Easy to find location after you decide to go to North Ridgeville. Good parking in front. Clean older building with bar and brewing equipment in the back with tables for food and beverages in the front. Standard and seasonals on tap and good selection of bottles. Freindly server and brewer with good knowledge of brews. Standard pub menu with daily special. I had a sandwich and onion rings. I will stop again if I every need to be near North Ridgeville.

Updated rating. First time was killer with the make your own pizza bar and Guitar Hero to play but now it seems they may not make it much longer. The pizza bar is closed during the week because of slow business, the tap list is ok but nothing very crazy, the house beers are solid but nothing amazing and the food is just your standard flat top greasiness. The idea is good but the location is not and it just really isn’t worth me driving out of the county when I have so much more right in Cleveland. If you live near here please support the place because it is good and the service is great mainly because it’s so slow but with gas at $4+ I’ll stick with my locals.

Tonight was the first time I have ever visited this spot and I will be back. When I approach the bar I was looking over the beer menu and was asked by a regular (who is also a brew coach) what I was interested in, he suggested their barleywine and he was right on the dot (it rocks). The service was really good, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The interior was a litlle lackluster but very clean, they need some eye candy (I’m not talking about the waitresses, they are just fine). I did not eat there but my friends who were eating there gave a thumbs up to the food (they are really picky). The selection of beer was outstanding for a place that only serves mostly their own beer, they had something for every drinker whether you like Budwieser (yuck) or Rochefort they will have something that agrees with your palate and for 5 bucks they have a nice beer sampler. I almost forgot to mention that they offer a "brew your own beer" service which I intend to try at the beginning of next month. If you are in the area give it a shot, you may be pleasantly surprised.

They’ve gotten the place up and running! The food that I’ve had has been pretty good... Although I’ve been fairly limited in what I’ve tried! The mashed potato bowl is very good! The pizza is decent (I’m a little particular when it comes to pizza). The beer selection usually has something for everyone! IPA’s, light lagers, dopplebocks, etc... Still has lots of taps, and they also have bottles adding to their selection. Guitar Hero on the big screen, corn hole on the patio, 3 dart boards... 2 steel tip, one soft tip video... (needs to have direct lighting on them), a few video games, and still very clean! They did have some issues w/ the BOP a while back, but things are straightened out now! The menu has been expanded, and I think they have their stuff together. I personally like the fact that not many people are there when I go in... But in this case, I’d be happy to sacrifice a little elbow room for more people to get in there and give the place a go!!!!!
