Really cool spot if you're in Cleveland. Definitely encapsulated what Cleveland is and what they bring to the table Energy is super cool once you're in there, great lighting and very kind staff as well. Devil in a blue dress was one of the best beers I've ever had. Wanted to try others on their list but I kept reordering this same beer just because of how fire it was. Food was ridiculous. Just about everything we had was mind boggling. If I had to get ONE thing, I'd probably have to go with the potatoes. Those shishito peppers, meatballs, and pork belly bites were insane. Overall, solid chance I come back to Cleveland just to show people this spot. They know what they're doing, and they do it the best. read more

Stopped by after dinner elsewhere for a flight and to watch some NBA Playoffs! The CAVS were playing away that day, and the bar was full of fans and friendly supporters. Service was great! Informative knowledge of their beers, which I'm a big fan of - beer! Enjoyed my flight, plus one lighter beer! Wish I had visited for dinner, as their BBQ program looks great! 10/10 will return. read more

Food was excellent as were the drinks. I like the concept, they encourage plate sharing and offer a great selection of good bar food to keep it interesting. Our party of 4 got the following (we overdid it), Big pretzel, Mac and cheese, flatbread, (2) burger sliders, corn dogs, Szechuan green beans, flat iron steak with churrasco, pork belly, short ribs ...maybe one or two items I forgot due to food coma. We washed this down with their fine beer selection. I give a "4" because you have to order via their app. Maybe more precise but I like the personal service of a server when I go to a restaurant. Servers were abundant, food came out fast and steady, just that small lack of service turned me off. Sign of the times I guess. read more

Great experience! Came in and found a spot at the bar before a Cavs game! You can order online by QR code and get your drinks and food. They have regular bar top seating and then an overflow area for plenty of walk-in space. For drinks we got 2 ciders which were refreshing, then each tried a house seltzer flavor- definitely recommend!! We ordered the dry rub wings, flank & chimichurri, and beet salad for food. The wings were an absolute stand out! They came steaming hot and had amazing flavor, the bleu cheese dipping sauce was really delicious and we used it on our other dishes. The side of hot sauce was also flavorful. The only reason it wasn't a 5/5 is that we did not have a server, just picked up our own drinks at the bar and had food runners to bring out the food but the app kept selecting a 20% or more tip and charged my husbands card multiple times before our tab was closed. We will have to get to the bottom of the charges today. But great night had by all! read more

Cute place in a very cute area of downtown Cleveland. I ordered the octopus because the reviews raved how tender it was but it was not tender at all! The flavor was great but the chewiness was disappointing. I eat octopus all the time. I've had great octopus but this was not. read more

Love the Shared Plates option. We came in a party of three and chose five plates to share. Other than two photos that posted, we also had Spicy Rigatoni (not really had much kick), Wood Fired Ribeye and Josper Fired Pork Chop. Love the octopus that was tend and welled flavor. The ribeye and pork weee fine but bit pricy. The peppers had too much sauce and a little bit burned, but great taste anyway. read more

Each dish was elevated and very tasty. You should definitely get many things to share all together. 5/5 food overall My recommendation is crispy brussels sprouts read more

Excellent, all around! Had six of the shareables and a couple NA beers. Excellent service, too. Sat outside with our dog and they supplied him with plenty of cold water. Thanks- we'll be back! read more

Fantastic food that is all shareable or grab a couple for yourself alone. Delicious pear and white balsamic gimlet. Huge space. Octopus was delicious with tender tentacles atop a red pepper aioli. Fried cauliflower was flavorful with tasty truffle sauce as well. The best dish was unexpectedly the "spicy" patatas which were actually not spicy but just very flavorful crispy baby potatoes. The crisp was divine! The sticky honey fried crispy chicken was epic. Juicy, sweet, crispy! Highly recommend. read more

The food is next level good here and pairs well with their brews. Beef sliders check. Chicken wings of course. But I wasn't expecting to have one of the best salmon dishes ever. Perfectly seared and on top of corn chowder, fried carrot, charred corn and basil oil. A complete carpet bombing of flavors. The flank steak with chimichurri was also awesome. The tap list is solid and diversified. I really enjoyed the Fox's Schedule - Dark IPA at 7.2% ABV. Good orange peel flavors balances with a toasty black malt. The place is popular. Recommend getting reservations. read more

So ate here a decade ago. And for us not to go back somewhere, it must've been entirely not memorable then. So we tried it today before a comedy show and the first thing I wanna say is great weight staff very attentive. We had Shishido peppers appetizer, which was good, we had bone marrow, which our second attempted bone marrow first one was amazing at another restaurant and this one just felt like fatty tissue. Then not a lot of flavor. Portions were inconsistent. Also one bone was really deep. One bone was negligible. They brought out a new bone for us and we didn't even complain. We just pointed it out. That's great service. My wife had meatballs which she liked didn't get a picture unfortunately I had some sticky Korean chicken, which was flavorful but nothing that's gonna end up being memorable I didn't care for the coleslaw. My wife liked it and then the pickles tasted like bread and butter, pickles and those were good. Overall, it was just OK and I really wanted it to be wow. If you look at my other reviews, I am usually not. Caustic or anything so giving a three star should probably be 3 1/2 stars but they don't let you do that. One of the things that I remember from the first time we went was that they had all sorts of charcuterie boards, but speaking to the server, they said that Covid killed lunches for business, and they had to get rid of their deli kind of hard to be called butcher in the brew if all you are as a brew now. We probably won't go back. read more

Very tasty! Came on a concert night so it was very crowded which made it very loud, but it's a cool vibe inside and I like the concept of being able to order on your phone or from a real person. We had a real person and service was very prompt! We got the pretzel, baked Brie, cauliflower, sliders, and patatas bravas. Sliders were fine, potatoes were solid, more Smokey than spicy. Highlights were the other three dishes. The baked Brie was really good, enjoyed the apple addition and it was a nice extra dip for the pretzel! Pretzel was very soft and a good amount of salty, the dips it came with were great especially the garlic caramel! And the cauliflower was a great crispy texture, the sauce it sat on was delish. Would love to come back to try the pastas or pizzas, corn dogs and wings! read more

This was a brewpub that served a good amount of food too. The atmosphere was modern with outdoor tables and loud music playing. The service at the bar was friendly and helpful while the food came out quickly. We ordered the flight and bites pairing ($32). There were four beers and three food items here. I will describe and give thoughts on the food options. The presentation was great. Oysters on the Half-Shell - There were two oysters on the half shell with a bacon mignonette and bacon bits present. This was solid. The oyster appeared fresh, but the mignonette was already on top, and it was a little overpowerful. I would have preferred it on the side. Peach and Pork Rillettes - This came with a peach and pickled Fresno chile compote and toasted ciabatta. This was good and tasty. The combination of compote and pork really was appetizing. It was unique as well. Java Pork Belly - This was mole adobo pork belly with cacao and espresso crema as well as a chicharrónes crumble. This was unreal. The pork was not too fatty and tasted like a combination of bacon and a well-cooked pork chop. The chicharrónes was a nice added crunch. It was one of the better bites I had in a while. Will I go back? Yes. read more

I came here with two of my co-workers as we were in town for a trade show. This is one of my favorite places to come in Cleveland. The beers are great, I'm a big fan of the Albino Stout. Since there were 3 of us we tried several plates. First we had the grilled Octopus, soooo good. One of my top 2 favs, cooked perfect, it was smokey almost tasted like a steak with a great sauce. Next were the pork belly bites, these were my other top 2. It's hard to choose which was #1, if I had to pick it may be these. Delicious. Next was the spicy rigatoni, very good, nice flavor, not too spicy, but a little heat. The wood-fired dry rub wings. Very good, smokey, a little messy as far as grease. But very good, a good compliment to the pasta. Then the corn dogs, my coworkers comment before was "I don't really liked corn dogs." I told him to try one as I thought they were great. After eating one he said "that was the best corn dog I've ever had.". The sauces help but the homemade corn dogs are very good. I was good after 5 dishes but my coworkers were still hungry. We got the beef sliders next. They're good, the burgers are cooked well, the flavor is nice. But compared to other plates, this was lower on the scale. Next was the Cacio e Pepe, it's good, the spicy rigatoni was better, I think if you had this with the dry rub chicken it would complement nicely. But by itself it's just so so. Last was the pork-chops, honestly my least favorite. They had a very pickle-ish after taste, I don't like pickles so it's not for me. All and all a great meal, the only reason I gave 4 stars vs 5 is because the first time I came here. They had shrimp and grits that were A-mazing! I came back just for the beer and shrimp and grits. So I'm sad it is no longer on the menu. I literally bragged to my coworkers about how good they were when I tried them. If you can put the shrimp and grits back on the menu I'd give this 5 stars. But even without them it's an amazing place to visit. read more

Okay Cleveland! We were in town for a 49ers vs. Browns game and happened to decide to stop in here and it was a 49ers friendly spot. Ha! The beer - brewed in-house was really good. I got a flight of the following. They have "pre-set" flights but you can also create your own (the menu was a little confusing but our server - Tyler - helped out!): *Stop Hop Kaboom - American IPA - 7.00% ABV (Assertive, but approachable - citrus and resin balanced by clean bitterness.) - the description is spot on btw! Actually quite floral-y! *Spice Spice Baby - Christmas Ale - 6% ABV (Brewed with ginger, cinnamon, and crystal malts to remind you of your favorite holiday treats.) *Now That's What I Call Xmas, Vol 10.5 - Imperial Christmas Ale | 10.5% *Albino Stout - White Stout - 5.4% ABV (Pale in color w/ notes of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee) Also based on the Yelp pics I HAD to get the corn dogs - they were really good! In general, I was fairly impressed with the food here. We also had the: *Crispy Brussels (Whipped harrisa feta, roasted fennel, pomegranate seeds, masala vinaigrette) *Josper Fired Pork Chop (13 Oz bone in chop, mango whiskey reduction, cucumber pineapple salad, cilantro. Served medium) All in all a good time and vibe! Great start to our CLE trip! read more

A variety of dishes that all tasted delicious! Each had a unique and different flavour, so you can't go wrong with any choice. My favourite was the black truffle meatballs. So good! They also have a big selection of drinks, though I didn't try any myself. Served was attentive and great. Note that they only have QR code menus, so if you're looking for an updated picture of their menu on Yelp, you're better off going directly to their website. read more

Ok, folks, this place is an experience, a social outing. If you are looking for one well-rounded plate including a main and side that you keep to yourself, this is not for you. Also, if you are on a budget, this place is also probably not for you. Our group of 6 went as a special early holiday dinner/Cavs night. Really appreciated that they sat a portion of our party while the rest of us sought parking. I was super stressed that we would lose our reservation. We enjoyed ordering and sharing practically the whole menu. And based on this service style, they could bring out food when it was ready. So we could enjoy it freshly cooked and basically graze our way through a meal. Our server was also on his game. Super attentive. Kudos all around. Just remember, you are paying for the experience. If you know that, you won't dwell on the bill. read more

Wow! Just WOW! First timers in from Buffalo. As a former restaurant owner let me say, "well done! Bravo!" First and most important, shout out to JESS our main server! She was friendly and on top of it. I had random question for her and she was happy to help! Thanks Jess! She deserves a raise! lol The set up for service in the high top and patio areas is order on line only at your pace. I liked it. The bill is right on you phone so you can pay when you are ready. The kitchen has a nice hold on the pace of food orders coming in. We never waited. I attached pictures of what we ordered. All items we shared but can easily be a single meal. We wanted an array of different items to give to give a thorough review. Every single bit was delectable! Mouth watering goodness. From a modern spin on cooked carrots to flank steak that will knock your socks off! The vibe is rustic modern maybe funky fits. Whatever you call the esthetic, it's cool. you must check it out if in downtown Cleveland. They are on their game and I wish they would open in Buffalo! They would gel perfectly with our Brewery scene. read more

I stumbled upon Butcher and the Brewer while on a late night hunt for food. I hadn't done any research, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The waiter explained the shareable menu items and a few recommendations, including the sticky chicken. Out of all the things we tried, I still think about the amazing crispy brussels. The brussels were paired with the most amazing tart goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, maple syrup and pork belly. The sticky chicken is definitely worth trying and had that perfect crunch reminiscent of Korean fried chicken. This place is great for late night eats or a family style dinner. The restaurant is very large, spanning 2 floors and extremely spacious with an upscale feel! read more

This is my third time coming and I'm never disappointed. Good to make reservations beforehand but if there is no game happening, looks like it wasn't too horribly busy on an early Friday evening. My mom and I shared some of their small plates. One of them was the pasta dish which was really amazing and done really well. The flatbread was also really good. The asparagus was top notch and so flavorful. Always always I get great food here! Love everything they've always had. The meatballs are in a vodka sauce that is just amazing. Ambience is very sports bar like but with a top-notch chef. Always on my list to return to every time I come to Cleveland! read more

I will definitely be back soon! read more

Came here recently for a concert and was able to get seated without a reservation by arriving early (around 5 pm on a weeknight). I highly recommend a reservation! We ordered off of the qr codes and the food came out so fast! We tried a variety of different small plates. The corn dogs, truffle meatballs, and sliders were pretty good. Overall this is more of a vibe than great food place, but I enjoy it. it is also very large and cool on the inside too and they have a wide range of drink selections. read more

We are here before a concert. The food was not bad but nothing really amazing. The place is very loud or at least it was on a Friday night. If you are looking for a peaceful evening this is not the restaurant for you. Also, you have to scan to order on your phone and you get charged a convenience fee which was annoying. They have good drinks and some of the food was decent. We didn't hate it but probably wouldn't go out of our way to go back. read more

First, the general vibe. Fun atmosphere, low key, sports if you want, communal seating works Next, the food. Excellent, surprising combos. Menu looks a little foodie, but trust me that there is something for everyone here, and it's all great. I can't actually say what makes the sliders so good, but trust me on this. We also had the pretzel and butcher's flatbread: all winners. The service: equally low key, low pressure, with digital options. Overall: don't miss, this is a gem in the Gateway district. read more

Love this place. It's the perfect spot to try several things since everything is meant for sharing. We stopped here before a show at House of Blues sicne the location is convenient. They have great cocktail selections too. The server was really helpful in recommending us the best vegetarian options to try. I love when s restaurant has a ton of vegetarian options! We went with the beet salad, papas fritas with an added egg, spicy rigatoni, and the Kimchini balls. All wet amazing. The beet salad was very fresh and flavorful, the potatoes were perfectly cooked and the runny egg was a great compliment, the sauce on the spicy pasta was to die for, and I think the star is the show was the Kimchini ball - I loved everything about them. The service was very quick too, making it a great stop if you have other plans on E. 4th to get to. Our only wish was that they had some desserts to choose from too. We will definitely be back though! read more

Everything was a hit! We got the brussel sprouts, smoked chicken wings, burger sliders, and octopus. Everything was so flavorful and came paired with a condiment of some sort. The brussel sprouts had a whipped feta and harissa under them that was so complex and good. They were also cooked perfectly. The smoked wings were packed with flavor and came with like a whipped blue cheese situation in an orange sauce... I've never had anything like it before. If you tend to like your wings well done or even crispy you might want to request that upfront as we felt like our chicken was a little too rubbery and under done when it first came out, but they were very kind and friendly asking us questions about what exactly needed to change and they brought us out a new order. The octopus was also really good and tender and I loved all the garnishes that came on top. The Manhattan I had was one of the best I've had in a while. It's located on East 4th so you'll want to find parking on Prospect or on Euclid, but there's also an option at the top of East 4th to valet, which is pretty easy. The restaurant was pretty big with a huge bar so I don't see why anyone would need a reservation unless it's a big weekend or a game day. read more

We decided to check out Butcher and the Brewer today and it was a great experience! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We decided to sit at the bar since the dining area was pretty busy already. They do have communal tables as well, so that is another option if you do not want to sit at the bar. We ordered a lemon drop martini and an old fashioned to start. Both were delicious! If you are an old fashioned fan then I would suggest ordering it. Not sweet and the whiskey shined through. They only have shareable plates and the portion sizes are not huge, so just be mindful of that! We ordered the corn dogs and flank steak with chimichurri. Both were delicious. I personally think that unless you order a couple of items you will not leave full. This is a great place to stop in before a Cavs game for a quick bite to eat and a drink. read more

Yikes. Fantastic interior and great staff - but look at the pics; they burned the last calorie out of those chicken wings! It is this new kitchen fad, where 20-something's in the back are 'trying to invent' a new item. To be 'liked'. You can just imagine the chef at Butcher: he holds the grill top handle in one hand, iPhone with instagram and his burned-to-shit black lump-wings.. eyes popping out sockets, while hoping he'll 'influence' the world! Ha! Dry lumps of coal, burned into the gutter. The wings, were a food fail! Your wings tasted like biting into a lump of coal from a fireplace. Fingers covered in soot! The food was not just black - it was so 10-minutes over-burned, I left all but one on the plate. Inedible. I had cough attacks with ash in my throat! You should've hired me - I'd teach you a few things about grills!! Quit screwin' around with 'rubs' and 'chars' that you can't pull off to save Armageddon. I mean get real! Even a canine wouldn't eat your rock wings. Waste of money, you rummies! Get all new cooks! Review: 2 read more

Butcher and the Brewer was a great spot to stop off for some shareable dishes & some delicious cocktails or brews.
