Porco Lounge & Tiki Room

Porco has great drinks but I came for the food and it did not disappoint! We ordered everything on the menu that wasn’t vegetarian/vegan lol. We ordered the Pinoy Party Platter and safe to say, it was worth the price and I’m really picky with Filipino food. The flavors of the tacos were great. The bistek was made from ribeye and cooked to perfection. The sliders were so juicy and the sauces were just amazing. Great for a date night or a night out with friends.

We had an amazing time, we are originally from ky and my husband loves tiki anything and everything, we were so excited to have found proco!!! The staff is absolutely wonderful! We couldn't have asked for s better time. First time in Cleveland best place to go. The food was chefs kiss ❤️💋 We did accidently get charged an extra drink that we didnt have but honestly no big deal. Mistakes happen we had a wonderful time will come again

The food! Omg! Every tiny bit of meat seasoned to perfection. Perfect portion sizes! Perfectly paired with whatever you’re drinking. I took a gamble on this place and won the lottery! Service was great but my poor girl needed help! She seemed like she was the only one servicing the entire dining room! Drinks were true to menu description and strong but tasty. Order one of everything on the food menu.

I gave food 5 stars 🌟 but I didn't try any, although I heard food here is hit or miss. By that I mean, sometimes they serve food, sometimes they don't. I don't know. But on this night, there was food. I don't remember the name of my drink. I just asked her to make me something that wasn't too strong. It was good. Everyone seemed to enjoy whatever they ordered. The vibe was good. It really gives tiki decor and lighting. The service was phenomenal. I enjoyed it and would definitely go again! Entering the parking lot was weird for me, but that's because I didn't know where I was going. There is additional parking in the back. I was unaware of that at 1st.

Drinks are amazing my favorite is the zombie. Reservations aren’t required but are recommended for anything late in the night, as this place does get very crowded. We stopped in around 6 pm and immediately got seats at the bar. Bartender with the tattoos, and glasses was really nice and sociable. Will return as soon as I can!

10/10 on theme at Porco Lounge & Tiki Room! One of the best themed restaurants I've seen. The drinks were elaborate and were served in the cutest, handmade glasses. I loved how over the top everything was.

If you're in the area of Cleveland, Ohio, you should stop at Porco's Lounge and Tiki Room. It has been elected to receive the Bartender Spirit Awards on several occasions. A mixologists approach is taken in the preparation of cocktails, as fresh juices and syrups are prepared in-house daily. Cocktails are well balanced and flavorful as a result. The menu changes periodically, so there will always be something delicious to try. There are bite-sized food options offered to provide soakage, and they're tasty. The decor helps to transport you to a tropical paradise. Definitely stop by, grab a stool, and enjoy good drinks and amazing people! Cheers, and I'll see you soon!

*Updated Review, second visit! Porco is one of those places that takes it's food and drink flavors seriously in an unserious and charasmatic environment. We tried the cheddar fries and wings first. The wings are an important part of this review so keep reading. We also had the shrimp tacos, Cheeseburger Sliders, and Steak Tacos. All of these have things on them anywhere else I probably wouldn't eat, but they have a magical way of pairing things that make even the pickiest eater overcome their personal tastes and be very glad they did. Masterful is a word that suits their food best. Now for the wings. I have had wings all over the Cleveland area, it's something I try everywhere. They have 4 wings for $10. The wings they brought me looked like Baby Chicken wings and I say this with no exaggeration. Because everything was so good I didn't say anything because as usual the flavors of the crispy wings and amazing sauce made up for it. As I was eating my beef taco the chef came out and said, I am very sorry, the wings you received are not what we normally offer, he then showed me a photo comparison of what I received and what you would normally get and the size was literally double. He said a mistake had been made. I said I thought they were pretty small but didn't want to make a big deal of it. He then asked if he could please make me another batch. He soon came out with 4 more wings and his two favorite sauces, sauces by description I wouldn't like, but again after having them they convinced my taste buds otherwise. The fact that he came out and personally made it right even though I hadn't even mentioned it or complained about it goes to show the pride they take in their food. That gesture was impressive and earned them a customer for life. You don't find that kind of character in people these days and it made the experience there that much more special. Thank you Chef.

Held a small party for my daughters 2st birthday. Nice party space / nok near the door. We had about 14 guests. Everyone really enjoyed their drinks. Great flavors and textures. Highly recommend for an evening escape from all your worries. Reservations not required bit helpful, place fills up fast.

Waited YEARS to come here. Sooo disappointed The servers were great!! The ambiance is fantastic!! The drinks - weird after taste and we didn't like any of them. They even took one back and made something different We didn't finish our drinks and left. The place is so cute, the drinks just aren't our thing. One and done for us 2 for drinks 4 for service 5 for ambiance

Really fun tiki bar with great drinks and fun bites! I've been twice now and each time the cocktails and food didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend for a group!

This place is super cool. It has the perfect tiki vibe. The service great and everyone is super friendly. The drinks are delicious and if you get the "shipwrecked" they you will feel it! The food is very good too. We had the Pinoy Party Platter to have a taste of almost everything and can't complain. We had a great time and definitely will be back!

I had a fantastic time on a quiet Wednesday night here thanks to the gorgeous atmosphere, delicious drinks, and amazing staff. I think I picked a good time to pop in, because getting to chat with the folks behind the bar was a treat. They were super friendly and fun to talk to but also really knowledgeable about their drinks and about tiki in general. For the drinks, I went with the Saturn to check out their falernum and orgeat, and it was really good -- not overly sweet and really showed off the ingredients. Their Pink Flamingo, my second drink, was a great elevation of a colada. And the environment! It's so great. Moody and colorful, just the way a tiki bar should be. I think I'd be a regular if I lived in the city.

Porco is one of my new favorite places in Ohio Coty. It has a great tiki bar ambience, but it's also so much more than that. The liquor selection--bourbon, tequila, rum, and just about anything else you could want--is phenomenal. And they have delicious mixed drinks too. Although a little bit pricey and small, I also really enjoyed my chorizo sliders. Finally, the owner and the bartenders are extremely personable, I had great conversations with them and cannot wait to come back. Overall, Porco is one of my favorite places to go in Ohio Cory for a night out. If you're looking to go to a bar, I highly recommend Porto

SO FUN EVERY TIME! Get the drinks w dry ice and it'll be a show! One of the big group drinks comes with a gong and it's just fantastic! Terrific service as well with very patient explanations

Fantastic Tiki Bar! Killer ambiance, great patio area! Amazing whiskey & Bourbon selection too. Very impressive

Porco was a lot of fun. They have a huge menu of tiki drinks, separated by octane level. The descriptions are super vague - citrus, passion, etc, so you either need to guess, or be chatty with the bar staff. I recommend the latter - the bartender was really friendly and he knows his stuff. I had a couple of drinks, all with a citrus vibe. The fogcutter involves dry ice in some way - it came out foggy and crackling! My favorite was the Holo Holo, which even came with a flower garnish that you can bet I was wearing by the time we left. They have a pretty decent snack menu. The tofu got good reviews, we put away at least 4 orders of fries between us, and I really enjoyed the shrimp tempura tacos, with puffy flour wraps and big crunchy shrimps. It was just warm enough to sit out by the fire pits for a bit, and I will certainly be back for that this summer!

I stopped in here while visiting from out of state, and I was not disappointed. The bar is nicely decorated in the usual tiki fashion, and the drinks and food were fantastic. The entire bar staff was friendly and attentive, and indulged me while I talked with them about nerdy tiki things like recipe books and how they make their orgeat. Porco's was the highlight of my Cleveland trip. I just wish they had their own mugs, I like to buy one from every tiki bar I visit. I made do with a Mai Tai glass instead.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! My liver however, dead. It is the best place ever! We always go there with our besties and it's so fun

The decor is fun, you definitely will forget you're in Cleveland for a bit. There is a huge selection of tiki drinks to choose from, and although the descriptions are somewhat vague, whatever you choose is bound to be delicious. The bar staff is helpful and fun to talk to, so if you can't decide, they'll surely point you in the right direction. I ordered my favorite, the painkiller, and had it upgraded with Pussers rum. I also ordered the "planet of the apes". Both were strong, tasty, and served in fun glasses with fun garnishes. The bartender noticed I was interested in their impressive swizzle stick collection that was encased in the bar top and loaded me up with a bunch of their own swizzle sticks to start my own collection! Service was great, drinks were amazing, and the experience was fun. I'd definitely come back.

Just got back from MAI KAI a well known Polynesian/Tiki bar/restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale that just reopened after a many million dollar renovation. Porko, you have ruined me for tiki drinks from anywhere else.

Excellent drinks, fabulous vibes. Went there for our anniversary and it's always a special time.

I recently visited Porco while visiting Cleveland. I had read about the incredible tiki bar and it did not disappoint. I rolled in about happy hour time on Friday. I was fortunate to find a single seat at the bar. The bartender took great care of me throughout my visit. I had a few cocktails, a rum flight, and some food. Everything was top notch. I probably spent too much time here, but I really enjoyed every minute of it. The drinks, food and service were outstanding. This spot is on the top of my list to return next time I am in Cleveland.

Love the ambiance. The service was A+. Drinks were great. Food was alright. I ordered the chicken adobo bowl and the rice was hard. The adobo chicken was alright ...: just alright.

The drinks are legitimate. A great mix of quality and pageantry. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and welcoming of an out-of-towner. The food is very tasty. Overall, a fantastic experience in the Cleveland area. If you're staying near the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it's definitely an Uber ride away but well worth it.

Cocktails! The vibe The waiters The owner Everything about this place is amazing! The cocktails are eclectic and original! The burger sliders.....for the win! Have to have something to go with a good zombie

Porco is my FAVORITE hidden gem in Cleveland. It has the best ambiance making you feel like you're sipping on drinks on a tropical island. The patio and inside are decorated so beautifully you can't help but snap pictures. The menu is packed delicious and STRONG drinks. My go-to is the painkiller. The servers are really helpful in giving drink recommendations, too. Would definitely recommend coming here for a date night or evening with friends!

Hands down the best cocktail bar in Cleveland. My husband and I have been meaning to try Porco for some time now, and we're so thrilled to have visited on a Saturday. The ambience was dimly lit and had an appropriate noise level. I would say definitely on par with the vibes of the place. The bathroom on the main level could've used a little bit more of a cleaning but it wasn't nasty; I did not use the downstairs bathroom so I cannot comment on that. We were seated in an intimate booth/hut, therefore we didn't need to pay attention to anything or anyone other than each other and our server. It was decorated with paintings, sculptures and great lighting to set the mood for the evening. Andy, our server, was extremely knowledgeable and elevated our experience. He is well versed in the menu and gave us the necessary details to make fantastic cocktail selections. The drinks were strong and well balanced; it wasn't over served, nor did it feel like it was overpowering. There are three levels to the menu that cater to how strong the cocktail will be. We ordered Shining Wizard from level 2 and Improved Hurricane level 3 to start, then we ended off the evening sharing a Scorpion Bowl. BOY OH BOY... did that bowl get us good!!!! It is meant to serve 2-4 people but for the $ it was a deal for us two; we felt GOOOOOOD after receiving the bowl. It was absolutely delicious, potent and extremely well balanced with the various flavours.. Their in house juices really bring the cocktails to life since it's not too sweet and you can taste each flavour profile. The small eats menu is phenomenal as it incorporates Filipino/Islander flavours, something I'm very well versed in. We only ordered the lumpia shanghai, equivalent to spring rolls, and it tastes just like the OG rolls I've had in the Philippines. I have no doubt that the food choices on the menu are a hit! We recommend making a reservation since it was busy the entire night. We were seated within a minute of entering and checked on by Andy a good and generous amount the entire stay. Thank you Porco, 5/5 and we'll be back again!!!

Love this place! Get the painkiller! My colleagues love the patio in the warmer months. Inside, it looks like a fairytale at night. **They recently started serving food** it's a small menu of mostly appetizer type dishes but that will likely change.

Great place for a special occasion drink! The cocktails are top notch, hence the steep prices. Totally worth it! Awesome tropical environment, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders, and really cool vintage tiki glasses on display. I've been here multiple times but this week I brought my daughter for her birthday and she loved it! Tips: This is not a handicap accessibility friendly layout; please be aware. It's a tight squeeze to get to the tables and bar and the restrooms are in the basement. Fabulous place for a date night! And you may want to make reservations to ensure you can get in, as it's not very big.

Impromptu date night. Porco Tiki Bar on 25th Street in Ohio City. It started as "do you want to go out for a drink?". It ended with a couple of weird Tiki drinks and some Lumpia( egg rolls ) & Chicken tacos. Food ( bar snacks) are cooked on a little grill and fryer until until they run out. Tapas style. The stars here are the drinks. My wife's drink was a "Planet Of The Apes" - Banana and Pineapple, as handed down by the Lawgiver. and mine was a "Fog Cutter" - So foggy it smokes, orange with a back bone of almond. ( they wouldn't tell us what was in each - super secret ). Mine came out Smokey and not very strong which was good for me. Wife's drink was knee buckling strong. Great times. Great atmosphere. Yep....Cool place with a cool vibe. Reservations recommended.

Fantastic oasis of Tiki escapism. Excellent selection of Rums, the cocktails are expertly crafted, the staff is knowledgable and super friendly. A great vibe, one of the best true Tiki Bats I've been able to enjoy. My pics just don't do enough justice.

Yummy drinks: check yummy food: check Fun atmosphere: check I went here for my birthday with a few friends and had an absolute blast! We made an online reservation which I think was a good choice for a Friday evening! They have a taco place now inside with the most AMAZING birria tacos. We got three giant delicious drinks to share and our waitress was amazing. Cant wait to go back!

I finalllly made it to Porco Lounge and it was totally worth the wait. Such a fun bar with an all out tiki theme! I was surprised to see that the bar was so small but the entire bar is decked out in tiki decor from floor to ceiling. The staff was super awesome and were really accommodating and let us move tables when we asked. The tiki drinks were Instagram-worthy, delicious, and served in awesome tiki mugs! We didn't try food because online it said that they weren't doing food so we ate beforehand but when we arrived they were serving tacos. We'll be back again soon for More drinks and tacos. Next time though I'll make a reservation further in advance and request booth seating for sure!

Super great ambiance in this legitimately decorated tiki bar. Plenty of alcoves really make use of extensive surface area to seat a lot people but not make it seem too cluttered. Their cocktails are pre-mixed so cannot be made to order. However, a friendly bartender did make me a less sugar added version of a cocktail not on the current menu which was much appreciated. They had pop up Cilanto Taqueria available for dinner.

I glued my hand to the table. This was not the fault of the restaurant. Great service and great drinks. Wonderful decorations and atmosphere. The owner is a wonderful human. Just wish I didn't glue my hand to the table.

Tiki bar in Cleveland, great vibes and ambiance and tasty drinks. They have a range of drinks and they'll recommend based on how much booze and flavor you are looking for. They of course have all the classic tiki drinks plus some with a twist on them. I believe they also had some small snack items for food, but we had already had dinner before we came. They do reservations so if you have a larger party, you might want to call ahead. There's some outdoor patio seating as well. Server was very friendly and gave us time to peruse the menu and offered recommendations.

There was no venue in Cleveland I missed more than Porco during the pandemic. Not only are the drinks world class, the bartenders are real experts. Not just Cleveland but nationally. If you know cocktails a little bit, you can riff with them and they'll custom create something for you. I was amazed at how our bartender listened to us describe what we wanted and then pair a specific rum to make a unique daiquiri. Unique environment, excellent cocktails and great people. Real Cleveland gem.

Went there with a group of friends. We had to share some of the drinks they were HUGE and STRONG, and delicious. The server was friendly and fast. It wasn't too crowded. I would go there again.

No idea how they make drinks that are this strong and taste this good. Love the atmosphere and theme. Excellent service but drinks and food were slow to come out (probably due to it being a busy Saturday night). They also limit table reservations to 90 minutes which is challenging when you're waiting almost 20 minutes for drinks to come out. Limited food menu and not huge portions but worth the trip just for the drinks! Tucked away from the other bars on W. 25th, so challenging to jump between this place and other local spots.

The ambience is unbeatable, and the service is unparalleled!!! a group of six of us were able to walk in on a Friday 5 PM when we're seated right away. I would definitely recommend reservations if you wanted a table at a later time on a Friday or weekend. The drinks are so delicious! The only reason why I cannot give it five stars is because it is very pricey, and I get that prices have gone up in recent years due to inflation and supply, but $18 for a drink is quite high.

What a great Tiki lounge! The drinks were delicious and the servers were excellent at steering us into the right cocktails for our desired taste profiles! They definitely need to improve their seats it the room they sat us in! Most uncomfortable seats I've sat in since college!

I met up with a group of friends one Saturday and we had a great time at Porco! Although we didn't have a reservation ahead of time, I recommend making one in advance to get a table. Fortunately, bar and outside seating was first come first serve, and ultimately our group was able to find a couple free tables outside to put together. I tried both the Painkiller, which had a nice, smooth, rich balance of rum & coconut, and then the Saturn, which was tart and fruity -- with a hint of passionfruit as my friend noted! I also appreciated that neither drink was too sweet. They were strong but not overwhelming, but trust me they will kick in! I also tried a sip of my friend's Jet Pilot, which was significantly stronger and packed a punch, and still pretty tasty. My experience with the staff was excellent given how busy it was on a Saturday night. The hostess, waiters/waitresses, and bartenders were all friendly and attentive. Transporting patrons into a carefree, tropical tiki lounge vibe, Porco is a great spot to hang with friends for a night out. Note that, as with most places in Tremont, parking is tight/limited, so Uber/Lyft or a DD is the way to go.

What a great place to visit! Our group had a blast. Great vibe too! Amazing atmosphere with prime service!

Really disappointed that I brought my friend here because I've never paid this much for a drink... not at a luxury restaurant, and not at a club in NYC! For context: I ordered one basic whisky on the rocks and I was charged $18. My partner ordered one Mai Tai and she was charged $19. The price was so shockingly high that I asked our survey if there was a mistake because I wondered if they may have accidentally entered the order incorrectly because the price was so shockingly high and this took place at 5:15pm, which is happy hour at most bars. We were told this was not a mistake. This place is cute but it is not worth the visit since this is clearly price gauging.

Wow! Ever had the desire to get a good drink, with a knowledgeable staff, in a Polynesian setting? well don't go any further. this place is great. has a really cool laid back atmosphere. I will say that the drinks aren't your typical bar drinks, so they're on the pricey side. however, THEY. PACK. A. PUNCH! I mean, Mike Tyson style. straight to the jaw. but then, rubs your face in love and affection. They're that good. Food selection is eh, but it's not called "Porcos food" is it? Go here on a date. Go here for your "buddy in town want to get down" vibe. An awesome Cleveland location, worth its weight/wait. You'll understand when you go.

Hole in the wall. Authentic food and REALLY good cocktails. It is like the Polynesian but Cleveland style.

My wife had been wanting to come here for a long time, and after visiting a tiki bar while out of town, we made a point to visit the one in your own backyard. They do a spectacular job with the atmosphere, as some friends we went with from out of town even commented that it didn't feel like we were in Cleveland anymore. All the cocktails are boozy, but the menu was split into boozier, less boozy, and somewhere in the middle. The unfortunate thing, as with many tiki bats, is they are not very specific about what is mixed in the drinks,, which makes it tough if you want/like a specific type of liquor. On our first trip I started with a mai tai, to test out the traditional island cocktail and was impressed. I also had the fog cutter, which must have had some dry ice to keep the fog coming. It was very good but I was hoping for more of a smoked drink. They do have food but it seems fairly inconsistent on what they have and how much there is. Very good cocktail bar in Cleveland. Definitely a place that we will visit more frequently.

This place exceeded my expectations. They had table side service which is always a plus for me. Who wants to really stand at the bar trying to get a drink. My first drink was a pink flamingo and it was sweet with a touch of creaminess. This ranks as one of the best cocktails I've had in a very long time. My second, planet of the apes, was decent but I don't need to order that one again. Drinks are strong and not watered down like some places and it makes you feel like your $15 drink was worth it. My husband raved about the zombie. Service was quick and they came by often. My only complaint is they should extend the hours because I was not ready to leave at midnight (they just reopened post Covid). I had a great time here and can't wait to return.

Great service! Beautiful cocktails! Great food! The drinks sometimes look prettier than they taste. But for the most part- it's our latest hangout.

Very cool drink menu. Expensive but very worth it. Love the dark bar feel but its also very tropical and lively at the dame time. Go and you'll forget you're even in cleveland. Our drinks were delicious

If you're looking for delicious cocktails or just a unique bar with amazing vibes, Porco's is the place for you! If you've never been to a tiki bar before, you're definitely in for a treat. All the drinks I've tried from their menu are delicious, fruity but boozy, and presented beautifully. I've never personally ordered any food here but have been curious so perhaps on a future visit! The place can get busy at peak times (ie, weekend nights), which is not ideal during the winter time since you may end up having to wait outside if there's not enough capacity indoors. That said, they also have a standing room right by the entrance where my friends and I have been able to order drinks from when tables weren't available. The servers here are all attentive and will do their best to offer you recommendations if you're overwhelmed by their huge menu. Overall, visiting Porco's is an entire experience in itself. I try to take my friends who are visiting here and highly recommend coming to check this place out if you haven't been yet!

This spot is HOT! Our friend we were visiting said it was fairly new. The place was hopping and everyone was trying to get a drink after work!their menu of drinks are amazing! We took the servers recommendations and weren't disappointed in any of them. The vibe inside is very Hawaiian tiki bar and chill. Of course, after our few drinks we had, we needed some food. They had a Taco person taking orders. We tried their different tacos. They were good. Drinks were phenomenal, as was the service. Great place to hang for a few drinks and chilling with friends. I do suggest possibly making a reservation. We arrived right when they opened and didn't need one.

It was weirdly empty but we were told because of reservations we had to be out within an hour. Just came to see the new tiki bar and try drinks. They were typical tiki bar drinks over priced and nothing exciting

This tiki bar looked amazing, and had a great vibe. People must know it, because it was absolutely packed on Good Friday at 5:45, despite the fact that it stands alone on a otherwise-nondescript street. It has parking, which is a treat! We didn't make a reservation, but were able to be seated in the front room, away from the bar, which also completely filled up. The reservation system asks for a credit card, which was more of a commitment than we wanted to make a week out. It must work, though: when we decided to go for sure 48 hours before, there were no times left. The drinks were delicious and definitely boozy. My one note is that I wish the menu actually listed the ingredients, instead of just the vibe of the drink.

This place is amazing and a hidden gem! I've honestly haven't ate any food there but their drinks are delicious! They have several kinds of mixed drinks to choose from and they have descriptions for every drink so it helps when making a decision. It's been many years since I've been here and of course like every restaurant I've been to, the menu eventually changes. This used to be the place that had the strongest drinks in the city! They had a drink called the "Bob's concussion" which was so delicious yet so strong! My friends and I would always share the beverage because the amount of liquor they poured in there. They no longer have this beverage but I'm starting to think it was because too many people got highly intoxicated from that beverage. In my opinion, this place still serves delicious drinks, it's just not as strong as they all used to be.

I'm a sucker for tiki bars, but this place does a great job! Most drinks are $15, but they're all tasty. I don't think you'll find anywhere else like this in Cleveland. The bartenders are knowledgeable and nice, decor and barware are classic, and I love taking people here!
