    Bowl Fresh Cut Fries
    Anderson R.

    So much more than a sports bar! We came here to see a friend's band play on a Saturday night during playoff season. The place was packed, yet somehow we got seated immediately and served promptly! The waiter was friendly and gave us time to look over the menu, which included standard burger and wing fare alongside elevated dishes like fried meatballs and firecracker mac'n cheese! The playoff game ran into overtime, so the band started later than expected, but we were well attended to the entire time by the wait staff and enjoyed our meals thoroughly! The meatballs were crispy on the outside but soft and juicy inside. They were served with a trio of pickled items that complimented the dish nicely! The boneless wings had a firm texture and tasted like they had never been frozen. Not sure what brand they are using, or if they are house made, but they far exceeded expectations! We will definitely return, hopefully with friends and try the rest of their adventurous menu!

    Friendly service and a variety of seating options. Food was good and a large variety. We have chicken nachos as an appetizer which was piled high huge portion served four people. The pizza was really good- better than expected good amount of cheese toppings and a bright sauce. Burger was cooked well, and was very tasty. We will be back!

    A true first for me...I had to send my food back. We had three people at our table and they brought one their food and left mine and my son's in the pass for 15 minutes. It was cold and tasteless. If you're going to pay $20+ per person, the food and service should be generally good. A little more upscale than your typical bar, but not worth the trip. Our server was pleasant enough but this is definitely on the "never go back" list.

    Came here for the first time in well over a decade this past weekend. Totally forgot how big this place is! Tons of room for people! Live bands play here as well. Plenty of drink choices, including a good selection of craft beer. The food I had for my event was buffet style but seemed pretty good and the menu looks impressive as well. Will definitely come back here again! Btw, they have a ginormous brick oven for pizza!

    Bar with live music
    Holly L.

    Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere can be found at this local watering hole. Short drive from the airport, there were lots of seating choices including roomy booths across from the bar. Basic well drinks and beers, not really a 'cocktail' place. Food comes out fast and it piping hot - pirogies were good but the potato skins are average. Generous tartar sauce with fish n chips - frozen fish but the fries were good. Live music Friday night with fun covers from across music genres including the singer donning a plastic nose and dancing atop the bar while singing The Humpty Hump. Not a date place - more a local hangout to have a good time.

    EXCELLENT food and service, stopped by before leaving CLE, Cristina at the bar recommended this sandwich - chef did an awesome job! cold beer, made-to-order food [my fresh cut fries were piping hot, served with ketchup and malt vinegar] and courteous service - would highly recommend!

    Great wedding soup with toasted bread
    Lindsay M.

    I wish I could give more stars but there were some small problems. The negatives were it took awhile for a waitress to come take our order and it took a very long time to get our food. We also were on our way to a musical at Baldwin Wallace, and one of the people in our party had to go find someone so we could pay. The positives were a great area with tons of TVs. The staff all seemed very nice! Our food was really good. We just ordered wedding soup and tater tots...both really good. The little toasted pieces of bread for the soup were great!!!

    Havent had a good pizza in a while and this was so good. Service was great, everyone was nice, I felt I had to leave a review.

    My burger... it's squashed because I ate some before the pic.
    Hector B.

    Let's start with wonderful service! I was pleased that somewhere in the United States, a restaurant knows how to treat customers! Hallelujah. A miracle. Thank you! I was impressed and pleased. The burger was awesome, and the quality of the meat was noticeable. Great local craft beer. What more could a man need? The ambiance was a sports bar, which fits. I'm really happy that I stopped over!

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    Kyle V.

    Surprisingly good food for this hole in the wall bar near the airport. We stopped in for lunch and had no problem grabbing a booth. They offered us a brunch menu but said we could order off their full menu as well. I started with the Tortilla Soup and then had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Onion Rings. The soup had the perfect amount of kick to it and the portion sizes were generous. My coworker asked what type of meat they use for their gyro and the waitress acted like it was the dumbest question she's ever heard. We were surprised by her reaction, because we have seen gyros with beef, chicken, lamb, a combination, etc. She responded with, "that's like asking if our mac & cheese has noodles...". We explained that it listed every ingredient/topping but didn't specify the meat, and apologized. The food was very good though and we enjoyed our lunch other than the server being kind of stubborn.

    The restaurant

    I searched for brunch and this Tap House popped up. Couldn't complain about getting brunch at a tap house. I believe they serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (we came on a Saturday). THE BEER For a "tap house" they didn't have as many beers as I would expect on tap. They offered a little over a dozen, including some of the standard Busch/Yuengling /Miller varieties. They also offered some craft brews, with about a third from local Ohio breweries. I ordered a flight, which comes with a selection of any six beers that you choose from the menu. The samples were generous and a great way to make a decision, since you don't have to pick just one. Chicken wings were not berry tasted. They were undercooked (a little pink inside). THE FOOD @ BRUNCH The menu had many great selections. They have many Benedict options among other things. I can't remember the name but I ordered a Benedict that came with bacon, eggs and topped with sausage gravy. It was delicious. The queso wrap was disappointing. It's basically a breakfast burrito, with eggs, cheese and chorizo sausage rolled in a tortilla shell. We were expecting crumbly chorizo but it was spiced link sausage. The gyro with eggs looked amazing. I didn't get a report from my friend on how he liked it...other than his plate was licked clean. THE WAIT STAFF The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to our table. They were a pleasure to speak with.

    The gluten free crust is NOT gluten free. It's literally cooked on a floured surface--so maybe don't advertise it as gluten free.

    Very excited to come by here with some friends for the grand opening celebration. This was one of…read morethe first times my wife and I had ventured out, and this was definitely worth the trip. Our meal opened with a salad which included dried crasins, and goat cheese. Personally not my favorite to have a version of fruit on my salad, but my wife really liked it. The pulled pork sandwich was exceptional. The dessert stood out to me, kind of a mix between the cinnamon twists from Taco Bell and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Light, airy, crispy, while not being overly sweet. Paired with the cream cheese dipping sauce this could be very addictive. Two things that made this place stand out for me came from growing up in Western New York, and finding things that can not always be found outside the 716, good chicken wings and Labatt Blue on draft. The wings were "smoke-a-fried," smoked and then fried. What they had that set these apart as the best wings I've had in Cleveland is the right amount of crispness on the outside, while still having a juicy inside. The BBQ and Garlic Parm were my two favorites. Plus being able to wash it down with a Labatt Blue made it all the better. Drink wise they had a nice craft beer selection, specializing mostly on Ohio based craft beers. They had a nice list of seasonal cocktails, that both my wife and I were pleased with. Lots of live music available, with their Facebook page frequently updated. Good food, good drinks, nice gastropub atmosphere, definitely worth the return trip out to Berea. I will definitely be back when I'm in the mood for some wings.

I'm sure it saves them a LITTLE bit of money to not order paper/cardboard bowls, but at the same time - the dip is $13! If I'm ordering it to go it should be in a bowl that is easier (and less messy) to dip the bread in. The bread is also supposed to be "grilled ciabatta" - my bread was definitely not grilled. Why not serve this dip with the same chips that are served with the buffalo dip? As a former hostess, I was also disappointed with my pickup experience. The restaurant was EMPTY (it was lunch time), there was no one at the host stand so I went to the bar to ask the bartender about my order. She asked me to wait for the hostess to clean off a table. Once again, it was COMPLETELY empty, no patron was waiting for this table to be cleaned off - but I AM here! And still, I had to wait for her to clean a table for no guests in an empty restaurant, instead of tending to me, the customer who was physically there. I have to get back to work, that's why I ordered to go, what the hell? Guests that are physically there should come first, even if my order is to go. Get it together Brew Kettle.

It's really not that far I'm being dramatic it's like max 13 min from the center by car. Anyways it is literally the cutest place inside. Dimly lit by table-side antique sconces and Christmas lights in the bar with wooden booths and chairs. Very eclectic. This felt like a special place the minute we set foot inside. The beer menu is something else you not only wouldn't find in a typical restaurant but even for a beer place. Very Belgian German vibes. I didn't even get to the best part yet believe it or not. They are very vegan and vegetarian friendly. So many things on their menu can be made vegetarian or vegan. Like things I've never seen before like TOFU SCHNITZEL. Holy shit. But then you think about it and are like why have I never seen this before? It can't be that hard? They also have a meat free version of the allegedly local favorite sauerkraut balls which was an absolute must. There were just so many things we wanted it was hard to choose. Other than the balls, I was very interested in the vegan sausage and the Reuben (on literal potato pancakes) that can be made vegetarian or vegan without the corned beef but ultimately could not pass on the tofu schnitzel which came with a starchy side (I went with the spätzle obviously) and a veggie side (I went with the kraut.. obviously) and GF the Reuben with a side of fries. To take home for later, the spätzle appetizer and the pretzel. We also ordered beers, needless to say. I tried a cider that was incredible. One of the best ciders I've ever had. Everything was incredible. The kraut balls, actually spicy kraut balls per their menu, were so good. I was bummed there were only 4. I feel like there should be at least 6. I'll pay more. The dipping sauces were really good too. One was a curry ketchup type thing and the other was a cheese that was fabulous. Tofu schnitzel was breaded to perfection with a very crispy exterior. They used a nice, thic slab of tofu. Given the schnitzelness of it they probably could have gotten away with something thinner. They had a mushroom gravy which was nice for the vegans. The kraut was typical kraut. The spätzle slapped. I love those little pasta dumpling dough pieces. What a nice texture. GF's fries were salted perfectly and crisp. The pretzel was softer and lighter than usual. The cheese spätzle was better than sex, earth shattering ecstasy. So yeah it was pretty good.

Real old-school bar vibe. Really liked it. Lots of wood paneling and vintage stuff on the wall. Great German beer selection and I had a draft I never had before. Really good. Ordered 'build your own Schnitzel'. Picked the veal, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Had the veal topped with 'Oscar', crabmeat and asparagus. Delicious...veal was crispy and tender, sauerkraut had the right amount of bite and mashed potatoes were solid enough. Topped with paprika gravy. Food was very good. All in all a really good place. Food was great, service was fine, maybe a little cold and not particularly friendly, but good enough. I am new to neighborhood but this is the kind of place I could see myself coming to often.
