“My friend and I were visiting Cleveland to go to the Rock Hall and needed a place for dinner. I happened upon their Dyngus Day celebration info online before we left home and made reservations. My friend had visited before, but this was a brand new place for me. We were seated at a hi-top next to the bar, and a server appeared almost immediately. I'm not a huge beer drinker, so I asked for a recommendation – she suggested their orange cranberry wheat beer, which was outstanding. (I'm sorry, I don't remember her name – shortish, slender, brunette waitress: you're my hero, and your suggestion was awesome!) We ended up ordering the pierogi pizza, a Dyngus Day special, which was delicious. No fewer than three different staff took care of us, making sure drinks were never empty and that the food was to our liking. The ambiance was nice. It was a comfortable bar atmosphere; not too loud to have a conversation. I bet when the patio opens, it's even better. Last Call was told to each table, rather than shouted from the bar. Go, you won't be sorry.”

“I went for the Harry Potter bar- but it was so packed, it is also first come first serve- no reservation. The drink from the menu was amazing! It was also very fun to be in the Harry Potter bar. I ended up eating upstairs, but bringing up one of the drinks from the basement- best of both worlds. The food was good. I wish they had a veggie burger. The waitress who was super kind and fast even though it was busy, said they are working on one! A home made one which sounds amazing!!!! So I will be back to try it someday when it is finished! It is hard to find a good homemade veggie burger. If you need a taste tester, let me know. I really wanted to do Harry Potter trivia but it sold out! This place is so popular! I need to start looking at events earlier.”

“We went this weekend for the Harry Potter pop up bar and it didn’t disappoint! Though very busy, the service was great, drinks were delicious, and ambiance was fabulous. I talked with an employee in the gift shop and she said that one of the servers did all the decoration and hand painted one of the backdrops and hand sewed the banners!! It truly was incredible and a work of art. Seeing the space made us interested in hosting events down there in the future. We have been to Great Lakes before and enjoy the food and atmosphere, but this experience was wonderful. You could order all your Great Lakes favorites in the bar as well, not only the speciality drinks. We tried the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff drinks, favoring the Ravenclaw, but enjoying both! We recommended to friends and are looking forward to more pop up bar events from Great Lakes in the future.”

“Small food and cocktail menu, lots of beers to choose from. Nice merch in the gift shop, would recommend checking it out! Outdoor seating available.”

“We had a okay time at the Great Lakes Brewing Company. We had a couple of brews and the crispy pierogies. Beer was good enjoyed the hopps and the menu was loaded with good options. The crispy pierogis were okay nothing special in my opinion. Had lots of better ones. Staff was friendly. They also had the Christmas bar downstairs which looked festive. Fun gift shop attached as well.”
