Best of Cleveland 2016: Adult Fun

Get your game on at Funhouse, Punch Bowl Social, and Wild Eagle Saloon.
Funhouse

Funhouse

Your inner child will come out to play while you knock a few adult slushies back at this Cleveland spot. The circus-themed dive bar gives people a place to relax and have fun after work with skeeball and Whack-A-Mole. Owner Stosh Burgess credits his transformed bar to attending fairs as a child and now with his kids. “There’s no reason you can’t like or do the same things now,” says Burgess. 1539 W. 117th St., Cleveland, 216-815-5866, funhousecleveland.com 

Punch Bowl Social

Punch Bowl Social


There’s no room for boredom here. The Flats East Bank hangout has a full menu and a bar in every room. Bowl, play old-school arcade games or sing your heart out in a karaoke room with your closest friends. “We’re a place where people experience things that are going to be memorable — the things you look back at and laugh about,” says general manager Dennis Fischer. 1086 W. 11th St., Cleveland, 216-239-1508, punchbowlsocial.com

Wild Eagle

Wild Eagle Saloon

Forget your adult obligations at Wild Eagle Saloon. If you’re feeling competitive, play beer pong, shoot some hoops or hit the Rumble Room with a punching bag and arm wrestling station. If not, the self-serve draft beer wall — famously called the Inebriation Station — might be convincing enough to draw you in. “People get off of work and want to blow off some steam,” explains general manager Russ Mengle. 921 Huron Road E, Cleveland, 216-465-3225, wildeagle.com
