    Pizza with onions peppers, sausage and pepperoni
    John B.

    Food was great. Had one of their make it yourself pizzas which I will now make a staple when I travel to Toledo. Their cider on tap was nice and fruity just like I like it. Their cider service was honestly lack luster and I would have given them a three. My waitress didn't write down my order then couldn't remember it so she had to ask it again. She forgot to get my drink. Etc. just lots of little things. It's the only reason this place got four instead of five stars. Five star food three star service. A bit on the pricy side overall.

    Stubborn bros gave us the wrong pizza and it was burnt. So here we are!

    I had looked at this place before and it just didnt seem impressive to me. Well do to circumstances we ended up here tonight. Located in downtown Toledo across from the ball park in the Dora. They have a small area to eat outside, a small dining and bar area and a back room with pinball. My expectations were kinda low if Im honest. Our waitress was cute as a button and did a good job. They were slammed while we were there. I ordered gin and elderflower cocktail, it was very good and only cost $8. A lot of breweries dont have liquor licenses so I wasn't expecting cocktails. We had the design your own pizza with bacon jam, pineapple and onions. It was delicious and just enough for two people. We saw several tables order the sausage sampler and it looked very good. We may try it on our next visit because we will definitely be back. Our only complaint is there was a hair on our pizza (which seriously seems to happen a lot to us) I just picked it off and it was VERY VERY loud in there. Four stars!

    Greek Pizza, Whiskey Sour and Old Fashioned!

    We had the whiskey sour, old fashioned, wild game board (not pictured), smoked wings (spicy garlic sauce is phenomenal), and Greek pizza. I'm typically not a fan of thick crust pizza but, this one is to die for. Amazing!!! Thank you!

    I love that Detroit style pizza has been popping up everywhere. My husband and I split: - Cheese & Truffle Bread - The Italian - The Gatherer All of it was good. I can't pick a favorite between the pizzas because surprisingly, they tasted almost the same. This was way too much food. The pizzas are huge and the cheese bread is the size of another pizza. You can split one between two people.

    Pepperoni pizza, cheese bread, wings

    Detroit style pizza was excellent as were the wings and garlic bread. Can get loud when busy but worth it.

    Peperoni and mushroom Detroit style pizzs

    My wife and I stopped in here shortly after they opened in downtown Toledo. They happened to have a pizza special that night and we ordered a peperoni and mushroom pizza. The pizza is 10x14 in size and was plenty enough for the two of us. It had amazing flavor and the staff was friendly. I recommend this place while in the downtown Toledo area.

    We came here for the pinball, so I haven't tried the beer (not a beer fan)…read more The space is pretty cool as I t's in a basement of a large distillery and the bartender was really nice. They had a small but very tasty sounding menu so we will have to come back and try the food. I wish there were more TVs to be able to watch the game.

    UPDATE: With the addition of FOUR cool-as-shit pinball machines, HEAVY Beer Company has earned a…read more5th star! (The beer, however, is still a work-in-progress.) Now back to our previous review... I love everything about the HEAVY Beer Company...except the beer. The location:  It's in the basement of Toledo Spirits...walk in the front door, immediately turn left, and go down a short flight of stairs).  There's plenty of parking in the private lot.  Is Heavy Beer Company a completely different business from Bellwether/TS?  I'm pretty sure the same guys own everything in this building.  Can you get food or cocktails from upstairs while you're in the basement drinking beer?  I don't know, and I don't really give a shit.  Can you get Heavy beer while youre upstairs at the Bellwether?  Maybe, maybe not.  Just think of it as a different place. The atmosphere is fantastic.  Very comfortable.  It's upscale and clean, but not sterile.   Food:  The only thing on the menu is the Toledo Hot Beef Sandwich.  What is a Toledo Hot Beef Sandwich?  Don't think Red Wells, think Chicago Italian Hot Beef.  I really liked it.  10 bucks might seem a little expensive, but I felt very satisfied after eating it, knocking off a bag of chips, and draining a pint Volcana (tart melon gose).   The optional au jus adds a nice salty flavor to the meat and roll.  Speaking of meat and bread, the ratio of meat to bun is excellent.  Too much bread spoils an otherwise good sandwich; that's not the case with Heavy's THBS.   Add the pickled veggies to the sandwich to get a little more kick.  It could be, in my opinion, a little spicier. BEER:  I've tried everything they have, and so far, the beer has been very average, even a little disappointing, especially when compared to some of T-Town's other local breweries.  I will say that batch 24 and batch 26 of Heavy's IPA tasted MUCH better than the first few batches that I tried.  Hopefully, the BEER (at Heavy BEER company) will continue to improve; I suspect that it will. We're going with 4 stars for now, but if Toledo Spirits and the Bellwether are any indication as to what these guys can do, we'll probably be adding a 5th star soon enough.

    HEAVY Beer Company - This is a very comfortable bar, with some cool things to look at.  5 stars for atmosphere.

    Received an invite to attend the Inside The Five Food Truck Soft Opening at the Fieldhouse. The…read moreeven was on Sat and Sun only. The weather was quite nice Sunday afternoon, so we decided to go and check things out. We ordered a flight of crafted brews: Blimey; Big Fat Boss Baby Mocha; and two Student Body Right and our food choices (limited menu for the soft opening). Because it was so nice out, we decided to occupy one of the tables in the "courtyard" area near the IT5 Food Truck. It did take long and I received a text message indicating our food was ready. We had a Mushroom Swiss Smash Burger w Fries and Chicken Tenders w Cole Slaw. Both food items were very good. The chicken tenders were tender and juicy. The smash burger was done to our liking. Fries were made while we waited. We had been to the Fieldhouse a couple times, but we did not know there was a fire ring set up "in the back 40". Nice touch. Maybe IT5 will utilize some of the additional space out back for more than one food truck? Time will tell...

    Alright inside the five. I have never been a big fan of their beer but for an ipa drinker like me…read moreits decent. Huge parking lot around the back and around the corner from the university. If it had been there when I was in college we would have been here. Great space inside with an upstairs that seems to get rented out for private parties but no worries because they have an awesome outside patio with cornhole etc outside. Food trucks good selection of beers galore. Along with quick friendly service. I get a wave from most of the bartenders because I been here a time or two. ;). Did I mention they do a lil farmers market thing from 11-3 on Sundays on the patio? I love new places. Eat your heart Earnest Brewery. There's a new sheriff on the south side.
