| - Rocky River Brewing Company is a good pic for lunch. We stopped by the RRBC on a Sunday for a bit to eat and were very pleased with the service and had a decent bar food lunch. There is plenty of parking onsite, access could be a bit difficult for some due to sloped driveway and parking lot. The vibe is right for a brewery with large brew kettles and tanks well displayed behind glass windows as you enter the pub. Nice wooden bar and tiered dinning room with lots of hard wood giving a relaxed feeling to the establishment.
There was a good crowd at the bar and in the dinning areas with a board variety of guests. Bunch of dudes watching football at the bar and several families with kids in tow in the restaurant. Seating was ample and we were far enough from the youngest dinner, some of them needing a bit of "juice" to settle them down.
We were seated very quickly on the upper tier dinning area and our waitresses was over quickly to take our drink orders, wine from my better half (she is not a beer fan) and the Coopers Klosh for me. The menu is pretty large for a pub with lots of apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers and larger main dishes. My wife went with the salmon while I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and the soup of the day, Italian weeding.
We had to laugh as I was enjoying the soup due to the music selection playing. I do love me some Jethro Tull, seen them many times in concert, but not feeling it when Cross Eyed Mary was playing overhead. Call me odd but a song about a child streetwalker is not my go to listening at lunchtime. The rest of the piped in music was all 60 &70's classic rock. The level was alright not overly load. I just
glad we were not subjected to more Christmas music!
My wrap was good with the chicken cooked through but not dried out. I would have preferred more heat but my tolerance for heat is pretty high on the scale. The portion size of the wrap was also very large. The fries were good considering they are beer battered, again a preference thing and you might like the battered fries. My wife's salmon was also cooked very well, done but not dried out. My wife was not crazy about the topping nor the balsamic glaze on the plate, stating that it was a bit more acid than needed for the salmon.
We visit the RRBC several times a year, usually for lunch. A very nice place for a good brew and food that is definitely better than the national family chains like Applebee's and Fridays.
