When I visited the Cleveland, Ohio area in support of my Great Beer Now blog, I had limited time to visit as many breweries as possible. I did manage to visit the big name craft breweries in the area and I knew I had time for more, but how to decide? I looked over the choices and narrowed down based on unique offerings. This led me to Collision Bend Brewing, located in the area known as Cleveland Flats.
What sets this brewpub apart from others is the views that it offers. It is situated right on the shores of the Cuyohoga River and there is an outdoor patio with open views of the river. This adds greatly to the appeal, since waterfront views always seem to make any occasion better.
Since Collision Bend is a brewpub, guests can expect to find excellent menu options as well as fine brew. The establishment specializes in California street food, with sandwiches, pizza, salads, and small plate items along with desserts. I liked what I tasted and sampled and I loved the beer even more. The Lake Erie Sunset Pale Wheat Ale is very popular with locals and one taste will make you understand why. There are other delicious beers, too, like Blu Lu Double IPA, easily a standout for me.
Collision Bend Brewing has an atmosphere that straddles the line between a nice place of dining and a casual eatery. The brick exterior gives the establishment an industrial feel while the inside has several contemporary features. The food and beer are both noteworthy and the waterfront views make this brewery stand out in the crowd. It’s a cool place for food, brew, and water views and a place you need to visit when in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
Exceeded all of my expectations! The view of the lake by itself is worth going and the presentation and quality of the food is truly one of a kind. If you visit downtown and want something new, this place is a must!
Beautiful place with beautiful views. Went there for a friend’s birthday when I was in town and fell in love. The menu is relatively inexpensive and the food was phenomenal. Would highly recommend.
Came in for Sunday brunch. Was not disappointed. Great food and excellent beer. Great service with a nice view. Will be back.
