Ugly Broad Tavern

Being from out of town I called to ask if I could smoke a cigar and have a drink… laws are different in each city. The lady answers the phone, I politely asked if cigar smoking was allowed in bars in Cleveland. Not only was she VERY RUDE but she was a smart ass, saying «why did you call me? Go google it» and huge up. They’ll never get one penny from me. If the service is as bad as her attitude I’d stay away. I’d give 0 stars if Unilocal would let me.

Nothing less than five stars, Sandy the barmaid she rocks, love this place, so like home, plus owner bought me a drink, if you miss this, you truly miss out. I tour for a living so getting out to have fun is important. this place will be on my map of return joints, Sandy is the best ever, she’s cute too lol. shout out to her thanks your a rock star.

wow. I’m almost left speechless, but I have to spread the word.
came here on st patty’s day. read the reviews, and it sounded like one of those places that i love exploring. it’s like the trainwreck that you want to go see.
this place is all full of regulars. everyone was super friendly. they didn’t get the memo here about the ban on smoking indoors, so that was happening. their beer selection, well, that’s not what you go for. my friend had a bud light, that pretty much sounded like the best option. i had whiskey.
the owner of the bar bought me and my friend a round on the house. we went and said hi before we left. she’s so nice.
oh the rottweiller! she’s so adorable. she’s old and limps and is the sweetest saddest old puppy you’ll ever meet.
we had some fried foods. basically that’s the menu. it was great tho. fried broccoli, friend okra, fried mushrooms. i’m not sure actually what they fried for us, presumably a number of different vegetables. there were mushrooms, that’s the only one i’m sure of.
the guy and gal sitting next to us engaged us in friendly conversation, telling us about how they go there every day for years and what they do and the neighborhood.
all in all a good time. diviest of dives full of chain smoking regulars, fried foods, cheap beer, and friendly patrons from the neighborhood. our tab came out to something like 12 bucks. come here knowing what you’ll get and you won’t leave disappointed.

Wife and I went here on a Friday night based on Unilocal reviews. We weren’t disappointed. It was everything the other reviewers said it was. A dive bar, full of locals, a friendly barmaid, a good jukebox, a pool table, a friendly Rotty that we pet, cheap drinks, cigarette smoke (which was the only negative) and a super cool bar owner (Sherry). Right away the owner bought us a drink, welcomed us in and provided some funny conversations. Thanks for the good suggestion fellow Unilocalers!

The ugly broad is a relic. Old box tvs, John Wayne memorabilia, and the pungent smell of cigarettes. The bartender was friendly and seemed genuinely excited to have a non-​regular in the bar. No beers on tap, bottles only and a limited selection. This is a CASH only bar too so be forewarned. The dog was super sweet but I think has a flea problem as I think I was bitten a minimum of 3 times while drinking my beer. The neighborhood isn’t the greatest either so go with a friend and don’t walk to your car alone. Friendly locals who love to talk politics. The broad is unique.

Just like the Toby Keith song says,
I LOVE THIS BAR!’

I smell of stale cigarettes and a giant dog, and I couldn’t be happier. This place is as friendly as any bar I’ve ever wandered into. The booze is cheap and served with a smile. They have the world’s sweetest rottweiler as a regular. It’s places like this that make me love Cleveland.

This is a real Cleveland neighborhood bar. The owner is warm and friendly, and the bar dog is a big old sweet rotweiler who does tricks for treats.

This is a Cleveland bar. It’s got a pool table, a rottweiler, a country-​music blaring jukebox, and regulars who didn’t get the memo about the city-​wide smoking ban… and I absolutely love it.
The owner is a nice lady who sits at the bar and shoots the shit with you for a minute. The rottweiller, Shiloh, is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. If you stick a dollar in your back pocket, she’ll steal it and let you chase her around the pool table. [Shiloh’s dollars end up in a donation jar to help fight breast cancer.]
Cleveland bars are generally cheap, but this one is ultra-​cheap. Also it has inexpensive and amazing bar food. We always end up ordering mozzarella sticks in the «keep ‘em coming» kind of way.
Grab a game of pool or watch a game on one of the TVs… Play around on the jukebox [which has non-​country music too] and marvel at the John Wayne-​themed bar [no joke]…All the while not breaking the bank. [$ 1 Genny cans are the real deal here].
I’ve gone here with just boys, mixed groups, and just my group of girlfriends and have always been please in every situations. No weirdos talk to you. It’s just a bunch of locals trying to forget about the day and I’m happy to join them.
It’s such a great dive that even the Ugly Broad cartoon mascot [who is REALLY ugly] couldn’t keep me away. Five stars!
