Yuletide is upon us, and a scotch ale with spice has got me extra nice. This brewery is one where every drink is a sink in the deliciousness department. It truly is surprising when the styles of beer are less than my usual desirables, but they turn out to be crushables. Even the richer drinks felt like I could handle a pitcher. The lighter ones, shone brighter than suns. Each sip made my mouth drip with the anticipation of more gustatory pleasure. Then the location, a Euro theme, it mixes well with the Cask high beam. Soon...very soon the beer will flow with the near perfection of its created intention. Did I forget to mention something that rhymes with gustatory? Well it's a long story. Let's meet at the Royal Docks, and I promise to royally knock your socks off with the tale. Cheers and thank you for your craft! read more

Great beer selection! Awesome facility with ample spacious seating areas. Attentive, helpful staff. We didn't fall in love with act of the beers though and the nacho we had wasn't good. The nacho had a chili sauce and was very wet/runny making the chips soggy. The beer cheese had good flavor but was very clumpy. The protein (beef brisket) was okay flavored but a bit fatty. Overall we'd probably give it another try sometime, the other food looked and sounded good and the place had a cool, fun vibe. read more

Oh, how fabulous! I had been meaning to come here for awhile. It was a quiet night and we arrived late and sat outside. The kids had ice cream and we had some stuffed jalapeños. We had just eaten dinner, so we weren't starved. Also had two old fashioned, which were above average, but not the best I've ever tried. I like the quick and efficient service and ordering system at the counter. Can't wait to come back and actually try some of the beers here! read more

First stop of our beer bus trip. This place is warm and inviting. Staff opened a couple hours early for our group. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Great craft small batch beers. My faves were the Curiosity IPA. Crisp but not too bitter and the Staycation Sunset. They have a lot of tasty brews and always some seasonal specials. The decor is eclectic. I love the "Loo" bathroom sign and the phone booth. Several locations for this brewery. Try them out. read more

we were excited that there was supposed to be a new menu but it's not anywheee as creative or flavorful as the old one. No Scotch Egg!?!?! what the actual F? I get that you went to pizza over flatbreads, but how do you get rid of THE signature item? mistake. read more

A microbrew in the heart of Jackson Township and a great stop for quality beer!! The beer brings back memories from my time living in Europe and I guarantee that you won't find better anywhere else locally. In addition to the amazing beer, they have a decent selection of appetizers and flat breads if you are hungry. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about beers and the process. One thing that annoys me when going into a craft beer bar is the staff not knowing about the intricacies of the different selections. But that was not the case here, they explained in detail the different brews. They also have a pretty nice patio out front so you can enjoy your beer and food outside. I highly recommend them and would give 6 stars if Yelp allowed. read more

Royal Docks is a successful brewery. It's located in Jackson Township close to Canton. They have so many beers on tap. All of these are good. They also have a small food menu. All the beer that I've tried is good. It has a variety of styles. They have some very hoppy and some are sweet. A sweet one is the Crime Of Passionfruit. It's about $5 for a pint. This is kind of like mixing beer and juice, it's too sweet. As for the food, it's not bad. The food is an afterthought, it seems. It just takes so long to order anything. They will take forever to make it, so only order if you have plenty of time. Beer is the important thing here. It's good. Just get that. read more

Royal Docks Brewing - Crime Of Passionfruit - Breweries Near Me - Canton, Ohio

We were referred by the owner of Lost Trail Winery about this place. We haven't been to a brewery in the area previously. We stopped here and another brewery on this day. Stopped and selected 6 beers to sample. Each of the beers were refreshing and good. I was happy to have the opportunity to try the beer. I took a 4 pack of the west coast IPA home. They had another beer that tasted so darn good called the Savoir Faire which was so damn good. It had raspberry and blackberry sweetness with chocolaty malt. Unbelievable but wasn't available to take home. I highly recommend checking this place if you are near the brewery. read more

I loved Royal Docks! Service was excellent. I really enjoyed all the beers. The Vlad and the Woodruff were standouts. You can get beers on cask if that's your thing. I actually really dug the atmosphere (the music specifically). I ordered a Thai Peanut flatbread and crushed it all. I will definitely be back when I am in town again. read more

Royal Docks Brewing - Black Christmas. If you know their beers this is a combo of the Vlad and the Yuletide. Very good - Breweries Near Me - Canton, Ohio

I have rediscovered royal docks in the last couple months and have been there a few times. They recently updated their menu and happy hour. All around fair prices and great food. I still view this more of a social brew pub and that is perfect since we don't have anything like that in the north canton area The only thing I would change is he weather so you can enjoy their patio all the time!!! read more

This might be the best of the brew houses trending right now. The food is consistently great- tastes fresh, and everything I've tried has bold flavor. The flatbreads are great, my favorite is still the scotch egg. Salads and soup have all made me happy. The chicken and waffles, while not the best I've ever had, was a huge portion- chicken was crunchy outside and waffles were crisp and fluffy outside on the inside. The only dish I don't understand is the jalapeño poppers- the peppers were raw, making them tongue burningly uncomfortable. The beers are amazing. Go for Yuletide alone. The spicy notes hit your nose first, and the taste puts any other Christmas ale to shame. (Drink while cold though, not good if allowed to go warm). The other standout is the Deathly Mallows, dark, chocolaty, with toasted marshmallow top notes. Baba Yaga is the other regular favorite. These beers are really the only brand I've tried where I can taste all of the notes listed in the description, a taste explosion versus a sweet, muddled, bud light flavor. Service- even though you technically order at the counter, they have amazing staff who check on you and bring your items to the table. read more

This was a disappointing visit. :( I have been dying to visit royal docks for months now and we made it our final stop on a trip to Akron/canton from Columbus. We weren't greeted and waited quite a while at 2 of the only 6ish bar stool seats to be noticed. People kept coming up right next to me to get served and finally a guy asked if we were doing ok. No.. we'd like beer or a hi or anything. Got a flight of 4 and were disappointed. Of the 3 breweries we visited today this is the least desirable and it was supposed to be the grand finale. Bummer :( read more

We love this place! Their flatbreads are delicious as is their selection of beer. I tried the French onion soup tonight which was very good but the buffalo loaded fries were HOT. It mentioned ghost pepper cheese but these verged on inedible which was a bummer. I would stay away from those and try the pretzel or tots app. Staff is super friendly and attentive and it's a very clean, nice place. read more

Ok, this place was great. We got there early and were able to grab a table for 12. The waiter and waitresses were friendly and helpful. They had good food and delicious beer. I got the cherry gose, loaded fries, and hummus platter. It was all great! I really enjoyed being here and will definitely return. It's a great atmosphere and a fun place to be early in the evening. read more

Am I allowed to say da*n in a review? Cause Royal Docks Brewing done did the da*n thing!! My friend and I were looking for a low key place to have couple of drinks and play some chess. We brought our own board and showed up around 4pm. There was only one other table there, and the friendly staff were all wearing masks. They also had hand sanitizer readily available and all tables were placed a significant distance apart. I also loved that you could place orders and pay on your phone. On top of the great service, both the food and drinks were next level. We ordered two flights and adored every beer. The PAV's blonde stout was unlike anything I'd ever had and stood out as one of the best beers I'd ever consumed. We shared the jalapeño poppers, Loaded Mexican fries and a Dutch egg flatbread. (Pardon the lack of use of actual menu names. I forgot to note them!) Literally every single beer and food item we had was mind blowing. The atmosphere was chill and welcoming. I cannot recommend Royal Docks enough and will certainly be bringing all of my friends here. read more

I've been enjoying their beer up in Cleveland for years and I finally made the pilgrimage down to Canton, Ohio to check out the source. The pub is bright and clean with lots of outdoor dining space and plenty of big screens for the sports fan. I had a flight of cool beers we can't get in the CLE and all of them were great. We were most impressed with the food selection. There was a lot to try but settle on the loaded fries and Thai peanut flatbread. Both were excellent. I see that there are now four locations maybe I'll try them all....until they open up a spot in The Land! read more

5 stars for their craft beer and atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed their Scottish Ale and Porter. Picked up a 6 Pack of their Summer Infused Pilsner, Backyard Crusher, that will be prefect for this Summer. Enjoyed the atmosphere ... They have both inside and outside seating. Also check out my picture of the women's bathroom....clean and I never seen so many tolietries (have almost whatever you could possibly need). 3 starts for the food. It was "okay". The BBQ pork was drenched in generic sauce. The dough for the flatbread was not done enough and with the sloppy BBQ pork poured on top, it made the dough worse. The food wasn't bad, but I wouldn't go there for the food. read more

On a recent trip to Ohio, we decided to go try out Royal Docks. So glad we did! Overall, the restaurant has sort of a British Pub meets American Craft Brewery vibe. There is a small bar, lots of seating, and the door in the front rolls up garage door style out to a patio. I decided to try a flight of beers and also a sample of one more. After my 6th beer, the bartender asked me which one I liked the most. Honestly, I couldn't answer...I liked them all! Every beer I had was really solid. We also had the Scotch Egg Pizza. The portion was perfectly sized to share. The flavor was really good and went perfect with the beer! I loved the beer so much that I grabbed two 6 packs on the way out. I can say that I will be back for sure! read more

My boyfriend and I came here as a part of the summit brew path. We actually came here on our anniversary because they had a lot of food options as well as the beer. It ended up being one of our favorites of the path. It's not a huge restaurant but they have a decent amount of seating. We came in the winter and I got the spiced Christmas ale that was perfect for the weather and even came with a cute garnish on the top. All of the beers that we tried here were great. The food we got was really good too. The wings were crispy and tasty but the star of the show were the Parmesan crusted tater tots with aioli sauce. I don't even like tater tots usually but these were actual crack we devoured them! I really liked this brewery and would love to check out their patio in the summer. read more

Went for a Bach cello performance on a Monday night for some very chill baroque music in a trendy setting. It's not a large brewery, but they do have great food, although I'd like to see more healthy appetizers. I went with the olives because it was the only snack-sized food on the menu that wasn't smothered in cheese or dairy. The olives were very tasty! I appreciated the wine and cider selections as well because I'm not the biggest beer drinker. The bartenders were really nice and helpful and the wait staff cleared tables and were attentive. One thing that slightly annoyed me: this place was FREEZING for the first hour ( from about 6:45-8pm). Their ceiling fans were on full blast and you could see many people with coats on, hair being ruffled by the wind, napkins being blown off the tables. I was moments from speaking to the manager about it (because it wasn't just me...you could see lots of people were uncomfortable), but suddenly the fans stopped, reversed direction, and circulated warm air instead. Thank goodness! After reading the manager's reply on my post, I have a question: I think it's great that you offer dairy-free flatbreads!! But your online menu does not reflect this as an option. Am I missing something? Also, I would not consider fish & chips and crab cakes "healthy". read more

Being a Cleveland girl, it is not often I make my way down to the Canton area unless it's to the airport. However, I had heard many good things about Royal Docks so I had to make the trip. The 45 minute drive was well worth it. While the brewery was pretty busy, my boyfriend and I were able to grab one of the last open tables in the brewpub. We were a little confused on how to order beers/food at first, but luckily one of the super nice employees let us know we could go to the bar to order or simply find any employee walking around with an iPad and they could take our orders as well. As someone in the beer industry, I ordered the flight to try as many of their brews as possible. My favorite was the Crimes of Passionfruit IPA! It was light but still had plenty of hop character. The subtle notes of passionfruit were delicate and not over-powering. Definitely a refreshing summer beer for warm nights! The beer wasn't the only highlight, the food was also just as great. I ordered the Kensington salad with grilled chicken. OMG I must say it was one of the best salads I've had in awhile. No joke. My only regret was not taking a picture of it because it was huge and beautiful. It featured fresh greens with goat cheese, bacon, pecans, green apple, cucumber, with a poppy seed dressing. It was the kind of salad I'm sure I'll have cravings for frequently, it was that good. My boyfriend had the BBQ wrap which he also enjoyed. While I wish Royal Docks was closer to Cleveland, making the trip was well worth it. I'm sure I'll be back soon for the beer as well as the food! read more

Went here for their Grand Opening party on Saturday Night 9/5/2015... Must have been thousands of people in the lot. Simply amazing. Their beer was awesome! Must try the 67 Alaska! I also loved the Saizon. If you're into trying different types of beer, just try all of them. You won't be disappointed! Well worth the drive! The atmosphere was great for the Grand Opening on Labor Day weekend. They had a live band in the closed-off parking lot, which everyone loved. Weather was perfect and the next door market had barbecued food catering. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely can't wait to go back on regular business days and try the delicious sounding food menu items paired with some refreshing beer selections! read more

Been here twice now. They have a nice patio (dog friendly) to sit on and the building has doors that open to the outside! Perfect for a nice or rainy day. I've tried a few of their IPAs and they are all delicious. Got a few of the flat breads and they were very good. The chicken and waffles were amazing. Tasted like the breading was actual waffle batter. Waffles had a jalapeño syrup and it was a little spicy in a good way. You order at the bar and bring the number to your table! Definitely try it out. read more

Another great surprise on the Summit County Brewery passport! We wish we could have stayed for more than one beer. The bartender was really nice and taught us some history of Royal Docks (the owners previously lived in London). This place gets a lot of natural light (and has a patio) so you don't feel cooped up like you do at some other bars. Loved the beer we ordered (London Lager was my favorite). Definitely worth a try! read more

Food is Okay, nothing special. The wing sauce was likely the highlight. Got a cheese pizza and pimento cheese as well. Service was poor. A bit insane to tip prior to receiving any service. Also the people on staff ignored several customers, including my party while trying to order, and/or getting drinks at bar. 3 people staff members stood there as I stood there awkwardly waiting to be acknowledged to order. Food comes out in a nonsensical way. Ambiance is always. No real method for parties to get anything that is needed after food comes out. read more

Great beer selection. I am usually an ipa followed by stout in a flight. The IPAs ( dare and seconds son) were ok. But I was blown away by the Brut Squad IPA. The Vlad BBA was nice. The Baba Yaga was a 5 (coffee porter). Lovibond (blond stout) was nice very much like the "naughty Sauce" noble ales. Food - I had the pretzel and it was as good as any. Crab bites were just bar food, but the horseradish sauce killed it. I had the bbq festival. Impressive and fresh. Service - this was definitely a 5! They new their beers and could describe and recommend properly. You have to order your food at the bar. But, they bring it to your table in less than 5 minutes! Outstanding. read more

Decent selection of appetizers, flatbreads, and craft beer, of course. One must stand in line to order, then food gets delivered to your table. Seating is fairly limited so get there early. If the weather is nice, one can sit outside next to a beautiful outdoor gas fireplace. Overall, I highly recommend unless you're looking for a bigger selection of food choices. The beer is excellent. read more

I live in Columbus and I found out about this place at Beerfest so I wanted to check it out. The restaurant is cool and it has a really nice patio. Beers were good, but I was not at all impressed with the food for the price. I had the quesadilla and my brother had the wings. This is personal preference, but I also don't like that you have to order at the bar. I can't imagine how that's efficient if it gets busy? Would go back but just for the beer! read more
