Pokey's

Pokeys is a great neighborhood type of bar. The only neighborhood type bar in Cleveland TN. (IMO). There is an expansive bar with seating in two locations, multiple big screens always playing sports, a section with pool tables, and nice outdoor seating area. The food is basically "bar food", but it's great, I recommend the Southern Egg rolls and the wings.
The owner's name is actually Pokey, I met him today, but didn't ask him about how he got that name.
Anyhow, if you are looking for a cold beer and some good food in Cleveland TN, check out Pokeys.

We left called management miss Gracie she said it was policy for security to get up in your face and brutally ask you to leave and also security is not supposed to carry a gun which he had his hand on during convertation management told us to contact mr.pokey which they wouldn't tell me who he was but he is Mr Steve Clark so Mr pokey feel free to contact me

Their foods at lunch are fantastic, the chicken casserole, fried okra and pinto beans is my usual go to lunch special. Their burgers and BBQ is equally great.

Hair in my chicken casserole. Offered me a discount or another plate from the same batch of casserole the hair came from. I politely declined and asked for it to be removed from bill. They did, but in the end, knowing that there was a hair in the batch of chicken casserole and they are still going to serve it...is kind of gross and not right.
