Water Street.
Zephyr is for the hipsters/Weird/Artsy people which is why I never go there. But their patio is nice though. Just my opinion.

zephyr's crowd is very diverse and probably best represents the people who make up this town. look closely when you walk by, nate - you'll see the hipster/weird/artsy folk sharing space with academics, bikers, blue- and white-collar 40-somethings, gays and jocks. seriously, stop by for a beer sometime - people who look different are always the most fun to drink with anyway...

Where were all these nominations all week? It's too late to add them to the poll, though.

Riverside Wine Deck overlooking the Cuyahoga river is the best!

Seriously how could you not add the Zephyr? Shotty journalism.

If you read the story you'll see the poll is based on submissions and nominations from readers, which we asked for several days in advance. No one nominated the Zephyr's great 3-story deck, so they were left off at the time this piece ran. Also note that you're violating Patch's terms of use by commenting under a pseudonym user name rather than your actual name.

i get it now - the pseudonym user name is only an issue when that user questions the journalistic integrity of the editor. If you're reminding one, Matt, you should remind them all. Or don't remind anyone - it's a stupid policy anyway.
