I hosted a bridal shower for my future daughter in law at the Flat Iron Cafe in their banquet room. The room was a nice size with a bar area and clean restrooms. The owners were flexible and responsive to work with when arranging the details for food selection, setup plans and general questions. The food was delicious! If you are planning an event soon you should consider having it here. Wonderful experience!
Staying in the area for work, and had a couple locals tell me to “go to the flat iron and order lake perch”. Finally made it in for lunch, ordered the perch sandwich and onion rings. This is said to be local Lake Erie perch and a “must have” while in the area. They did not lack in the portion size, the sandwich was stacked with fish, which was fried perfectly, and delicious! The onion rings were enormous and crispy and maybe even stole the show from the perch. Washed it all down with a local beer, and out the door for around $20. Great lunch, great historic location, and great staff! I’d return again, next time later in the evening to enjoy a few more beers and the live music advertised.
Very friendly staff and cold beer on tap! Excellent stop before a game! Got to put our sticker there. #therollinghills2022! Thanks Again!
The Oldest Irish Pub in Cleveland!
Pierogies and cold beer hit the spot on a warm day. Super nice bartender. They were also running a free shuttle to/from Cavs basketball games.
I had my husbands surprise birthday party in the banquet room. This was by far the best venue I have been to. Booking and planning was super smooth and easy. All of the food was phenomenal, but the shepherds pie is the best I’ve ever had. The service was outstanding. 10/10 would recommend. We will be frequenting the restaurant more often than we already do, and for sure booking future events here. Thank you for helping make his birthday even more memorable.
When you ask the question “where should we eat, I don’t want to be disappointed again?” Flat Iron is always the answer. Friendly staff, good food and everything you want from an Irish bar!
Come for the food, stay for the people! Friendly, helpful staff and great food. Every visit is a pleasure. They make you feel right at home. And a great place before a Browns or Indians game. Take the shuttle up and save on parking!
My boyfriend and I had a BLAST! The main reason coming in was my endless craving for lake perch, and I PERSONALLY believe THIS PLACE FRIES THE BEST PERCH! Yup, I said it. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was amazing, and the root beer float for dessert was just as good. It's definitely not a "white tablecloth" place, hence the occasional patrons singing along to the music playing in the background. Come in and hoist a few and grab a platter of fish while you're there. It's definitely worth the 3 hour drive.
Ok, first things first.. this is one of the most renowned 'haunted' bars in Cleveland, so I'd give it a 10 for Atmosphere if I could! We had my husband's birthday here in the party room and had an excellent experience all around. This place is perfect for a large group, you get your own room and bartender upstairs.
On our most recent visit we sat downstairs and chatted about ghosts with our server. The wings were so good we placed a second order. And the icing on the cake?? I think a ghost switched one of my pennies out for a dime. Like, not kidding, you can ask our server, except I can't remember her name. Either way, given it's history and unique location, the Flat Iron is a long standing favorite for good reason. The food is perfect for cooler weather too, who doesn't love a hearty Shepard pie on a chilly December day?
One of my new favorite places to go! The wings were awesome and great beer and cider selections, along with full bar.
Only negative I experienced were bathrooms that needed bleach and renovations...
Will definitely be back though.
