Republic Food + Drink earns cheers at Playhouse Square

It was a distinct time — and what feels like a distinct planet — when I first tried using to dine at Republic Foodstuff + Drink ahead of a display at Playhouse Square in Cleveland.

I cannot even remember the display, to be trustworthy. What I do recall is I would be comically late if I needed a desk in time to make it to said demonstrate.

One particular pandemic later on, I was not heading to make that mistake ahead of a comedy clearly show that would be having location a several doors down from the cafe. Republic doesn’t take reservations when Playhouse Square has something heading on, and I was advised around the phone that to be safe and sound to make the exhibit at 7 p.m. on a Friday, 5:30 p.m. need to be my focused arrival time.

When my mate Cassandra and I arrived at Republic — and observed vacant tables galore — I puzzled if I’d fearful for almost nothing. Very well, not long just after we had been seated at a table in the most important dining home with large home windows hunting out on to Euclid Avenue, the tables about us crammed up, as did the tables and booths in a 2nd narrower space about the corner and the inviting bar place.
