Olive Room Debuts with Skyline Views and Bold Cocktails at Intro in Ohio City

The Olive Room brings skyline views, swanky vibes, and South American-inspired cocktails to Ohio City's Intro building. This isn't just an extension—it's the main event.

Cleveland’s bar scene just got even hotter with the arrival of the Olive Room at the Intro building in Ohio City. This isn’t your average rooftop spot—think sophisticated lounge, creative cocktails with a South American twist, and some of the best skyline views in the game. The Olive Room is ready to turn your next night out into a mini vacation (with Fernet, obviously).

A Stylish New Era Above Jaja

What was once a spillover patio for Jaja has been totally reimagined. Now, the Olive Room owns its own identity, complete with rich wood finishes, lush plants, and warm, golden lighting. Step upstairs and you’ll discover a 38-seat lounge where the roof’s open-air design means you can literally gaze at the stars—or the city lights—while sipping something fresh.

A Walk-In Only Lounge—No RSVP Required

Forget scouring for reservations. The Olive Room is 100% walk-in, making it Cleveland’s new go-to for spontaneous plans. Rolling with friends? Popped over without a plan? As long as there’s room, you’re in.

No reservations, ever
38 seats, plus those killer views
Hours mostly synced with Jaja (for now), but expect them to stretch later

Snack & Sip: The Menus

Foodies, you’re covered. The bar features select hits from the Jaja menu, or you can sample a handful of new snacks only found at the Olive Room:

Chips and salmon roe (snack like a superstar)
Fried lobster croquettes
Scallop crudo with tiger’s milk
Chicken liver pate It’s bar bites on vacation—refined, but not fussy.

The South American Cocktail Vibe

The Olive Room’s drink menu is as ambitious as the view, thanks to influence from chef Daniel Del Prado and beverage director Megan Luedtke. Inspiration leans into Argentinian and South American flavors, so expect the unexpected:

A dirty martini with chimichurri (it works, trust us)
Fernet-laced creations (Argentina's unofficial national drink)
A sweet-and-sour cocktail with cachaça and yerba mate
Global wine list from next door This isn’t your old neighborhood gin and tonic. If you love a little adventure in your glass, you’re exactly the Olive Room’s type.

Why Olive Room Matters

Ohio City keeps raising the bar, pun intended, and the Olive Room is a sign that Cleveland’s cocktail culture isn’t slowing down. It's a space prioritizing both efficiency and vibe—if there’s a wait at Jaja, you now have a legit pre-game hangout a few feet away. Add in the unique open roof and panoramic views, and the Olive Room is destined to become the city’s next favorite sunset stop—even before the official patio season starts.

How to Find It and What to Expect

You’ll find the Olive Room right upstairs at Intro Cleveland (the huge building at West 25th and Lorain). Just follow that cool crowd heading upstairs. Hours sync with Jaja for now; keep an eye out for expanded late-night service soon.

Pro tip: Arrive early or on a weekday to sample everything before the buzz really takes off. Bring a group, bring a date, or just treat yourself—either way, bring your camera for those skyline snaps.
