Bars and Breweries

Few towns can boast a craft beer pedigree like Cleveland. It makes sense that we would become one of the nation's leaders in craft beer production, given our long history of manufacturing grit and vibrant culture of artisanal creativity. You won’t find any beer snobs here, though. After all, people from all walks of life love a cold, frosty beverage brewed right in their hometown. Especially Clevelanders.

The bottom line? This town just really loves a good beer. Sign up for our Cleveland Brewery Passport and drink your way through 40 of Cleveland’s finest breweries, earning yourself some rewards along the way.

Cleveland’s reputation as a craft brewery capital is never in question, but our craft cocktail culture has been similarly thriving for years. Every night, expert bartenders are serving up classic combinations, shaking things up with a new spin or creating brand new elixirs from scratch. So, if beer’s not your thing, we’ve got plenty of great bars serving handcrafted; creative cocktails, the finest whiskey and bourbon; and local wines from our own backyard and beyond.
