“Best chicken tenders of my life. The mac and cheese was also very very good and had a nice smokiness to it. I got the cider named "Berry" it was pretty good not anything special but definitely still worth going for the food alone.“
“Buckeye is an absolutely amazing place. It is so great we went back a second night on my trip to Cleveland. I wish I could tell you what to get but everyone ordered something different each night and we all left super happy! You won’t go wrong hitting up this gem in Ohio!“
“Shannon was PHENOMENAL. She absolutely brightened our day, was thoughtful, and gave us the BEST recommendations for our 3 days in Cleveland. Shannon single-handedly improved our stay and made us feel at home in Cleveland! We will be back! Thanks, Shannon!“
“Bookhouse hosted us for semi-private event in the Tin Room, and I cannot overemphasize how much we enjoyed their beautiful space and joyous atmosphere. The beer selection is incredible and the entire staff was friendly and accommodating from booking to the night of the party. If you are looking for a supremely cool place to host an event (or just to have a beer), I highly recommend Bookhouse.“
“This review is for brunch specifically - the bloody marys are not very good, they were strangely a light pink color and tasted very watered down. The snacks on top were great though, although the pierogi on top was super cold & a little soggy from resting on top of the drink.We split a brunch sampler board, which is definitely big enough for 2 people. The eggs came out lukewarm, which I assume is just due to the timing of plating them/being picked up. Everything on the board was quite tasty.We sat in the room off to the side of the main restaurant (beer garden room, I think?) - it was very warm in there, but April is a fickle month, so I get why it's hard to manage the temperature! It's a beautiful room though and I'm glad we got to sit there.Also want to shout out the fact that the bathrooms contain free period products which should be the standard everywhere ?“
“I went here with my gentleman friend the other day. Loved the dogs! I also loved the rosé wine since I'm not a beer drinker. The waffle fries were to die for, especially with the cheese sauce; the menu said it's beer cheese but luckily I couldn't taste beer. The Little Gem Salad was disappointing, though; the romaine wasn't cut! You get it whole, so I had to cut it up. I had to prep my own salad! The dressing was meh, but the salmon I got with it was delicious. I'l be back...but I will skip the salad.“
“Went to Brick and Barrel on St. Patty’s day and it looked like a super cozy spot to drink some brews. We got their flight and sampled the different brews. They have a pizza place (different restaurant) next door that offers some delicious Italian pizza as well as other Italian food. They also had some sandwiches for St. Patty’s day! They serve some bar snacks inside and everyone is super warm and welcoming.“
“Love this pet friendly brewery. The food hits the spot, amazing American comfort food. The service is 10/10! Great vibes, chill atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and order the mac and cheese!!! Can't go wrong with the flights. Great beer, great food, everything you could ask for!“
“Best brewery in Cleveland!A great variety on tap, and everything we tried was very good. The menu had enough options, but wasn’t bloated, and the food was all expertly made.The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was charming.Will be back soon!“
“This is a brewery that I wish I lived closer to. It has all the things I love - a big, quiet outdoor area with large trees, plenty of seating, and some fun Halloween decor; a historic building with multiple rooms for different size groups with decor that is fun, engaging and historical; and great beer too! I especially loved the French Toast Phantom that I ordered this week. Service is friendly and helpful here. It's an easy walk from W 25th in Ohio City, so if you're exploring that strip, check this place out too.“
“Good food and great service. They have a long beer menu that is very well crafted. If you want some thing that’s not hoppy and you consider an IPA decent this place was great. As a person who prefers darker beers, I was a little disappointed.“
“Some of the best beer, pizza, and overall vibes in Cleveland. The Reuben pizza & chicken bacon ranch are always a go-to, but all of the food is delicious. We've been coming here for years now, and the staff feel more like friends & family to us than anywhere else.“
“First, the beer is amazing. Second, the food is fabulous! I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was the best! My wife had the Mahi Mahi wrap she said it was amazing. We both got the coleslaw as our side and were glad we did. Third the atmosphere and service was great. We will be back.“
“Save your self the decision process get both the pretzel and the pepper dip thank me later. So this is more of a question than a review.....who had the crazy idea to put blackberry on elk? I want to send you a Christmas card by good friend. Scots ale was my favorite by a mile. That with the burger are a solid combo. The fries hot fresh and crispy absolutely delicious. The Napoleon to end the night was the perfect way to end it. I'm upset it took me this long to come here but that burger took the thrown of my favorite local burger and I don't see it getting dethroned well done person who put blackberry on a burger well done indeed.“
“Like this place a lot and have been here many times. The in house beers are usually very good and only disappoint once in a while. Service is always great, very friendly and prompt. The facilty is large and seating is usually available. There is a wide choice of sandwiches on the menu and they do a good job on most of them. The fish is good too. Prices are fair for the portions. 1 sandwich and side is enough for 2 average eaters. They could use a better selection of sauces. Too many are BBQ based and are too similar.“
“What a location!! Right on the water, we were sat in the enclosed patio area and got to watch the seagulls feast with us.We started with the beer and shot and I had a sweater weather, I had them change out the vodka for tequila. It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value. I’m gonna pregame here for sure! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!Vegetarian options: Many options were on the menu for brunch at least.Parking: More parking than usual for an establishment in the Flats“
“If I were to describe Butcher and the Brewer in one word, it would be: derelicte. Never before have I seen a space that so fully embraced the dumpster chic aesthetic... and located on swanky East 4th Street to boot! (That said, it did have a certain kind of charm.)As expected, all of the beers were delicious, with a wide variety to boot (including an abundance of seasonally-appropriate barrel-aged stouts, each one more boozy and addictive than the last). While the food was good, most dishes were missing that one element that could have elevated them to the next level. The kimchi arancini and onion dip were both flavorful but a little bit stodgy, the chutney for the broiled (not fried - I appreciated that!) brussels sprouts was lacking in depth, and the meatballs were fine but completely outshone by the pungent puttanesca sauce. The one exception was the pretzel - do yourself a favor and get the pretzel! It was outstanding; easily the best brewpub pretzel in the city! (To be fair, the more meat-centric menu options might have been better, but between the steep prices and average quality of what we already ordered, we opted to skip things like the steak or bone marrow.)As for the experience... call me old-fashioned, but I didn't appreciate the automated ordering system, whereby everything was ordered and paid for using a smart phone. While it may have been "efficient," I missed the human touch of interacting with our server throughout the meal. (Plus, I think people nowadays stare at their phones entirely too much in the first place!)“
“Our server Dino was Aaaaaaaamazing!!!! The food was also excellent! Will be visiting again!Vegetarian options: Saw saladsDietary restrictions: They have gluten sensitive options, including dessertKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and it isn't overpricedWheelchair accessibility: They have tables of varying sizes for wheelchair access“
“GREAT neighborhood brewery. Very strong selection of beers to satisfy any taste from pilsners, through IPA and saison, to stout. The peanut butter stout and the raspberry saison were particularly good. Family friendly. We were unable to catch the live music, hopefully next time“
“Food and beer is really good. The blueberry beer is really good but the punch in the nuts is the absolute best. It has the best peanut butter flavor ever!!! So dreamy!!! Their grouper with the potato and sweet potato matchsticks is superb and cooked to absolute perfection!!! Their holy frijoles burger with the house made mango salsa is fabulous!!! I wish they had more beer selections.“
“We stopped here after visiting the west side market. I'm surprised that this spot doesn't have better ratings - we really enjoyed this restaurant. For a Saturday it wasn't too busy and we did not have to wait for seats. We ordered the flight of beers, smash burger, and the pretzel. I highly recommend the smash burger it was fantastic. The pretzel with cheese dip was great, and extremely fresh. Lastly the espresso martini was one of the best I have tried. Our server was friendly and helpful. There's outdoor seating, and this spot is definitely dog friendly.“
“I'll keep this one short and sweet. I ordered lunch through DoorDash and it took longer than expected. My dasher said it was because my pizza got stuck in the oven. But when it arrived it was so good! The Bees Knees has a hint of sweetness from the honey and a kick from the crushed peppers. I'm not good with heat, but I was able to eat the entire pizza without water so it's not very hot. I had one tickle that made me cough, but that was all. The capicola was crispy and didn't taste spicy at all.I also ordered the saucy bread and they were OK, but nothing special. It didn't really have the seasoning that was advertised and it was slightly dry. I wouldn't order it again.This is definitely a good pizza place. If I'm lucky enough to find myself dining in while I'm in town, I'll order a larger pizza next time so that I have leftovers.“
“Excellent brewery and common room for a hearty lunch or dinner. Our lunch was excellent between the chicken noodle soup, Hansa burger, great fries and the Rueben eggrolls. The beers on tap were very good, and a half liter went down pretty quickly. They had at least six of their own on draft and a number of others to choose from. The waiter was ab absolute hoot and reminded us very much of the efficient German waitstaff in Germany. I am sure this would be a great place to hang out at night, or even out on the patio in the summer.We also took a stroll through the import store attached to the brewery and ended up walking out with way more than we expected. What a great place!“
“This is in the Ohio City neighborhood. It was packed and loud when we got there but they found us a table. We split a pretzel which was hot, buttery and delicious with a cheese sauce. I had an Ohio City Cream Soda which my companion thought was too sweet but I enjoyed it -- coconut spiced rum, pineapple, cola. We ordered burgers. They were thin patties, nicely griddled, juicy and with a good flavor. The top of my bun was cold, which was weird, but otherwise very tasty. My fries were skin-on and crispy. It was loud but our server was quick and attentive. We really enjoyed our burgers. There was a samurai (??) lamp in the back of the restaurant which was unexpected as it didn't fit the vibe.“

“Went there tonight and it was my first time trying the new menu. The bartender was amazing and answered every question I had. I'm a vegetarian and decided to get a pasta dish without chicken. He said he felt it needed something to replace the chicken and offered some suggestions. Then he went back to the kitchen to talk to them directly about my order. I ended up with a perfect combination of pasta and veggies and couldn't have been happier. The food is absolutely amazing and the service top notch! We'll be back for sure!“
“Can’t stop coming back to this place!!!! The food is so delicious and unique, I have never ordered something that I did not absolutely love. They change their specials semi regularly and every time it is stuff so unique and tasty! Service is always incredible, wonderful selection of beers, and the place is always so clean and inviting. It’s perfect for big or small groups and any time of day.It’s a little pricey but no more than any other similar restaurant in the area and unlike a lot of other places you get really great portion sizes so the price has never bothered me. The ingredients are clearly fresh too so the price makes sense to me!“
