Boo. Went in on a Friday late june...tourist time for the strip right? We needed 4 seats. An employee was sitting at the bar after her shift. My husband moved a stool from one side of her to the other to be near us. She lets out a huge aggravated sigh. In her work shirt! Order another person in my group asks about fruity beers. Bartender, "well I don't know.." Tried ordering 2 different beers..kegs are out. I have a hard time with this. You're a brewery and you're out of...BEER? wow. Ended up with something comparable to a Blue Moon that tasted like Pinesol. Never ever again. read more

Good food, nice view.. great service Best burgers on the strip Try it you will be glad you did read more

Awesome food, superior selection of drinks, on the spot staff, beautiful sunsets, and live music! My favorite place to eat dinner at GOTL. You can't miss... read more

It is a great setting but TERRIBLE service We sat near the water. The bartender walked over to us we assumed to take our orders and said that we had to go to the bar to order. Meanwhile there were 4 other bartneders/waiters standing doing NOTHING. We went up and got our drinks and got menus. She came back to us, AGAIN we thought to take orders and said we had to get up and go back to the bar to order. NOT sure what kind of service that was????? Food was good, the locations is amazing. Went inside to use the restroom and 5 more employees standing around doing NOTHING!! What??? read more

Nice place and fun atmosphere. Love the entry bar. Service was good prices were reasonable. Worth the stop!

My friend and I went the other night, the atmosphere is very nice and open. We ordered some cocktails and water for drinks. Never got our water so we kept having to remind them about it till we finally got it. The cocktails were good but was unsure why the table across from us got way bigger cups then our dinky plastic cups because we were not aware of any other sizes. Overall the food was good and we had a good time dining here. read more

Beautiful view with service and selection to match. Highly recommend the GOTL Pale Ale if you're looking for a superb local brew. This is the place to be if you're on this side of Eerie. Locally owned and operated and the warm welcome was much appreciated. Highly recommend. A must stop if you find yourself in the neighborhood. read more

Everything about this restaurant was average and generic. On a Sunday at 7:00 pm (3 hours before their kitchen closes) we were turned away with them telling us they didn't have any more food. We tried again on a Saturday night. The inside bar was closed as they said they didn't have a bartender for the night. The service was pretty fast, but the food was forgettable. The best item we ordered was the big soft pretzel. Our waiter was friendly, but the staff seemed a bit overmatched with their duties. We don't be eating here again. read more

The best place on the strip by far! The pulled pork is really really good! We sat at the bar and our bartender, Sissy, was fantastic!! The view of the lake combined with great food, music and service really made our day! read more

Atmosphere was nice- there was live music & the back patio faces out towards the water. A relaxing view for lunch. Almost doesn't feel like Ohio! I had a chicken sandwich & my fiance had a burger. Both were great! Would recommend & go back! read more

Went for first time today.. by far the best place in geneva on lake for a great brewery made beer and amazing menu of unique items. The steamed mussel app was perfect. This will be our go to place when at genava. Awesome american ale btw. Gotl beers are as good or better than anything out there. I orderee 2! read more

Came here based on a suggestion at another local brewery. They had two house beers on tap the pale ale and lager which were both decent. Got the pulled pork nachos which were delicious. The chips had a bit of a spicy seasoning on them which in my thought definitely made the dish. The bar staff was awesome. Very friendly and a tentative to us. read more

Not at all what I expected in Gevena. The food in this area is always underwhelming. Well not now. This place will bring GOTL out of the 60s and make it a true destination place. From their craft beer , to the best mussels I have ever had this is a home run. Never come to this area to eat but that will now change , we will be back . read more

Location is wonderful, food was good. They have Yuengling beer. The servers weren't the friendliest, could be a bit more personable. They talked a lot amongst themselves. We loved the outdoor bar. Nice view. They also had live music. read more

Don't judge this spot by the curb appeal. It is a great place to eat and has wonderful view of the lake. Would definitely recommend to anyone. We went there two nights in a row read more

Awesome! We sat outside on the deck...views were great! Emily was our server and she was amazing! Lobster Mac & Cheese was to die for! Gorgonzola strip steak was delicious! We will definitely be back. read more

Went with a large group for a bachelorette, all 10 dinners were served in good timing and food was excellent. Staff was fun, very fun environment! read more

The view is beautiful, but good luck getting service. Host was not friendly, waitress never showed up at the table. We finally left. The place was totally empty too, so it wasn't that they were busy. Will never go back. We work hard for our money, when we go out to eat we expect good service. read more

We stopped for a beer at the outdoor bar. My husband waited at the bar for about 15 minutes. He made eye contact with the bartenders several times and was never acknowledged. I guess if you want to be ignored you would like this place. We weren't impressed by it. read more

Food is ok, but still just over priced bar food not really that special. .75 for a side of ranch and a bitchy waitress doesn't help either.

We found this place while exploring the strip and were drawn to the outdoor bar and patio overlooking the lake. The views and atmosphere were wonderful and the staff were friendly. The food was good, not great, but we only had appetizers and drinks. My husband loved the beer they brew there. They had 2 choices which was surprising for a brewery. We had a baby and were there early but it seems like it has a cool night life. We would return if in the area again . read more

Not many places are open to eat on Mondays for dinner, so we decided to give this place a shot and it was excellent. The service was on point, the steaks were delicious, their lager was good, and you can't beat the view! Beautiful deck and outdoor bar area. read more

After 30 minutes at the outside bar-no service. Moved to the nearly empty inside bar, 20 minutes later we were finally served overpriced Mini beers! Although there were empty tables we were told it would be an hour wait. We agreed to wait and then were informed the kitchen would be closed 1/2 hour after our seating would occur so we they couldn't accommodate us. Why didn't she say that to begin with? Horrible customer service. read more

Great food and selection of beers, was hesitant to go here because of so so reviews and the non-yelpers prevailed but at least I was pleasantly proven wrong. We had a large party and great service. read more

Horrible service. Our waiter kept asking us what seat number we were... Waited 40 minutes for drinks and the food was ehhh. I give it 1 star for the view and that's it. Not a big fan of having to remember my seat number to help the waiter. Also they didn't have their own beer. None of the staff looked happy, kind of made the whole experience stressful. read more

Really disappointed . Out of town Friends and Family get together, GOLT Brewery policy states not to sit larger parties ( over 8 ) together. They could not accomodate a 12 person sitting. A Big "Thank You" goes out to Firehouse Winery for being able to accommodate by putting 3 tables together. I am a local whom was greatly disappointed . Tom read more

I took my mom here for a birthday meal, and the back patio with the view of the lake is fantastic. I was a little disappointed that their own brews haven't been approved yet, but they have a good selection of beers from elsewhere to make up for it. We got the pretzel and beer cheese appetizers and they were amazing. Then we got the fish fry and walleye sandwiches. They were extremely good and the Cajun chips they came with were also very tasty. Their serving sizes were quite large so we both had to take some home too. Our waiter was also very nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. I would definitely recommend this to anybody in the Geneva on the lake area! read more

They gave me I head a lettuce on my Caesar salad soda water take forever for checks and food service

Brews their own beer . Only two of their own are on tap. Both are good . Nice view of the lake . Weird food service rule . You could not order sides only . We have 3 vegetarians that wanted sides . They were willing to pay more to create their dinner. They were refused and the manager was even sent over to say no . As if we were doing something totally unacceptable . So two people didn't get dinner at all and the other ordered a chicken entree just to get the sides. My son got the steak . It was not trimmed and the fat was not seared. I recommend going for the view , the beer and maybe an appetizor . Not a place to enjoy dinner. And last but not least . There was a vent leaking in the ceiling of the dining room. They continued to seat people below the vent . read more

Wife and I stopped in for our 3 year anniversary. We have stopped here many times since, and this isn't our first time we had a bad experience. We tried to stop in for dinner the other day and we couldn't. However, they were open but we were told only appetizers. Never have I been to a restuarant that is open, but we couldn't dine in for dinner. Not to mention we were the only ones there, maybe that says something as well. read more

My husband and I decided to give it another try,as we wanted to have a nice meal on the lake. I ordered the chicken tender basket with fries this time, thinking that it would be a safe option and difficult to mess up. What I received was ridiculously overpriced, disgusting, inedible, preformed nuggets of mystery meat. I could have ordered from the McDonald's dollar menu and gotten a better meal. The bill for an over cooked burger, chicken nuggets, a pretzel and 1 iced tea was $37. Our entire meal required no preparation, as it came directly from the box and into the deep fryer. The one positive from our experience was that the service was good. read more

Worse hostess, was outside waiting, no page, no calling. Even after I went back in to check. Left without eating. Beautiful setting. Too Bad. read more

Didn't get everything that the menu said we were to get and way over priced for portions. Would not return. I got the Lake Erie fish fry, and it was more of a greasy batter than fish. The chips aren't anything to rave about and a very small cup of coleslaw. It was to come with beerbread, which it didnt. The cost=$18. My husband got a delmonico, baked potato, and chips. His was missing green beans. The cost=$27. Don't bother unless you are looking to get a beer. read more

Overview: the concept of this place is spot-on, but after two visits, both of which were within two weeks of each other in July 2016, it is clear that there is definite room for improvement. I visited the second time partially out of convenience but also because I really liked the atmosphere so much the first time around, that I wanted to give it a second chance. The good: awesome lake views from the back deck, great ambiance with people and live music, the friendliness of the staff, friendly management making the rounds and attempting to make sure the wait staff is on top of things - all of this = top-notch. I would stop here for a beer/drink any day and enjoy the hell out of it. The not so good (yet) i.e. where GOTL needs to work on their game is within two key areas: the food and the service. It seems to be brand new, and the wait staff all look very young, and it's possible they are just getting their start in the biz. Great place for it of course as Geneva on the Lake is known for its seasonal spots and employing local high school kids and young adults, so perhaps it's to be expected. The wait staff needs to learn quickly how to be attentive and how to multitask. While our server was very pleasant to speak to, we waited a long time for drinks, a long time for food, and a long time for the check, and a passing hostess, when asked if she could find our server so we could get the check, responded with "well I don't know who your server is...".. Yeah. I believe this all to be a training issue. Easily fixable. The menu boasts many great items typically found in a gastropub-style restaurant with a couple local fish dishes. The first time around I tried the Lake Erie Walleye. Flavor-wise it was amazing. The downside is that it was completely full of bones. I don't think it's supposed to be like that, and I'm glad I was eating it slowly. The second visit, I tried the Yellow Perch fish fry. It was more breading than fish, and the breading was overly greasy. I got the chips as a side with BBQ seasoning. It was late in the evening, not long before the kitchen was closing, so I must have gotten the bottom of the barrel chips because they were greasy to the point of almost being transparent, and the BBQ seasoning was nothing more than a little pile of dried BBQ-flavored seasoned salt. My wife had a buffalo chicken sandwich that was gristly and almost undercooked (no no for poultry). If GOTL could just up their game in these two key areas (both equally important), this place could really help put Geneva on the Lake on the map. Come on guys I'm rooting for you! read more

Love this place!! Every time we are there, we have a great time!! Food is great! Staff, Erica and Chrissy, awesome bartenders!! The owner is absolutely accommodating, making sure our service was excellent!! Cleanest place on the strip!! We visited in April and just got back from a long weekend! We will definitely plan to stop at this place every time we are in Geneva!! read more

View is amazing, but they closed the kitchen down 2 hours early today. Frustrated we made the hour drive for a drink & staff who didn't want to be bothered. read more

Seldom do I feel the need to write a review, but my experience at GOTL Brewery this passed weekend influenced me to do so. As we walked in the, the hostess greeted us letting us know that there would be a wait. We saw 2, dirty tables, and several open tables in the back area. However, we went up to the bar to wait. After 20 minutes, the hostess went over to the tables in the bar, cleaned them off, the somewhat reluctantly sat us. Needless to say, we were already annoyed. Next, our waitress had no idea about the menu and had to go back to the kitchen 3 times during ordering to ask what things were. Not to mention, she had a poor attitude and made us feel as if we were bothering here. The icing on the cake was my friends order. She asked for no cheese because of an allergy. The pasta came out with cheese. She sent it back---her next plate came back with cheese AGAIN. We sat so long waiting for the server that my friend took it up to the server station to let them know there was still cheese on the dish. The server argued with her, telling her that it wasn't cheese, it was artichoke! Um no!! She grabbed the pasta out of her hand and stormed to the kitchen. Throughout this experience, none of us got a refill on our drinks or anything else we ask for for that matter. I was just disgusted by the entire experience. Really, really poor attitudes. I'd deal with slow service if there was even a bit of effort put forward to be hospitable. read more

If you are looking for a relaxing enjoyable day, this is the place to go. A very large selection of craft beer and the food was amazing. The inside is newly remodeled with A/C which was nice for a break from the heat or if you like to eat indoors. We sat on the deck and had the best view of the lake anywhere on the strip and the servers were very attentive. Can't wait to try their own beer on tap on my next visit. Only problem was the Prime Rib was sold out, but that just tells me I need to get there a little earlier. read more

After dining at this establishment my wife and I both really miss the place that it used to be. Just to start we were put in the dining room that is so ungodly loud with echoes that we were three feet away from each other and couldn't hear a word we were saying to each other. The waitress came by to tell us the specials not that it mattered because we couldn't hear her. We decided to head over to the bar to have dinner there so we could actually gear each other. The bartender was extremely friendly and very helpful. However when I ordered the stuffed chicken and the chicken came with a whole bunch of sour cream just slapped on the top of it under a bunch of melted cheese and nothing in the chicken I was a little curious as to why they called it stuffed chicken. However compared to my wife I got off easy. Her steak was undercooked, and her side was not what she ordered. She told the bartender that it was undercooked she wanted it well done, it came out medium rare at best. Once it came back out, which only took minutes, my wife cut into it again and it looked exactly the same as it did when she sent it back. At this point she was so disgusted she didn't want to eat here. The bartender went to get the manager who I found out that his name is AJ to cancel her food order and take it off our bill. AJ was standing right in front of us, obviously knew the problems, and didn't have the "guts" to even say anything to us, there was no I'm sorry or some kind of excuse like we have a new cook or something. This is one of the worst establishments I've ever been to just based on the management alone. It's terrible when you have someone running this that really could care less about someone's experience there or if they enjoyed themselves or not but they'll take your money and a heartbeat. The only redeeming quality about this place was everyone that works there except the cook and AJ. read more
