The Market Garden Brewery

I shared the the mussels michelada with my husband. The mussels were fresh and the tomato broth with fresh herbs and hops was delicious. The only thing we would have liked better would be if the chorizo and shrimp were added to the broth just before serving. Those two ingredients seemed over done. Bread served with it to soak up the delicious tomato broth would have been appreciated. Our server Bobby was very friendly and attentive without hovering. We shared the Cubano sandwich as well. All the ingredients were perfectly balanced for a very enjoyable savory sandwich. We highly recommend it.

I’ve only been here for drinks a handful of times, so finally came for dinner. They allow dogs in both the back and front patio areas! My lil pup pup was so comfy and just chilled while we had some drinks and dinner.
I had the beet salad — really good. Shared the peach and brie flatbread with friend — didn’t think the pesto would go well with peach, but it was pretty darn good. I also had a pear cider — that was delicious.
Came here on Tuesday night around 8:30, not too many people, so service was quick.
Definitely recommend.

The beer was pretty good and pretty good food. The table service can be a tad bit slow in my first experience but nothing too bad. They have their own beer which is really good and also have bottle of other craft beers that are always good selections as well. Great when you can get out on the patio and have a great ti. e Cool place I will return in the further

Saturday nights in Ohio City are busy. I get it. I’m not 21 with a perky bustline or a man bun. I get it. But my money is just as green, you know? Went here and had my companion go in and ask if they allowed dogs on the patio. Sure, no problem. We sat out there for half an hour with no attention from anyone despite there being a table of said perky bustliners behind us who saw a server — or some sort of attendant, several times. When I went back in to ask how long it would be before we got some service, a young waitress told me they don’t have any servers. When I questioned this, she said something to the effect of when they don’t have a hostess at the front counter, you have to come in and go to the bar — I guess either to place an order or to tell someone you’ll be sitting on the patio and will need service.
Either way, I said to her that it would have been nice if «Yes, we allow dogs» guy would have informed us of this strange procedure instead of I guess assuming we were just there to sit for awhile.
After this and the over-​salted food, I won’t be back. We wound up going to GLBC as they do allow dogs on the patio and value attentive service.

Before you die, put MGB on your bucket list or just sign their iconic wall outside, but BYOC: bring your own chalk. This iconic neighborhood restaurant will lighten up your day, everyday. The appetizers are my absolute favorite, especially the mussels, pretzel bread and Cesar salad.
The outdoor seating is intimate and cozy with the heated fireplace, outdoor hanging lights and bar stool seating. Whether you come during the day, out for a night on the twin or to meet up with your family, you can do it all here.
Did I forget to mention they are a microbrewery too? Amazing! Try it all here and never miss out again.
Bathroom tip: through the front doors and it will be on your left hand side before the next room.

Went to eat for a late night dinner and watch the game Cavaliers vs. Raptors. They had a great outdoor seatings; pretty spacious enough that even with the game on from the TVs, everyone can still have decent conversations without yelling across tables and stretching out their ears.
We ordered mussels and pork sliders. We were told that the food will take about 30 min upon ordering. It’s always nice to be informed of the time if it’ll take longer than usual. The tomato sauce of the mussels were filled with seafoods such as shrimps and more mussels, which was awesome. The pork sliders were delicious as well.
I can’t say much about their drinks. I had a sip of a beer but don’t recall which I had nor anything special about the taste. But then I don’t know much, if not anything, about beers.
Overall, nice place to hang out with friends over some good food and drinks on a Friday night.

Continuing to enjoy some of The Forest City’s beers, I stopped at Market Garden and nabbed a quiet table in the back. Well, it was mostly quiet until the sports on the big screen started to get interesting and the bros started getting deep into their beers. Well, that’s part of the show, right?
Terrific selection of local beers here and some macros, but I stuck to the local stuff. Yes, please. Good service from my waitress who was happy to keep me hydrated with beer.
I also got something to eat to go with that beer. Their Turkey Reuben is a winner. Grilled, loaded with sliced turkey and Swiss cheese and Russian dressing (and pickles?), it went down a treat. The fries were decent though not great. A good portion, but a little floppy and not quite as hot as the sandwich. Still, quite good.
Neat spot to get some beers and some grub. Me likey!

Worst experience i had during my time in cleveland. Hands down no questions asked, let me start this experience. After many locals tell me to eat here because of the food and great service i take my über from downtown here. I walk to the door and stand at the host/​hostess for 15 minutes before i get tired of waiting to be seated when they had seats at the bar and other tables.
I sit down, almost immediately greeted with hey there – thats it. Another few minutes go by and a young man says what will we be having, told him a crown and coke and since i had to look up the menu online i ordered the brisket burger, cooked medium. He typed it all in on the computer, before i even got my drink he brought the bill and said that’ll be 22.68. I was shocked. I was like i haven’t even gotten my food or drink yet, why do i have to pay, what if i desire to have another drink. Direct quote, he stated do you have a point or are you going to pay. I gave him my card reluctantly, but i was really wanting to see if the food was as good as the locals said.
So i get my drink, not a standard 1.5oz pour closer to a .75. Ok, not a big deal, get halfway done when the food comes, it got tilted towards me and slid across the bar as he said there ya go. Walks off… not to get napkins, silver ware or ask if i needed anything else to drink. So I’m eating my food, looking at the 6 bartenders trying to get someones attention to get a glass of water and napkins to no avail.
I’m now ¾ done with the burger, and really happy i didnt bring up the fact it was cooked well done, not medium like i asked because at this point, i have no faith or trust in this place. Ii reach over to the stack of two coaster napkins and attempt to use them to wipe my hands so i can sign the check and fill in the tip amount because nobody deserves to go without, but as i was signing a young lady came up and said finally finished? —i said yep, wheres the bathroom i need to wash my hands because there’s no napkins… she wouldn’t tell me told me to sit down she will get some. I said fine, out of hospitality.
Not once was i asked how my food was, if i could get another drink or anything else. Honestly 40 minutes of being ignored like i had leprosy branded on my head. I walked and and didn’t look back and most certainly will not be back.

It’s really a shame, this is the second time here in a year. The first time they warned us it would take 45 minutes to get our food so we left and went elsewhere. This time they did not warn us.
Came for lunch on Memorial Day and ended up waiting 45 minutes for tacos and a burger that came out cold. We asked for our lunch at about 30 minutes and of course we heard the kitchen is slammed excuse. Really? Please be more creative when explaining slow service. This is not your first Monday Holiday being open.
The worst part of this story is no attempt at any reconciliation or empathy from the waiter. A comment about making sure the kitchen gets it fixed then a full priced bill. No manager, no interest, no tip.

Started with a flight of beers from the brewery. All were delicious!
The pork tacos were filling and well prepared. Will visit again when I return to the Land.

Love this bar in Cleveland! They have a variety of house made beers that are really good and a full bar! The back patio is also great because they heat it, which is good for Cleveland’s ever changing weather.
Also make sure you get a picture in front of the beer and spirits signs indoors! They also have a mural they change out on the side of the building that you need to take a sneak at (before I sign sign, reasons I’m Cleveland mural, etc)

I went here after a trip to the West Side Market. Up until then, I had only had a few drinks at the Market Garden Brewery, so I was ready to taste the food. It was so good — I only wish that I had not eaten as much at the West Side Market so I wouldn’t have been so full. The service was great. I was really impressed because our waiter was working as a bartender as well, and it was crowded. But we did not have to wait for anything. I only wish it hadn’t been raining so that we could have sat on the patio.

Stopped in to The Market Garden Brewery yesterday on our Saturday bar crawl in Ohio City. We ordered some of their tasty beer and some poutine. The beer was really excellent. It was some of the best I’ve had in recent memory. I really liked the Wallace Scotch Ale. It had a sweet flavor to it that I really liked.
We also ordered poutine for the first time ever. I’ve seen this dish featured on several TV food shows. While it’s not healthy, it’s quite tasty and filling. Poutine is comfort food. It was a shareable dish and the portion was large. We didn’t finish it, but we made a nice dent.
I can’t wait to visit again for a full meal.

Continuing the exploration of Cleveland area breweries, I stopped in at Market Garden Brewery one evening to check out their beer selection and have a flight of Ales.
Parking is somewhat difficult. I found a lot out behind their street, and it was packed on a Tuesday evening! But I did manage to snag the one open parking spot!
Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. No one was on the outside patio when I arrived, it was pretty chilly outside. They did have a fire going in the outside fireplace — but no one was taking advantage of it.
I ordered a flight of four ales — all IPAs!
Citramax IPA (6.7.% ABV)
Hellamango IPA (5.4% ABV)
Trouble IPA (8.0% ABV)
Cluster Fuggle IPA (6.5% ABV)
I enjoyed the first three IPAs — all used various «hoppy» hops — where as the Cluster Fuggle is a mix of English and American hops — it was an okay Ale but not as good as the more pronounced citrusy/​piney/​resiney ales.
Service was very good and the place was fairly busy for a Tuesday evening!

I’ve been here a couple times and left each time with the same opinion «Eh, it was okay». Granted I have come here mostly for lunch or brunch and not dinner so that may sway my view slightly.
Service here has been good each time I’ve visited. The hostesses are friendly and great you when you walk in, which is a major pet peeve of mine when they don’t. The servers are communicative and rarely disapear on you. Both positives. Décor is hipester trendy, with the reclaimed wood tables, decorative wood walls and large vintage neon signs. It’s a fun place to hang out and people watch.
Based on the previous 2 statements this should be a ⁴⁄₅ star review. However the food is what brings this review to 3 stars. I find the food on their brunch/​lunch menu to just be OK. Nothing stands out as amazing to me. Their smothered and covered can be a tad too salty and have under cooked eggs. The chicken and waffles are good, not outstanding. The quinoa burger is bland however the Al pastor taco’s are very good. The ham and egg benedict is okay, a little under cooked in the egg department. I know everyone has different tastes, however when I get a sunny side up egg I prefer just the yolks stay runny — not the whites as well. I remember really liking the scotch eggs however I didn’t see it on the Brunch menu this past weekend. The Bloody Mary was good (spicy and strong) and the mimosa flight is always tasty.
Which brings me to the main reason for the 3 stars… has the brunch menu changed recently? I remember there being many more breakfast options than my recent visit. What happened to the omlets or scotch eggs from the brunch menu? The menu this past weekend was much more lunch orientated at 11am than brunch. There was maybe only 5 or 6 brunch-​ish items (smother and covered, ham and eggs, chicken and walffles, breakfast burrito, regular pancakes/​waffles).
Overall, it’s not a bad place. The brunch menu is just really lacking and I probably wouldn’t visit again unless they get a new menu.

Market Garden is so reliable, and I mean that in the best way possible. This place never lets me down. It makes me so happy to have a neighborhood staple that never fails on awesome eats, excellent service, and a chill atmosphere.
To begin, I LOVE their patio. You really can’t beat the outdoor fireplace, twinkle lights, and backdrop of the West Side Market. The ample parking in the West 25^th lot doesn’t hurt, either. It’s an agreeable place to meet friends or have a date night. Market Garden is the perfect balance of hip but not overrated, and poppin’ but not obnoxious. I love coming here to watch CLE sports, and I always find myself here munching on their excellent tacos and watching the game.
Recently, a few of my sorority sisters and I did a beer testing. We took private tours of the brewery, and had a generous sampling of some of MGB’s quality beers. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, and the selection offered was outstanding. I would highly recommend to anyone!

I feel like Market Garden is a welcome addition to the Cleveland Food Scene. Yes, it’s loud. Yes, it’s packed. Yes, the beer is different from some of the other places in the area. (That’s because it’s freshly made.) This continuation of an attention to quality and excellence is exactly why Cleveland is getting serious attention as a food destination.
Don’t expect this to be your typical sit-​down dining experience. I’ve read a lot of reviews that approach this like it’s any other restaurant. This is a beer garden. It’s meant to be a social experience. It’s lively and changes depending on who else is there. The menu reflects this beautifully. Portions that are big enough to share, some great choices for finger foods, and of course, the beer. The beer is incredibly well done and is flavorful, crisp, and fresh. The burgers are also a favorite, but a bit of a commitment at ½ pounds. Come hungry, (and thirsty!)
4.5 stars!

Great place, always packed and packed with a great atmosphere. Any type of perogie is a good choice along with the tacos too. I wouldn’t say this is a place to go and eat a full dinner but a wonderful stop during your night for appetizers. Service is quick, waitresses polite and flirtatious and overall a great place to go.

Few breweries try let alone succeed in producing an authentic hefeweizen, and Market Garden certainly does. We were impressed and pleased with every aspect if the place, from décor to the presentation and flavor. The beer menu is excellent– few offer such a variety and fewer do lagers well. Our meal was equally well done and service was perfect. This will be a destination whenever we’re in town.

I was able to return here for lunch on my most recent visit home. My second experience was even better than the first. I love the vibe, service, beer, and food here.
First, for a downtown restaurant/​brewery the parking is a breeze. There is lot behind the building and a lot across the street near GLB as well. Second, the building is huge so even on a busy afternoon we were able to get a table without a problem. There were even large groups arriving to find tables without a problem.
They are a brewery first so let’s start there. The beers are awesome. We started with a beer flight and all four beers were very good. My husband commented that it was the best flight he has had. Usually there are some winners and some losers, but here they were all winners.
The food could trick you into thinking that this is their primary business because it’s so amazing. Fortunately, good beer doesn’t mean a compromise on the food quality.
Of course I started with the Chorizo Cheddar Pierogies because I enjoyed them so much last time. They lived up to my memory of the deliciousness. I also ordered the Fall Squash Salad which was more of an entrée than a starter because it was a hearty salad. This was a delicious salad with a nice combination of squash, greens, grapes, blue cheese, and vinaigrette.
For lunch I had the Chorizo Mac & Cheese. I expected a fancy restaurant portion, but this was huge. It definitely had the cheesy, salty, meaty flavor that I expected. I like kale, but this didn’t seem like it belonged in this dish. It created a weird texture and the dish would be best without it. My husband had the Ohio Beef Burger and loved it. The fries tasted like they were homemade.
I only wish I had been able to find room for dessert. This spot is definitely on my list for spots I must visit when in town. Great spot, great food, great beer, and great for Cleveland!

Is there a ‘0 Star’ option?
Visiting from California. I’ve loved Ohio up to this point, but I must say, this place was pretty bad. Our waitress was occupied with other waitresses from the get go. She was gossiping, crying & and seemed downright miserable.
I ordered a Bloody Mary and took 2 sips. The 2^nd just to confirm how bad it was. Had to return it for a Coke.
The food, not impressed either. I would go on more, but it’s no longer worth the time. My history on Unilocal has always been positive, but I must say, this was too awful an experience not to let people know about.

First a disclaimer — I’m not a beer drinker — so I can only appreciate this place slightly more than a diabetic can enjoy The Chocolate Bar.
But, when we stopped there last Sunday, I did find the food to be above average with the chef showing a deft hand on what are normally just run-​of-​the-​mill bar food. For instance, the pecan wood-​smoked chicken tacos ($ 12) was not overwhelmed by the mango salso and julienned jicama, the red chili aioli nor the chihuahia cheese. The smoked chicken was the dominate taste with the other items dancing on and off my taste buds.
Jeannene had the wild mushroom tacos ($ 11) and she also seemed to be impressed by them. I took her word for it since I dislike mushrooms even more than beer.
If we hadn’t just filled up with movie theater popcorn while watching Star Wars, we probably would have tackled some of their heavier fare. The maple roasted turkey sandwich with tarragon mayo ($ 12) almost tempted me as did the crispy pan-​seared Atlantic salmon ($ 19).
The atmosphere is typical of the modern bar/​gastropub with both booths and long tables to go with the bar seating. It can get noisy/​exciting right before or after a big game across the bridge but that’s not exactly a bad thing.

I tried one beer here — the Viking Pale Ale. It was good.
Love the outdoor area. Last night was warmer, but even when it gets colder, it’s nice because they have a lovely fireplace outside. I’ve only ever been here during the winter and hardly anyone goes out there, I don’t know why, but I’m guessing it’s more popular during spring/​summer months.
One negative… The lighting at the booths. Gotta dim those things. I’m trying to relax over here and can’t with that big spot light right over table. So to avoid literally wearing sunglasses at night, we moved outside.
I recommend if you want to try some yummy locally brewed beers. I want to try something for dinner next time I’m in town!

Beautiful atmosphere. Has a private room for parties. Craft beer selections from house and local brewers. Flight was presented beautifully.
Decided to go while in Cleveland on business.
Poutine was just ok. (The reason we chose this place along with the beer) Made «lighter» with chicken gravy… hmmm, ok. It was good, but not awesome.
Got roasted eggplant sandwhich and fries. Prefer to order vegetarian dishes when possible since I cook at home, but rarely vegetarian. My husband is definately a carnivore. Eggplant was tough and bread was overly oily, but obviously started as great crusty bread. Had to deconstruct to eat. Fries, were seasoned well, but a very small portion. Same fries used in the poutine, which kind of disappointed me. Left me wanting more food for the price.
The main dining room was almost all hightop tables with tall stools. For a short person these are not comfortable. The tables that were not hightops had «Reserved» signs on them, but were not seated while we were there. They could have been seated and turned. For some reason there was not salt and pepper on the tables. I have worked with chefs before that saw S&P on the tables as insulting, but come on… you serve burgers, get off it. Whether it was a front of the house oversite or not, it took an act of congress to get salt, which the poutine was in dire need of. The server was sweet, but forgot our requests.
It is fall in Cleveland, so why was the front door propped open? Was not only cold on my back and legs but cooled our food quickly. The husband was on the other side of the table, so I didnt mention it to him. He was happy to get his beer.
It was quite a walk through people pan handling. I’m no judge, and have fallen on hard times myself, but I must admit, it was off– putting. Not the fault of the establishment, just a heads up for safety. A few people were very rude when i ran out of pocket cash.
The beer saved our experience but would not recommend for the price.

Despite the name, not quite an unsuccessful Dutch/​German restaurant.
Visited Market Garden for Sunday brunch prior to the Browns dropping a gimme against the then-​pitiful Oakland Raiders. An amazing space next to the West Side Market (probably its namesake?), Market Garden offers two indoor bars/​dining rooms as well as a heated outdoor bar and dining area.
No booze before noon, so ordered a flight of microbrew, which was overall pretty reasonable. Food was also just reasonable, as the «famous» breakfast burrito was overall a pretty bland combination of egg, cheese, and underspiced sausage. Maybe they should rethink the recipe.
As should have the Allies in September 1944!

Get the avocado toast for brunch. Generous avocado mash, topped with fresh tomatoes and red chili flakes. So delicious. They treat it right, frying the bread in butter before they top it with fixin’s. Amazing. :) the other foods that we have had were good, but nothing to write home about.
The beers! Oh the beers! The beers are a reason to make a journey to the establishment alone. Get a flight. Try all their House-​made delicious beers for less than ten bucks.
I will admit that we typically do not frequent market garden for eats, but rather for the beers and drinks. :) the night scene, when not crowded, is quite fun! It can get a little grungy on the weekends though, so beware.
Decent service, friendly bartenders. Solid three stars.

Time/​Day: 3pm Saturday, Sparx Hop Weekend
First time here at MGB. To start the review I’ll say that our server was great — very attentive. The beer was good, but it should be at a brewery, right?
Now onto the food: My dining companion started with the Scotch Egg (half order =$ 4) which he liked. He said the sausage exterior was really tasty. He then had the confit chicken wings which he liked, but if he says they’re spicy, then they are spicy because ordinarily he tolerates that kind of stuff without mention. They were as others have written, «fall off the bone» as one expects of confit preparations,
I began with the beer cheddar soup. Let me say this — it was so salty that I had to water it down with water from my glass — like a lot of water — in order for it to even be palatable. Send it back you suggest? Um, ever seen the movie Waiting? I don’t send things back to the kitchen. I could have taken it off the bill maybe, but I wasn’t feeling that ambitious. I suffered the salt and finished the soup. Next I ordered the poutine — why I don’t know. I don’t eat that kind of food anymore and honestly when they served it, nothing about it was appetizing. Well, whatever that’s my bend, not theirs. I should note that I asked for it with brisket on top. Said brisket looked as though it had likely been held in some sort of warming tray or even kept in the fridge for a quick reheat. To me, brisket should be melt in your mouth tender with the right amount of lucious beef fat — this was really the opposite. It’s pretty difficult to screw up poutine, and as poutine goes, this was okay. All the elements were there, big chunky slow-​to-​melt curds, and chicken gravy — though that seemed to disappear into the fries far too fast.
Overall, it’s a place I recommend but it’s half-​hearted. My problem is that I expect the maximum for my money, and what I got today I could really have just made with buying less expensive things from the store — and controlled the amount of salt! When I visit a restaurant for the first time, I do expect wow. I don’t make a lot of money and if I choose to spend it on your place, I should leave full of great food and praise for the cook. Maybe I expect too much hm? All I know is I probably won’t be going back to MGB anytime soon.

I’ve been here twice on trips to visit family and have loved it both times. Both times I went during the day time, sat at the bar and sampled a few beers and their smaller bites.
The dry-​rubbed wings are pretty damn amazing; the meat just fell of the bone.
You can sample beers before you try them to find the right match. If you can’t decide you can always do a flight.
Overall good, chill vibe, good food and beer — sure I’ll be back on my next visit.

Market Garden is a great destination for brunch, late night drinks, or anything in between. I hosted a bridal shower here last year and was very happy with the service and catering they provided.
Stopped in recently for brunch on a Sunday morning and enjoyed a breakfast burrito and mimosa. I read that they recently updated the brunch menu so I am excited to visit again and try something new.
Bar carries a nice variety of local beers as well as their own brews. Recommend a beer flight for anyone who has trouble deciding on just beer to try.

Market Garden Brewery was the 3^rd stop on our little brewery tour. What a great place! I loved it! This is one of my favorite stops of the night.
We had no issue getting a table for the 10 of us outside. I had a flight of beer and they were all great. They actually have decent sized flights. Either that, or I’m just disillusioned by the glass. That’s probably it.
We ordered Poutine for the table. It was just OK. I’ve had better, but I love all forms of potato.
I’d love to go back and try other beer as well as more food.

Came here with a group of friends for a Cavs playoff game watch party. Excellent meal and good drinks served throughout.
I tried both the beef brisket burger as well as an order of poutine. Burger was cooked to perfection, topped with braised brisket, white cheddar cheese, a fried pickled onion and bbq aioli. Juicy and to die for! Instead of fries, we swapped a side salad that my wife really enjoyed. We also shared an order of their poutine… seasoned fries topped with cheese curds, smoked chicken gravy and fresh herbs. Yummers, for sure.
Their beer selection was quite nice as well… I’m a dark beer kinda guy and really enjoyed their
St. Emeric’s Stout on Nitro.
I’m sure we’ll be back again.

Go for drinks and a cool patio!!! Food not so much…
I would go back for the ambience indoors and outdoors. The patio is awesome w long community style wooden tables and well put together. The service very very very slow! The beer selection is plentiful but the food meh… We ordered a salad (3.5÷5), chicken tacos (2.5÷5). Again, while the staff was nice when they finally made it to our table initially and throughout the night, everything took a long time to get to our table.

I have past this brewery several times during my trips to Ohio City, but I was never intrigued to step into it until today. We were out visiting my little brother, who was swearing by the beer. I was very surprised by how spacious the place was on the inside although it was a little dark even for the afternoon. If you cut through the bar they have an amazing back patio lined with long high top tables! It is such a fun environment. I wish I could see it when its all packed out. They even have heaters above each table for when it’s cold out at night. Also, as you can see from my photo, they have a really awesome beer flight. The «sampler» beers are much larger than what you would typically get for the same price. I would highly recommend this place and hope to go back some day.

This is a great place to hang out, have a couple beers, and enjoy some yummy food. We come here a lot just to drink on the weekends, or for brunch on Sundays, but this time we stopped in for lunch after some shopping at West Side Market. It was a beautiful day, so we sat out on their patio. Jack Johnson music played in the background as we sipped our beers, perfectly shaded by a little tree growing between the tables. I got the Old School American Lager, which was light and refreshing.
To eat, I had the eggplant sandwich and my boyfriend got the tofu cheesesteak. The eggplant sandwich was awesome, but messy. The whipped feta on the sandwich was delectable, and the eggplant was perfectly grilled. I also got a salad instead of fries, and the salad was very good, much better than my boyfriend’s fries. The tofu cheesesteak sandwich was also pretty good but my boyfriend did comment that he wished the tofu was crispier.
Market Garden is a great place. They have an awesome beer selection and the food is pretty great too. If its nice out, I’d definitely recommend hanging out on their patio.

I find it odd that I’m saying that one of my favorite bars to grab drinks in Ohio City is just A-​OK. But, after thinking about the overall and taking into account the food, it really does just average out to A-​OK.
Like I said, I absolutely LOVE coming here to drink. The beer selection is good when I’m in a beer mood and they make my vodka drinks strong when I’d rather drink that (most of the time). And, if we can snag a table or a few seats on the patio (heated — but not enough to be out there in the dead of winter), then I love it even more. Depending on the night, sometimes it’s pretty hard to grab a drink, but usually when you’ve gotten the attention of one bartender once, they tend to gravitate to you the rest of the night– so just keep going to the same person.
The bartenders are pretty friendly for the most part. On busy nights, they seem pretty stressed but you can tell they enjoy what they’re doing and enjoy working with their coworkers, which makes things go smoothly.
As far as the food goes, I think that’s where it’s really just meh. I’ve had multiple food items and have never been overly impressed. I’ve had the pretzels, cauliflower steak, mac and cheese, pierogies, beer cheese soup, tacos, and fries and out of all of them, I would say I enjoyed the Pierogies the most and would actually recommend them over anything else on the menu.
All in all, like I said, I love it as a place to grab drinks and will continue returning for that purpose. But, for an actual meal, you’ll find me somewhere else in the area.

Excellent brunch at this restaurant. I loved Market Garden Brewery’s take on an Eggs Benedict. I typically think of Market Garden Brewery as my place to have beers on the patio when the weather permits in Cleveland. Breakfast is more of a guaranteed thing, however, since you can still eat inside even when it is ten degrees outside.
The base of the Eggs Benedict was as expected — your typical, buttered, open-​faced English muffin. Greatest novelty and best part of the dish was the use of delicious, juicy, well seasoned pork belly. The eggs were poached perfectly. Also, the dish looked great too. You can season it with sriracha, which gives the food a welcome kick.
Potatoes and coffee were average. You may want to substitute your potatoes for fruit or have a flight of mimosas instead of coffee. Pork belly, however, should become a standard part of the Eggs Benedict recipe. So much better than bacon or ham. Also, great open space and plenty of seating on a Sunday morning.

I’ve been to MGB a few times but have never tried the food. The beer selection seems impressive, and since I am a tall boy and bottle kinda person, getting it in a glass is fancy.
I have always attended shindigs in the Ohio City room, which is downstairs, with seating and its own bar. This place seems to like to be in touch with the community. Edible Cleveland, a local food/​brainstorming group has done stuff there before, and last night there was one of a series of comedy showcases there. Any place that supports the diverse groups that make up this town gets my support too. Hence the 4. Again, the beer selection is fancy– not cheap– but the staff is friendly. I’ll be back for more of the comedy I suppose.
