Bar has a great vibe with homey interior/basement + outdoor patio . Bullet hole from Elliot Ness himself still adorns the side wall (covered in plexiglass). Beer is obviously great—it’s a classic!

Bin Yang

Sack up and get the full flight. For food, start off with the local & fresh plate with creamy cheeses and smoky meats. Follow up with some fish and chips , rich buckeye burger or pretzel chicken .

Jenn M

Their pumpkin beer is delish. (So is their everyday Eddie Fitz.) The bread pudding was awesome and I will be coming back to have it again once Xmas Ale comes back.

The Traveler

Really good burger . Beer is fantastic. Atmosphere is great. It’s like stepping back in time.I wish I had a pub like this near me. A must stop if your in the Cleveland area.

Erik Cintron

This was a live bar filled with a great selection of local brew , brewed in house. The food was surprisingly good. It had TVs and nice crowd. A shop next store so you can buy ur fav beer or souvenir.

Debbie Crowl

The bratwurst and pierogi plate was delicious. Didn't expect to lime the braised cabbage , but loved it! Had the Holy Moses Raspberry White Ale with it. Perfect beer for a hot day.

Kim Rottet

I love that they have beer/food pairing suggestions. It is a great place in a fun section of Ohio City . Parking can be a little bit of a pain, but valet is available if you don't want to walk.

Jeff B

Try the Buckeye Burger . Don't let the description fool you. The Chocolate BBQ sauce is like a Mexican mole--not sweet. The peanut butter is subtle. Together they make this burger delicious!

Chrissy Stonebraker-Martinez

It's not just for beer . Lots of local ingredients , sustainable practices, generous to nonprofits. Love the pretzel chicken , fish and cups, pierogi and brat , turkey club , meat and cheese tray

Ivo Tzvetkov

Cleveland’s oldest brewery is a great place to grab lunch . Enjoy some of the Pub exclusive beers in the space where Eliot Ness spent much of his time after work. You can also schedule a tour .

Jake Smith

Grab a growler or jug and take some of this delicious beer home with you. It's a little pricey , but it's also the freshest Great Lakes Brewing Co. beer you can buy.

Jeiran Hasan

The cellar downstairs is a nice place to sit to get away from the crowd upstairs. Love all the beer !

Chris Vodola

Solid brews with good food. Nothing will blow you away, but you're at the source so enjoy. You'll find more exotic stuff down in Akron at Hoppin Frog.

Whitni Williamson

Great beer and delicious food!! The Old World burger will not disappoint. Try a beer flight ! Love the white ale and Belgian tripel!

Island Bruin

If you take the tour , you get 4 tastes. And hit the brewpub also- many more of their beers on tap . Tripel Dog Dare is to die for.

Sarah Em

The fries are SO good! Also the tots are super huge and basically a latke in a ball.

Nate Folkert

pulled pork sandwich with pierogi instead of fries was a good lunch for two

Graham Geiselman

Best draught beers in the city . Come in December when Christmas Ale is on tap .

Eric Breece

Pesto sandwich is well worth the visit. Oh, and the beer is good, too.

JASON COLLINS

One of the best brewing companies in the world. Their brewpub is ranked one of the best in the world as well . Food is fantastic and ambience is of a prohibition era speak-easy...Very cool!

Stephen Forbes

The Tater Tots make an even better appetizer than side dish. Get them with the Stilton Cheddar Soup for dipping !

John B

They have several beers on tap here that you can't get anywhere else. The Edmund Fitzgerald ice cream is fantastic.

Justin

Great place to go before Indian's games. Highly suggest the local appetizer and beer sampler .

Wade Schlusser

The food was really good! Great service even when busy and the downstairs pub is really cool!

Shannon Jeropke

If you’re a beer lover then get the everything on tap flight. You won’t regret it!

Rachel Whinnery

Great place. Eliot Ness lager is very good. As is the Cleveland Cobb - homemade bleu cheese dressing was amazing.

Joshua Wilkes

The Mac and cheese is really good. For kids, the hotdogs are awesome! I wish I knew where they got them.

Don Diamant

Excellent food beer and service on game day they run a shuttle to and from the baseball park awesome

Courtney Norwood

Great beer and food to be had! I love the 'Old World Burger ' because the bun is made from pretzel dough , and it's so good! I usually like to get 'Burning River ' or 'Edmund Fitzgerald' beers . Read more

Samantha Lang

amazing!!!! Turkey sandwich and fresh veggies hit the spot! Try the Wright Pils! It's amazing!!

The free Wi-Fi works best upstairs. The wifi network is unsecured, but you'll still need a username and password combination. Username: glbc Password: greatbeer

Excellent food and brew pub exclusive taps. A good place to take visitors from out of town .

The Christmas Ale is delicious, as well as Chillwave!

Dave Romero

One of the best restaurants in the market area

Heithem El-Hodiri

Have the Stilton cheese soup . After the foodgasm is over, have the pretzel chicken . You can sub pierogies as a side.

Trish Bugajski

Ask for Colleen she is great and very friendly . Also, to start order the Brewer's Barley Pretzels - we devoured them

Jonathan Sullivan

Eliot Ness is one of my favorite standbys, but most of of Great Lakes ' brews are well crafted.

Douglas Swoope

Great staff , even added my discount at the end of the meal! Easy place to hang out an enjoy a pint, or chill with a beautiful Madam (MRO)... :)

Stephanie Taylor

The sausage plate (app) is GREAT! Pairs with any beer and all sausages are local! Heck yes!

Chris Bird

The tour price and drink tokens for while you wait

Raj P

Beer is great. Be sure to venture beyond the classics to the pub exclusives .

Michael G

Christmas Ale rules. Also the beer cheese soup is delicious!

David Bouchard

They have homemade tots with bleu cheese and candied bacon !

Search Circus

Awesome special for 10% off food bill from GLBC just for checking in! I especially love their appetizer selection and their special bread pudding -- best bread pudding anywhere!

Jeannie Reed

I thought they weren't doing the Christmas Ale this year. I know a few who will be very happy that they are.

James C

Food is out of this world and the beer is outstanding.

Men's Health Mag

Bullet holes. That’s what you have here. They’re in the 1930s-looking taproom and reportedly came from the gun of famed Prohibition agent Elliot Ness. So, why not down a few Elliot Ness Amber Lagers ?

Elizabeth
