A place where families and friends can come together for food, music, movies or just because it’s Wednesday.So, we decided to create one. A space that feels like a big, comfy, living room in the center of the Chagrin Valley. We’re calling it The Hive. Set to open in the spring of 2026.The Hive will be a unique collection of family-friendly eateries and entertainment venues. Where beyond menus or events, you’ll find conversations and connections and community. And we’ll take every opportunity to serve what really, truly feeds people.

Take a long sip of fine Kentucky Bourbon and let the smokehouse aroma of slow cooked barbecue transport you south of the Mason Dixon. Oak & Embers proprietors spent years researching southern cuisine to offer you this experience. Their many trips to the Carolina’s, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky have brought to life an idea born from their love for great barbecue.The Oak & Embers menu offers homemade selections prepared from scratch. Great care goes into the preparation of each entrée. Brisket, pork, ribs, sausage and chicken are wood-smoked for hours to heighten flavor and texture—pink, tender meat is proof of the process. Lighter fare options include salads and flatbreads prepared with unique taste combinations to offer an escape from the mundane. Each entrée and side dish is cooked to order from recipes created from years of tasty research. Our unique sauces, rubs and dressings are original and thoughtfully combined to complement each featured entrée.

    If you are trying to decide on a place to eat- go here! The vibe is awesome, as soon as you walk in you feel good. The food was amazing, the flavors, textures, and presentation were perfect. We had the shrimp, carrots, wings, rock shrimp, and pie. I would get them all again! The service was fantastic, from the recommendations to the care that they showed for each guest. So good, can’t wait to go back!

    Our dinner at Houlihans this past Friday was very good. We ordered the Chicken Lettuce wraps for an appetizer and they were delicious. I ordered the fish and chips for dinner and my husband had the chicken piccata. We were very pleased with our meals. Even though they were very busy, the service was excellent. We can always count on Houlihans for a good meal out
