Nano Brew Cleveland

Came to Nano Brew with similarly high expectations since every other resturant in Ohio City has been 5 stars so far. Sadly this one missed the mark. The food was good, but the service was horrendous. It took 15 minutes for a server to visit our table and the next time we saw her it was to pay the bill. Recommend they do some server training as many tables seemed to have similar issues this evening. Would not recommend.

We go to most of the area breweries and tap houses. This one is ouf favorite. Beer selection is awesome, burgers are great, and service is incredible. We like the outdoor bar option. Murph is the best!

We went for brunch on Saturday at noon and the service, food and atmosphere were all wonderful! We got the Chorizo Breakfast Wrap and The Spicy Poblano Burger. Both were delicious!

My friend and I went here this past weekend. Although the service and atmosphere were fine, the food was underwhelming. I ordered the jerk chicken dip for an appetizer and the Gaucho burger for my entree. The burger gave was a bit sad and dry; I had to ask for “extra” sauce. The burger included sundried tomatoes which were decent but it wasn’t cut up so it was hard to eat in bites. The only redeeming thing was the french fries that I had on the side. I think it’s a great place for drinks though but I wouldn’t come back for the food.

Great place, we found it accidentally - and really enjoyed our lunch there! Had beer samples, daily double burgers - and the Mac & cheese bites were awesome! Server friendly and efficient - highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great experience. Staff was super attentive. Food was yummy. I had the poblano burger which had just the right amount of spice and flavor. Better atmosphere than the usual open beer hall.

We love nano brew!! I have been coming here since I was 21. Used to hit up the bar scene in my young 20’s and this was one of the “spots”. Now, I just turned 30, and this is still one of the “spots” lol. I really love the atmosphere, the outdoor patio and bar section, the food & drinks and the fact they are dog friendly inside and out! We started bringing our puppy when she was 3.5 months old and now she’s 6 months. She loves it and loves the attention she gets from all the other customers and workers. We will be coming here for as long as they are open! Give it a shot if you haven’t already! 🍻

Delicious food and good beers in a cool space. There is a large area inside as well as some cool patio space. I went for brunch and got the Chorizo Breakfast Wrap...one of the best breakfast burritos I have found in Cleveland. It was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. The prices were pretty solid compared to other places. I saw signs about being voted best burger in Cleveland...so I think I need to go back soon to see if I agree. Update: Came back to try "Clevelands best burger" and I think it lived up to the name. Tried the spicy poblano burger and it was delicious...smash burger with poblano, caramelized onion, chipotle mayo and cheese. Fries were also really good. Definitely recommend.

Solid food, great atmosphere! We came by on a Sunday evening for a light dinner. We found nearby street parking pretty easily. There was a lot of seating and very nice ambiance with lots of fairy lights. We ordered two entrees and one shareable between 4 of us, since we just wanted something light. The food was alright, nothing too special for bar food, but overall good for the price, service, and nice ambiance.

I stopped in here with the family on a Friday evening and had a good experience. The kids were satisfied with the kids meals and they loved the soft pretzel APP. The burgers were good, but I highly suggest getting a double patty has one four ounce patty is not enough in my opinion. The spicy poblano burger was definitely good and it had a good spice to it. The amount of fries or tater tots they provide with a burger is not a whole lot, so getting an appetizer before dinner is a good suggestion.

My boyfriend & I had brunch it was amazing...we had the hangover fries, that was the first time I'd had breakfast and lunch in one dish...it was yummy the service was amazing, the ambiance was great as well...we'll definitely have to go for karaoke an ...for date night...

Food was pretty average, there was nothing that absolutely blew us away and it felt like they tried really hard to create an elaborate menu, but didn't have the ability to execute it. It's a nice spot if grabbing a bite before heading downtown for a game or event since it's just on the other side of the bridge. From what we could tell, it was mainly outside seating and was a bit crammed with the amount of tables they tried to fit back there. The structure of the patio also blocked off a lot of the wind so in the summer, it is hot. Service was pretty mid. Our server didn't actually work there- he said he was helping out and worked at a resturaunt down the street. I honestly felt bad for him because he seemed to be one of the only people working on what seemed like one of the busiest nights in Cleveland.

The Miracle on 25th Street drink was amazing. It was peppermint infused Tito's vodka with Swiss miss chocolate, whip cream and crushed candy canes!! Very creative. A new drink menu will be available February 1st. Enjoyed the Chorizo Pierogis. Unique combination of two cultures. Festive decorations.

Have been multiple times and enjoyed it but this last time we overheard the hostess talking shit about us. Asked to sit outside on the patio and host placed us on the lower level of the patio (it was empty). We wanted to sit closer to the bar and Hostess told us it's self serve closer to the bar and I even asked to confirm "can we still sit at those high tops near the bar?" And she said yes. So we did and then my friend went to the bathroom and overheard the hostess talking shit about us saying she never told us we could sit there.

We stopped in for a holiday pop up cocktail the day after Thanksgiving. Drinks were great, super festive atmosphere, service was friendly and attentive even though they were slammed. Will definitely come back!

The food was average or below average... My burger reminded me of something cheap you'd get at a diner, not a brewery. It came with like 4-5 waffle fries? Also the menu brags about how their burgers have won awards. They're near the bottom of my list of brewery burgers. Very little (if anything?) about it was artisan. Just a flat, thin, overcooked patty with sauce in between two equally flat potato rolls. My husband got the Mac n cheese bowl, which looked more like a side dish than a meal. Adding chicken made it nearly $20. There were only 3-4 strips of chicken and again the portion was really small (like a kid's dinner or side salad...). Not like it was listed under the "bites" or "appetizers" section either. The food has gone downhill over the last couple of years.

Always a good time at Nano. Sometimes crowded, other times chill, this particular Sunday we brought a big family (with resos) to the back patio for Brunch. The rose mimosa was delightful! I got the breakfast tacos which come vegetarian. Attentive and patient service and and all around very pleasant afternoon with our group. Thanks for having us!!

PHOTOS ATTACHED!! I visited for the 1st time, for brunch, in late March 2022 with my friend, Sne, and some of her friends. There were 6 of us ladies total seated on a high table. I haven't been back since just because I try not to eat out too often and I enjoy trying different restaurants instead of going to the same place over and over again. BRUNCH -- Typical diner food. I ordered the Veggie Scramble ($8) -- Added chorizo for $2 extra. It came with scrambled eggs, roasted mushrooms, spinach, and sourdough toast (I got it WITHOUT CHEESE). It tasted good but it needed something extra like hot sauce. They also have salads, burgers, etc. SERVICE -- Definitely on the slower end but we all arrived during peak hours for late breakfast/early lunch so the fact that they were BUSY was expected. I don't know if I'll be back for their brunch. They are definitely known for their beer; hence the name, Nano BREW. So if you drink alcohol, then this establishment is most likely up your alley. I don't drink so I can't comment on their beer but they seem to be a local favourite amongst residents. **** - 5/150 total reviews in 2023 - 556 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 7 January 2023

Such a bummer. Searched for good food to eat in the area and this came up as one of the top to check out. Said they were known for their smash burgers. Well the night we went, they were not. Waited forever to get seated and there was no other waiting. When we finally did get sat down, no waitstaff came up for another long time to greet us. When she did, she could have cared less. Messed up our order because she didn't write anything down. Never came by for drink refills. We had to go to the bar to get our own soda. Food came out finally as was half cold half warm. Terrible fries. But the worst was the burgers. 3 adult burgers and 1 kids burger. The patty was the same for all of them. Cut out frozen patties. So after all that wait, hype and mess up's, the food wasn't even any good.

Great vibe going down at Nano. The patio has various levels and the outside bar is well stocked. Service is quick and cheerful. If you're wanting a quiet place on a Friday or Saturday, this isn't the place. Pretty much full of youthful energy. Your best bet is to stay inside at the bar or go two blocks down to The Bookhouse.

It was not as crowded as some of the other venues in this neighborhood and we wanted to stop in and have a beer and maybe a quick bite. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our beers. We ended up not having a bite, because my childcare provider needed me to come back, but everything else was copacetic. The only thing that was disappointing is that my beer was in a can, even though it appeared on the draft list,. But still not a bad experience. The menu looked pretty good and I wouldn't mind trying this another time.

Good for a drink. They have a small batch nano brew (experimental Market Garden Brewery creation) and they carry a lot of Market Garden Brewery and a few other local craft beers. Flight is a good deal. The beers I tried were good, but not the best I have tried in the area. Went on a Sunday evening. The service was pretty slow so it can be challenging to put in an order if you aren't seated at the bar, but that might be because the staff were doing a lot! They were tasked with simultaneously taking drink and food orders, pouring drinks, delivering food, and cleaning up tables. So be patient and enjoy the ambiance. The nachos were a no go, don't order. It was a handful of chips and barely any toppings. But I heard the burgers are good, though I've yet to try one. Huge space, and awesome patio. Not so sure where the bicycle theme shines through.

I came to this restaurant multiple times to give them an honest review. This place has been very disappointing during the week on an afternoon and an early evening. So regardless of what time you get here, get ready to receive terrible service or no service at all. I wanted to sit outside and when I was given a table, the server never came by. So, my family ended up going to the bar to order our food and drinks. Then we saw the table next to us had a server. How come there was a server tending the people at the table next to us but no one came to greet us after waiting for 20 minutes. We even tried to get that server's attention but he just ignored us. So why bother trying? Another irritating thing was that my glass was disgustingly dirty. There was mouth residue on there so you know it wasn't properly cleaned. But when I asked the person who served me my food if it was possible to get another coke, they totally ignored me and walked away. So, my husband had to go back to the bar to ask for another one with a different glass. The only good thing here is their burgers, fries, and tots. So, if you're in the mood to get terrible service and possibly clean dishes, come on in. I'm just done with this place and their terrible service. Might as well just order the food as carry out to save yourself any headaches.

I saw this place had the best burger in the country so I stopped in. We started with the wings and sprouts. They were both very good and I would recommend them both. I of course asked the wait staff about the burger and was told how good it would be. They were correct. I enjoyed the spicy burger and the fries. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the DJ on a Friday evening. Love this place

This place has one of the best patios in Cleveland in my opinion. However, the last 3 times we've been here the service has been SO bad that it's made us decide to just stop coming here. Last time we went, our server's shift must have ended halfway through our meal because we saw him at the bar drinking a beer. Totally fine but he didn't let us know he was done and we never got a replacement server. Someone came to bus our table but no mention was made of a shift change and nobody came to check on us again. After almost an hour we asked the manager if they could send someone over just so we could PAY and he basically just said it was on the house but his response was so vague that we weren't sure if that's what he meant so we continued to sit there for another 15 minutes until it was very clear that he and the hostess were eyeing up our table to seat other people there. So we just left. We won't be back here and it's a shame because the patio is a vibe.

Great burgers with the best crispy tots. Love their homemade sauces. Have always had great service there and the food is fast. The beer selection is wide but have never had anything incredible. Perfect lunch spot after hitting the market.

This one had been on my list for awhile and I'm really glad I checked it out. I came in with my sis and bro-in-law to watch a pre-season afternoon Browns game. We sat at the bar and figured we'd stay for most of the game. It was a fun vibe and the bartenders were friendly. I opted for a flight so that I could taste test multiple beers. I got the Lemon Shandy, Frosty, Urban Artifact and Prosperity Wheat. When it comes to Market Garden beers, the Lemon Shandy is the absolute winner and I tend to get it in a flight and then also a 16 oz pour later on. A must try when you're at any Market Garden establishment! Throughout the first half of the game, I opted for an appetizer of the Everything Bagel Pretzel. My sister and I are mega everything bagel fans so this sounded right up our alley. Sure enough, this pretzel did not disappoint! It was everything a pretzel should be and I personally feel that all restaurants should add this to their appetizer offerings pronto. It was just that good! Through the second half of the game, I also got a grilled cheese and waffle fries. The fries were good! The grilled cheese was decent, but not sure I'd recommend it since it was too much bread and not nearly enough cheese. But it did the trick. Also, I should add that when sitting at the outdoor bar, only one of the TVs was working. So it made it kind of difficult to watch the game and my neck was in a weird position the entire time. Hopefully it's fixed by now...but the grilled cheese and the TV are the only things standing in the way of this being a 5 star review. Would definitely go back on my next trip to CLE!

Food - meh. Service - great if you were the table behind us. They got a ton of attention. Must have been the cute dog. Ambience - I guess. The music was too loud in the middle of the day to think that there was any semblance of ambience. Cleveland is a big place. You can do better.

If fries cost extra... you know you won't be getting too full. Smash burger is as expected. Wish there were physical menus.

I love the patio of nano brew! The side strip has a canopy of overarching trees from the sidewalk and string lights, whereas the back has a 2 story deck! Definitely a great patio vibe. The food is also pretty good bar food, with many burgers to choose from. Additionally, all burgers can be made with either beef patty, fried chicken, grilled chicken, or falafel, so very accommodating for dietary restrictions! Don't forget to add a side of fries or tots :)

If I could give a negative score I would. To say the staff was RUDE would be a gross understatement. One of the waiters was down, right, aggressive. He verbally attacked several people in our group who had been sent to his assigned area by the hostess. We were supposed to have a table set up in the back. Management dropped the ball, and this young man decided to take his frustration out on a group that would've offered him a very nice tip that he act like a human being. This waiter was unhinged and the way he behaved towards customers was abominable. We immediately left, and we will never be back. Don't waste your time with this place. Go to the Old Angle where the servers are friendly and accommodating.

Came here for 2021 Cleveland Burger Week. I sat at the outdoor bar, which was a super-chill space and a great place to hang for a while (except it poured rain on me, so I couldn't). Servers were only semi-attentive...hard to get them when I needed something, but they were all nice enough. As for my meal, I wanted to sample both their special burger for the event as well as some wings, so I ordered both. The wings with homemade hot sauce were tangy and zippy but their blue cheese dressing was too thin for my liking. The spicy burger was decent, but the thin patty did not make for a hearty bite. Burger came topped with roasted poblano peppers (which were slivered), caramelized onions and a spicy mayo. Tots served on the side were fried to perfection. Overall a mediocre meal, but they did have Butcher & Brewer's albino stout on tap which was a plus! Will probably give this spot another try sometime and try a few other items.

I haven't gotten to try the food menu, but that's something I want to do soon. I came in with a large group for drinks and I can't stop thinking about the lemon shandy. Not sure if it's a year-round drink, but sure hope it is. Legit want to drive down just to grab a pack to take home. Really loved the outdoor space... helps to not feel so crowded. Service was kind and efficient. The ladies bathroom, however, was dirty on a Saturday evening.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Nano yet! Well here I am about to talk about my visit during Cleveland Burger Week 2020! Swung by around 5:30 during the week and grabbed a table on the patio immediately (such perfect weather we're having!). A short wait for service, but then things got rolling and all of my needs were met promptly by nice staff. I went with the Spicy Burger $6. It came with a smash patty (thin well done burger patty), cheese, roasted poblano peppers, caramelized onion, spicy mayo on a lovely soft but buttery bun. Not the biggest burger, but the ratio of meat, sauce, and bun was perfect. Very tasty burger. I did not think there was much heat at all, but that depends on your spice level tolerance. Apparently this burger was voted one of the 33 best burgers in America. I also got a side of onion rings $3 with house-made ranch .50¢ to dip them in. I don't usually ever order onion rings because you're basically eating mostly greasy batter, but these weren't overwhelming at all. They held up well to being reheated the next day too. Plus the ranch was pretty yummy (some dill up in there?). There was also some cheesecake bites $7 (four with PB and strawberry sauces to dip) that I took home and are currently in my fridge calling my name. All in all I like Nano Brew! You should definitely stop on by!

I know friends enjoy this place-- and the beer selection makes it easy to understand why-- but with so many breweries in Cleveland, they don't particularly stand out to me. Maybe we made a mistake the last time here with the dinner choices, but the food, while trying to be somewhat more innovative than generic American/German-influenced, didn't quite seem successful enough to be good. PB&J hot dog was a fine example-- actually not bad, the sweetness offset by a bit of chili, but ultimately more forgettable than anything else.

Great Brewery in Cleveland. The beer selection is large and the flights are paired nicely. I really enjoyed the light and flight and then had a few more of one of the selections after the flight was gone. Their menu has a nice spin a brewery food with good vegetarian options and a large variety of burgers with various toppings. Also not pictured are the Mac and cheese bites which are delicious. I recommend making a reservation because this was the third time I've tried to come here without one and had to sit at the bar.

We sat on patio - the bartender was our server. He was very nice, but our service wasn't good because he was tending bar. Everyone enjoyed their burgers - 4 adults. One thing I will say is if you're hungry, definitely add the second patty because the burgers are not big. They do have a kids menu and our granddaughter loved her nuggets. We had the everything pretzel - yum, a plain salted pretzel - yum and dirty fries - yum. As an appetizer.

Although the Thursday night trivia is Last Call (hard questions, not as fun as organic or list based trivia), the Brussels sprouts are the best I've ever had! They're super greasy, crispy, and sweet with the maple glaze. Large beer selection. Friendly servers.

Loved our first (not last!) visit to Nano Brew. They are a sister company to Market Garden. We sat at the bar but they did have a lot of table seating too. Also a nice-looking, dog-friendly patio for summertime. We enjoyed the Market Garden Festivus on draft and had a couple of burgers. I got the black and blue, which has grilled mushrooms and blue cheese. It was DELICIOUS - nice and tender and juicy and a buttered bun. I also got Cajun tots, which were so crispy and nice level of spice. Hubby got the jalapeño burger which he also enjoyed. I'd love to come back again and try some more of their rotating drafts and to get that burger again! And would love to check out the patio when it gets warmer.

I've always been a fan of Nano Brew but have never gotten around to posting a review. Great atmosphere, service, and beer selection! Tried the Untitled Art NA IPA and it was so good, tasted just like a real IPA. The deep fried ice cream is really good too, loved the cinnamon ice cream. Thursdays are trivia night so be sure to make a reservation if you plan on going then, it gets busy!

Great atmosphere and great food! They have very unique burger options, which were delicious. The nachos were a good appetizer. They are dog friendly too and allowed our parties dog to stay at our table with us inside. The bartender was our server and was very friendly. Will definitely be back to try more burgers!

Went here for Brunch on my weekend in Cleveland. I can say that I was not impressed at all. The service was great however. We got everything we needed, service was fast and friendly. However the problem I had was with the food. The brunch menu was really limited. Not much to really choose from. But as a table we ended up getting 2 spicy burgers, the French toast and the biscuits and gravy. One thing we all agreed on was that the food didnt have any flavor or seasoning. The burger was supposed to be one or the best burgers in the country or something like that. But the burger was so plain, it relied on the sauce to give it flavor, and it wasn't spicy AT ALL whatsoever. And I'm not saying that because I'm some guy who likes or needs a lot of spice to consider something spicy, I'm saying it because it was as spicy as ketchup is...nonexistent. Biscuits and gravy was bland as well. Everything we ate was lacking in flavor big time. The place did have a nice atmosphere and environment though. I liked the setup. Very chill. But the food was so disappointing it couldnt save the place for me.

nice server. food is awkward as hell. it seems like they're trying too hard at so much to be unique and win awards for it. Pineapple mango salsa with jerk chicken and... cream cheese? Brie burger with whole cherries on it? Cold burgers with unmelted cheese? Nachos that have cilantro on it listed on the menus but that in reality have none? This is your place. Ambience is cool though. Just wish they had the entree items with the hot honey like the last time I went.

I have been going to Nano Brew for years and this time I was kind of disappointed. In the past I remember they had great waffle fries and a large menu, but I think they must have switched ownership or something because when I went last night, their menu was significantly smaller than I remember it and no waffle fries (some of the best waffle fries in Cleveland)! They put most of their burgers on potato buns, but the size of the burger was a bit disappointing relative to the bun and it felt I was paying for more bun than burger. However, the spicy burger that I got was still excellent. In terms of drinks, they have a wide selection of beers which is nice. Overall, the food isn't bad, just not a great bang for your buck. I would stop by here if you are looking for a fun place to grab some drinks with friends but wouldn't put this at the top of my list for places to eat on West 25th Street.

Went there for a night out with the wife. Enjoyed their Mac and cheese fried balls!!! Great to see they have MGB summer shandy on draft!

Good food and drinks! My friends and I stopped by this place on our Cycle Tour, and this place has bomb Mac n Cheese. And they have a lot of selections for drinks, which I appreciate it. I normally am not into beer, but decided to try one, and it tasted pretty good, so I liked that part. This place has overall good bar vibes, and it's a good place to catch up with friends. The food is also better than your typical bar food. The service of the place was okay. It took a while for us to get served and order our foods, but overall, I enjoyed my time here!

I want to give them a five star review but the service was so slow that if I went planted rice , harvested it, cooked it and took a nap my order wouldn't have come in yet - or so it felt. Now the waitress did say that they were backed up in the kitchen but it was next level. Now that I have got my complaints out the way let's talk about the place. The atmosphere is great and is probably the best darn patio space you can have. The pace is laid out wonderfully and the outdoor bar is a nice touch and the upper deck area is also nice . The DJ played an eclectic mix of bangers and it definitely was a vibe. I would pick Nano over townhall any day of the week if they could give me some no GMO options and a few healthier fare. Also that beautiful outdoor space means only one thing - they are pet friendly ! Bring the puppers out ! The food is delicious and the vegetarian options are a plenty. The fried Mac and cheese bites are as delicious as they sound. I could eat this all day. The dirty fries couldn't like up to the excitement of the mac and cheese bites but they were still quite good. They do have some award winning burgers I know my friends love but I don't eat meat so I can't truly speak to those. From how quickly the food disappeared I can safely say that it must be good! The beer choices are solid with I think 24 on tap with the line up changing frequently. H

The atmosphere itself here is impeccable!! I have been hearing so much about the Mac n cheese balls here and I ate them so fast, I forgot to take a picture! It was delicious!! I came for the Trivia night and had a bunch of fun. Great music choice and fun questions. Would definitely recommend!! Lots of outdoor seating and indoor seating options. My friends got the beers and loved them. I also ordered the wings & fries, which were delicious.

Went with my boyfriend for Trivia night and it was so much fun! The service was great, bartenders are super friendly and the food was amazing. I am also so glad they have vegan and vegetarian options such as plant based meats. Overall, great time and totally going back!

Decent place for drinks/beers and food. There's always a DJ playing on weekend nights. Cool vibes. Bartenders are dope and nice if you reciprocate that energy. They tend to be "busy" tending to other patrons whenever its a busy night so sometimes it can be a wait to order something. Only thing that can be a bit annoying (if you do experience this) about this place is the other patrons. People can be drunk off their a** and say some out of pocket stuff to you. I have gone a few times with friends and as a group have encountered weird folks asking us racial questions that were ignorant and/or immature. That doesn't make Nano the place itself bad. Just the folks who tend to frequent there. They (Nano) have no responsibility for that but that's based on my personal experience with the other people.

Outstanding brunch, loved the vibe. Our server Jack did a great job with it our table.

Bloody Mary here was very good, and everyone else liked their mimosas. Most people liked their food but I wasn't crazy about it. Got their world famous burger and was disappointed that it was a smash burger. If it was a quarter pound patty it would be amazing. Fries are amazing !!

My love for this place if far from "nano"! A few steps away from the crowdedness of w. 25 is a this great bar/restaurant/patio! They have a really wide selection of beers for any beer lover. During the summertime their patio is great. This place is a must go for a beer and quick yummy bite to eat!

USE CASH ONLY!! Came back to my hometown and a family reunion of sorts. Stopped by Nano's after visiting Pins Mechanical. Next morning, someone in our party had their credit card charged at Nano's for $300+ for a couple drinks. If coming to Cleveland for any event, there are numerous other quality drinking establishments in the area that won't bite the customers that feed them.

Great food and atmosphere, love this place. They have a new menu coming out and really looking forward to the new items

Ended up here for some late night food and drink... Mitchell's Ice Cream down the street caught my attention so I was craving something sweet to begin and ended up with the Fudge Milk Stout. Dark as I feel inside, smooth and creamy like melted ice cream, and just enough chocolate that it is not overpowering. This was an amazing dessert beer, let alone an amazing beer in general. Now onto the main course, of course. Thanks to my ingenuity, I was actually able to order a faux-McGangbang. Which in this case was a Spicy Burger, add fried chicken breast (only an extra $3). I was disappointed 1) because it did not come with fries and 2) it sounded so good in the description but fell flat despite having so many premium ingredients. Good place to have some drinks outside or try a new test beer for Market Garden. I've been before, and will probably be back.

Nice ambiance, pretty good beer but food was just ok. Not bad but not sure we would go out of our way to come back.
