This place is not worth your time. The house beers are crap at best. I am sorry but they are catering to the "meat heads" that frequent that area. You wan to go there and see ripped jeans and Infliction T’s that is your place. If you want to go there for good beer....please avoid. But hey Sam is opening a new Nano Brewery that is gonna use Cardamom....

This is much better than the Great Lakes across the street. Run by the same people who operate the Bier Market the selection is very inclusive from sessionable IPAs to big winter warmers. The atmosphere is what you would expect for a high end brewpub as are the prices. That is the only downside if you are used to typical Ohio pricing for a pint - except at happy hours pours start from $5.00 and up.

Parking can be a problem depending on time of day but if you can get it there is a free lot a few blocks away. I look forward to visiting this place again to do a true flight of their taps ($15 for seven).

(Visited 07/2011): Market Garden is located in the Ohio City area literally right around the corner from Great Lakes (side note: I asked one of the bartenders if they considered it a slap in the face that another brewery opened so close, but she said the more the merrier). The brewpub is located on W 25th and Market. Parking is typically scarce in the surrounding area. The interior is open and clean looking, with 2 different bars in different sections. Communal benches throughout. The front bar is where I posted up, and it features an L-shaped bar, chandeliers and a "Beer" sign made out of light bulbs. The beer list consists of around 20 taps, 8 of which are house beers and the rest guest taps. Market Garden’s beers are available in a $15 sampler and include a Pils, Wheat, Scotch, and Fuggles IPA. All of the beers are decent. They also have a selection of bottled beer, including "large format geek beers". Service at the bar on a weekday evening was good. The bartender was friendly and well-versed in their beer. I did not try any food on my visit, but the pretzel appetizer the couple next to me got looked delicious. Overall this is a nice addition to the Cleveland beer scene. Another side note: Kenny Lofton was in the house during my visit.

Huge space with two bars and tons of seating. Had about 8 of their own beers and a decent guest selection. Prices were high - $7.50 for a Great lakes Christmas Ale? Why? I can get it two dollars cheaper right across the street in the brewery. Growler prices are insane also... for mostly average beer. The five beers I tried were average to bad. Service was ok, but i saw plenty of staff standing around talking. This place has potential, but not worth going very often right now.

Really cool vibe in this place. Very big, two bars with a bunch of TVs, sort of a modern warehouse sort of theme. Very hip. Great service. Wide variety of beers. About 10 house brews and 10 or 15 more guest taps. The house beers were not great. The amber ale was good, but the scotch ale was bland, the wheat was watery, and the pale ale was under-attenuated with hints of diacetyl. The guest taps were mostly local goodies, with a few Brew Kettle and other beers. We had already eaten dinner, but the food looked so darn good we went back Sunday morning for the Browns brunch, and had some awesome fresh omelets and amazing homefries with our 11 am beers. I really dug the atmosphere here, my favorite from my brief trip to Cleveland. I will definitely be hitting them up for dinner if I ever return. It’s almost a shame they’re already so popular, as they may be loath to change their subpar beers.

Great Place

$12 for a 6-beer sampler. $6 pints. That sort of says it all right there. Very new place, so they may work things out. But they’re certainly drawing in the crowds. Came on a Friday night, sat at the bar with friends, and often had problems getting any kind of attention from the bartender. It gets a really mixed crowd, likely spilling over from the perpetually-packed Bier Market across the street as well as from Great Lakes. They had a number of house beers, having added a few very recently, including a black IPA, which was very good. I wasn’t particularly happy with the wheat or the regular IPA, although I do like their name for it, "Clusterfuggle." Also about six guest taps, all very good, but nothing to get too excited about. There are so many places in Metro Cleveland that it’s hard to get anything noteworthy, and this is not a noteworthy place. I would definitely choose Great Lakes.

Very large --- Two huge bars and a large outdoor patio. Great food and Great beer. This is a huge addition to the Cleveland beer seen.

I visited this establishment this past Saturday night. I made a reservation using open table. Valet parked. So this seems more like an upscale brewery to me than the usual brewpub. We were seated next to the bar. I asked if we could be seated on the patio and was told that was first come first serve and there was a wait time any where between 30 minutes and 3 hours if people just sit there and don’t leave. We took the seat by the bar. Funny thing about the patio. There were half a dozen tables out there with wooden reserved blocks on them. I had a reservation, too. Guess I wasn’t good enough to sit out there. I ordered a beer sampler. Most of the beer on the menu here are about 5-6% ABV. So mostly session beers. None stood out. The beer here is pretty boring actually. The IPA was not hoppy, the stout one dimensional, and so on. Best beer of the bunch was the Brown ale. I’d have that one again. I ordered the pork tacos to eat. All the food is ala carte. So we shared a pretzel first. Which was very good. And the tacos were outstanding. Overall, the place had a nice stuffy upscale vibe to it. The beer was boring. Food was outstanding. If I choose to go back it will clearly be for the food. Not the beer.
