Old 86 — Restaurant in Cleveland

I genuinely love this place more than my own children. I sometimes stop in after a long day of business to reminisce about my days of a misguided youth from the 90s. A vibe so nostalgic that it reminds me of 1998 when I distinctly recall speeding into the high school parking lot in a faded yellow Oldsmobile delta 88 after a basement smoke sesh where we were blaring Korn “got the life” to get pumped up for a long day of horsin’ around - epic. At first I thought the owner was Bam Margera but someone quickly corrected me that they simply look similar although not the same person but still a cool dude and I’d still like his autograph. The one bartender I met is a great guy and great at his job. Occasionally I’ll sneak in half of a submarine sandwich and eat it directly out of my pocket as to not bring attention to my misdeeds. This place offers cool music , good peeps, neat red lights, and dogs - what more could you ever want out...

The overall ambiance of the Old 86 Bar was inviting and comfortable. What truly stood out to me was the owner's warm and welcoming nature. They exuded a genuine passion for their establishment and were more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure their customers felt at home. In particular, I was impressed by their accommodation of a friend's service dog. Not only did they allow the dog to enter the premises, but they also treated both the dog and its owner with utmost respect and kindness. It's refreshing to see such inclusivity and compassion in a bar setting.

As someone who appreciates good music, welcoming environments, and considerate owners, I can confidently say that the Old 86 Bar exceeded my expectations. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy great music, and have a memorable night out. I highly recommend checking out this establishment if you're...

First of all, I think it's absolutely ridiculous that so many cool people are present in this bar at any given time. How am I - a moderately known person about town - going to impress ANYONE in this establishment? Even with the great lighting doing my face incredible favors, I can't even grab the attention of a single stranger. How do you, as a business, expect me to build my Instagram followers this way?? Either stop letting the cool people in 5 minutes after opening, or you will only see me drinking your ice-cold beers multiple times a week moving forward. Thank you for your attention to this...
