Never Say Dive

The 38 Best Restaurants in Cleveland, Ohio | Eater

"The Old Brooklyn neighborhood continues to evolve from a sleepy bedroom community to a compelling destination for food and drinks. In early 2024, a group of industry vets opened Never Say Dive, a meticulously curated dive bar with stellar drinks and a delightfully over-the-top vibe. The tavern exterior belies the colorful interior, where neon pink flamingos and other campy art collide. To drink, there are $3 beers alongside draft cocktails, as well as house-made seltzers and creative mixed drinks. Dig into a Dive Dog, a Kobe-beef frank topped with caviar and potato chips, or a shockingly good bowl of udon in a savory bone marrow broth. Must-try dish: On Tuesdays, diners can savor a bucket of crispy fried chicken and a bottle of Spanish cava for just $40." - Douglas Trattner
