I’m thrilled to announce that my upcoming book, Cleveland Neighborhood Taverns: A Pub Crawl Through History, is officially available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and directly from Arcadia Publishing.
As a lifelong Clevelander, capturing the emotional and historical essence of our city’s neighborhood taverns has been deeply rewarding. These taverns weren’t merely bars; they were gathering places for families, immigrant communities, and friends—places where laughter, drama, and unforgettable memories unfolded.
Here’s just a “sip” of what’s inside:
- A comprehensive pub crawl through time, featuring historic taverns from every Cleveland neighborhood—from the oldest frontier saloons to beloved bars of recent memory.
- Rare photographs of historic Cleveland taverns (inside and out!)
- Taverns as vital hubs of immigration, politics, and Cleveland’s vibrant music scene
- Tales of legendary saloonkeepers, secret speakeasies, and Prohibition-era excitement
- Odd and mysterious events—from infamous murders to scandalous mysteries
- Stories of multi-generational immigrant families who built communities from behind the bar
- Legendary taverns that hosted mobsters, bootleggers, and celebrities
- Bars made famous through appearances in beloved TV shows and movies
Stay tuned—I’ll be updating this site regularly as neighborhood events, book signings, and presentations are scheduled.
