Prior to its closing in 2020, Banter, which opened in December 2015, had become a beloved comfort food spot and hangout in Gordon Square, specializing in homemade sausages and Canadian poutine (fries topped with gravy and cheese), as well as craft beers and wine. And while it also opened an outpost at Shaker Heights’ Van Aken District Food Hall, it just wasn’t the same type of experience.
So fans rejoiced when it reopened in Gordon Square in the former Min Ahn location in early 2024 for a more relaxed sit-down dining and drinking experience. In the new location, it expanded its menu to include more choices in its signature categories of sausages, corndogs and poutine and added a cocktail list. The Gordon Square location also includes a wine and beer retail shop.
