Adult Beverages
Hotz Café is a Tremont institution, and is only 100 yards away, left out of the front gate with a right on West 10th. Family owned and operated by the Hotz family for over 100 years, this is as much a part of Cleveland as those big, beautiful steel mills! Nothing fancy here, cold beers and a nice selection of liquor for shots is the standard fare, with a game of shuffleboard on Ohio’s oldest table recommended.
