| - I'd lean more towards a 3 1/2 stars, but the general friendliness of the staff (our server was great) and atmosphere of the place makes me choose 4 stars since I don't have that option.
I'm from Chicago and visit my bro in Cleveland on occasion, and love checking out local breweries and brewpubs, so this place was a natural choice.
Built in an old brick building, the WBC is nice and spacious, with seperate dining areas as well as a bar area that faces the brewing equipment; I always dig seeing what the brewers are working with. We had just recently eaten lunch, so we kept it to pints, and a little later the appetizer sampler just to see what kind of food they were working with.
The beers were pretty solid, and reasonably priced. I think the Bitter they had on special may have been a bit off, but the IPA was great, and the Pale Ale was tasty. The Blonde was expectedly tasteless (gotta have an option for the Macro crowd, so I don't hold it against 'em). All in all, our group was satisfied.
The food was pretty good too, I dug the Buffalo Chicken Egg rolls, they were a lot like Hopcat's in Grand Rapids, MI. Again, we didn't get much of a taste of that though.
Plan on hitting this place up again when I'm in Cleveland area again just to see if they can make a decent entree, and enjoy that IPA and some newbies as well.
