“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.“
“We adore BVBC. The staff is amazing, the beer is fantastic, and the vibes are immaculate. The charcuterie pretzel might be the best thing in Cleveland. They have wine, seltzer, whisky, and even non alcoholic beers. There’s awesome bands every Saturday night and whiteys chili to warm you up on those cold Ohio evenings. This place is like a second home for us and we love everything about it.“
“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!“
“One of my favorite breweries in downtown Cleveland. Great beers, delicious pizzas and nice chill atmosphere with open air environment when it is nice. Large tables inside and out with open seating and garage doors that are open on nice days. They have a pizza oven making a large variety of great pizzas and some other snack food. Service is friendly and quick. Always has a good mix of beers. Will be back many times!“
“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.“
“This new Brunswick location is hitting the ground running. I hosted a party with 2 things in mind... beer & jazz. Ignite's General Manager was honest with me from the start that a hard liquor license was coming soon, and a pizza oven was coming soon. Pizza didn't make it in time, but the brats/dogs were fantastic. I had Balloon Crew deliver balloons & a family member make some black-vase table decor, and the place popped. I hired a band and they had no problems working with Ignite to set up & play. The staff was over the top friendly, welcoming and responsive. The food display they arranged was far better than I imagined. Everyone loved the beer cheese dip. I highly recommend Ignite in Brunswick. They are exceptionally easy and straight forward to work with. A pleasure to do business!!“
“This is one of the best pizza places in the area! We had the white pizza with artichokes and topped with ricotta cheese! It was so good! I could not wait to eat the leftovers! We tried the cheesy bread! Very tasty also!!! The rest of our group ordered pizza with pepperoni. Delicious!!! I could go there every day!!! It’s that good!!!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Peach beer! Available year round is refreshing. Had a generously sized salad that was wonderful. However, I could have made a meal of those "angry" brussel sprouts and I don't really care for brussel sprouts. How did they do that?“
“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“
“I was at an ANFP conference in Cleveland- among many chefs and CDMS and RDs for the regional conference. A group of us decided to check out the Butcher and Brewer when we couldn’t get into another restaurant on East 4th and boy were we pleased it worked out that way because we had incredible service and delicious food and beverages!!!!! Raven was our server and she was absolutely amazing! She knew everything about the food and the brews and she was so much fun, we wished she could sit down and enjoy dinner with us! She made our experience memorable and made me feel proud to be a Clevelander knowing that there are fabulous people in the food industry in Cleveland! My out of town colleagues had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back to Cleveland to visit! One of my colleagues bumped into Raven on the street when she was leaving town and she went out of her way to say hi and stop and chat! What a gem! We wished she worked for us! With great customer service came an enjoyable experience and we absolutely LOVED the food!!!! Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to come back with my husband on a date night! Check out these corn dogs!!! So yummy!!! I even tried a coffee/vanilla infused beer which was also amazing!!! Check it out you won’t be disappointed and ask for Raven!“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“A fun local pub & eatery. Good selection of craft beers made by their brewery. Since the main business is a brewery, the food menu is limited to mostly sandwiches and burgers.It must be a good place as we have tried to go several times before but the place is always busy, and the wait time for a seat was too long for us.We finally got the chance and only had to wait 30 minutes for a table, and we were able to try a beer at the bar.We would go back, but not in a hurry. A fun place to check out.“
“Fantastic little brewery! Sampled 4 of their beers and all of them were fantastic! Also had a great guitarist for live music! Service from the two ladies behind the bar was friendly and fast! This place has the occasional food truck or pop-up, but doesn't offer its own food though you are allowed to bring food in! I would suggest to the owner that a small investment in a kitchen to offer bar fare would probably be a great idea!“
“We absolutely loved Hoppy Dude Brews in Hinckley, Ohio. First, if you’re always working like I am, just a drive down to Hinckley is going to refresh your mind and body. It’s such a beautiful and relaxing place. Second, you have to absolutely visit Hoppy Dude Brews. They have the best beers that people from far and wide travel to just so they can sample the deliciousness. Some of my favorites were “tickle my pickle”, “bikini bottom”, and the strawberry blonde. The staff is super friendly and the place is super cute! Omg! If you do their flights, they give you these delicious oyster crackers that you can eat between each flight sample to clear your pallet! Ingenious! I can’t wait to go back and spend the day in Hinckley and taste their delicious beer again! I hear there’s an amazing doughnut shop and a made from scratch pizza place close by as well. They also have the coolest looking putt putt golf place in the area. Wow! Hinckley has it all!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“

“Very good experience. The burger and fries were awesome. One thing I will note is that they add an extra 3% to all credit card payments. This is not the problem. The issue I have here is that the waitress did not inform me before she totaled my bill. I was paying in cash so this didn't apply to me. The waitress happily corrected it, but it all could have been avoided earlier.“
“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.“
