Top choice in Cleveland
Mention to pals that you're going to the Millard Fillmore Presidential Library, and you can tell they're impressed by your intellectual curiosity. Then they figure out it's a dive bar with craft beer in burgeoning Collinwood, and they're even more impressed. Fillmore was the USA's 13th president, and from New York incidentally. But that shouldn't hinder a great bar name.
There is indeed a 'library' and it consists of four books at the end of the bar; ask the friendly bartender to point it out.
