On
Market Ave in Ohio City.
Great Lakes Brewing is grandfather of Cleveland's extensive local beer scene and an institution in Ohio City. Plenty of outdoor seating, because Cleveland loves out patios. We usually take people here for a taste of Cleveland: brats, local cheese, Lake Erie walleye and perch, pierogies, and plenty of Stadium Mustard. Locally-sourced foods, which means down the block from one of the largest
urban farms in the country.
The bar at the head of the brewpub has been there nearly a century, and once was the favorite watering hole of Eliot Ness, Cleveland's Director of Security, where he undoubtedly raised a few to toast the 21st amendment.
Also unparalleled local beer. Beware of
Bessie. Or embrace her, your choice. (The eyes are kind of hypnotic.)
Promised feature in the brewpub: “Truth, Justice, and the American Ale.” Celebrating the well known fact that Superman is, was, and always will be, a Clevelander.
If you're still in town on Friday, join us there before the Indian's game!
