Clair Tavern and Grill
Had my first knuckle sandwich that I liked at Clair Tavern and Grill in Clarington, Ohio!! Great spot that’s been around the 1940’s with only three owners! Fresh pork rinds that still pop and snap when they bring them out!! Very cool spot down on the Ohio River!

But after seeing the dogs that didn’t look slummy at all I told the to send me some pics so we can share the good word! The sweet potato fries and regular fries we did try and they were FANTASTIC!

Nominate a Tavern
Ohio is massive and we can't hit every bar on our own. If you know a local tavern that deserves a spotlight — the kind of place that's been there forever, has a story, and pours a cold one right — tell us about it.
We review every nomination and plan our routes based on community tips. Your local gem could be our next stop.

About the Tour
The Dude Network Tavern Tour started as a simple question: what are the best taverns in Ohio, and why doesn't anyone talk about them?
We're not reviewing upscale cocktail bars or trendy gastropubs. We're finding the real places — corner bars in small towns, neighborhood pubs that've been open for 60 years, the spots where locals have been drinking for generations. The places with stories baked into the walls.
Every stop gets a full video review, an honest write-up, and a pin on the map. We're building a living guide to Ohio's tavern culture — one cold beer at a time.
