Whenever were in Cleveland, we frequent Ohio City 8/10 times. (Small area, wide beer selection) We are beer lovers and we were excited to see what interesting beers Nano Brew would offer. Walking in and seeing that the atmosphere had the standard Sam McNulty / Ohio City MO, I was hoping the beers would differ. True brewery style. Creative, innovative, pallate challenging. However after visiting a few times I feel like all they are is a test batch location for Market Garden. Sometimes they have something on that they're working on, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they have some stuff that they have developed for Market Garden, sometimes 95% is guest taps.
Good news is they have late-night food until 2 AM. Always a plus after sampling several beers. We had the chili cheeseburger and grilled cheesy, both with waffle fries. The grilled cheese was good. In fact they goofed up our order and brought out two in the beginning - which I wish we would've, because 1. it was good and 2. the chili cheeseburger was sooooo spicy! And I like spicy stuff!
Bartender was friendly. We were in our own conversation, but in between she would always be sure to come over and make sure everything was okay.
We'll go back again because really I have no problem with this place. I do hope they start to do some creative stuff with their beer. And bringing the ski ball machine back wouldn't hurt either! Ha ha!
