26 Best Craft Breweries near Lakewood

“My organization hosted a professional happy hour in their event space. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Atmosphere, food, beer, and staff were all awesome. We had a great event thanks to ISB, and I can’t wait to visit again!“

“I was recently at the brewery as a wedding guest. The staff nailed everything from service to transitioning the furniture when we accepted being rained out. Their food was delicious and they even offered an option to donate leftovers. They had a very wide selection of drinks (no misses on the menu). Shoutout to Rello and the rest of the crew running the kitchen and bar. If you have an event to plan or cash burning a hole in your pocket, it might as well go to these folks! They're worth every blessing that comes their way.“

“Has a 1950's Chicago rib joint feel. Really outstanding menu and good service. The chef came out to talk about allergen concerns. Great selection of Beers and spirits. All they really have to do is to add full slabs of baby back ribs slow smoked to perfection.“

“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.“

“Great Lakes Brewing was on our must go list for visiting Cleveland. We wanted to stop here after shopping at the Westside Market, but unfortunately the Market is closed on Wednesday, bummer! The brewery is located inside a historic building which is gorgeous. We sat inside at the bar, luckily enough it was happy hour when we arrived. The bartender, Leigh, was wonderful and let me sample a few beers before going all in. We tried the Dortmunder Gold Lager ($6), the Eliot Ness Amber Lager ($6), and the Nitro Edmund Fitzgerald Porter ($6). All the beers were $1 off during Happy hour and were delicious. Out of the three, Nancy and I both agreed the Dortmunder was the winner. Leigh said it is one of the first beers they made which is crazy because this place was established back in 1988. Nancy's sister ordered the Grapefruit Blood Orange Martini ($7), she said it was good and it too was a $1 off during Happy hour. We were a little hungry so we decided to order their Buffalo chicken dip to share ($6), which was also $1 off during Happy hour. The appetizer was good, but I wish there was more dip to go around. If you do visit Great Lakes Brewing definitely check out the restrooms in the basement. It's like an old dungeon down there, so cool. I highly recommend visiting this brewery if your a local or just in town visiting for a few hours.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, food and beer. Love it! Check out the food selections. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Mia was our server at the bar ( not sure if I spelled her name right)Excellent server, professional, sweet, and adorable!Did not engage with the other servers and paid attention to the customers she had in front of her. Very rare to have someone so attentive and friendlyShe has been there a while because we remembered her from our past visit. It was nice to see someone still employed there and still happy❤️BJ bowl was so good!!!“

“This is a very interesting and cool place to visit. From the beer selection to the facility it self. Being a brewing company with a wide variety of Ales and IPAs for everyone. We loved the self guided tour you can take. It's just a walk around hallway posted on the walls. It tells you the beginning history of the Fat Head Company and how it landed in Ohio. Yes....we purchased a tin sign for the garage.“

“Great atmosphere, quick service, fair prices“

“First, the beer is amazing. Second, the food is fabulous! I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was the best! My wife had the Mahi Mahi wrap she said it was amazing. We both got the coleslaw as our side and were glad we did. Third the atmosphere and service was great. We will be back.“

“As a lifelong Clevelander, I'm ashamed that this was my first time here. Our server, Vlad, was absolutely wonderful. He put up with our big, loud, and i'm sure annoying, group. All our food was delicious. I waited in the lobby between the two halves of the restaurant while I was waiting for my party to come outside, and I watched every single server legit running and working their tails off to accommodate the full house. My husband got the rabbit special, and I got the beef roulade. Everything was delicious. So were the appetizers. I told the server to just choose a beer for me, and I am glad I did. Whatever it was, it was perfection! We will definitely make the drive out again.“

“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“

“Food and beer is really good. The blueberry beer is really good but the punch in the nuts is the absolute best. It has the best peanut butter flavor ever!!! So dreamy!!! Their grouper with the potato and sweet potato matchsticks is superb and cooked to absolute perfection!!! Their holy frijoles burger with the house made mango salsa is fabulous!!! I wish they had more beer selections.“

“A fun local pub & eatery. Good selection of craft beers made by their brewery. Since the main business is a brewery, the food menu is limited to mostly sandwiches and burgers.It must be a good place as we have tried to go several times before but the place is always busy, and the wait time for a seat was too long for us.We finally got the chance and only had to wait 30 minutes for a table, and we were able to try a beer at the bar.We would go back, but not in a hurry. A fun place to check out.“

“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“

“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.“

“Very good experience. The burger and fries were awesome. One thing I will note is that they add an extra 3% to all credit card payments. This is not the problem. The issue I have here is that the waitress did not inform me before she totaled my bill. I was paying in cash so this didn't apply to me. The waitress happily corrected it, but it all could have been avoided earlier.“
