Service was very good. Went on a Saturday night and it was very crowded. Making a reservation is wise.
Food was nothing to write home about. Standard bar food. Onion rings were not homemade, boneless wings were sitting in grease, and the burger was the best part of my meal.
And finally the BEER! Coming from Denver(beer Capitol) I had hopes this would be good beer. I was disappointed. I had 2 IPAs and 1 PA and both were lacking flavor and were not very hoppy at all. Tasted more like traditional ales...
I hate to write bad reviews but for the price of the beers I was hoping for good. Fail.
My wife and I went there for dinner. Â We had been there a few times. Â We were surprised that they no longer had a full menu. They are focusing on their brews and have a small menu of appetizers and sandwiches. Â I had the Pub Boy with Maple Beer B Que Pulled Pork. Â It was very good and somewhat different. Â My wife had the boneless wings with the same Maple Beer B Que sauce. Â Those were quite good also. Â The service was a little on the slow side, and we had to go up to the bar each time we wanted to order. Â We had the homemade bread pudding for dessert and it was excellent. Â I had the Ironworker IPA and the Dark Sky Stout. Â Both were very good. Â Overall, it wasn't what we originally expected, but it was pretty good.
Review Source:A few weekends ago, the boyfriend and I were out doing fall stuff (pumpkins, taking a day trip in the country side, the good things in life). We wanted to watch the Browns game, so we stumbled upon this little brewery. Private brewery with some pub food is always right down my alley. They were out of the maple porter (which seems to be their anchor beer), so I tried the pumpkin beer. I forget what style of beer it was, but it was okay. The food prices were high, and the portions were small for the quality we got. My burger (the big beer bq) was lukewarm and well done (when we were asked, I said medium rare). Fern got the buffalo mac n cheese which was also just meh. I guess we were a little more enchanted with the place because the Browns won, but on our way home we both felt sick to our stomachs. The only reason for the second star is because the server was nice and I liked my beer, but Chardon BrewWorks, you can do better.
Review Source:Wow . . . Worst service we've ever had. EVER! it's not the bartender's fault, but wow this is just BAD. we got here at 4p. Ordered at 4.10p. Didn't get our food until after 5p! We ordered two chicken sandwiches. My boyfriends ordered one with no cole slaw on it. 55 minutes later, we get our food and his has slaw on it. Cook says it will take ten minutes to get another CHICKEN SANDWICH. my boyfriend liked the beer, but it is definitely is not worth it for the horrible service that you will get here. Wow. That's all we can say.
Review Source:We checked this place out on Saturday for dinner and a few brews. The menu is limited as far as entrees go but the burgers and sandwiches have quite the offering. A lot of the meals have a suggested beer paired with it and some are cooked with their beers. Prices are right and in line with most other pub style places. The upstairs loft bar is intimate and trendy and definitely the place to dine if it's just the two of you. You can try testers of the beers they offer for just $1.50. The beer selection is nice offering something for every palette, stouts, ipas, and the lighter choices. I enjoyed a pint of the honey cranberry and he had the working mans ipa as well as there christmas ale. The atmosphere is lacking something in the dining area but i cant put my finger on it, in time it will grow I'm sure. We will definitely be back with some friends to check it out again. The staff was helpful in the selection of both food and drinks and were quite friendly. This is something the Chardon square was lacking for a long time and I'm happy to see a place like this bring something to the small town.
As an update, we were there on a Saturday night, service was super slow and the bartender a bit rude. This was unfortunate because we brought another couple with us and they were disappointed. The food was good and beers were okay but nothing that took us by storm. My suggestion, stay away on the weekends, this place is too small to deal with a bigger crowd. Bumped down to three stars :(
My wife and I checked this out Saturday night. Â I'd say it was good, but not great.
She had the BBQ Chicken and I had the bratwurst. Â The BBQ had a nice sauce, but the chicken was a little dried out. Â The brats were good, but again not great. Â I tried their Working Man's Ale (or something like that) she had a gin and tonic. Â Again, a good beer, but not fantastic. Â The service was good and there was a little three piece band mostly playing Rock & Roll and they were rather fun.
I'd go back, but I wouldn't rush back or travel great distances for it. Â But a nice addition to Chardon Square.
