✨ Many restaurants and venues can’t remember who they were at the beginning of the 20th century — if they even existed at all. But there’s one name that Clevelanders have spoken for a hundred years with a semantic common ground, a name that reminds us that not everything has to become obsolete. And whether you pronounce it “may-hall’s” or “muh-hall’s,” Lakewood entertainment complex Mahall’s has a history that goes back 100 years, with only a handful of ownership changes in that time.
🎳 The building has seen quite a bit of change in its century — but today, it continues to offer itself as a second home, bowling alley, music locale, restaurant and venue for galas and weddings.
“It existed before I did,” says former owner Kelly Flamos, “and it will exist after me.”
