I am so late posting this review but back in July I planned a corporate event here it was amazing! From my initial inquiry, to the team answering ALL of my questions, I would 100% recommend this Collision Bend Brewing. I worked with Ashley and Alina during the planning process and Jessi, Russell, and Josh made sure all of my attendees were taken care of with drinks and dinner. Their private space we perfect, with floor to ceiling windows with a beautiful view of the river. They even bought a birthday cake and candles for us to celebrate my boss' birthday! This place and this team were top tier! read more

I probably would have more to say but not a huge beer person. Food was ok. Got two items chicken sandwich and jamm burger. Chicken sandwich was super tasty but burger was mid. Came with fries which were really cold. Service was great. Even a live band for an hour on Friday nights. read more

After looking at multiple options in the area, we chose Collision Bend as our dinner before the playhouse. We were seated outdoors with a nice view. Our waitress (Kelly T) came over and that's where it immediately went downhill. I have NEVER experienced such an unpleasant waitress. I wanted to immediately get up and leave bc of how rude and miserable she was. We ordered the queso as an appetizer. It was decent, but had so much chorizo it was like chili. Still tasty and filling. We ordered the smash burger and it wasn't a "true" smash burger. It was two patties divided by a piece of cheese. We also ordered the pepperoni pizza which came out later than the rest of our meals. Overall I'd say the food is average, but sitting thru dinner with such a miserable waitress ruined the entire evening for us. read more

We popped in here because this place had a few pinball machines. They had a very interesting cocktail menu and I had to try something new. I had to try the Fernet & Cola. The bartender did let me try the Ferber first and I was intrigued with the flavor I thought I would give it a try. It wasn't what I expected, but chocked half of it down. I then went with something I knew I would love. The inside was very industrial and had a fun crowd. read more

Great experience at Collision Bend. We asked about patio, but it was full. Still seated at a table that felt like the patio. Enjoyed our bevs & meals. Appreciate that when hubby ordered the shrimp tacos, the server preemptively warned that it was an order of two. All right. And then when they inquired whether I wanted another beer and I hemmed and hawed (almost literally), she offered a taste or a half pint. Solutions! Steller. Just the pre concert experience we desired. Ps. My only pickle was my onions. Could swear they were described as pickled onions. They were not. Just plain old raw red onion, which I don't prefer. But not a big deal. read more

We stopped in for drinks after dinner in the Flats area. We sat at a table outside by the water. Seated quickly, and our server was very friendly and accommodating. Our cocktails were mixed well and tasty. The views were absolutely beautiful. Adding this place to our list of 'must do' for our next trip to town. read more

Collision Bend is a trendy waterfront brewery in the Flats. Inside you'll find a large dining room, taproom, enclosed patio, and outdoor patio. The brewery features exposed brick walls and nautical themes. You can also find pinball machines in various parts of the brewery. In my humble opinion, it's one of the best sunset views in Cleveland. This brewery features a pretty extensive menu especially for a brewery. You can find greens, small plates, large plates, beer, wine, cocktails, desserts, and seltzers on the menu. If you're feeling adventurous, they have a small flight of beer. If you want to commit to a beer, there's a variety of choice from very hoppy to fruity. Tonight I paired Blackberry Sunset Fruited Wheat Ale with BBJ Burger. Wheat ale did not taste overwhelmingly sweet and was very smooth. BBJ was one of the best burgers I tasted in a while. Just really good quality beef. It was topped with a generous serving of bourbon apricot bacon jam. I ate every last crumb. It was that good. Highly recommend! Service at Collision Bend is consistently great. Management really seems to care about everyone having a great time. Tonight my order arrived almost instantly, which blew my mind. If you plan to go in the warmer months, prepare for a very lively and busy brewery. Parking is available in the attached lot (prepare to spend around $8-10) or street parking is available if you get lucky! read more

We picked Collusion for a quick drink on the water. Parking was easy with a $5/day lot nearby, and we enjoyed the short stroll along the river, lots to see between the boats, bridges, and little art installations. When we arrived, I hadn't realized this was more of a full, upscale restaurant than a casual "grab a drink and take in the view" spot. We had the kids with us and just wanted to sit outside, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, the service made things a bit uncomfortable. Our plan was simple: Mom & Dad grab drinks, kids could boat watch & color them-(since we had already had donuts and were saving room for pizza later with family.) But our waitress repeatedly tried to encourage my 4-year-old to order herself food (first popcorn, then fries, then dessert), even after I politely declined several times. It left us feeling awkward. The beers themselves were fine, I rated the IPAs 2/5stars) and the view was lovely, but the overall vibe just didn't fit what we were looking for. We ended up drinking quickly and heading out. read more

Fun atmosphere for a nice, summer day. We were able to sit outside at the patio bar and saw some people arrive via boat! The bartender was super attentive and friendly. We only had a quick drink (stick with the beer), Ales for ALS was good. We saw several people with Aperol Spritzes (didn't have a chance to try), but maybe another time when we get a chance to spend more time here. Fun times with a younger crowd compared to other bars in Cleveland. read more

Stopped here for lunch on Saturday, had an awesome meal. The menu has regular bar food like burgers, pizza, etc., but also a lot of different choices that you don't see at a lot of places. Everything we had was delicious. I have a problem with a lot of restaurants over salting their food and that was not the case here. The food was all seasoned perfectly. The roasted chic pea salad was one of the best salads I've ever had. The toasted boomer grilled cheese was excellent. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes available. Awesome drink menu I want to go back for and enjoy some drinks with their delicious food. No negatives here at all. Service was great too; loved it all will be back! read more

what a great place on the river to grab a bite to eat. the outside patio sits right on the river but if it's colder you can sit inside and still look out. I got a hot chicken sandwich with a blue cheese dipping sauce. The panko chicken breast had a great crusts on it and the sauce was good and not too hot. it made it even better when you dipped it in the blue cheese dipping sauce they gave you. fries they came with were homemade and tasted good. kind of like five guys. you can also grab one up there in House made beers which everyone I tried was good. read more

In every description we read of this restaurant it always noted that the facility could seat 200 people. Well, I'm not too sure how. I was in a party of 5 who,yes, came without a reservation around 2 on a busy Saturday afternoon which is not uncommon in the Flats. We gave our name and number with a proposed time of an hour wait. Ok. We wanted to walk around the area so it worked for us. Came back around an hour later and let the host know our whole party was there and ordered a drink at the bar. He stated great that we were next on the list. Through out the next 30 minutes we witnessed other groups of similar size being seated and we checked in with the host who finally confessed that reservations were always taken first ahead of walk ins. Well,to me at this point we were a reservation. We invested almost two hours in your restaurant and to be over looked in such a manor when we were "next on the list" was not professional. We left and enjoyed a late lunch At another restaurant that was very welcoming, friendly and tasty. read more

A friend and I decided to meet up downtown Cleveland to eat at a restaurant near the lake. Upon entrance we were happy to see that the place wasn't packed and the waitress proceeded to take us to outdoor seating. We sat outside for a good 15 minutes until we realized that this outside seating wasn't what we had in mind because of the "new bugs" that are now flying everywhere close to the lake. This is no fault of the restaurant however we proceeded back indoors to finish off our drinks and reviewing the menu. Once inside we asked the waiter about a few items on the menu. The waiter (I forget his name) was very brief with us and didn't really seem too interested in helping us. We overlooked it and ordered anyways. I ordered the French fries 420 style and they were just ok to me. I would go back and order something else and hopefully get a better waiter next time. read more

My friend and I decided we wanted to sit by the water and went to the flats. I took a look at the menu and we decided on Collision Bend. She goes to the one in Euclid, this was my first time at either one. We went around lunchtime, it was surprisingly kind of empty, but maybe we beat the rush. It didn't matter we liked that it was crowded or loud. We tried the patio first and although I love eating outside, those lantern bugs drove us back inside, they were EVERYWHERE! We come in and sit in the enclosed veranda area, so we could still see the water, but were insulated from the bugs. We did have a few birds visiting though, lol. We started with a refreshing drink that I can't remember the name of but it had tequila in it and it reminded me of a mojito. Then I ended with one that had basil and cucumber and was more like a martini. We both got the 420 style fries. I replaced the cheese sauce with real cheese blend and also ordered a side salad with the balsamic reduction (the soy ginger tasted like straight soy sauce ). Our server was not super friendly, but wasn't unpleasant. We joked that after we pointed it out to each other, he must've heard us because he seem to pick up the attentiveness and revisited us more (it was close to tip time). Although I enjoyed my fries, I'm not sure if I'd return to eat in. If I'm downtown and in the mood, I may order takeout. read more

We tried Collision Bend at the recommendation of a native Clevelander. He was so right, This place was terrific. We had a late lunch on the veranda. The setting was absolutely lovely. We tried two apps Sauerkraut Balls - good, but not enough kraut , and the Everything Pretzel that was absolute perfection. One of our group said it was the best pretzel he's ever had. I'd have to say I agree and I have had more than my share of pretzels over the years. For our meals? We had three smash burgers, one Mellow Mushroom Pizza, and a B.B.J. Burger. All good choices. Our server was fun and our food came out quickly. I appreciate that they let us eat the apps before they brought the food. Would definitely recommend this spot. read more

This bar was a little strange to me. Walked in on a Thursday afternoon at about 5pm to get a drink and food. I was initially impressed as it was huge place. They had vending machines on one side of the bar area and then a long bar with industrial like design. My friend and I sat down and waited. Now, I see this alot. Customer service isn't like it used to be. But I had to get someone's attention to come help us. There were maybe 7 people in the entire restaurant. The people were nice, but the service just wasn't there. The music they played was strange as well. They played like zen music that you would listen to when you're doing yoga. It just threw the vibe off for me. The food was okay. A little pricey. I ordered a personal pizza and a beer. At one point random bag pipers and a parade of Scottish people flooded through the restaurant. Everything about this place was just a little off. I was visiting but I would not recommend this place to anyone read more

The beer was delicious, the view was stunning, and the food was some of the best I've ever had! It's nice that the location is still in the flats but doesn't feel overwhelming or too busy. The waitress was super helpful with recommendations as we had never been there before. We would definitely go back and recommend to anyone looking for new breweries to try! read more

Ambience: good location by the water. The restaurant is big and perfect for big groups. Service: pretty good. We had a big group but the restaurant was pretty empty on a Tuesday eve. The servant was nice & food came out pretty fast. Food: overall the food was good for a brewery. We ordered bunch of appetizers & each person got their own dinner. - pretzels: really good with the cheese deep - nachos: they were ok, not enough goodies on the chips - Fries 420: didn't try it but others seemed to like it - Sausage platter: I didn't get to try it but the cheese and pickled grapes were fine. - Braised beef: I enjoyed my meal. The meat was soft & tender with great flavor. Also enjoyed the mashed potatoes & brussel sprouts. - the Mac & cheese with pork looked really good. read more

Get the Brussels sprouts. Even if you think you don't like them, you will. We each got a flight of beers and between the 8 we tried, there was only one we didn't love. The service was a little slow but in fairness, it was Sunday brunch and he had a few big tables. I've been here several times and it's usually great. I also love being able to sit by the water when the weather is nice and they have parking next door. read more

Searching for food after spending the afternoon at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame led us to Collision Bend Brewing Company where we got to sit on the enclosed patio with a great view of the river. I wanted something a bit healthier to eat, so I went with the vegetable poke bowl at our server's recommendation. Nate ordered a flight of beer and the sheet tray nachos. They offer mocktails, cocktails, a full bar, beer, and wine, so there's something for everyone. For me, the food was just ok. Nate was really hungry and he liked the nachos, but I wanted more cheese sauce and the blackened chicken had a warming spice that I didn't love, probably cinnamon. The vegetable poke bowl had lots of fresh veggies and a bit of crunch from corn nuts, but there was a lot of the soy sauce-based dressing which was a bit too salty for me. Overall I liked the atmosphere and great view, but I'd probably try something else if I were to come back. read more

Food was phenomenal. Ambiance and view from the back patio were perfect. A great place to go in the summer! My husband's Walleye PoBoy was our favorite large plate (I forgot to get a picture). The Blackened shrimp tacos were also great but there were only 2 and they did not come with any side, so not perfect for an entree. The fiesta shishitos as an app were phenomenal. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm visiting from San Diego and was excited to check out the beer scene in Cleveland. Collision is situated in an area called the Flats which is smack dab on the water. It had great Yelp reviews, so my daughter and I gave it a whirl. We brought her dog so waiting for the patio is a must. Next time I visit, I'll make a reservation because sitting on the patio was so worth it. Even without a res, we barely waited 1/2 hour. The Beer: I'm an I'm an IPA guy and the Big Cat did not disappoint. The food: sauerkraut balls is all I'm saying. Just for the name but they're delish as was the chicken sandy. The view: Worth the wait. read more

Collision Bend has been a favorite of ours because of the food and location. On this occasion we stopped in for a before heading to the Guardians game. Upon arrival we asked to be seated on the patio, which is right on the river. It is a great spot to see all the boats coming in and going to Lake Erie. The patio also has a spectacular view of the near west side. We were told we could not move inside if it gets too hot on the patio, despite plenty of indoor seating. We ended up waiting over 10 minutes to be acknowledged and for glasses of water. We waited another 10 mins to put in a drink and food order. The drinks came to the table right before the food. We waited a very long time to cash out. We noticed other tables having the same issue. They appeared to be grossly understaffed and the staff that was there seemed uninterested in serving. The food was ok. The walleye sandwich was enough for two people and well cooked. The vegan poke bowl had good flavor and was a solid vegan option. We allowed ourselves plenty of time for dinner, but we were late to the game. Overall it was a disappointing visit to Collision Bend. I gave this visit three stars because we did enjoy sitting by the river. read more

The service, the beer (try the Lake Erie Sunset) and the food is amazing. We shared the Sauerkraut Balls and Mellow Mushroom pizza. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked really good.

I went in during late lunch on a Monday. Ordered the french onion soup and nachos. They were out of burgers that day Both were very good!!

The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about their beers, always happy to recommend new brews or explain the flavor profiles. It's clear that they take pride in what they do. If you're not sure where to start, you can even opt for a tasting flight to explore a variety of their offerings. Their Appetizers are delicious. Whether you're here for a quick bite or planning to settle in for a full meal, the appetizers are a great way to kick off your visit. Highly recommend! read more

Awful service -- unbelievably rude staff. HUGE BUG IN BEER This place was a huge disappointment. From the second we walked in, the service was absolutely terrible. The hostess at the front desk was unbelievably rude. We asked if we could sit outside, and she snapped that it would be in direct sunlight. When we politely asked if we could just take a quick look, she rolled her eyes, laughed at us, and acted like it was the biggest inconvenience in the world. She eventually showed us, but only after making it clear how annoyed she was. Then once we were seated, we asked our server for a high chair -- and she did the exact same thing. Laughed, rolled her eyes, and gave us a nasty "sure" like we were bothering her just for asking. It was actually shocking how rude both of them were. I don't know either of their names, but both the hostess and the server who helped us should be fired. They made the entire experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. We won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who expects even basic respect from restaurant staff. When she brought me the beer flight in order there was a huge bug in it. Maybe we just came in a bad day but I would not recommend this place to dine in. Just order to go. read more

Solid brewery / great location if the weather is nice! As an out of towner, I loved that it was an easy walk from the Marriott and had beautiful views of the water. Beautiful layout, solid beer pour, and the tomato soup was perfect for the rainy day.

It's awesome to see how many breweries there are in Ohio, glad I had the chance to pop in this one! read more
