| - Went there yesterday with a very large group of ~20 around 5:30 on a Tuesday. I called ahead for seating and everything was ready when we got there. We were all able to sit together and even able to add seats for a few more people that came late. Our waiter was great and friendly and had no reservations about serving a large group with separate checks.
Not many of us ordered food and mainly went for drinks. I have to say, I was ready to be disappointed in the beer compared to the fine fare across the street at GLBC. But I split a sampler with a friend ($15 to try 6 of the 7 brews they had on tap). I was thankfully surprised - most of the beers were unique, high quality, and very flavorful. I especially enjoyed the Festivus, their Christmas beer which has a nice spiced holiday taste, but is uniquely different than GLBC and most other holiday brews, as was more on the scale of a golden lager. The wheat beer and amber lager are also worth noting.
Some other people in my party ordered their beer cocktails and off of MGB's select menu of beers not made there. Those were really good too, especially an Egg Nog/Festivus beer cocktail and New Holland's Dragon's Milk.
The ambiance/design of the restaurant was really nice. I loved all the CLE pride, especially the Beer-hio shirts. I can't wait to come back in the summer to go to the patio which looked really nice.
Overall, I can say this place was really nice for a large group and has excellent beer. I'm glad that this has added to the quality microbrews in Northeast Ohio. I'm in Houston now and more microbreweries are popping up there, but most have substandard brews if they were compared to all the fare up in Cleveland. I can't comment on the food, but I'd highly recommend it for a large group and good drinking!
