Please join us on Saturday, February 14th at 2 o’clock at the Hungarian Museum for our first program in our 2026 Spring Lecture Series.
The Tavern On The Corner: Pub Crawl Through Cleveland’s Old Neighborhood. Presented by Tom Kaschalk
Cleveland’s neighborhood taverns are more than just places to grab a drink—they are living pieces of history, filled with stories of immigrants, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who built the city. From the frontier saloons of the 1800s to the vibrant family-run bars of the 20th century, these watering holes were the heart of their communities. Cleveland’s Hungarian neighborhood had many well-loved taverns that served as gathering places for members of the community.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day at the Cleveland Hungarian Heritage Museum and step back to a time when neighborhood taverns—not smartphones—were an integral part of community life. We offer you the option of leaving your electronic devices at home and invite you to engage in conversation, laughter, and good company over some awesome refreshments after the talk.
