Where to Watch the Cleveland Browns

Game day is easier somewhere you can hear the person next to you. Here is where we watch the Browns, starting with our own bar.

The wine bar at Vincent William

Big screens, but not a sports bar: comfortable seating, room to spread out, and a fire going in the cold months. Cabernet Franc or Chardonnay by the glass, craft cocktails, Irish whiskeys and local beer. The kitchen sends out flatbreads, meat and cheese boards, and the full menu, so game-day food here means a stone-fired fig and prosciutto flatbread rather than nachos. It works for a small group who want to watch the game and still talk.

East 4th Street, Cleveland

The densest run of game-day options downtown, from straight sports bars to sit-down dinners, all within a block.

The Clevelander Bar & Grill, Cleveland

A downtown standby: multiple screens, bar food, and a crowd of regulars. Easy to walk into alone and end up in a conversation.

Winking Lizard Tavern, multiple locations

A long beer list and a casual room, with locations across Northeast Ohio. The default when you want somewhere close to home.

TownHall, Ohio City

Organic menu, loud room, packed on Sundays.

Great Lakes Brewing Company, Cleveland

The beer hall on Market Avenue, and the Cleveland beer to drink while you watch.

If you want to make a weekend of it, the rooms upstairs are adults-only and breakfast is cooked to order. Check availability for your dates, or call (440) 428-1300.
