I love coming back to my old favorites. Here I am in Concord C at Cleveland airport. Great lakes you can't get any more home beer than this. Today I'm trying a double IPA called Juicy Vivacious. Plus the turkey club. With the side of chips. The club had a nice spicy aïoli on it. That was really a nice surprise to get up just a little extra taste to the turkey and the bacon and fresh avocado laid on it and then sourdough bread was grilled perfection. I'll be back in a month hope I get Brian here again . Great service from Brian/server as I said at the bar. The ambience is beautiful. It's a nice Tuesday afternoon with snow falling around the airport and everybody is on laptops and having a nice afternoon at Cleveland Airport.

Food is average to below average, but the bartender is fantastic! I had the fish and chips and a beer and it was filling, but tasted a bit like boxed frozen fish. Fries were okay, but also not very fresh tasting. Coleslaw was a bit sweet and a bit runny. The price point for the airport was right in line with just about everything else (read: overpriced and not a great bang for your buck). I am giving a good review because everyone who works here is beyond nice and friendly. Sitting at the bar is relaxing and comfortable. Beer is cold and refreshing.

The best of the restaurants inside Hopkins Airport, in my opinion. Good food and of course Great Lakes beer.Kudos to our server Megan, friendly and efficient first thing in the morning.

Always a very nice place to stop right before grabbing a flight. Unfortunately their beer really isn't that good, too crafty.

Great Lakes used to be a great stop for beer and food. It was fantastic years ago. The last 2 times I went there, it was just so below average. The beer is great lakes, so it's ok. The food, however, has steadily declined to the point that I do not think I can go back. The last times my family went there, nobody really liked anything about their food. Small menu and very below average.

We were visiting from Michigan for the weekend. Great Lakes Brewing was highly recommended as a place to visit and eat and it did not disappoint. Food was great. Staff was great. Ashley was awesome. Dan and Lynn M were terrific wait staff. Would highly recommend Great Lakes Brewing when visiting the downtown Cleveland area.

Their beer is excellent. This is known. You'll also enjoy their food too. We shared two apps: pretzel bites and hummus with veggies. A perfect lunch before a flight to Scotland.

This place is perfect to grab a beer, mimosa or Bloody Mary while you wait at the airport. The bartenders are efficient, lots of beers on tap and a nice selection! I didn't try there food but they do have a full menu. Definitely my go-to for drinks at CLE airport!

TAKE THE TOUR!! Includes a flight of 4 and a souvenir pint glass, all for $15. The tour center featured a beer bottle wall, perfect for the budding beerfluencer. Hank and Victor were knowledgeable, hospitable, and friendly. Great traditional beer selection. LOVED the Mexican lager.

Every person facing a long day of air travel needs beer, so every airport worth its salt needs a great brewery to aid weary and nervous travelers in quenching their thirst! Hopkins has a few of these, but GLBC stands tall above the rest! Always 6-8 of their famous beers on draft and several other bottled options. The menu here for food is on the smaller side, but is more than enough to satisfy most hungry travelers. Decor is fresh and inviting! Definitely a place worth killing a few hours of layover time at. Highly recommend!
For an early morning breakfast at the airport I wanna say I was blown away. The bartender was such a cool likeable person. I got the basic breakfast and those scrambled eggs were some of the best I ever had. Cooked perfectly. Not over cooked or undercooked just perfect. I've ate at some fancy places and never had eggs this good. Didn't have beer just coffee but the coffee was not bad at all

It's hard to find decent food in the airport and Cleveland Hopkins reinforces this notion. But Great Lakes is a great spot to grab a bite before the flight. Our server was great but I had to send the shrimp tacos back because they weren't cooked all the way. Limited menu obviously being in an airport.
