Hansa Brewery

We got to the restaurant about 15 minutes before closing so we really felt bad and not sure if we would be able to have dinner. The host came out and went back to the kitchen to inform the cook. Once we sat down and ordered we were relieved that all was available. Very accommodating and terrific service. The food was delicious and plentiful. The ambience brought me back to my time in Germany just chatting with the server. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

Located in Ohio City, great place to stop and grab a drink. They had several beers on tap, the kolsch was our favorite. There is indoor and outdoor seating and though we didn't eat, the food smelled delicious.

Every year for the last few years, I have added Hansa to my birthday brewery tour - this year I made it the one and only stop. I called the day before and was able to make a reservation for 16 people without any issue. We arrived at 7 PM and our table was prepared and set for our party. We were greeted by the owner, who is wonderful and so funny and we had a great server as well. We had excellent service that night, and I even was able to get my picture with the owner! It is a German brewery and restaurant and it definitely has that feel to it. There is a bar or there are tables to sit. There is also a patio. I started off with their Oktoberfest which was delicious! Some of my friends got flights, or tried some of the other beers on the menu. I did try a taste of their hefe , and it was delicious! I have had different appetizers in previous visits, but this was the first time I had a meal. I chose the chicken paprikash- it was perfect. The chicken was so juicy and the paprikash was extremely flavorful. Several of my friends had the pork schnitzel, and they absolutely loved it. They had daily specials and the dessert of the day was crème brûlée. I was able to get the very last one! I love crème brûlée and this was delicious. I have had great experiences here in the past, but my birthday this year was definitely the best time I've had at Hansa! Thank you so much to the Hansa staff for working so hard and being involved in my birthday :)

A solid spot, unassuming from the exterior. It's definitely a family owned joint and the hospitality was great from the get go. They had an unexpectedly busy day prior to us arriving so a lot of beers and appetizers were sold out even for our 7 pm dinner time. We started with potato pancakes which I am always hypercritical of since my grandma makes the best Polish potato pancakes. I was actually pretty impressed! They managed to maintain flavor and crunch, they were just a tad thick for my liking. My partner and I shared the pork schnitzel and the paprikash dish. Pork schnitzel with the cabbage was very solid. However, I personally wouldn't get the chicken paprikash again--too watery of consistency compared to what I'm used to. Our friend got the burger, which has a unique but flavorful patty. Our server was wonderful, super easy to chat with and really friendly and fun. I would definitely come back here with some friends or family. Also! There's a great little German store attached with chocolate, pickled vegetables, beers and wines, jams, and more!

We had tried to come here previously, but they close their kitchen around 8pm. This visit we made it in time. Tried all of the beers on tap and settled on the kolsch. Fabulous.Staff was super nice and helpful when suggesting food and beer.The preztel appetizer was my least favorite- super dry pretzel. The dips were outstanding.I had the jager schnitzel- delicious and a great "un breaded" choice.Friends had the chicken paprikash special, the Wiener schnitzel and the sausage plate. All raved about it.Fun little European grocery next door as wel.

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.

Had a great German dinner. The French Orly Schnitzel is tender and flavorful. I chose German Potato salad and Sauerkraut as my sides . The German Potato salad was a huge portion . For dessert my husband and I shared the apple strudel which is homemade and definitely worth a try. It was a slow night for the brewery but I encourage everyone to try this restaurant.

What a fun place!! while visiting other breweries in the area this one popped up and we knew we had to stop in. The entrance is fun, you really feel like your walking into a German pub. I had a chance to try quite a few beers and was happy with each one. They have fun names and great flavor. They even have a very inventive bar with some things I've never heard of and the staff was very helpful in helping us understand what things were. I then got a chance to go into the attached store afterwards. They have a great selection of wine and treats to take home. The women who owns the store and brewery was super sweet and kind and for that reason alone i'll be back.

Unique German establishment with a nice variety of beers. Family owned and operated with a 'Cheers' vibe. Sat and served quickly. Lots of awards on display for their beer. Friendly service. We were not offered a food menu at the bar but I did see food coming out of the kitchen that looked tasty.

You definitely get the German vibe upon entering the building. It seems like a bar in Bavaria. The service started out slow, but it was great once we were seated. All of food was good, and everyone liked the beer! The pork schnitzel is the best I've had in Cleveland. The desserts were absolutely delicious (we tried the napoleon and apple strudel).
