  • Buckeye Beer Engine

    15315 Madison Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-226-2337

    The beer’s the thing at this hip-yet-homey Lakewood pub — more than two dozen choices on draft, including what owner Garin Wright calls “breakouts, hot stuff, and things you’ve never seen before in your life.” Still, the food is keeping up , with a satisfying assortment of burgers (including some meat-free variations) as well as salads, soups, and assorted noshes.

  • Chocolate Bar

    347 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-622-2626

    Imported from Buffalo, the Chocolate Bar is part nightclub, part restaurant. By day, the airy space bustles with lunchtime activity, with diners digging into affordable salads, sandwiches, and entrées. At night, ladies (and the men who love them) pair chocolate martinis with decadent desserts. While chocolate finds its way into all manner of menu items, it's wise to stick to those that come with whipped cream or alcohol.

At lunch, a tasty variety of freshly made sandwiches star, including the signature 2X BLT, featuring a double dose of double thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon from fine-meats purveyor Blue Ribbon.
  • Great Lakes Brewing Company

    2516 Market Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

Along with the food, a good beer and wine selection — including wines on tap — make this upscale casual pub a safe bet for mixed groups.

A heated patio extends outdoor dining well into fall.
