We've got ourselves another contender, Cleveland! The Butcher & the Brewer opens to the public on East 4th Street this Friday and I'm so excited for this addition to the neighborhood! Again, through my amazing friends, I was able to attend the soft opening of one of the finest new restaurants in Cleveland. This place will eventually function as a full restaurant, brewery, butcher shop and Speakeasy.. I'm sure I'm missing something else - these people are that cool! They've got all they need for a successful business in downtown Cleveland - good food, fresh-brewed cold beer, genuine service and an amazing space that will wow Clevelanders and any guests we bring with us. My friend and I split the bacon wrapped dates, fresh baked pretzel and the spicy kimchee wings. The whole menu looked delicious so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more. I'll keep you all posted as I continue to visit - this place is so cool I can't wait to go back!
