Great cocktails - Edit
Good food and great cocktails. Really nice to be able to enjoy craft cocktails without having to research on barnivore. Seasonal menus are fun and make it worth a visit every time I am in Cleveland!

Wonderful is just the start - Edit
My partner and I visited on a perfect summer evening to chill on the patio. It is a beautiful space surrounded by plants and very nice for sipping and eating.
Read moreStreet parking is easy in the area.
The staff is kind, thoughtful and friendly.
We ordered 3 tapas and 2 cocktails. Each dish coming as they were ready made for a great flow. The menu does a great job describing things so it was hard to pick. The flavors and combinations were divine, I'm going to have to try to recreate home! I would like to pick this chef's brain.
While we ordered alcohol in our drinks they had many sports free options.
We were told the menu will change, which is wonderful but I'm sad I won't be here to try the new things. Well done!!
Pros: Flavor for days, Unique , Great vibe

Dark and Delicious - Edit
Cloak and Dagger is a vegan gastro pub. The atmosphere is quite eclectic - it is dark with candles and music playing in the background. The menu is 100% vegan and changes throughout the year. Most of the menu items are small plates. We ordered several different ones to share among our group. Each dish was very different and unique, with lots of flavor. We liked the bagel and lox (the lox was made from a carrot!). The mushroom stroganoff was also a favorite. Definitely worth going!!

A Cleveland Must - Edit
One of my favorite vegan restaurants in the entire US. Everything from the decor to the food and the NA drinks is SO delicious. I love that they change the menu often and it is heavily themed. The menus are ornately decorated and you get to keep them. The food is creative and at a fine dining level. It is highly recommended to have reservations. I fly here for my birthday every year and it has always been worth it. #Veganuary
Read morePros: Exceptional and creative menu, Fine dining bar environment , Dark academia/goth bar with merchandise
Cons: Reservations highly recommended , Expensive but worth it, Low light environment requires eye adjustment

Amazing, imaginative food! - Edit
A great surprise! I thought the food was on par with some of the top-end vegan restaurants in NYC. It was imaginative, well-prepared, and delicious. Not what I expected from bar food!
Read moreWe had the sunflower risotto, tofu schnitzel, Korean noodle soup, and beet carpaccio. All were fantastic, though the risotto was definitely the most unique.
The "small plate" portions were way bigger than we expected. Thankfully we came hungry.
Definitely make a reservation. We didn't have one, but we got lucky and got a spot on the couch.
Oh, yeah. The drinks are also really fun and unique.
Pros: Amazing food, Amazing drinks, Cool vibe
Cons: Busy. Make a reservation!

Great drinks , good food . - Edit
I gave it a 3 great drinks , I mean wow . Food was top notch ., I would’ve scored higher, but for some reason the service is extremely lacking. My table was very small and the place was very loud,.  And they act like it’s some kind of bougie place. , it’s not .

Fun atmosphere, good drinks, good food - Edit
This bar is so unique - I love the theme and the decoration. It is dark and intimate inside, and the drinks are so fun and unique. The food was pretty good, though I would go here for the drinks alone! Only downside is that it's so busy and you definitely need a reservation

Ridiculously Good - Edit
The tamales are insane. So good. Fries w/fennel aioli is solid, as is the ceviche. The take on chicken and waffles (“Fu@k brunch”) is good too. You will find top notch culinary fare as well as thoughtful and truly unique, flavor-forward cocktails. We LOVE this place.

What an experience! - Edit
Fantastic, creative cocktails! Many featured ingredients I’d never heard of , but it was refreshing to not have to worry about looking any of them up to see if they were vegan friendly. Our favorite of the drinks we tried was the Aimless Arrow . While the cocktails were the highlight of the show, the food was excellent too! We had a butter board (imagine—a vegan butter board!), a vegan chicken sandwich, and the boozy hotcakes. The only odd thing was the “bacon,” which seemed to be fried dough. Highly recommend! Will definitely go back the next time we’re in town.

My favorite bar anywhere! - Edit
Completely vegan and AMAZING!!
Read moreSimply put, I would come here for the cocktails alone. I would also come here just for the vegan food. The two together, plus the atmosphere are an amazing combination!
We live out of state, but we come to Cleveland largely for this bar, (coming twice in a weekend).

Love the ambiance - Edit
The vegan bar food was amazing and the portions were just right. The cocktails were creative. When we went, they had cocktail options named after Zodiac signs! I also loved the dark academia ambiance and found it very calming. The staff was really friendly and would gladly give you recommendations. Be prepared to park on the street because parking spaces are hard to find. Other than that, I only have positive things to say about this restaurant. I can’t wait to come back!

Can’t wait to return - Edit
Great food, good ambience, really cozy. It’s a shame it’s so small- I’d love to be able to sit for hours. It’s too tiny for that though. Staff was lovely and even ok with last minute additions to our group. Very thankful and will return/recommend.

Horrible experience - Edit
When I first walked in it was great got a seat at the bar… ordered 3drinks and a salad then the hostess approached me and told me my spot was reserved in 30min… so I politely went back up to here and asked why seat me if you had a reservation which their website stated they do not do small party reservations and there was only 1seat next to me available… to which she went around to the bar staff and they immediately cashed me out and told me house rules and I explained that that made no sense and they continued to tell me they would follow my house rules when visiting my home…I informed them that is no way to run a business and they informed me if I had booked a spot then I would have 2hours to do with ad I please… for a seat at the bar occupied by one person with one seat only available to my right this is no way how to treat your customers…I will not subject myself to their ridiculous acts ever again and have spread the word to multiple people on multiple platforms to never set foot in their establishment ever again… I’m know for matching my tab and for the first time in a long time I did not do that with this establishment…I will never be back and I don’t care if they were to grovel at my feet it’s not worth the inhuman treatment of their patrons
Read morePros: Messenger is delicious
Cons: Horrid treatment of customers, No regard for their customers, 0 care if you planned to stay a while and order

Love this place! - Edit
The food and cocktails are great! We tried the vegan cheese board, seitan skewers, and veggies. Loved it all. Menu is seasonal. Will definitely come again to try other items. Unsure why this place is marked vegetarian. They are 100% vegan.
Read moreUpdate: had the chance to come back and this just might be my favorite restaurant. Every menu is amazing.

In the top 10 of vegan places I've been in the world. - Edit
Actually vegan not vegetarian. Atmosphere, people , drinks, food and staff were all amazing. We had 4 dishes and couldn't decide what we liked best. Same as the 4 amazing drinks we had. They welcome you the second you get there and offered us a delicious whiskey punch shot. If I lived closer I'd be here weekly . Because they are super good you'll need a reservation. So book well in advance if you can .
Read morePros: It's actually 100% vegan , not vegetarian., Best food, drinks and staff, Atmosphere is great
Cons: It's so good you need to book a reservation
