Reddstone is a great little bar in the growing Battery Park neighborhood of Cleveland.  They have an amazing patio in the summer with an outdoor bar.  I have been there a handful of times with kind of spotty service, but I didn't let that stop me from checking out one of the more popular taco nights! 

With $1.00 beef tacos, with a very popular cilantro lime sauce, they were pretty popular with our group.  They were tough to eat, as the fried shells were pretty large, almost like mini taco salads (pictured below), but everyone seemed to really enjoy them.  Everyone kind of complained about the difficulty to maneuver at first, but then gorged on tacos and seemed to be over it. 

Yet again, no veggie tacos.  Another veggie quesadilla for this gal.  I will never understand why bars & restaurants can't just put the quesadilla ingredients in a taco shell and call it a day.  You win some, you lose some.  The quesadilla was very good, though! 

They are currently renovating their kitchen, but I made sure to confirm (thanks Facebook!) that taco nights are still on.  To be honest, I'm not sure if they had less of a variety due to the kitchen reno or not.  I'll have to consider some future research :)  Their full menu is great, though, and I will definitely be back!

This is not one of our normal spots... An unassuming bar in a strip mall in Brooklyn... The bar is filled with regulars (including one of my co-workers who has her seat at the bar and will fight you for it).    The place was pretty busy.  The bar was full and the tables filled up while we were there.  A mixed crowd, for sure. 

It took us a while to get tacos since you have to order them from the bar or directly with the kitchen.  Servers/bartenders do not come to your table.  Our order definitely took over a half hour.  The taco knights were hungry and getting crabby.  And then the giant tacos arrived, over-flowing with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and more cheese (seriously, lots of cheese).  The shells were really good, and the tacos were big. 

Not a ton of variety... And they only serve the taco specials on Wednesdays.  The rest of their menu isn't available.  I had a taco salad, since there were no veggie options.  We got some of the nachos, too, and they hit the spot.

The beer was cheap, and there was bar bowling (our favorite).  So, I think overall we were pretty pleased!
