The Most Delectable Breweries in Cleveland

Buckeye Beer Engine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (554) • $$

"They serve brunch!!! I had no idea and I love that you don't need a reservation for Sunday brunch here yet they still have a decent crowd. They also serve their lunch menu for brunch so many options are available for all diets and preferences. Fun fact, they do a Bloody Mary bar with many fixings you can add to it!"

Masthead Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (417) • $$

"Great service, good beers at a great price. They hooked it up with a free beer when I got the wrong one which was nice of them and big plus in my book.Mostly was IPAs on their menu but their Belgian ales were good and all beers were around $6. Pretty awesome if you ask me!"

The Brew Kettle Strongsville & Topgolf Swing Suites

★★★★☆ 3.7 (506) • $$

"Not coming back here. My wife and I have been coming here for years, but the convenience fee is ridiculous. 3% convenience fee is totally ridiculous. When I go to target or Walmart, they don't charge me a convenience fee. Why does a restaurant have to charge me a convenience fee for using credit card? The last time I will be coming here."

Rocky River Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.7 (337) • $$

"Every time I go here this place is awesome, never misses! Everything is good. Start with pretzel, pickles or Asian nachos and follow with the Raging Bull Burger."

Southern Tier Brewery Cleveland

★★★★☆ 4.1 (222) • $$

"Amazing food menu with gluten free options. Service was great! Lots of indoor and outdoor tables. Large beer menu and cocktail menu."

Hansa Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (191) • $$

"When you have off work and in your 30s, day drinking is always a fun idea. After a Friday morning of perusing Westside Market, hubby and I wandered over to Hansa Brewery to hang out. I went with the classic Weiss Beer and snacked on the German pretzel. I enjoyed both the accompanying mustard and IPA cheese sauces.Though we really did enjoy our food and beer selections, the highlight of the visit was getting to chat with the owner, Boris. He was very friendly and kind, even giving my husband a beer mug from the Hansa beer club when he asked to purchase one. If we were local to Cleveland, this would definitely be one of his go-to hangouts."

The Brewerie at Union Station

★★★★☆ 3.9 (210) • $$

"I love the location and ambiance. It's set up well and very clean. Food is good, some a little pricey, but worth it. Helpful and friendly service."

Royal Docks Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (161) • $$

"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."

The Jolly Scholar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (216) • $$

"I came here with my family after we went to the Botanical Gardens and we were in the mood for a burger.To start, it's not visible as a free standing place when your driving around trying to find it because its inside one of the campus buildings. Park and take a walk.The interior is fun, lots of seating and a bar. Two of us got burgers and the third member got the chicken quesadilla. The burger was solid, no muss - no fuss. I would say the size is average - I wouldn't have been able to finish anything bigger, definitely disagree that it's "small." The quesadilla was delicious. We also grabbed a beer each and they were also solid.Our server was helpful and the girl manning the bar was happy to answer our questions and give suggestions. Sitting there and seeing the students made me feel nostalgic in a good way.Great place to check out!"

The BottleHouse Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (158) • $$

"I liked the atmosphere here and the service was great. Big bonus was discovering Farmer's Feast inside for awesome food.I had tasters of several beers and all of the mead they had on offer. Teri of the beers were pretty good, one has some serious off flavors (the black lager) like some mold or mildew crept in during the fermentation or something, honestly they should dump that batch, it does not represent them well. If I had ordered a full pint I would have asked for a refund.The meads were the winners for me, especially Gaia. Overall a good stop."

Boss Dog Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.6 (165) • $$

"Friendly service. Great menu. Not too loud. I'm not sure about the food as I didn't eat. And, the beverage options for non-alcoholic drinks are limited. However, I plan to return."

Immigrant Son Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (114) • $$

"Assuming this was a typical brewpub, we were not in a hurry to check them out. That was a big mistake. During Pierogi Week we thought there offering was the best we sampled and that convinced us to come back and try the rest of the menu. That was a good decision!My wife loved the Shrimp and Grits because it wasn't overrun with hot, spicy supplements that often blanket the flavor. I really enjoyed the Meatloaf because it wasn't as heavy as this dish sometimes gets. The Pot du Crème was also different, with the addition of ice cream and nuts. Overall, this was a fortunate find all thanks to Pierogi Week. Who'd have thought? The moral of the story is never underestimate the food at a brewpub."

Upside Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (105) • $$

"My parents first went to J and G's 47 years ago and we grew up eating here (always a family favorite). I moved away and went back to Toledo this weekend for the first time in 10 years. It's amazing that J & Gs has not changed one iota. Same menus. Same wallpaper. Same everything... including the fantastic food. We had the pizza (cut into squares) that has a super thin crust. The gyros here is literally the best I've had in the country. And the spaghetti is also great. Can't say enough about this place but you gotta love a joint that shows this much consistency for 5 decades. It's the opposite of fancy but if you want a taste of Toledo, hit J & Gs for sure!!"

Trails to Ales Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (95) • $$

"20240802193020-30 wait, paged when ready. Hopping, busy place. The ladies are jump'n, drinks are flowing and the peeps are jawing in this rustic, loud music playing place located right near French Creek and the Allegheny River. The food is large and delicious. The nachos are smothered in cheese, pulled pork, etc. Then there's the golden, crispy pretzel. The Tavern Sandwich with brisket, provolone cheese in Texas Toast with green beans, also a winner. Dive in."

The Tasting Room At Hoppin' Frog

★★★★☆ 4 (95) • $$

"Live DJ last Friday. Pineapple upside down cake beer was amazing! That feels like it was too many words! Short rib grilled cheese.....still thinking about how delicious it was."

Voodoo Brewery Erie

★★★★☆ 3.7 (110) • $$

"First time in this place! Food and drinks were amazing!! The place is very spacious, has a cool vibe, lots of tables, music wasn't too loud. Staff was nice and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping here if your in Erie PA!"

Schnitz Ale Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (95) • $$

"My family met here for dinner this Sunday. We got a large table near the host stand and brewery area. Tried a flight of their beers...everything was really good and I decided to get a glass of Peanut Butter Dark Ale afterwards as I enjoyed it so much. We got two giant pretzels to share as a table as well. For dinner, I ordered the Smoked Rueben, other dinners around the table were the Hot Honey Schnitzel sandwich, Schnitzel with mushroom sauce, Shrimp and Grits, Sweet Potato Pierogis, and Smash Burger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We ended with two different desserts, the peanut butter cake and cookie dough cake. Both very good. Our server was friendly and attentive. We will be back! Now it will be a toss up between here and their location across the street, Das Schnitzel Haus as they are both recommended!"

Unhitched Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32)

"This place was just too cute! We were passing through and decided to stop and we were so glad we did! From the exceptionally friendly service to the adorable patio to the unique drinks and delicious food - there really isn't anything not to love about this place! Vibes were great - lots of people laughing and enjoying their time. If I'm ever back in Louisville I'd return in a heart beat!"

Biker Brewhouse

★★★★★ 4.8 (16) • $

"20/10 service was amazing. We were greeted by Nancy the bartender. She was friendly & informative. Had me sample a beer I didn't put in my flight and ended up going home with a 6 pack. We're from out of town and had our pups with us. They were dog friendly inside! Beer was good too!"
