Char Whiskey Bar & Grille

In a great location in Rocky River. The burgers are big and juicy. I remember leaving very satisfied. The service was excellent. We sat at the bar, and we had a joyful conversation with the bartender. The atmosphere was good as well. I personally am not a fan of bars or the old-school look, but if I were, Char is the perfect vibe.

Last thing I will say is the burgers are on the expensive side but very worth it and I wouldn't take kids because they don't deserve those kind of burgers and because it's a whisky bar.

Lobster Rolls - amazing
Bartender: caring and really GREAT service
Ambiance: nice tonight on a Thursday evening.

I decided to give this place another chance, on a whim.
I'm so glad I did. The bartender was really helpful with helping me choose something. I chose Lobster Rolls against my better judgment. They were amazing. I got one cold, one hot. I recommend the hot but the cold was good too. I don't know how much extra Lobster would be but next time I'm going for it.

I'll be back - SOON!!

I come here when I want a good sip of bourbon.

Not so much for the food. I ate here before, I was unimpressed. Service was great.

We ventured to Char through a recommendation of a friend and it was phenomenal. We enjoyed the Char burger that had a nice touch of short rib and a great sauce. The wings and pomme frites were excellent too. Great service and atmosphere at the bar!

We had a great dinner visit to Char! Our server was fantastic! Great drinks (cocktails & selection of liquors) and they even make mocktails for those who do not partake in libations. I thoroughly enjoyed my server's recommendation of a Blackberry Smash mocktail -- beautiful presentation and refreshing! The food was also quite good. The pomme frites with garlic aioli were addicting and the Char Wedge was huge! My husband loved the mango rice that came with his halibut and everyone enjoyed the short rib poutine. I would definitely come back!

Char has a pleasant ambiance but the food and service left something to be desired. Our waiter although pleasant was rarely to be found. The onion soup and chowder was excellent. The wedge salad was terrible...watered down sour cream. Not sure I'd go back.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I absolutely LOVE brunch, and Char did NOT disappoint. Our first time visiting Char, and definitely not our last. My daughter and I visited around 1:00, on a Saturday afternoon. The dining room was probably half full, with a steady flow of customers, in and out. We were greeted and seated, right away. Our server, Brandon, approached, and walk us through the menu, at a high level, since this was our first visit. We ordered a number of dishes to share. We ordered, the eggs Benedict, no prosciutto, the breakfast hash, the waffle, and yogurt with granola. Our entrees arrived a short time later. Our favorites, were the hash, and waffles. The hash was delightful, a mix of white, and sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, nicely seasoned, and topped with a sunnyside up egg. The waffles, were warm, almost funnel cake like, reminded me of a liege waffle, just a little but crunchy on the surface. The yogurt with homemade granola was nice, and our least favorite was the eggs Benedict, but it was still tasty. We don't eat beef or pork, so I think by ordering without the prosciutto, the dish was missing the "salty" component. The Benedict was well composed, soft English Muffin, lightly toasted, topped with spinach, a perfectly poached egg, and homemade hollandaise. The portions were generous, the service was great, and we left full and happy. I do wish there were some non-pork/beef meat options, a homemade chicken sausage, perhaps (hint, hint:-)), We will definitely return for brunch and looking forward to trying the dinner options, as well!

Char was great! Very friendly employees and so many options on the menu. We got burgers, a breakfast plate, and clam chowder, but the steak salad was my favorite! Nice indoor seating and bar.

Writing this review too late so can't remember all the details but make a reservation for the weekends to be safe cuz this place gets popular!

Time after time, brunch, happy hour, dinner or late night cocktails, inside , at the bar or outside on the front patio...all of this adds up to fantastic service and dishes full of flavor.

Where to begin, the cocktails are unique and Smokey with a little whimsy if you order a little waffle on the side! The scallops were cooked to perfection, the burger perfectly seasoned all worth the wait.

If you prefer, brunch is always a good way to start at Char, Saturday and Sunday are open, just be sure to make a reservation unless you don't mind sitting at the bar. Either way it's a great experience. The yogurt bowl is always part of my brunch order, along with the special Benedict, lobster or crab, delicious.

So make a reservation and enjoy.
