Cedars West End — Local services in Youngstown

Get there early, pay the $8.00 cover, sit at the very first table, patronize both the bar and the kitchen (had thete been any table service, we would have ordered three or four times as many tacos...) and the pics below are what you get to see. Obviously, the clear view of the stahe was earlier in the evening (although since the shows never start before 10 p.m., there's never really any "earlier in the evening.. ) and the other pic is during the second half of the band's second set (and is representative of the evening right up to the last song.)

The back patio is comfortable and has a good sense of different spaces that provide some degree of privacy. There's generally always parking. The beer is not expensive. They have a variety of special events, most look very good based on their...

Incredible bar. Great for a night out in lounge style location. It was relaxed with no nonsense. Don't let the location fool you. This is far from a dive. The artwork and lighting are immaculate for a casual date night or see one of the many live music and improv shows. The owner has stories to keep the conversation lively and the showmanship to keep the eyes...
