20 Best Craft Breweries in Cleveland

“As a visitor to Cleveland, I stopped here as the nearest microbrewery to my hotel, and couldn't be more pleased. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, the fish and chips excellent, and the beer. THE BEER. Every one I tried was very good. Check this place out if you're ever in downtown Cleveland.“

“An amazing Brewery with an Awesome Staff. A unique and special place in every way. If you enjoy craft beer, are a home brewer, or appreciate Cleveland History (or all of the above), this place is a Must See. Absolutely one of the coolest places in Cleveland Hands-down.“

“Terra is the best thing to happen to Terrestrial Brewing Co! Located inside the brewery, Terra brings in a more comfortable and cool atmosphere with a simple menu, good cocktails and great food at a reasonable price. Of course their craft beer is available as well. The Pimento cheese dip is a must try, and the chicken sandwich is done right. Dog friendly patio and also in the brewery side. Check the website to see their daily specials as well!“

“Had lunch here with some friends and really enjoyed the cheddar soup. The pretzel wasn't great as I was hoping it would be softer and a bit more flavorful. The pierogies were also a bit different than I expected as they were a bit thicker noodle wise than I'm used to. The flavor inside was decent though. Also tried one of these beers and it was quite delicious.“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Lots of outside seating on a perfect evening. Bring your dog if you have one. Tap options were very interesting. Mac and cheese was great. I sat at the bar and service was ok. Apparently lots of people around me were locals who got immediate service, even coming to the bar after me. I waited quite a while to even grab a taster. I will give it another go in the future but other places to visit before I come back“

“Went to Brick and Barrel on St. Patty’s day and it looked like a super cozy spot to drink some brews. We got their flight and sampled the different brews. They have a pizza place (different restaurant) next door that offers some delicious Italian pizza as well as other Italian food. They also had some sandwiches for St. Patty’s day! They serve some bar snacks inside and everyone is super warm and welcoming.“

“Great selection of craft-brewed beers, meads, sour beers, served by knowledgeable bartenders. Delicious small selection of food in the pop up "shack" in the back...mellow unpretentious atmosphere/large tables/no TVs. If this is your scene, highly recommend!Parking: Free parking at night in the lot at Washington and Lee“

“Working with someone like Mrs. Anita Ephraim FX is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me every week. I invested my first $500 into bitcoin and Mrs.Anita FX helped me manage my account and i made $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first. Mrs. Anita Ephraim walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a … See more“

“This place deserves all the recognition!! Hosted my husbands birthday in their private room, and it was amazing! Spacious area, perfect set up with access to the arcade, patio and brewery. I was allowed in 1.5 hours before my event to set up and wasn’t charged extra, and could bring mostly anything I wanted! Food was spectacular, best chicken paprikash I’ve ever had! And the drinks were served quick, even if the line was longer. I will be telling everyone about this hidden gem, and can’t wait to return as a regular customer. Thanks for all your help, Chris!!“

“This is a brewery that I wish I lived closer to. It has all the things I love - a big, quiet outdoor area with large trees, plenty of seating, and some fun Halloween decor; a historic building with multiple rooms for different size groups with decor that is fun, engaging and historical; and great beer too! I especially loved the French Toast Phantom that I ordered this week. Service is friendly and helpful here. It's an easy walk from W 25th in Ohio City, so if you're exploring that strip, check this place out too.“

“My wife and I went to check the Treelawn out and were lucky enough to catch Bent String perform. It was excellent. Enjoyed the drinks, food and total experience. It helps fill the void of unique music and performers that existed back in the day!“

“Wow. Great beers. Great place that also serves brick oven pizza. But not by the slice you have to buy whole pie. We got a flight of four different beers and wow one of the beers was just amazing. Weller!!. It was an imperial stout. I have never had a beer so good as this one. We also had the masked head IPA and it was delicious. I didn't really like their coffee Porter it was kind of weak and lacking flavor. Great little brewery right down in the downtown area. Parking is on the street. But they do have also outside seating.. My sister ordered a specialty drink it was made with vodka and some kind of fruit juice. She said she liked it but I thought it lacked flavor. A great stop for a Tuesday night in May 2024.“

“Couldn’t recommend Christian and his team enough if you’re looking to host an event. We had a great experience hosting our Rehearsal Dinner the night before our wedding at The Arcade! Great communication, great people, great food and of course, good beer“

“GREAT neighborhood brewery. Very strong selection of beers to satisfy any taste from pilsners, through IPA and saison, to stout. The peanut butter stout and the raspberry saison were particularly good. Family friendly. We were unable to catch the live music, hopefully next time“

“What a location!! Right on the water, we were sat in the enclosed patio area and got to watch the seagulls feast with us.We started with the beer and shot and I had a sweater weather, I had them change out the vodka for tequila. It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value. I’m gonna pregame here for sure! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!Vegetarian options: Many options were on the menu for brunch at least.Parking: More parking than usual for an establishment in the Flats“

“Love the vibes here. If you like beer, this is the place to go in University Circle for an after-work drink with friends. The service is consistently friendly and fast. The food is just okay. I’ve had some good stuff and some bad. I will say the fries aren’t super consistent and can vary. The atmosphere is great: fun and energetic without being loud and obnoxious. If you don’t like beer, the liquor selection is decent and they always have seasonal cocktail choices. Prices are super fair considering the inflation everywhere these days. Have a sober ride home because the pint/full glass pricing is better than the flight pricing IMO.“

“We stopped here after visiting the west side market. I'm surprised that this spot doesn't have better ratings - we really enjoyed this restaurant. For a Saturday it wasn't too busy and we did not have to wait for seats. We ordered the flight of beers, smash burger, and the pretzel. I highly recommend the smash burger it was fantastic. The pretzel with cheese dip was great, and extremely fresh. Lastly the espresso martini was one of the best I have tried. Our server was friendly and helpful. There's outdoor seating, and this spot is definitely dog friendly.“

“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!“

“It up SB today for the 1st time. I tried a Parlimonster beer ( some kind of German beer) & a SB HEFE. Both were good. Friends both got a Stout - What the nuts? They liked it. They had a special on pizza so we got two. Both were quite good. It's a cracker style base with toppings. Nice looking place. Friendly staff. We got lucky with a parking spot right next to the place. I would go back if the occasion permitted.“

“This is in the Ohio City neighborhood. It was packed and loud when we got there but they found us a table. We split a pretzel which was hot, buttery and delicious with a cheese sauce. I had an Ohio City Cream Soda which my companion thought was too sweet but I enjoyed it -- coconut spiced rum, pineapple, cola. We ordered burgers. They were thin patties, nicely griddled, juicy and with a good flavor. The top of my bun was cold, which was weird, but otherwise very tasty. My fries were skin-on and crispy. It was loud but our server was quick and attentive. We really enjoyed our burgers. There was a samurai (??) lamp in the back of the restaurant which was unexpected as it didn't fit the vibe.“
