ABC the Tavern — Restaurant in Cleveland

My friend and I Stopped by hoping for a few drinks and food this afternoon. I was hoping to get a five-star interaction as the rest of the reviews and pictures had shown. However it was one of the worst service industry experiences I've ever had. Upon entering we were greeted with less than enthusiasm from one of the bartenders. His attitude and way he interacted made me feel uncomfortable and not welcome. He threw the coasters in front of us, was rude when ordering our drinks and was talking under his breath. I'm not sure what his problem was but did not want to stay considering how he was treating us at the beginning of the interaction. We left and went somewhere else.

bartender chris is the reason we go here. we eat out at a bar 4-5x/week and, hands down, chris is the best bartender in cleveland. if i owned a restaurant/bar, i would be recruiting him with a lot of money. he is incredibly professional, 1st & foremost, kind, compassionate. he knows exactly when to follow up. i’ve experienced him having to deal w some difficult customers, and he always does it with grace and professionalism. 6’5”, charming, charismatic, handsome, professional, hard working, model material. then we have the other 2 bartenders that we’ve experienced, that are the complete opposite. the one this evening knows us as regulars, doesn’t acknowledge our presence, chris did all the work, and yet, the great tip that we leave for chris must be split with the other one. if you get to work with chris, you’re lucky. best service easily over summer house, luca, all these...

ABC Tavern is awesome, Im a huge fan and often end up there for a late night snack. Their fries are, in my opinion, perfect. Exactly what you want in a fry. Their food i reasonably priced and well portioned. I always leave satisfied. The specials are interesting and usually very good too.

The service is always good, the bartenders are great, attentive, and take care of you. I have literally never asked for a refill on a water, they fill it multiple times before its empty. Which is one of my criteria for how good service is.

The vibes are also great. They play good music. Love the dollar bill wall behind the bar lol. And the types of people who go to town hall generally arent here, which is a big feature. I highly...
