Mantua and Cleveland are both places that have significant meanings in our lives, so we're excited to have them both play important roles on our big day. We also appreciate you making the 45 minute trek between the two locations!
When you get to Cleveland, here are some fun things to check out before the reception:
While their claim of "Best Burgers in the World" might be a bit of false advertisement, this local dive bar is our go-to stop before any sporting event downtown.
Did someone say $1 beers?!?! Well, that's only "Dad" beers on Thursday nights, but still, our favorite Thursday evening activity. A great spot to drop in for some pre-reception drinks, with a view of one of Cleveland's drawbridges.
You can never go wrong with tacos and margs, BUT the reason why this place is special to us, is it was the location of our first date!
If you have not had the Albino Stout....you are truly missing out on life! THE best beer we've ever had! Also, this was stop #2 on our first date.
We know nothing about this museum, we're sure it's cool, but honestly no need to go in. Just do a walk or drive-by to pay homage to the empty store front next door. Those hallowed grounds are the site of the final stop on our first date....the old Taco Bell Cantina. The actual best place in Downtown Cleveland to get tacos....RIP.
If you're staying in the Hilton, or even if you're not, you'll want to check out the views from the top floor bar! Gorgeous views of the lake and city! You can even see our apartment if you look a few blocks over towards the west. Also, the Women's Restroom is 10/10...highly recommend.
Needing to kill some time, for free? This is the perfect stop for you! We've spent days exploring and there is still so much to see. This is not like a normal library....this is a cool library. The architecture alone is breathtaking! If you have time, definitely check out the observation area near the top of the Louis Stokes Wing for some great views of downtown. One of Cleveland's best kept secrets.
