Best Of Cleveland: Viking Bar

Rustic, medieval Viking bar LBM has a loyal modern following.

LBM is just your neighborhood corner bar. If your neighborhood is in Norway and populated by Vikings. Gird yourself like you’re about to sail into battle with one of its popular house cocktails, such as the Gunslinger ($10) made with Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon, ginger beer, orange-ginger syrup and lemon. A seasonal menu, dubbed Shifting With The Winds, includes tasty tipples such as the Blood Eagle ($10) with roasted beet-infused Broker’s gin, Averna, Campari, angostura and Peychaud’s bitters. When it comes to the rustic, medieval style of the space, the vibe stems from details crafted by the team, such as the crossed swords on the wall, the wolf on the spot’s logo and the axes printed on the menu. “Even the way that we hid the radiator, we did it with essentially logs around it and kind of put in that outdoorsy, cabin-y like feel,” says owner Eric Ho. 12301 Madison Ave., Lakewood, 216-712-4692, lbmbar.com
