Spirits

Awful. The employees and cook are awesome but owners are the worst. They sit there and watch over the employees which is awkward for customers. While I was there an «owner» (maybe?) yelled at an employee in front in me which probably should’ve happened behind closed doors. The owners are arrogant and don’t know how to run an establishment in America obviously. The food is bad which makes me sad because the cook was really nice and came to check on my food to see how I liked it and I said it was good just because he was so nice. My advice is that the employees should find work elsewhere because they are too good to work for people like that.

Not very impressed with Spirits.
I came here last night with a friend and the service was quick and the beers were good. It wasn’t very crowded at 10:30p on a Friday night, but maybe we were just early. The lights are pretty cool & the music was good but it just felt weird sitting in a room with a buncha laser lights going crazy around you.
We saw there was an upstairs so we went up to check it out and someone came and yelled at us saying we can’t be up here because it’s closed… ok then block of the stairwell… Sucks too because the upstairs looked really awesome.
I heard good things about their food so I’ll probably be back for a happy hour & to give this place another shot.

I don’t think my rating is really legit because I think it is a night club and I went here during «happy hour» time… lots of daylight outside lol. There was a few people there, maybe 95% empty. Bartender/​server was okay… I was acknowledged lol. Got a cider and some poutine fries (not good), meh.
I should try this place at night, maybe my review would be totally different.

Our favorite bar in Cleveland! Very clean, fun environment, amazing and friendly bartenders. Wish we had a bar like this in Seattle. Hope this new bar will be around the next time we visit town.

Great new bar in downtown. I was in town for the night and use Unilocal to find the next hole in the wall. Unilocal led me to a dive bar that was closed, so we stopped at Spirits because we were parched from our walk. Stephanie welcomed us to this wonderful new establishment with a smile and a little bit of feral cat. Just down my alley and the Reuben sandwich was way up there in my top ten list of sandwiches.

We made three separate visits to Spirits during our 48-​hour visit to Cleveland from Seattle! Plenty of choices to drink, a disco ball the size of a baby elephant, and a cute jukebox photobooth were some of our favorite features of the bar. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!

Spirits is still in their soft opening stage. My friend and I decided to check it out last night around 9pm. It was a slow night because of the poor weather. The place looks really nice and fits in well on W. 6^th. I must say that being a black female, it’s kinda iffy when you walk into a downtown establishment. You never know how you’re going to be received at some places. The first thing I noticed about Spirits was the music. Hip hop/R&B/Top 40. A great selection. So we sit at the bar and the friendliest bartender comes over and greet us. I believe her name was Stephanie. She was so welcoming. Teresa made our drinks and she was JUST as nice. We stayed a little over an hour and decided that we would definitely be back. The entire staff was friendly and upbeat and appeared to love being at work. Quite refreshing. To the owner… great job at bringing something new to W. 6^th and having a great staff even down to the security guards at the door that told us «Good luck» when we walked out into the rain. LOL. Now, My only suggestion would be to get a larger variety of tequila and possibly flavored Bacardi. That would be awesome

I went to Spirits during the soft opening, so please take that into consideration when reading this. I understand that they hadn’t received a lot of things on their menu, since they had just opened but some of the things Spirits has doesn’t make sense. I’m actually not sure what it’s trying to be as it seems it wants to be all things to all people. It’s a cigar bar and hookah lounge, a restaurant, a hipster bar and a nightclub and they have a popcorn machine. They also advertise a healthy menu, but in reality it’s typical pub fare with a selection of sandwiches, burgers and apps – not exactly the healthiest.
Having said that the food was delicious. I very much enjoyed the turkey burger I received (one of the most healthy options they offer). Although the service was rather slow (it took 10 minutes to get mayo), but I will again chalk that up as «just opened» jitters.
I think the thing that perplexes me the most is their salad bar. It’s very tiny and hidden away in the back next to a small soup warmer. It’s on a portal unit, I’m guessing so they can move it at night along with the tables and chairs to turn the space into a nightclub. But it just seems unappetizing to me.
All in all, I’m not sure what to make of Spirits. I will certainly be back at some point down the road and then I’ll be able to edit this review after garnering a full experience, but as of yet I’m just not sure what to make of it at all.
