History

Established in 1980.

Originally opened in 1980 as The Upper Deck Sports Café in 1980 by Owner and Proprietor, Tim Riha. In 2015, Tim decided it was time to retire and passed the reigns over to new Owners, Matt Mahran, and Demra Carney. Along with the change in ownership came the change in name to what is now called «The Grindstone in Berea».

Watered down beer and liquor. Food is mediocre at best. The place may have been a little run down before it was taken over, but the six tables they replaced didn’t spruce it up that much. Last night we ordered TACOS. They came with taco sauce that tasted mysteriously like cocktail sauce. When we asked for salsa it tasted like stewed tomatoes with jalapeños. Their chefs or owners need to taste their food. Yuck. It a time where bars and pubs are known for their food. This place will not be able to compete.

The lasagne was tasty and the salad fresh, but the serving size didn’t warrant the 10 buck charge.

Don’t get yourself confused. The better Grindstone is on Front street. The Grindstone tap house has way better food and service. Don’t let Scotty D influence you. He is completely wrong. He is probably just a local guy who sits at the bar and spends his paycheck. If you want food that is compared to 5 star ratings go to Grindstone Tap house you will not regret it. Trust me! I am local from the area!

The perfect local bar/​grill…
Very impressive place, great cocktail selection, plenty of draft+bottle beer choices, excellent service by the bartenders, very good+affordable menu items. Love the gyros, chicken. Try a «stoner» specialty tanquerray+tonic… youll love it! Also ample parking and the place hardly ever closes! I saw «Grizzly» band there live Sat and the place was rocking as a concert venue too!

Nice revamp from what I have seen. A much needed face lift to a place that was stuck in the 80’s under the previous owner.
Like seriously, he told me personally he garbage picked some of the «art» on the walls
This place needed a modern overhaul, badly.
Good venue, good people.
Nice to see some life injected into the place. The building itself has always been underrated and has untapped potential. No pun intended.
Looking forward to checking it out more than I got to on my visit.
