Magic City Brewing

We popped in during a short road trip from the Columbus area and I have a to say - this beer was delicious and their little food cafe was also surprisingly SO good. I'd for sure come back for more IPAs if we were in town.Side note - bonus points for not giving us the stink eye for bringing our kiddo with us.

I've been to Magic City many times over the last few years. It's definitely a fun brewery with a good vibe and great craft beer. They have a little patio on the side for use in the summer. The staff is always friendly and helpful if you need assistance deciding on a beer. One funny thing I noticed on my most recent visit is they have a self serve water tap but it has a Miller Lite tap handle! I've tried many of their beers over the years but they Unholy Grounds is my favorite. It's a sweet blonde ale with a coffee taste. They are big fans of 'The Office' the TV show so every time I've come there is a beer name after a reference related to 'The Office'. I've seen: Prison Mike, Florida Stanley, Dinkin Flika, and Pam Failed Art School. I would love to go there more often if I lived closer - it's definitely one of my favorite breweries in the Akron area.

Here for the Summit Brew Path. It's hot mess pandemic 2020 so my time at Magic City was brief, but right away I liked the place. They have a funny "no mask no beer for you" sign on the front door. Personable female bartenders that know their beer and know about other local breweries. I hate it when bar staff only sells beer and can't tell speak about it. I enjoyed a nice IPA called Florida Stanley that wasn't bitter at all. Overall chill vibe and I would come here again.

**I decided to come back and edit this review. I removed two stars because of the bartender, Coco. He was rude, sexist, and transphobic. I won't be going back.**Holy fuck! This is the best damn beer I have had in, like, five years. I have never had a Mexican Lager anywhere else in the US that wasn't a larger brand you can find in grocery stores. Their Pilsner is good AF too. The only problem is that I can't walk home from here!I just moved to Kenmore from Highland Square and had been wanting to try this place. I don't miss Highland Square anymore.But serious question - Have Great Lakes and Rhinegeist been out seated as the best beer in Ohio?

This is my new fave brew spot Their motto..."Death BEfore Clear Beer". No lagers, pilsners or light beer here. Many great Stouts, wheat beers and sours available. I liked the Belsnickel a lot. It was clean, tangy and a whole lot diffferent than anything I've had before. We sampled a few darks and a few unusual brews. The place is in kind of a strip mall location and doesn't impreess from the outside but step inside and it's a dark magical land of weird rabbits and dark art. They do not have their own kitchen but there is food service within the building with killer chicKen sliders. YoU just walk to the window, place your order and pay. When it's ready you pick it up and enjOy

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I came for the Summit Brew Path, and I'm so glad I did. First off, check their hours before you come! They're closed Monday and Tuesday ( check their website for details in case it changes). They are also very accessible and the business is hard to miss from the street! They have a huge Cult Kitchen sign (a sister business inside the restaurant with food, woohoo) and a huge white brewery sign with their signature logo. They have a big private parking lot - had no issues parking on a Wednesday evening. Unfortunately I got there after the kitchen closed so didn't get to try any of their food ( which is a good reason to come back! ). But fortunately! The beer is amazing. I got a flight of 4 and was very impressed with every beer I got. My favorite was the Christmas ale by far which literally tastes like a maple roll. They can a lot of their beer in 4 packs, but they will can crowlers (32oz.) on site, which is very convenient. I obviously had to take a crowler of their Christmas ale to go. The bar itself has a great vibe, like a hardcore or a punk show. There's a drunk zombie mural on the way to the bathroom and the Christmas tree is upside down and decorated with bats, if that gives you any idea of the sweet vibes in here. The brewery is clean, there's a bar and a good amount of tables in there. The bartenders were so kind and very knowledgeable about the beer, able to give great recommendations. You can tell that they're very passionate and committed to their craft.I asked the bartender about getting a 4 pack of their Christmas ale and it sold out on the day it released! (which is a marker of how delicious it is). He recommended I download an app, "oznr", which is basically an etsy for local craft beer joints so I could subscribe to their updates and catch it when they release more :)Also, the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. As if all this wasn't enough, they also have really cool, well designed merch from local artists. It isn't available online, but is available in stores. So neat!I would highly recommend this little brewery if you're into beer - great beer, good diversity, and good & fair prices. Enjoyed my stop here and can't wait to come back and try to food!

Fun vibes! Great beer! Varied selection! Delicious food! Our bartender was attentive and cheerful, and we found the atmosphere fun and playful. I'd describe the kitschy decor as "death-metal macabre." Definitely unique! Try the spicy chicken sliders and the stouts!

This brewery has awesome beer and the food is amazing! Try the nachos! Very friendly service

Drinks and food here are amazing the list of beers on draft are extensive and such a wide variety. I haven't had anything bad here yet. The food is a separate entity inside of Magic City called Cult Kitchen. I've had wings and sweet potato fries here and both are amazing. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will talk about each of the beers and good recommendations. There are also tons of pinball machines and a skiball machine inside that provide plenty of fun.

Yes, Yes, Yes. This is a must stop in the area, or heck we aren't from the area and we still stopped :)Their IPA's were so amazing. I loves the OJOG was super refreshing... it's was perfect for a sunny night on the patio... or breakfast... stop judging :)Their triple IPA was so smooth and went down waaay too fast. Walking in we were greeted by the cheeriest bartender ever and she was so kind and accommodating (and hustling).. it was busy and she made sure everyone found a table so they could enjoy their drinks. The food there... is worth going for. The menus isn't giant but is so well thought out and delicious. We tried the grilled pizza, street tacos and wings... and they were all perfect too. Can't wait to go back!
