When it comes to food and drink, there are no secrets in the Cleve. That explains the well-heeled crowd of “early adapters” who were sucking up the elegant vibe – along with beer, wine, and expertly made cocktails – at Stone Mad on Saturday night.
Pete Leneghan’s long-awaited pub, patio, dining room, and indoor bocce court (1306 W. 65th St.) opened quietly on April 14, but the lack of public announcements hasn’t slowed the buzz – a fact that co-owner Eileen Sammon finds “heartwarming.” …

I have had a chance to go to the Stone Mad and all I have to say is “I love it!” This place is great, great food(the burgers are to die for) great enviroment and best of all the poor a great Guiness. I’d be there every night if I could. I recommened it to everyone.
If you want to drive to an area that is out of the way to drink high priced drinks and eat overpriced average food, Stone Mad is your place. Not to mention how rude the management is to customers. A tall man with a Mario Brother’s mustache runs the place and is about as rude an individual as they could have found. My advice is save your gas and money go someplace that appreciates serving customers.
Barry is way off base here. I have been going to Stone Mad every weekend since it opened, and that “tall man with a Mario Brother’s mustache” is owner Pete Leneghan, and he is always friendly and courteous to the patrons. You are probably the one of the guys in there a few weekends ago who was being drunk and obnoxious and asked to leave. If you knew how to conduct yourself, you would have received the same friendly, excellent treatment everyone else does. Don’t hate. Stone Mad is the best Irish pub in Cleveland, hands down, and the food is top notch. I have never had a juicier, fresher strip steak than this place serves.
