About This Event
The Best of the West is designed to showcase the most outstanding establishments and people on the West Side as voted upon by the readers of Cleveland Magazine. Three finalists in each Best of the West category were determined based on nomination ballots cast by the readers of Cleveland Magazine. The finalists will be announced in our April 2026 issue, and each has been invited to host a space at the 2026 Best of the West Party. One winner in each category will be determined by a final vote that will take place at the party.
