    Entrance

    None of us had been here before so this was new to all of us. We were seated in a room with TVs around us. We didn't need them but I am sure for people who enjoy sports that would be a bonus. So much to choose from, and they do have daily specials. We ordered: patty melt with onion rings 3.5 stars Haddock sandwich with fries 3.5 stars Crispy chicken sandwich with sautéed onions and mushrooms. 3.5 stars Patty Melt very greasy and fish sandwich was boring. More bread than anything. Waitress was great, kept drinks filled. Consensus is we don't need to eat here again.

    Stopped in here with a buddy on a guys weekend trip to see the pro football hall of fame and a Cleveland browns football game. Place was pretty spacious with cool Decor. In the lobby Entrance area they have a giant lizard so that's pretty cool. Menu was pretty standard for a sports bar. Prices were really good. They had a 1lb t bone with two sides and breadsticks special for 12.99. Me and my buddy was all over that. Food came super fast and we received pretty good service as well. My buddy for two ipa and the waitress helped him choose some local favorites. The steak was pretty good. Very juicy and flavorful on the edges but mildly tough in the center. But overall pretty good. My sides were baked beans and wild rice. Baked beans were tasty and the wild rice had some solid flavor as well. All in all cool place. Good we checked It out. Did the trick for a fun atmosphere with good food and good prices.

    I've been here several times and each time is better than the last. This might be my favorite place to come with my kids. Their kids menu is awesome and has something for every eater. Their menu has pizzas, salads, sandwiches, wraps, entrees, and awesome appetizers. If you can't find something to eat here, you've got bigger issues lol. My favorite thing about this place is their Freestyle machine. I can get MelloYello Zero Be sure to grab some popcorn and ask to sit by the lizard!

    We like the wings. Other items at ok--just like every other place we can go. Not beer drinkers so only go there when we feel like wings.

    Celebrated Mother's Day and a birthday by signing up for City Brew Tours Cleveland. I knew I'd…read moreenjoy it, simply based on the company and the fact we'd be trying all kinds of different beers, but I underestimated just how educationally stimulating the experience would also be. Our Beer Guide was Christian, and he couldn't have been better! At each stop, we took a tour of their facility and learned about different phases of the beer brewing process. I had very little knowledge about the process going in, but by the end of it, I had a whole new appreciation for one of my favorite beverages. We stopped at Market Garden Brewery, Goldhorn Brewery, Collision Bend, and Brick & Barrel, and each stop educated us a little bit about the selected beers they offered, what they pair well with, etc. All told, we tried 13 different beers, and had some food pairings specifically at Collision Bend. In the end, it was well worth the money, the day was enjoyed by everyone involved, and I can't stress just how great Christian was at making the experience a memorable one. I can't wait to try another one of their tours in the near future! FWIW: if you enjoy IPAs, the Dead Man's Curve IPA from Goldhorn Brewery is fantastic!

    We enjoyed this beer tour. We visited three local craft breweries. They were Gold Horn Brewery,…read moreBook House Brewery and Brick and Barrel. We sampled 13 beers on our tour. We also had soft pretzels at Gold Horn Brewery. Roger, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about beer and the brewing process. He was friendly and welcomed any and all questions. Our tour was full with 14 people and everyone lived in the Cleveland area. The tour van was very comfortable and we arrived at all of our destinations quickly. Our tour lasted approximately 3 1/2 hours. It was interesting talking with people and discussing the different beer options. For those interested in more than tasting, there was an in depth talk regarding the brewing process. We were required to wear closed toed shoes and we visited two of the brewery's brewing areas. I was a little disappointed at our stop at Brick and Barrel. It appeared that they were not expecting us and we could only find outdoor seating. It was chilly. Fortunately we were not there too long. We ended the tour where we started at the Double Tree downtown. We had good beer and good conversation. It was a nice evening.

The vibe is lively and fun! We ordered several tasters at the table $1.50 each. Just so we could figure out what we may want to take home Food..... wow ... I saw 3 orders of cheesesteak walk by so that's what I got. Cohort got wings. Wings were smoked fall off the bone deliciousness. Plus they are the full wing! My sandwich.... Almost Philly worthy ( I've had authentic Phillies) However I loved it!! Couldn't eat it all. We have food to take home yay!! I'm sad Columbus doesn't have a location. I know we have BrewDog but I feel this is a step Up. Guess we'll be make more Cleveland trips Wink wink

    We came in on a Thursday night as a large family, as we were all in town for a family event…read more.. there were about 20 of us. Their seating rules weren't very clear as we talked to a few different people and seemed to get a slightly different story each time. It wasn't a very big deal though, we hung out in the bar area for about an hour and then got a couple of tables hear each other where we all sat. The menu is really nice, loaded with so many appetizing things! I wanted to start with a side salad and ordered that, but unfortunately it never came. I did get their spicy French dip, which was a special and it was decent. The onion rings were amazing, so were their baked beans. Service was decent for a group our size. Overall, it was a decent visit.
