I knew I was going to love Sauced Taproom & Kitchen just from looking at the menu even before we tried anything. There's such a wide variety of options that it was honestly hard to decide what to order. I ordered the Yum Yum Melt with a side of broccoli. It was just okay for me. The sandwich was a bit on the thinner side, didn't have many onions, and it seemed like it was missing the garlic aioli. There were also no yum yum pickles on the sandwich or on the side, which was disappointing. I wouldn't order that one again. My one son got the Curd Burger with a side of mac & cheese and really enjoyed it, especially the extra flavor from the hot honey pickles. My youngest ordered the Teriyaki Bowl (chicken, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, caramelized onions, teriyaki sauce over seasoned rice) and absolutely loved it. My husband tried the Caprese Burger with a side of Cajun fries, which was another solid option and he enjoyed it very much, especially the Cajun fries which were full of flavor. He also tried two of the beers, he ordered the Wangies - a hazy double IPA and he tried the Sasquatch Sightings - Russian Imperial Stout. He said both were excellent. I was intrigued by the different pizzas on the menu, which I am excited to try next time, I love that you have the option of ordering by the slice so you can try different ones or a whole pizza. Our server, Nick, was great; very personable, friendly, and helpful with menu suggestions since it was our first visit. The atmosphere was great also. Overall, a great spot with a fun and diverse menu. Even though one dish missed the mark, we'll definitely be back to try more items! read more

Sauced Taproom & Kitchen is a casual brewery in the heart of Lakewood. I frequent this part of Lakewood and must have passed it a million times. I finally had an excuse to visit for a bookish bar crawl. I visited with a large group of book lovers. AMBIANCE: Urban brewery vibes with half brick exposed walls, wood furniture, wall of local beer plaques, and dim lighting. There is plenty of seating - a bar, high tops, and tables. On Saturday night the place was absolutely buzzing, lots of beer lovers! The space seemed equally tailored to the large groups, couples, and solo guests. My group was very comfortable despite us occupying the main space. FOOD/DRINKS: The taproom has a large selection of craft drafts, 49 to be exact! They are reasonably priced - $4-5. Some of the local brands are featured on the menu - Masthead, Bookhouse Brewing, Fat Head's, Southern Tier, and others. I wasn't in the beer mood during my visit, but my friend loved her beer choice. The menu is not limited to just beer, you can select cocktails, spirits, wine, mocktails, and more. There's something for everyone! The brewery has scratch kitchen. The menu has a lot of choices considering it's a brewery. Menu categories include pizza, salads, empanadas, wings, sandwiches, bowls, fries, desserts, kids menu, wraps, and brunch. There's a vegan section as well. Most of my bookish friends love that the menu featured pizzas by slice! I selected a bowl which seemed like a hearty fall day meal. My choice was Bourbon Chicken Bowl ($14.50). The dish was overwhelmingly spicy for my palette. My friend ordered a seasonal special (Seasonal Gnocchi Bowl) that was a lot more tasty and not spicy. SERVICE: Our group had only one waiter. The service was very impressive considering that he was serving everyone who was not seated at the bar. Every order was accurate, the service was fast, and he was super nice. For his sake, I wish for better staffing at this brewery. Everyone in my group enjoyed their experience and food! I would be back to try pizza! Oh, and beer of course! read more

Sauced Taproom & Kitchen - A plate of chicken raps - Beer Bar Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Service was wonderful. Food great. Fun atmosphere. Owners were delightful. Will definitely come back.

First time at Sauced Taproom -- solid 3/5 experience! Ambiance: Great vibe -- casual, modern, and welcoming. The lighting and TVs make it a good hangout spot for both food and drinks. Service: Shoutout to our server who was super friendly and personable! He made us feel welcome right away and offered helpful suggestions for us first-timers. Somehow the kitchen or server forgot to bring out our appetizer. Food: * Pork Sandwich was the highlight -- full of flavor and cooked just right. * Fries were a little disappointing -- cold and lacking crispiness or seasoning. * Empanadas were just okay -- they looked great but the flavor didn't quite match the presentation. The filling needed more seasoning or something. Drinks: nicely served. Overall, we'd come back to try a few other things on the menu. A few food items were hit or miss, but the service and vibe were nice. read more

A nice roomy comfortable room with both plentiful bar and table seating. Service from Nathan at the bar was perfect. Food was absolutely delicious. I had a seasonal bowl of gnocchi with pumpkin sauce, bacon, onion, and feta. Garlic bread included was great. I requested added chicken and it was moist and perfectly seasoned. Friend had Korean steak bowl that she loved. Our beer and wine were very reasonably priced. Food and drink were exceptional and pricing was low! Can't wait to go back! read more

Im going to say this place is better than even ill give credit for for the simple fact of its location. It's tough right here, high turnover rate even for good businesses. and they've been here for quite some time. Onto the real reason were all here: food, service, and ambience Food: I had the Caprese burger and it was fantastic. The Bangin Chicken sammy was, meh, at best yet got all the hype. Empanadas were all on point. Good size, dressed up nicely. Beers rotate and havent disappointed yet. No matter your pallet for brewskis, they got you covered. Service: My bartender/server was amazing. Anything I asked him he was right on top of it. Ambiance: as I said, it's in the heart of Lakewood, so there's always people watching outside going on. And the place opens up quite nicely. All the tables are good size, no cramped, seating and plenty of seating at that. I really like the vibe here and will be returning again again. read more

Came here as our Stop #1 during CLE Burger Week, and it was a great place to start! Given the Covid-19 life we are currently leading, we felt very safe and comfortable at the indoor seating just inside the wide open patio doors. Given it was Happy Hour when we arrived, we ordered our first round of drinks and some wings that were on special (five for $4). The wings with a buffalo sauce had a nice heat with crispness on the outside wings and juicy meat on the inside. The wings were not drowning in sauce, yet had the unmistakable taste of a traditional wing. After a second round of drinks, our burgers and fries arrived. The jalapeno popper burger was delicious...they told us ran 'em through a pizza oven to grill it along with the poppers on top. The T-Rex sauce was tangy and had a "bite" to it and the grilled brioche bun held up with the both that and the creamy bacon spread; what a gooey mess (in a good way!). The fry flight was a fun idea with a basket of fresh cut fries and four dipping sauces to create combinations with (garlic aioli, T-Rex sauce, red pepper aioli and a Cleveland BBQ based sauce). We like two of the four sauces. This was a fantastic start to a week of burger indulgences...and we will most certainly be back! read more

Perhaps scheduling of staff should be re-evaluated, especially on weekends and holidays. We went to Sauced on Father's Day to have two growlers filled, at approximately 12:30pm. There was ONE staff member visible. One, with several tables and handful of people at the bar. We waited 15 minutes for growlers fills-- I can sympathize with the delay, due to lack of staffing.. However, the process in which the growlers were filled and sent home was unacceptable. The beer was poured without any tubing resulting in an incredible amount of head and beer waste. We drove home (thankfully only 10 minutes) and by then the beer had settled.. our growlers were 1/2 full. We returned and the situation was rectified, but they never should've been sent off that way. read more

I've been here a couple times and every single time it's been absolutely amazing!! I've gone for the empanada and margarita specials on Wednesdays. Everyone who works here is so nice! One time, I messaged them on Instagram about a vegetarian empanada and they were more than accommodating! I salivate just thinking about this place! I've had three different empanada flavors and every single one has been delicious !!!! The only downside is that it's always so cold! Ha ha. And there's usually not many people in there. :/ read more

I visited for Cleveland Wing week. The staff was very friendly. I was able to place my to go order in advance which was very convenient. I tried two of the flavors they offered; Fancy Sauce and Cereal Crust. They both had a different taste and were good. The cereal on one gave it a nice taste. There was also a secondary flavor on it though that took the cereal taste away from it a little. read more

We went to Sauced for the first time tonight. I looked at Yelp reviews before we went and we almost skipped it because of them. But, we were pleasantly surprised. The place definitely has more of a bar (than restaurant) atmosphere. There are a ton of beers on tap, unfortunately many are IPAs. If you're into IPAs, you're in luck! They have imaginative and tasty cocktails, which were a big draw for me, to be honest. The food was NOT typical bar food. I got the chicken pesto sandwich and it was really, really good. My husband got the Philly cheesesteak and he was equally happy with his choice. The service was great and we would go back again. read more

50 beers on tap! Great selection of tasty beers, plus option to do a flight if you want to try different types. I enjoyed the Neapolitan white stout. The food menu has a wide variety of options from the pretzel to pizza slices, salads, bowls and more. I had the Basic Bowl with chicken, was tasty yet slightly spicy. They have menu options to order their way or your way where you can custom order anything. Service was efficient and friendly, food came out in a timely manner and prices are good. The Pretzel was smaller than expected and different than most pretzels maybe since it's made in house. Was tasty however. Looking forward to coming back and trying other menu options next time. read more

We were in the area to go to another eatery, but that place was packed, so we took a walk to find something else and stumbled into Sauced. It's a big, open splace with a lot of seating. I was pleasantly surprised by the tap list, and appreciated that Ohio beers were mainly represented. Food was good; service was friendly, if a little slow. That wasn't even a big deal, as I think there was only one server working. read more

I came in for Cleveland Burger Week 2020. A bit dark inside like a cave, but seats were readily available, and I had fast friendly service at the bar. I got the jalapeno popper burger $6 with a side garden salad $4. Food arrived quickly. The burger was cooked medium well, there was some heat from the jalapeno, and creamy cheesy spread (plus bacon, sauce, and arugula). I thought the burger was pretty tasty! I also really enjoyed the salad, the side portion was huge! Such a good deal. I did also try two empanadas, beef and chicken, both $2 each on Wednesdays. Meh, these just tasted off to me, not sure if it was the shell or the oil it was fried in, but I would not get these again. In the past I have tried their slices of pizza and I remember those being good! read more

After the reviews and all of the awesome pics everyone posts of their dishes, I decided to try it. They're on the pricey side however I can appreciate a good restaurant.

Hard pass on this one their takeout presentation was messy, overpriced and super small portions. read more

Sauced Taproom & Kitchen - Thursday night yumminess.... Thanks to Emmy for being the best server ever..... We had Wings, taste tester a bunch of sauces. Thus the name Sauced.... We had pizza by the slice....nice and fresh... perfect portions. We had CHEESEBURGER w/brioche, beef patty, cheddar, romaine, tomatoes, garlic aioli GFA with a side salad.....as good as it looks. We had the NEW! FRY FLIGHT ... french fry platter featuring a flight of 4 housemade dipping sauces: red pepper aioli, T-Rex sauce, garlic aioli, and fancy....... ( ate it before pics could be taken). Fresh cut fries , cooked right. Enough sauces to please everyone. Some beers were sampled All covid rules were followed and hand sanitizer was available. Only negative were the hard steel bar-stool chairs. It might be a ploy to turn tables it or resulted in some sore bums. Still would recommend this place to sit and relax. read more

we tried sauced for the first time and left very pleased with our experience. a big space with what seemed to be a local regular crowd at the bar. we found seats at the far end of the bar, which is an odd space, kind of an unfinished area. so many draft beer choices. i ordered the cheeseburger sub vegan chicken patty and the chef was so kind to ask me if i also preferred vegan cheese. alyssa was the bartender. we asked her name because we were so pleased with her kindness and service, all while managing a large busy bar area. read more

Came here on a Friday night and it was ok! The interior is just fine, they have a patio overlooking the street and are right across from Melt. Not sure what the parking situation is - we walked here. I ordered a cocktail for $8, and it was verrryyy heavy on the bourbon, I couldn't drink it. It was supposed to be bourbon, vanilla, and lemon/lime, but I couldn't really taste any other flavors besides bourbon. But they gave me a half cup of ginger ale at no cost, so that was pretty lit. We also ordered loaded baked potato fries which were not too bad! We also ordered nachos which were alright! The waiter wasn't super friendly, but he worked pretty hard cleaning up the place. It was very dead on a Friday night. I will say this place has a HUGE beer selection! All in all, an OK experience! read more

Great beer selection and delicious food. They have quite a few vegan options as well. Fantastic location right on Detroit ave. in Lakewood. Service was great. A nice chill location to meet friends for an afterwork drink. They do have happy hour Monday through Friday from 3-6 and a small patio. read more

This is a brand new place. They are a taproom and about 30 beers on tap. Many are local and they have an excellent selection. Something for every taste. They serve by the glass and in flights. They also serve food, while they don't have a large menu, what they do have tastes great. I tried the wings, pizza and salad all of which were really good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress checked back multiple times and my drink was always full. This place is open for lunch on weekdays. This place has a really cool look and the front windows completely open which is awesome. The prices are really reasonable, probably as good or better than anyplace else in Lakewood. This is a great spot and well worth a stop. read more

Sauced Taproom & Kitchen - Great local hangout with eclectic food menu and lots of local craft beers - Beer Bar Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

We came here during cleveland burger week and we have been here once before. While my burger was solid overall and cheap due to the event, the fries we paid over half our meal for, were just average. In the past the beer and other meals have been pricey. If you are looking for something filling this isn't the place. The service has always been good and they do appear to be following strict COVID-19 regulations. I do feel the atmosphere of this restaurant is a strength that they are unable to fully tap into right now due to the pandemic. Lastly, a huge positive for me is the selection of beer. They have a strong tap house with a variety of beers for any different beer lover to choose. read more

We got food on Superbowl Sunday which included wings pizza and empanadas. Very dry disappointing.The wings were all overcooked and dry. The sauces were good. Pizzawas undercooked. Empanadas cumin was overpowering. It was not busy so that can't be a reason. Great looking menu but is it any better? a dry read more

Went on a Sunday, going on the solid four rating of the restaurant. We had salads and I tried the slices. It seemed like the slices were premade, and they sprinkle bacon and a few pieces of sausage on my meat pizza slice. The pepperoni slice had approximately four slices of pepperoni. The salads were nice, good dressing. The sliced chicken was pretty flavorful and not dry. But I really think the focus is on the beer, the food is secondary. If you want a beer with some food try it. If you're looking for good food, there's way too many other good restaurants in Cleveland and Lakewood to try. Try those! read more

Can I dip the mic, or is it they should drop the mic? Why you are asking? $5 BEER! Come on a Monday and the beer is $4 with the wing special. Nope I don't eat wings but I do drink beer. Don't eat wings, no problem enjoy single piece of pizzas or empanadas for $2 on Wednesday's. The prices are amazing and so is Nathan the server that has been there every time I stopped in before and during Covid. He is fast and has a great sense for the beer selection, which is huge! The place use to be World of Beer, a ton of beer on taps. The service is great, the prices are kind and the food is delicious. Tons of tv for sport viewing and seating at the bar. Tables are nicely spaced and servers are wearing mask. They wipe down the chairs and tables when customers roll out. A must stop if in the downtown Lakewood area. Parking across the street behind the building or on the streets, free after 6pm and in the weekends. read more

This place is by far one of the best places in Lakewood. Yes, I'm serious! I've always wanted to try this place because I follow them on Instagram. So we drove over to Lakewood one afternoon and stopped in. It's quite large and open and the bar is extra long! They have about 50 beers on tap which is awesome!!!! They are great craft beers too. We got a slice of pizza, a salad, and maple syrup and cereal covered wings. All of the food was amazing! We can't wait to come back. I wish we lived closer to a place like this!!! read more

For beer selection and service, this place is 5 stars. For food, it's more like a 3. I went there on a Sunday afternoon and got some brunch omelette concoction. It was overly salty but fine. My sister got a brunch bowl thing. Both meals had a little too much going on and the portions were kinda small. I'd probably go back and try something from the regular menu as opposed to the brunch menu. As far as the beer selection goes... it was great. So many unique beers to choose from. I got the pick 4 flight and enjoyed all of them. I think they must have been featuring Platform Brewery at the time because lots of the draft beers were from Platform. Our server had a lot of knowledge of the different beers and was super bubbly and attentive. read more

Sauced Taproom & Kitchen - Pick 4 Beer Flight - Beer Bar Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I ordered takeout here yesterday to use a gift card I received from participating in Cleveland Pizza Week last year and I won't be back. I got an ABC pizza, meatball sub, chicken tenders, and a salad. To start with the positive, the server was very friendly, both over the phone when placing my order and picking it up. The meatball sub had a nice spice that wasn't too overwhelming. The tenders looked dark but tasted fine, but there were only three in the order, which felt like not much. Unfortunately, my positives stop there. The salad had a lot of soggy tomatoes and bad greens. We started to pick through and toss the bad stuff, but ended up tossing most of it. The pizza was also not good. Very sparse pepperoni and, I'm sorry, but whoever rolled the dough out didn't even care to roll it evenly. One end was very thicker than the rest and made for an uneven bake. What frustrates me more is that, when I picked up the order, there was only one other customer. I understand covid makes things tough, but why couldn't they take care with my order when they clearly weren't busy? If it wasn't for it being a gift card and basically free food, I would've called and asked for a refund. read more
