I have been to Bell Tower before. It was the last time I was in Ohio. I apologize because I failed to leave a review. The best way I can describe the building is "unique". It looks like an old church. The high ceiling, the arches and the wood. I was expecting to see monks walked through the place. The atmosphere was very relaxed. They have a fine section of craft beer. The food is tasty as well. Good beer, good food and a friendly staff. What else do you need? Stop in and enjoy it. If anybody ask where you were... you can tell them you were in church.

Bell Tower Brewing a neighborhood gastropub in Kent serving local brews, crafted cocktails and delicious scratch made, locally sourced food! Gluten free and vegetarian options available! The menu was so large it was hard to choose but the Steak French Dip & Confessional Double Hazy were our favorites! Grab cans of Tontos Cerveza to go in collaboration with Taco Tontos! The chicken paprikash was ok, needed more flavor. Parking available in a small lot or on the street.

Checked out Bell Tower Brewing for lunch and had a really nice afternoon! My friend and I both got the grilled cheese and soup. The soup was very good, but was a little underwhelmed by the grilled cheese. We both enjoyed our cocktails! They have seating indoor and outside with a smaller onsite parking lot. Would definitely go back to try some of their beers! Their drink list was lengthy! Plenty of options to choose from!

Great place to be on a Friday night with friends. It was very busy, lively and great for causal outing. The interior was stunning, with tall open ceilings and arched windows and design details that made the space feel open and aesthetic. They offer a great selection of beer, cocktails, shareables, and sandwiches! We started with the ale and larger samplers and ended up getting a whole pitcher.( I forgot to take pictures, we gulped down too fast). I had the sakura spritz, which was light and refreshing with a nice yuzu finish. For shareables, we ordered Bavarian Style Pretzels, Bacon & Beer Cheese Fries, and Nashville Hot Cauliflower Wings. I personally enjoyed the cauliflower wings. They had a spicy kick, were very crispy and paired well with the drinks. For the entree, we tried the Hot Italian, Steak French Dip, and Strawberry Goat Grilled Cheese. Everything on the table was delicious. It was a bit hard to get the server's attention at times due to how busy it was, but overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back next time.

I've been hearing great things about Bell Tower Brewing and finally came with my dog to check it out. The patio is dog friendly with gravel, so bring a blanket and bowl if you want your pup extra comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful. I had a half house salad with their house garlic vinaigrette and truffle pierogies with caramelized onions that were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a five beer flight and enjoyed every one. The vibe was fun and welcoming. Five stars because it really deserves it.

I was surprised to get in on a Friday night with no reservation with only a 20-ish minute wait. It was nice because we were able to get a beer at the bar and sit in one of the lounge areas during our wait. The renovated church is such a cool space with a unique ambiance. Once seated we got a flight and pretzels to start. Our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the offerings and suggested a few other beer samples based on what we enjoyed from the flight and our dinner pairings. We had tiramisu for dessert. (I was so hungry and excited I forget to take all the photos!) Everything was very good! Will be a new go-to!

Bell Tower Brewing - A Flavorful Experience Worth Repeating We finally had the chance to visit Bell Tower Brewing in Kent, Ohio, and let me just say--what a fantastic experience from start to finish. The space has a warm, inviting energy that instantly makes you want to sit back, relax, and enjoy what they've crafted. We sampled five tremendous beers, each one offering something unique and memorable. While I genuinely enjoyed them all, the German Pilsner and Irish Ale were absolute standouts for me--crisp, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Here's what we tried: Hermann-ator - A bold Doppelbock that brings depth and complexity with rich malt flavors. Notes of dark fruit and toasted bread really shine through, making this a fantastic winter beer or one to sip slowly while soaking in the ambiance. Celtic-Knot - This dry Irish Ale hits just right. The slight toastiness from the roasted barley gives it a clean yet flavorful finish. It's the kind of beer that feels familiar but stands out for its craftsmanship. Revival Rye - A refreshing twist on a classic American Pale Ale. Lightly hopped with a pleasant bitterness, caramel malt body, and that subtle spicy rye note that sneaks in at the end. Really well done. Guilded Splinters - A juicy American IPA that's full of fruit-forward flavor without diving into hazy territory. It's bright and aromatic, with a soft finish that makes it super drinkable--even for those who typically shy away from IPAs. Spirit of the Bell - This was my personal favorite. A crisp, clean, classic German Pilsner that checks all the boxes. Light, refreshing, and brewed with precision. It's the kind of beer that keeps you coming back. And listen--if you're a peanut butter lover like I am, do yourself a serious favor and try the Peanut Butter Burger. It might sound a little out there at first, but trust me, it's a flavor bomb that works. Perfectly cooked burger, creamy peanut butter, and savory toppings that somehow come together in the most addictive way. From the creative beer list to the thoughtful menu and laid-back vibes, Bell Tower Brewing really impressed us. The staff was welcoming, the space had a cool blend of industrial charm and comfort, and everything felt well-curated--from the tap list to the food. We had a great time and will definitely be back. This place is a must-visit for anyone in the Kent area or just passing through Northeast Ohio. Cheers to great beer, bold flavors, and new favorites! #ohiobeer #ohiobrews #kentohio #belltowerbrewing #craftbeerlife #beerlover #drinklocal

Cool interior, fun patio that's dog friendly. Really enjoyed the cheese, bacon fries. The cheese was almost like sauce and the bacon was fresh and tender. my burger was good and my buddies Italian sub was over the top. Only negative experience was they were out of having to deal with steak so no French dip. Our server was stellar. Will return.

A total hidden gem! Found myself in Kent for business. My conference ended early and I remembered I had seen Bell Tower on Instagram and decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did! I did a beer flight. There were so many options that made it hard to chose but I was open to trying anything. The tasting was a great experience, some were better than others (according to my taste buds). They have a great food selection as well! Nice to keep the good vibes going. The interior was breathtaking. From the color scheme to the different seating options, amazing. Love the concept of old church converted to brewery. Great experience!

Bell Tower... a hot spot must! What a cool concept of turning an old church into an updated bar/restaurant. This spot markets themselves as a brewery but had such a large cocktail and food offering! Our friend previously had tried the beer and said it was very yummy while this round, we all got cocktails (blue dream, negroni, and vodka martini). All of our drinks were delicious and had a cool presentation element. While we did not indulge in food, we saw many plates go past that looked to be a great portion and very intriguing. I could not rave enough about the interior and service. The inside played a nod to the church theme while still being updated, calming, and cool. This drew in a good mix of demographic from older college kids to adults. Every staff member we interacted with was so nice and even during last call, our server gave us the time to decide if we wanted another or not. 5/5 stars with no hesitation! Fun Tip: Their outdoor patio looked to be a destination for summer. I would certainly love to check it out then!
