Really nice venue close to the ballpark. App to order drinks and food is awful, especially if you are from overseas. Luckily, there was an amazing bartender that took our orders instead and completely turned things around. Great selection of beers. Food looked good too, but had filled up at the baseball. Will definitely be back!

Absolute gem in downtown Cleveland. All the food and beer was delicious. Picture is of the pork belly bites, but the chicken wings were out of this world and so were the Brussels sprouts, kimchi balls and sliders. Highly recommend!!

This place was sooo good for relatively simple American cuisine menu. I had been craving a hamburger for a couple weeks and the sliders were so good. Service was so prompt. When wife asked for GF options the server went back and asked. They didn’t have exclusive menu but he put everything on his phone to show her GF options. Look forward to next visit.

We ate here after the Tigers/Guardians’ game on the 4th of July. My husband had the wings, and I ordered the flank steak. He said the wings were pretty good, but they were overpriced. My flank steak was cooked how I ordered it, but the seasoning either on the steak or in the chimichurri sauce had too much salt. It’s a good spot for a drink though. I had a glass of Pinot Noir, and it was reasonably priced. It didn’t arrive until after my husband got his wings though. I feel like they were short-staffed that night.

Bomb dot com. Group of business execs flew into CLE late, dropped bags at hotel, walked up the street in search of cold drinks and hot eats and stumbled onto 4th and into B&B. Glad we did! Food was outstanding. Flank stank was delicious. Excellent sliders. Amazing pretzel with beer cheese. Good beers (pilsner). Solid pizza. We scarfed it all down fast. Food came out rapidly, literally minutes after ordering. Beautiful old school wood fancy bar. Very cool. Would absolutely come back!!

Went here for a conference meet and greet. Cool place with a unique vibe. The food was very good and our servers were the absolute best.

Oder the Flank and Chimichurri!!! It was the tastiest steak we've ever had. We also recommend the tacos (which looked too good so I couldn't take a pic, I just ate it) and the Butcher flatbread. Everything was DELICIOUS. The vibe was on point (besides sitting on the edge of the stairs where it felt like we'd fall) and the service was perfect. Besides the seat, we have 0 complaints.

Yikes. Fantastic interior and great staff - but look at the pics; they burned the last calorie out of those chicken wings! It is this new kitchen fad, where 20-something's in the back are 'trying to invent' a new item. To be 'liked'. You can just imagine the chef at Butcher: he holds the grill top handle in one hand, iPhone with instagram and his burned-to-shit black lump-wings.. eyes popping out sockets, while hoping he'll 'influence' the world! Ha! Dry lumps of coal, burned into the gutter. The wings, were a food fail! Your wings tasted like biting into a lump of coal from a fireplace. Fingers covered in soot! The food was not just black - it was so 10-minutes over-burned, I left all but one on the plate. Inedible. I had cough attacks with ash in my throat! You should've hired me - I'd teach you a few things about grills!! Quit screwin' around with 'rubs' and 'chars' that you can't pull off to save Armageddon. I mean get real! Even a canine wouldn't eat your rock wings. Waste of money, you rummies! Get all new cooks! Review: 2

REALLY cool looking place ! Me & some friends coming back from Ohio's National Park and we hit up this place to eat. The picture of the pretzel got me. I looove pretzels !! But I didn't read that its communal bar food. So we had to get 2 of each orders and split it 4 ways. We got 2 pretzels, which were good but we hated the non cheese sauce that came with it. It was funky tasting. We got 2 orders of the corn dogs, which is half the size of regular corn dog and the batter was bland. I wouldn't get it again. W We got 2 orders of the sliders and those were really good!! Then we got one order of the steak, because it was $32.00 a plate. THAT was the only thing that was AMAZING !! But damn 32.00 bucks !! I went to the restroom down below and it's a beautiful place but I would never come back again. We each got half a pretzel, one slider, 3 tiny pieces of steak, and small corn dog, we didn't get any drinks but water and the bill was expensive for what we got. If it's just two people, kind of perfect but not more than that.

Came in late Friday night for dinner. Had a great experience! We shared the pretzel, slides, patatas, and baked brie. Everything was great, the pretzel and brie were our favorites. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself was spacious and clean. Would reccomend and would come back!

Really good food and drinks! Loved the spicy rigatoni and sliders! The pretzel was good and we enjoyed the corn dogs as well! If you get a beer, the lemon shandy was delicious!

Butcher and the Brewer was a great spot to stop off for some shareable dishes & some delicious cocktails or brews. Located downtown Cleveland by the House of Blues, there is plenty to do in this area after you enjoy your eats & drinks! We opted for a variety of dishes; brussel sprouts, kimchini balls, carrots dressed to the nines, fried chicken wings. All were made to perfection and satisfies our hungry palates. The cocktails were next level delicious. The server was attentive, suggestive, helpful, and down to earth. We really enjoyed this restaurant. Perfect for date night, family dining, groups. You may set a reservation before arriving! Give Butcher & the Brewer a whirl. You will leave satisfied!

Surprisingly not busy on a Wednesday evening. Food was quite good: the pork belly bites were fantastic! The pineapple butter was a perfect foil to the richness of the pork. Such a revelation! The sticky chicken was also good; I had asked for blue cheese dressing on the side to add a bit of creaminess, but it was good otherwise. Skin was crunchy and crispy, with a bit of spice ( hence the dressing request), so buyer, beware! Our server left us a bit wanting for more...hardly checked in on us in spite of it being a bit slow, though he did get excited talking about some of his favorites on the menu. Restrooms are quite cute, all the way to the end downstairs. Would definitely go back again for the food, and would be willing to give "service" another try.

Sometimes a dinner is so good, you need to commemorate it with a souvenir shirt to bring back the memories. I'll proudly wear my Butcher and the Brewer shirt! The food was top notch all around, but standouts were the Octopus (super tender, nice amount of spice) and the Brussels Sprouts (crispy, great sauce, and lots of bacon!). The beer was excellent as well. I had never had a white stout, but was really impressed. Lots of coffee flavor and a bit lighter than a traditional stout. Ok, so maybe a shirt and a 6-pack as souvenirs. One caveat - would not come if planning on deeper conversations. It's just pretty loud inside. In summary, I wish I lived in Cleveland so I could return soon!

The 4th Street area near Cleveland's arena district is well known and is quite the nice little pedestrian street, if you can avoid the scammers and such. Unfortunately areas like this bring unavoidable mediocrity in food and drink options. We did get our food quickly, but having to use an app and provide credit card information and other personal information to is downright rude and irritating. I wouldn't go back just because of that. The wait staff were kind, and there was a lot of football on which was great. The food was rather mediocre, however, akin to Applebees or a similar restaurant but with nicer looking food on the plate. We knew what we were getting into so we didn't really have a problem with the Butcher and Brewer (hoppy weatbiers? What's with this trend), but if you're looking at your options downtown and you are thinking "maybe this one won't be too bad, the pictures look ok and it's got a cool sounding name", I wouldn't just say that this establishment, like many others, is about what you'd expect.

This place is kind of a mess. They make you order off a QR code which means they have less staff working which im sure is good for payroll and bad for your experience. Not sure why the shishito peppers are drenched in some kind of bizarre sauce just salt them and send them out like every normal place. Beer is okay but outdated styles. Brussel sprouts were fine. Seltzer is served in the style of german berliners with the pumped syrup in a plain base. Was probably the best part of the visit.

This was our second time here as we were here the year before but for some reason I did not draft a review. We made reservations which was definitely helpful because if there's a ball game nearby, it's going to be busy! We were seated at one of the tables where you can either get service from wait staff or order through their website. It actually worked out pretty well. We were taking care of just fine even though we did order through the app. We had a good mixture of food and it was thoroughly enjoyable! The beer menu is probably larger than the food menu but that's not really my drink of choice. The hot dogs on a stick we're really good with the dipping sauces as well as the kimchini! Octopus was also stellar as well as the flank steak. Great to share with others! I'll be honest was just very busy but a very large place with tall ceilings and a cool atmosphere. Restrooms were pretty cool as well.

Great location with long bar and lots of tables in the dinning room. BEER selection was decent but the FOOD menu need some work. We had a hard time selecting from a fusion type menu. Our SERVER was very attentive but once he informed us that ordered are placed online the human interface was eliminated and we all lost interest in the restaurant. Got another round of beers using the phone app, paid our bill and went across the street.

The business model for B-and-the-B is based on fun, and we certainly had fun experiencing what may be the evolving future of the 21st century brew pub scene. The lively venue was abuzz with people, well, getting buzzed. B-and-the-B sports a very extensive beer and cocktails menu, as well as an interesting and surprisingly delicious rundown of tapas-style small shareable plates of food. Most of the food items were in ther $10 or $15 range, making it all too tempting to order several shareable ones for a table. We scanned a credit card on arrival, and then were able to watch - and manage - our tab on our phones. A lot of food and drink, speedily arrived and with minimal involvement by the just-attentive enough wait-staff. Make no mistake. This is not gormet dining. Some of the dishes shared blackening ingredients coming out of the kitchen. Making them just spicy enough and just tasty enough, but somewhat similar to one another. You're here for the suds and the atmosphere, and the fun of the ordering process, more than for the gourmet dining. We made reservations, which even on a weeknight in the summer seemed wise. Two nights later we tried to return without a reservation and could not get near the place. B-and-the-B is popular, deservedly so. Oh and parking - fuhgetta about it! Arrive on foot and be happy you have no need for a designated driver!

The interior of this place is crazy. The hand carved wooden staircase is immaculate. I think it used to be a department store back in the day. I like the bathroom set up. It's just got a big trough sink and separate bathrooms. Although, the bathroom smell like a load of wet towels you forgot in your washer and went on vacation. Mixed with a little, well they just need to clean it a little better. Anytime I've ever eaten here, I was never too impressed. I guess the pretzels are right, but how can you mess up a pretzel? Their beers are subpar in my opinion as well. I know it sounds like a lot of negativity, I still come here because I like the vibe so much. So that's gotta count for something. Cool to stop in before baseball games.

The Food is excellent! Came in to get out of the rain and everything we tried was a hit. There was plenty of seating. All the food came out really fast and service was great. Here were my top 3 favorite dishes: - Kimchini- came with about 6-7 balls and great for sharing. This and the tacos came out the fastest, - Crispy chicken-comes with 3 and cooked to crispy perfection! It's tossed on a savory sweet sauce. - Ricotta and focaccia- tasty, with some sweetness. I'll def get this again! We also got the tacos, burger sliders, and bone marrow.

Stopped by The Butcher and The Brewer, yesterday, during their 10th Anniversary Party. I'm working on my Cleveland Brewery Passport and needed to check in, this was the perfect time. The Sticky Fried Chicken was so good. The skin was perfectly crispy, yet the meat was still moist. I enjoy honey on my food. This dish was sweet and sticky but not too sweet. I'd definitely order again. Not pictured was my Midnight Oil Stout.

Affordable but good quality food? Sign me up! I've been here a couple times, once before a basketball game with a group of friends and once for a date night. I love their small plates, almost like elevated bar food. Their drinks are simple and affordable. Ordering is easy because you can do it on your phone using the QR code. Food also comes out pretty quickly which is nice. Dishes I've tried include the pretzel, kimchini, panzanella salad, meatballs puttanesca, and sliders. All were delicious. Favorite has to be the kimchini (like a arancia married kimchi) and the meatballs. The only downside is they don't take reservations so lines can be long. It's also not completely clear how the waitlist works since they don't seem to take your number and instead shout your name out in the busy crowd. However, definitely still worth a visit.

Butcher and the Brewer is a must-visit gem in Cleveland's bustling East 4th Street. With its inviting communal atmosphere, craft brews, and inventive shared plates, it perfectly blends social dining with elevated pub fare. The in-house charcuterie and expertly brewed beers stand out, making every visit feel like a celebration of local flavors and craftsmanship. Whether you're sampling small plates or enjoying a night out with friends, the experience is vibrant, flavorful, and unforgettable.

This was a fun, communal-style restaurant with in-house brewed beer and delicious bites. They had some great vegan options as well like the brussel sprouts and fried potatoes. The service was good but I knocked off a star because they make you order yourself via an app (which makes it impossible to make customizations or ask questions) and then force a 20% gratuity. I believe in tipping based on service and half of the service was completed by me. Still a nice place though!

Staying in Cleveland and decided to try this restaurant. Food, drinks and service were excellent. My husband and I ordered three plates to share. The crispy Brussel sprouts, fish & chips, and sticky fried chicken. I had the Mezcalita and my husband sampled the beer. I would definitely go back and eat or drink here again!

Brought my mom to the Butcher and the Brewer before a Cavs game. We had a reservation and were seated upon entry at the end of a long high-top table. There weren't many smaller tables for a party of two, but I didn't mind that they sat us at a table with other people (there was 1 seat in between us and another couple). We were instructed to scan a QR code to view the menu, order online, and pay the bill. A server came by to give us water and ask if we had any questions about the menu. The menu is exclusively small, shareable plates. No big entrees and everything comes out as you order and it is ready. We started with the Hop Fashioned Cocktail, an order of the meatballs puttanesca, and the josper-fired brussel sprouts. The meatballs were amazing. A mix of beef and pork in an Italian tomato sauce that had garlic, capers, and some other ingredients I enjoyed. They were soft and tasty. The brussel sprouts weren't my favorite. They were oven-roasted but not crispy at all. The green goddess sauce that came on the side was a saving grace, but that's probably because I always love green goddess sauce. Next, we ordered the flank steak with chimichurri and marinated roasted mushrooms. The restaurant got busy with many patrons stopping in for a meal before the Cavs game, so this round of food took a while before it came out. After about a 25-minute wait, the mushrooms came out, They were pretty good. I especially loved the romesco sauce and the dish was a nice size. Finally, we got the flank steak. At medium temp, the steak was cooked perfectly. The chimichurri and oil on the plate were a really fun side dish/dip for the steak and we were full by the end of the meal. The space is super cool with an upbeat vibe. There was good music playing and the servers helped one another out by checking in with us even if we weren't at their table. Overall, I enjoyed my time. Great cocktails, and ambiance. I love the shared plates and would love to go back to try more. One note, salt. Almost all of our dishes lacked finishing salt, which definitely would have gone a long way!

Came here before a Guardians game and it was a great atmosphere! Despite being busy, we were still able to be seated immediately and get our food and drink in a reasonable amount of time. The brewery is large, with a lot of open space and big wooden tables. They have 2 table structures in which you can have a waiter or order through the QR code app. We chose a table with a waiter since the tables were not high tops and more separate from the crowd. The beer menu is pretty good with a nice smaller selection of options for everyone's taste and clever names. I ordered the Any Other Name fruit beer and liked it. It had raspberry puree within the beer that gave it a tart and slightly sweet flavor. They don't really have food here, which I found surprising given the name of the place, but they do have small shared plates. We ordered the warm pretzel and it was absolutely delicious. It was warm, flavorful, not over salted, and the dipping sauces were incredible. The dips were pimento cheese and garlic caramel sauce, both very different and delicious flavors I haven't had before with bar pretzels. We also ordered the beef sliders, which were just typical small hamburgers with lettuce and American cheese. Nothing special about them and they didn't have a whole lot of flavor. Overall the food is definitely overpriced for the portions you get. Don't expect anything less than $12, but some items do have a great quality and taste. The beer is definitely what you come for and the location is perfect if you're walking to the game!

Went to this spot as it was close to our airbnb and it looked cool. The service was pretty good but the food wasn't. Everything was too salty. Would not go back.

This place is out of its mind. First off, I'm not broke by any means, but it's absolutely absurd to be served Coke in a can in a restaurant, and albeit at $2.75/can. When I inquired to the manager about it after we finished our meal, his response was "it's fresher from the can." I also ordered the ribeye, which I will honestly say that it had no flavor whatsoever, with the exception of salt. For the $32 price, I could've went to Longhorn and got a bigger, better steak AND a Coke with refills. To top it off, why would you request leaving a tip when I have to use your QR code to browse your menu, and place my own order using my phone?? The best thing we ate was the soft pretzel. Quite honestly, their concept of dining doesn't mesh with what I had in mind and hoped would be a better experience. It's overpriced and very underwhelming. Safe to say that this was the first and last time we'll come here.

Food here is absolutely fantastic. It's more of a "tapas-style" brewery restaurant, but it's hard to be mad at it when the food is so good. Definitely looking forward to coming back! Accessibility: -Restrooms appear to be down a flight of stairs. I saw an elevator, but I'm unsure if it's a customer-facing elevator or a service elevator you'd need to ask about. -Ordering is done from an online website from a QR code when you sit down. No need to talk to a waiter if that's not possible. -You do NOT have to download any app to do this ordering. It's from an online website. (Thank god. I'm tired of "forced" app downloads just to go to a restaurant in-person.) -There's still "table service", but it's to refresh your water and check in. All of this can be done via the online service platform where they even have a "ask for more water" and "ask for server to come over" option. -Variety of seating including a few booths and high top tables. The majority of tables are low top tables and chairs with no arms. The chairs look sturdy and made from thick wood. -Food is served as it comes out the oven, with a "tapas"-style vibe (communal food). Food will appear on your table at various times, and it's totally normal to get half-way through food here and order even more. Get what you want, when you want, without disturbing anyone else at dinner. PROS: -Despite ordering from an online website, our "server" was fantastic, super friendly, and explained everything about the place here. We got into a few great conversations with him over our dinner when he'd quickly pop over. -All of our food was fantastic. The pretzel was really tasty, and we LOVED the Corn Dogs. (Everyone seems to). The burgers were really fantastic too, and larger than sliders (but smaller than full burgers). -The "Garlic Caramel" sauce for the pretzel was weird. I had a few bites, and it was a flavor experience. It was not the sauce for me (i stuck with the beer cheese, which was impeccable!), BUT I'm glad they experimented and tried something new. It's rare that I see a new flavor (besides "fancy mustard") presented with a pretzel at a brewery, and that's what I almost always get at any brewery! -Our server cleaned the table of empty plates regularly; I see that was a common complaint earlier, but we didn't have any issues with it. -Good beer selection with the ability to hem and haw over what you want while staring at your phone (instead of holding up the bartender). Would have loved more detail about the various beers in the ordering website, but we could reference their full website to figure out more. -Downstairs bathrooms are single-room bathrooms separated by gender, but all facing a single open room with a gigantic sink. Choose your own bathroom gender with a full "room" to yourself once you do. CONS: -The mini Corn Dogs are SO GOOD. But that's why it's so sad there are only three of them. The portion size on that felt noticeably smaller than many of the other options we ordered.

Stopped in for a couple of beers. Nice place. Had two really good bees the Repeater a smooth lager and a Hasselhefe a really good tasting Hefeweizen. Nice and cold and very refreshing. I had a couple of sliders they were very good, cooked to the right temp. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer selection. Nice place to kick back and have some craft beers.

This place has a good patio set up for dining with your dog. Lovely vibe and fun evening. The food was good and some things were outstanding -- like the broccolini and the puchanesca meatballs. The brusse sprouts were just ok as were the corndogs. Get the lemon shandy -- whoever came up with the lemonade beer idea... brilliant. Love that they have small glasses of beer so you can try lots of kinds... and they do t make the flight for you.

My wife and I came here a few years ago and I remember liking it. BUT- we came here before heading to the theater this past weekend with another couple and loved it! The restaurant itself is pretty cool. You can see where they brew. Interestingly enough, the bathrooms are worth checking out. They're downstairs. The menu is all electronic. You open a tab and order whenever you want. They primarily serve small plates, but have some main courses as well. We ordered 6 small plates and loved every one. Two in our group loved the pork belly. I think I liked the pretzel the most- which is a weird thing to say. It came with a garlic-flavored caramel sauce. It sounds weird, but it was strangely really good. The beers we had were also great. I had a grapefruit beer, my wife had a shandy, and the other couple both had the albino stout. I tried it as well and it was full of great flavor. We loved our beers too. As a tip, we did valet parking for $35. Parking in the area on the night of a baseball game can be really expensive. This helped us to get in and out and onto our play easily. If you're looking for a relaxed place to chill and eat, definitely try this place out. It'll be even more fun to try with friends in order to taste a few of their wonderful small plates.

Ridiculous concept. They have waiters to bring food and drinks but you have to order the food on an app. I could see having the menu on an app, but why make your customers go thru the inconvenience of inputting their orders and often any adjustments to the order when you already have waiters? I don't go out to eat to have to do the work of the restaurant employees. The food was fairy good, but small plates, over-priced

Place is unique. Scanning a QR code to place an order and also pay out is wild. Definitely something I'm sure I'll one day see back home in Massachusetts. My French onion dip was yummy. Although I prefer all my ingredients in a bowl with delicious broth but I liked it. Certainly an experience, I'm quite happy with my decision to come.

Been in CLE for a few days. Butcher and the Brewer was our first stop on 4th Street, which is booming with other restaurants. I was told this place was "the spot." We grabbed a table here and unfortunately, it was a high top. The seats were really uncomfortable so we asked for another table. This place has communal tables, we didn't mind, but it's something to consider if you are trying to dine there when it's busy. The hostess sat us and we were told to use the QR code, which led to an app where you could place your order and open a tab. Awesome!!! We reviewed the menu. I chose one of the beers on tap as did my friend. For food, we had the smoked wings, patatas bravas, aged sliders and the panzanella salad. We were excited to try all of our choices. First to arrive were the wings and sliders. Interestingly enough, my friend asked for ketchup and the waiter seemed very surprised by the request. He told my friend he would see what he could do bc the restaurant didn't have ketchup. Needless to say, I told my friend to try the burgers without the ketchup. I started on the wings. They were delicious. The dry rub and smokey flavor went together perfectly. There was a nice crisp to the wings too. My only issue was the wings only came with blue cheese and I am not a fan of blue cheese. I must admit, the wings didn't even need any dressing. Next up were the patatas bravas. I'm used to spicy patatas bravas, but these weren't spicy at all. They still were packed with flavor and had a nice crisp on them as well. Last, the panzanella salad. Now, this was the ultimate surprise bc by the looks of the salad, you'd think it was an interesting experiment. Since it has zucchini, arugula, toasted bread, squash, parmesan cheese and vinaigrette. However, this salad was really good! I almost ate the entire salad by myself. The vinaigrette had just the right amount sweet and tang to accentuate the vegetables. I really enjoyed the salad. Overall, I will say this place is a go if you are visiting or looking for options in the downtown CLE area.

I think I may have previously ranted about all the benefits of the small plate culinary experience (vs. the one plate entree) in in a previous review, but let me restate: Why have one great meal when I can have five? So therefore I visited the Butcher and the Brewer, an "Industrial-chic brewpub serving a menu of carefully sourced American fare & housemade beers." One damn delicious small plate after another: Kimchini Rice Balls in Wasabi Aioli, Grilled Octopus, Charred Broccolini and Korean Sticky Fried Chicken, though you may want to take a pass on the Fish and Chips. All with outstanding and patient service (give Andrew a raise). The place is located on the pedestrian only portion of 4th Street which with all the adjacent well reviewed restaurants, is Cleveland dining ground zero.

Cool experience here. There were three of us. We stopped in for a drink and appetizer. And they accidentally poured us double what we ordered so we got a free round of drinks. Can't beat that! The corn dogs and kimchi appetizers hit the spot. We could have eaten 3 more sets of the corn dogs LOL The beers were cold and tasty. Our waitress was being shadowed by a new waiter and both did a great job. Very accommodating and nice. The ambience was dim lights and upscale yet casual. If we're ever in Cleveland we will be back!

Fun place! Great food! Excellent service! Ordering the food is a bit odd, but once explained it was easy to navigate. We tried several different appetizers and a great cider. I had heard about this place online and wanted to try it. It did not disappoint! We will definitely be back next time we're in Cleveland.

This place had potential but ultimately...nah. One of the annoying spots that forces you to go on your phone to scan the QR code to even see the menu and then order from there and then pay from there too. Do we even need servers? Ours definitely didn't check on us often enough. Came here on a first date and happily got the Korean sticky friend chicken (not sure what made it sticky though...). I cut through a bulkier slice and it was...UNCOOKED in the center. The lighting was low but I can still spot salmonella like a pro. I sent it back and they came back with a replacement that was cooked but like 1/2 the size of the original dish. The menu wasn't big at all and the octopus dish could have been much better if paired with something other than lumpy white beans. Didn't see a dessert menu at all. It was annoying when we first came in and even with plenty of seating available, the hostess sat us at a shared, skinny bar-height communal table right at the entrance.

We shared the octopus and marrow. The octopus was tasty with a slightly spicy sauce. We asked for bread to sope it up. Next we had the morrow. I've seen it but n we never had it. WOW! Hard to describe. Basically, beef fat with mild spices in a hollowed out bone topped with Sprouts and served with thinly slicedthin sliced, toast. Pric6y but I'm 1

We stopped here for dinner and this place puts the U in unique. All of the ordering is on your phone. They have delicious beers and hard seltzer. They have a unique tapas menu. I got the pear and mango hard seltzer. We ordered the fried Korean wings, chimichurri steak, pretzel, and corn dogs. Everything was absolutely outstanding. The Carmel garlic sauce with the pretzel was just out of this world. I love this place. It is a must do when visiting Cleveland. Plus nick our server was the BEST.

It's a beautiful space. The seating is a bit uncomfortable. You can choose how you order your meal. Very good beer selection. The Brussel sprouts were amazing. My husband enjoyed the flank with chimichurri sauce. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not much food for the price.

Good vibe and plenty of space. We stopped in on our way back to our hotel. Thankfully we got a seat at the bar prior to the game letting out...after that the place filled up quick. Decent beer choices.

Food here is absolutely phenomenal. The scan to order system at the bar is a bit awkward and takes rhetorical fun out of sitting there and creates a bit of confusion but that's ok because THE FOOD IS WHERE IT'S AT. Also love the wine on tap. Can someone from your staff please tell us the dark sauce that went underneath the rib eye? Fantastic. Also the bone marrow will forever live in my food fantasies

We were in town for the weekend after not being home for many years and just happened to walk into this spot. The craft brewed seasonal beer spice spice baby was phenomenal. We also had the dry barbecue rubbed wings, which were amazing and the pretzel, which was paired with a garlic caramel sauce that was over the top. Our bartenders were personable and very attentive. Would absolutely recommend.
