| - If you're a beer lover, this is the place for you. The selection is the best I've seen in the Cleveland area: perhaps thirty taps (I didn't bother to count), and multiple hundreds of bottles.
I was amazed by the service. When I go out to a bar on a Friday evening, I generally expect to have a bad time, service-wise. Not here. We were able to quickly get seats, and our waitress was great. She got us our beers very quickly, and she was very accommodating when some of my friends were indecisive. As is typical for a full bar, it was loud, but fortunately I never had to strain to hear conversation at my table.
When we wanted to order food, our waitress provided us with a book of menu from a bunch of the nearby eateries. We ordered from the Eddie and Eddie's waitress who was roving through. I think it's a plus that WOB has chosen to specialize: they can provide a larger variety of beer, and the customers get the advantage of more choices for food. It seemed like the local food joints were also happy for the business, and their delivery service was faster than the table service at many other bars I've been to.
Is it cheap? YES. Is it pricey? YES. Wait, what?
For the giant selection of domestic and foreign beers, you are getting a very good price. You have the opportunity to sample hundreds of brews, many of which aren't even available at your favorite specialty beer retailer. However, if you go here expecting to pay the same amount as you pay for Bud, Miller, Coors, Yuengling or even GLBC Dortmunder at your local bar, World of Beer isn't for you. You have more options here, and many of the beers here are far more resource-intensive (both in ingredients, labor, transportation, and stocking) than others.
Was it worth it? Yes, it was.
