Edison’s Pub Returns to Original Owner in Dramatic Tremont Turnaround

Edison’s Pub in Tremont is back in the hands of longtime owner Mark LaGrange, promising a new chapter for this oh-so-Cleveland institution.

Historic Tremont watering hole Edison’s Pub is making waves again, and not just for its legendary late-night pizza slices. After a wild year that saw ownership shift, longtime proprietor Mark LaGrange has officially reclaimed the beloved bar. The future of one of Cleveland’s favorite haunts just got a whole lot more interesting.

The Twist in the Tale

Less than a year after new management took the reins, Edison’s Pub is back with its original owner. LaGrange pulled a fast—and very Cleveland—move, changing the locks and taking control after Hangry Brands, the previous operator, failed to meet their payment obligations. Chalk it up as a win for local ownership and barflies everywhere.

Where Edison’s Stands Now

At the moment, Edison’s is temporarily closed while LaGrange gets all the operational gears grinding again. That means he’s working overtime to recover essentials like:

• The all-important POS (point-of-sale) system
• Social media access
• Its Google listing and website Everything a modern pub needs to pour beers and keep the doors open to its fiercely loyal crowd. But make no mistake—the intention is to reopen as fast as possible, possibly within days. Keep those pint glasses ready.

Why This Matters to Cleveland

Edison’s isn’t just another Tremont bar—it’s four decades of neighborhood memories, from first dates to late-night slices in the glow of twinkle lights. The pub’s return to LaGrange is about way more than business; it’s local ownership putting its arms back around a Cleveland classic. Neighbors, regulars, and longtime employees are rooting hard for its comeback. This is the fabric of the West Side, stitched back together.

The immediate focus is getting the basics up and running, but fans can expect a return to the vibe and offerings that made Edison’s a must-visit for:

• Killer pizza by the slice (mandatory after midnight)
• Local beer selection
