I think that the main focus of my review here will be on what I feel is most important - the beer!
There isn't enough I can say about the beer at Great Lakes Brewing Company. I am quite sure that as far as quality AND selection go, GLBC has to have one of the greatest lines of beer in the country. Now, being from Cleveland I could be biased, but I strongly believe this. The range from Dortmunder to Burning River, Eliot Ness to (the ultimate and seasonal) Christmas Ale - Great Lakes covers all the bases.
I challenge anyone to find me another brewery with as extensive a list of quality beers as GLBC. Though they are limited to their beer when visiting the restaurant or bar, that is all you really need.
If you are in town for a while, or just new to the area, I strongly encourage you to visit Great Lakes at some point soon. The Christmas Ale is fantastic, as are any of the other beers on the list.
Not to mention that they have a quality menu with many of the ingredients sourced locally as much as possible. One of my favorites.
