and I headed to Tremont on a snowy afternoon in the hopes of trying something new for lunch.
We avoided the Treehouse, as I had been there before. But, after over an hour of wandering through Tremont, we realized it was literally the only place serving food. Some places were closed because it was Sunday, some only served alcohol, others were closed because of the Super Bowl (Barrio even had a sign announcing they weren’t open so they could enjoy football).
We walk into the Treehouse and see that everyone is sitting at the bar with alcohol; no food! Assuming the worst, we ask the bartender whether their kitchen is open. Miraculously, it is! Thank goodness.
After mulling over the menu for a while (for a menu that’s only front and back, there were lots of options and almost everything sounded good!) we both ordered pizza. I got the salad pizza without onions or peppers (it still had mushroom, black olives, tomatoes, artichoke, cheese) and she got a pepperoni pizza and the cheesy bacon tater tots.
The food took a while to come out but, as we were the only people eating and were finally inside after walking around in the cold, we didn’t mind.
The food was surprisingly delicious. When we ordered pizza, we didn’t have high expectations. My friend got hers on flatbread and I got mine on traditional crust, and they were great! I loved the «unusual» toppings, like artichokes. I still have 3 pieces leftover today and will be eating it for lunch; yum! The tater tots were run of the mill, but the cheese and bacon made them especially yummy (read: terrible for you, which is basically the same thing, right?)
The atmosphere was interesting. There was a group of friends in their 30s doing jello shots with an older married couple. There was a group of people in their 20s playing a game with the bartender where you have to put your phone on your head and make the player guess what it says. The bartender was doing shots with everyone else and, thus, didn’t offer the fastest service… but she was friendly. It seemed like everyone knew each other but, as it was a small crowd, maybe that’s par for the course. We didn’t drink but, looking at their selection, they would have definitely had something I wanted if I had.
Overall, we were super grateful that the Treehouse would serve us, and it was a pleasant experience. It’s good to know that there’s a reliable fallback in Tremont, should we ever decide to head this way again (which will probably not be on a Sunday, by the way). I’d probably give it a 3.5.

I reserved the upstairs party room for my boyfriends going away party earlier this year. Since it’s one of his favorite bars Cleveland, I had to check this place out. Now the only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five, is the price. It was $ 100 to reserve the room for four hours and my guests had to spend over $ 400 on top of that unless I wanted to pay hourly after my time was up. It seemed extremely steep in my opinion but we ended up spending well over that, so it all worked out ok.
The bar manager was incredibly accommodating. We were quite a rowdy crowd but he was a good sport the whole time. The room had its own bar and a plenty of tables made out of barrels. Super cute if you like a trendy hipster vibe, which I do. We had the option to add a buffet of certain foods for an extra fee but we had dinner before going out. Over all it was a great place for out party and I would definitely have another there!
