Eat and Drink
The Land of Nosh, Nom, Nibble
Hope you brought your appetite — and your stretchy pants — because Cleveland’s food scene is going to put both to the test.
Start your day with a rib-sticking breakfast at brunch places galore. That’ll give you the energy to get through some sightseeing throughout The Land.
Grabbing lunch is a matter of what you’re feeling that day — might be a classic corned beef sandwich, Mexican street tacos or maybe even Cleveland’s legendary Polish Boy sandwich.
Some of Cleveland’s best restaurants can be found in and around Downtown, featuring new-school twists on old-school dishes from established chefs like Michael Symon and Dante Boccuzzi, to unique dishes and interesting cuisines from up-and-coming chefs making a name for themselves.
Top it all off with a sweet CLE treat like fresh, locally made ice cream, a crispy chewy Hong Kong street waffle or beer-infused donuts.
Hold up. Did someone say beer? Lest we forget our ridiculously robust bar and brewery scene. Access our Cleveland Brewery Passport for a tour of 40 local craft breweries throughout The Land. Or, hit up an array of cocktail bars in speakeasy and tiki settings alike.
Bottom line: come to Cleveland hungry.
2026 Cleveland Brewery Passport
It makes sense, given our long history of manufacturing might and vibrant culture of artisanal creativity, that we would become one of the nation’s leaders in craft beer production.
That’s why we’ve brought together many of our finest breweries to create the Cleveland Brewery Passport: a unified way for you to explore everything this city has to offer without going thirsty.
Above all else, please remember to drink responsibly and use a designated driver.
