Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in The Flats

I recently visited Agave & Rye, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was outstanding—creative, unique, and packed with bold flavors. Each dish felt thoughtfully crafted and offered something different from the usual fare. The atmosphere was lively, though quite loud, but that’s to be expected when you’re dining during a Cleveland Browns home game. The energy added to the experience rather than detracting from it. Service was a bit slow, but given the influx of people, it was understandable. The staff remained friendly and professional despite the busy environment. If you’re looking for a spot with fantastic, unique food and don’t mind a bustling atmosphere, Agave & Rye is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back!

Amazing brunch on Sunday before the game. Our food was delicious, our server, Ashton, provided really positive energy throughout our encounter. Ashton was an awesome resource for meal suggestions. It was our first time at Lago, but I cannot wait for my second ❤️💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Awesome experience at Hi5! Food & drinks were great. Got an espresso martini, brisket egg rolls, Cobb salad, and the Crunchwrap. Everything was delicious and our service was great :) Will be back!

This is the model for a great seafood restaurant… came here serendipitously two years ago not expecting anything.. was shocked a restaurant this good could be so far from an ocean. Returned today… hoping it was still great. It is. The staff greeted us warmly as if we were well-liked regulars. The atmosphere softly lit, with every table full, yet without feeling over-crowded. The menu just right… all the favorites.. with nice touches and specials… all fresh. Dessert offerings were solid… and maybe that best describes this restaurant… a solid 9 out of 10. It would hold its own in Manhattan, Miami Beach , Boston or LA.

We went on a slow Monday midafternoon to celebrate our engagement! The Ikura was amazing, and the portion of crab Poke was generous and very delicious. The house salad came out lightning fast too! I would Highly recommend this place to any couple as a fun weeknight date or a special occasion. The photos don't do the ambiance justice. Can't wait to see what this place looks like in the evening!
