A quiet sports bar to chill on a hot summer day across from Seidman Cancer Center on Euclid Ave and behind the student center of CWRU in Thwing Center. Nice selection from the tap with flight 4oz for $2!

The best sweet potato fries in the universe! So crispy, not too sweet, just right. Good service and great prices.

This food was pleasantly divine for a brewery on a college campus. I got the club sandwich and the sweet potato fries, which even came with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Yummy. Would go again, if I ever go to another matinee at Severance 😎

Service was mediocre.

We stopped by for early dinner before going to the Cleveland Orchestra. It was a bit difficult to find the place for the first time but the food was good and reasonable and they seemed to have lots of beer. We had Grilled Cheese & Sweet Potato Fries (potato fries came with powdered sugar), and Fried Fish Sandwich & Onion Rings. Just adding a couple of dollars and being able to change from regular fries to different sides was nice.

A really good place. Definitely a college bar so more geared to under 30's, but the food was great and they have a good selection of beer.
Food and drinks are affordable and pretty good. Service was very slow. The staff were nice, but there were issues with the check and a long wait for things (for instance, we got our food after our beers). Plus, they had a guitarist playing a set, but he was so loud we couldn't hear each other, and it wasn't a weekend so we didn't expect that. All in all a mixed experience.

Loved this place. Had an appointment across the road and popped in after for an early dinner. The garlic butter pretzels were the best I've ever had. The flavors were incredibly complimentary! The BBQ quesadilla was perfect. The only thing missing was some wet napkins! (I ordered with no black beans) Partner got the Mac n cheese burger. He said the Mac n cheese on top was great and he loved that it was a little crispy. We will be going back again!

I’ve been a regular at this bar and usually enjoy the relaxed vibe, good bar food, and drinks. However, my last visit left me frustrated due to a lack of consideration from the staff and the quality of the service. In the early evening, I ordered a classic cheeseburger and fries with a drink, but my first drink arrived flat. When I pointed this out, the female bartender admitted that the unit that distributes it needed to be changed and that she already knew it needed maintenance. Despite that, she still charged me for the drink, which didn’t sit right.
About 15 minutes later, the male bartender ended his shift and sat down next to me to count his receipts. Moments afterward, the manager, who is usually very observant, came over and started chatting with the bartender, asking him to hand over an item. Instead of passing it in a way that didn’t disturb me, the bartender reached directly over my food and drink to hand it to the manager, who also leaned in to grab it, invading my space. Neither acknowledged or apologized for reaching across my meal, as if I weren’t even there.
This might have been an innocent oversight, but it left me feeling disregarded and uncomfortable. As someone who frequents this place, tips extremely well, and typically enjoys the experience, I’d expect more respect for my space and better service. I hope management and staff can be more mindful in the future—simple courtesy and quality service go a long way in making customers feel valued.

The hamburgers are delicious as are the French fries. Many beers on tap. Great selection. Occasionally the college group shows up for dinner, but normally there isn’t a problem getting a seat. Love this place!
Great selection of classic and funky beers. And the fries are just perfect!

Can’t beat a kick-ass college bar smack dab in Thwing. Oh, and did I mention they make their own craft brews? Give up them kudos.
Decent bar food w/ deals throughout the work week. Happy hr: 2-6pm, M-F. Recommend the falafel nuggets and dry rub wings.
For brews, the ones to get currently are the Westsider (just came back on rotation) and the Dark & Scholarly.

The Jolley Scholar is our place to go when we visit our son at Case Western. Simple acceptably prepared and priced pub food with acceptable service. But what we really enjoy is the university ambiance, including decorations with painting of famous people. We feel we are in Campus. The Cleveland Museum of Art is a few blocks away and very much worth it for multiple visits.
