Heinen's Downtown, Cleveland

A stunning building with an atrium and speakeasy that will make you wonder if you’re really in a grocery store. My wife and I arrived from Cleveland and needed some supplies for the weekend. She checked maps and said, “This place looks really cool.” Parking in the area wasn’t the easiest, so she went in alone as I tended the car. We made sure to return the next day so I could experience it and my sister-in-law as well. What we saw did not disappoint. You enter through a normal looking grocery store, but when you step into the atrium, everything changes. You look up three stories to a vaulted ceiling. Inside the atrium is a deli and other made to order food. The entrance directly to this area is open weekdays from 11:00-2:00. The second floor is where the beer, wine and liquor is. Apart from just purchasing, they have a tasting area and a bar. The wine can be self-serve by the glass and décor is beautiful up there. While we didn’t stop for a drink and disappointed the bartender, they were so friendly and it would have been delightful to hang out there. There is also something called The Vault that was not open when we were there, but it is a speakeasy style bar set in an old bank vault. Heinen’s would be an incredible place to hang out with friends or go on a date. You can taste several offerings before grabbing a nice cocktail in The Vault and then grab snacks on your way out.

Coolest grocery store in Downtown Cleveland by far. And it's in a beautiful old building that could literally take your breath away with its beauty. Now I'm a man and looking up at the rotunda, it blew my mind. Got to see it to experience it. I could of took more photos of the food but I enjoyed the wine and beer section so sorry for not showing how big the market really is. 5 STAR ESTABLISHMENT!!!
