Brick And Barrel — Restaurant in Cleveland

Absolutely love this place. I don't think these guys even know how to make a bad beer. Forget the ambiance (although for the record, there literally is nowhere else in the world I'm happier drinking than in here... or weather permitting, out front on the patio... and I've quaffed pints all over the western hemisphere and currently reside 350 miles away in Chicago) this is all about the liquid gold.

I'd skip it and find a place where they are glad you stopped in and appreciate...

If i could give this place and the people at Brick and Barrel a hundred stars I would!

On Saturday night Cleveland hosted their Annual Hanukkah Brewhaha party at Brick and Barrel. We had over 137 people, a live band and festivities.

They allowed us creative freedom in their space and it made our event one of a kind. It's a brewery filled with delicious beer and an exceptional staff....
