Cleats Marblehead

Nestled along the scenic shores of Lakeside Marblehead, Cleats Marblehead is a vibrant bar & grill that masterfully combines the best of American cuisine with the lively spirit of a sports bar and a cozy pub atmosphere. Whether you're craving a casual bite after a day on the water or looking to soak in a hearty meal alongside the buzz of game day excitement, Cleats offers a welcoming retreat with panoramic views and a menu that celebrates local flavors and bold, satisfying dishes.

At Cleats, the culinary offerings are as diverse as they are tempting. Dive into the renowned Lake Erie Monster pizza—a decadent blend of parmesan alfredo sauce, succulent shrimp, lobster, smoky bacon, fresh tomatoes, and melted mozzarella cheese that bursts with coastal freshness. For fans of classic pub fare elevated with a creative twist, the Perch Sandwich and the Walleye Sandwich deliver perfectly crispy, flaky fish nestled in artisan buns, evoking the spirit of the surrounding lakeside community.

Appetizers like the Salty Schooner Pretzel and the crispy, golden Boneless Wings offer irresistible starters that tease the palate with layers of texture and flavor. The Crock Of Chili, rich and robust, is generously topped with melted cheese and red onions, served alongside crunchy nachos—a cozy, satisfying bowl perfect for those cooler lakeside evenings. For lighter fare, the Summer Berry Salad or the Coconut Shrimp Salad engage the senses with fresh, vibrant ingredients and delicate hints of sweetness.

The pizza selection, a cornerstone of the menu, runs the gamut from the tangy simplicity of the Margherita with garlic sauce, oven-roasted tomatoes, and fresh basil, to the hearty, meat-packed Meat Lovers. Each pie is crafted with care, balancing gooey mozzarella and savory toppings on a perfectly baked crust that strikes just the right crispness.

What truly rounds out the experience at Cleats is the inviting, laid-back atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the exceptional service and the warmth of the staff, like Alicia and Tay, who add an extra shine to every visit with genuine care and attentiveness. The stunning lakeside views coupled with the buzz of lively conversations, clinking glasses, and the occasional big game on TV make this spot a favorite gathering place for locals and visitors alike.

Don't miss the sweet finale—indulge in the Towering Chocolate Cake, a decadent slice so rich it’s tempting to share but too delightful to give up easily, or the playful Dessert Pretzel, filled with sweet cream cheese frosting and drizzled in both chocolate and caramel sauces—each bite a perfect balance of warmth, sweetness, and nostalgia.

From satisfying comfort foods and inventive seafood dishes to refreshing cocktails like the crisp Mojito, Cleats Marblehead masterfully delivers a memorable dining experience steeped in regional charm and friendly hospitality. Whether you’re fueling up before an excursion on Lake Erie or winding down with friends, this is a go-to destination that feels like a true home away from home.
