It was cozy and intimate. The beer was ice cold and the drinks were strong and cheap. The crowd was a mix of the artistic people you find in SoHo and working-class folks. We went for a comedy show, poetry reading and live performance from Will Cherry - who was amazing. The staff was super friendly, the service was great and the energy was both electric and laid back.

I was at Dunlap's to see the band Bitter Sweet. The place and people was inviting and friendly it's one of those shot and a beer bar's that if there's not any live music playing or something else going on well it's just your typical corner bar in Cleveland.. I would recommend this place if you want a shot and a beer...

What an amazing place. A dive bar that feels so welcoming and homey is hard to come by, but if you see a show here or just hang, you’ll feel the welcome of an amazing crowd. Joe is also one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had 9/10, I would highly recommend this bar.

Cozy, off-the-beaten path dive bar that welcomes everyone. Super friendly staff, live music/comedy, and big energy most nights keeps this intimate corner bar bumping.

Generally a pleasant vibe. Their variety show on sundays is a great reason to go, and it's free.
