Sportsman's Tavern — Restaurant in Berea

Have stopped in here 2-3 times. Always a weird feeling in the place. If you are not one of the "regulars" you really stand out. Myself and a friend were sitting at the bar talking when we were told it was last call at 12:30am. We thought it to be a little early, but we were unfamiliar with the place and didn't know the hours of operation. We noticed a lot of the other patrons sitting and staring at us. (Probably 12-15 other customers) We were going to finish up our drinks and leave when we were told they were closing and we had to go. This coming 2-3 minutes after being told it was last call. As we were leaving we noticed none of the other patrons doing the same. When we got outside we decided to sit in our car for awhile to see what happened. No-one else exited the bar for the next 25 minutes. I guess the "regulars" don't like when strangers stop by for a drink. If we had been causing a problem I could understand the reason for an early exit. We had been there for maybe an hour, only had 2 drinks apiece and had not been troublesome at all. Definitely not a place I will ever visit again. Which is sad because it is so...

Not only is this place dingy and run down, the male bar tender with a ponytail is rude as ever. Tried to go in there for the FREE pool night that they offer, When we got in dude was on his phone didn't say anything to us til we got to the table. Once there he gives us attitude because my boyfriend and I didn't want drinks. Keep in mind we are both 20. Couldn't drink anyways. We are trying to start playing when he walks over and says "it seems like you are taking advantage of our free pool"...well yeah. You have free pool on a Sunday night with nothing saying it's only free when you buy a drink. Unless he's fired or learns some manners I will never be coming back. Highly disappointed....

We have been here in the past and service was great....but we will never go back. Never dealt with a barmaid that did not want to put food in a fryer cuz she claimed too busy with 13 customers but then continue to play on her phone and chat with her friends at the end of the bar. And it was only 8:00 at night. Business must be doing really well to send customers to other establishments. We only wanted wings and fries and would have stayed until closing. I am a bartender and tip and pay well. I would never tell a customer "oh u want me to cook to? I am too busy." You need a new bartender that actually cares and wants to retain customers. Visited on Friday night...
