In our never ending search for trying out new restaurants, we discovered the rocky river brewing company. We visited with a friend of ours on a Thursday evening. The parking lot was quite full so we were expecting a potential wait when we got in. Thankfully, there is a very large dining area and we got a table immediately.
Our waitress stopped by quickly after we were seated and grabbed our drink order. The menu is quite diverse and it did take us a bit of time to each make our choice.
I ended up going with their Bavarian Pretzel as an appetizer for the table and then the Italian Chopped Salad for the main meal with a side of French fries. My wife went with the tuna bowl and our friend ordered the goat cheese balls and the Thai chicken salad.
Appetizers came out very quickly. The pretzel was giant and much larger than expected. The goat cheese balls were the hit of the night for the table though. The combination of the deep fried outside with the creamy cheese inside paired with the hot honey marmalade was fantastic.
For our main entree’s, overall I was happy with my salad but would have loved to see more actual protein in the dish. It was a decent sized salad overall but felt the actual meats were a bit skimped on compared the my wife’s tuna bowl or my friends Thai chicken.
We were much too full for desserts so we skipped that option during our visit.
Given that this is brewery as well. The general vibe and atmosphere is very similar to places like fat heads. As such, the overall volume in places like this tends to be on the louder side. Not a place I would go if you are trying to have a quiet conversation as there were several tables around us being quite loud that made a normal indoor volume conversation difficult. You basically have to raise your voice in kind to those around you to be able to talk at your table.
Overall, a restaurant we would visit again in the future for sure. The quality of the food was great and we would imagine other options on the menu to be just as good as what we had as a result.

I ate outside at the Rocky River Brewing Company with a large family group and it was the perfect summer night spot! The outdoor seating is so lovely, and the food and (most) drinks were delicious. Everyone I was with liked the beers they ordered, but I would not recommend the flavored lemonades (because they just taste like cheap strawberry syrup). The waiting staff could have been a little more friendly but overall this was an enjoyable experience! The music playing over the speakers, while at times a bit loud, was enjoyable as well. Definitely check this restaurant out for a great outdoor summer night spot.

Rocky River brewing is one of the best spots to eat and get drink in all of Cleveland. The food is always good I frequent here a lot maybe once or twice a month (best time to go is patio season! Their patio is amazing!!). Their beer is also very good, always have their staple beers and then a good variety of seasonal beers. I highly recommend their buckets (wings, mini burgers, and fries) can’t beat them! If you are visiting the area or live nearby, bar/brewery is something you like I HIGHLY recommend this place

The ribs were the best I’ve ever had, just delicious. I got broccoli instead of fries. I like to watch calories that way. The service was top-notch, and the beer was fresh and clean. The prices were very reasonable. I would return to try other offerings. The Tuesday burger is great! Fat Tuesday was very nice with a New Orleans menu and drinks.

Food and beer is really good. The blueberry beer is really good but the punch in the nuts is the absolute best. It has the best peanut butter flavor ever!!! So dreamy!!! Their grouper with the potato and sweet potato matchsticks is superb and cooked to absolute perfection!!! Their holy frijoles burger with the house made mango salsa is fabulous!!! I wish they had more beer selections.

Stopped by for a bite to eat as family wanted to stop here. We were not terribly hungry, so got an order of wings and a pizza to split. Food was great, especially the wings; service was fast and efficient (and she was busy), and there were plenty of other choices to drink besides beer. Worth stopping by.

Our waitress was super friendly and recommended us some drinks and food. It was our first time trying fried pickles and it was amazing! It comes with a good special sauce. Their beers are very tasty too.

My dinner club had a fantastic outing for dinner this month at RRBC! Their outdoor patio is absolutely lovely, service was awesome and the menu was extensive with lots of yummy options for vegetarians. The prices are reasonable and their homemade selection is also extensive and unique. I highly recommend RRBC!

I come here almost on a weekly basis. Every weekend Christian always takes care of me. Every bartender here is great and has an amazing personality. Everytime I come here I have a lot of fun as well as enjoyment of wonderful food. I love getting the calamari here it is just to Die For What are the best versions of calamari I’ve ever had period another appetizer that it’s really hard not to get every time I come here is the Asian nachos. Both of these items are on the lighter side and healthier options. Another rule popular appetizer is the fried buffalo cauliflower. Every Friday and Saturday they run a special for dinner and it’s always worth checking out sometimes they have pork shoulder which is the best damn thing I think I’ve ever eaten. I get the Thai chicken salad a lot it’s one of my favorite things around. This place is beautiful and it is huge great place to come for parties. They have a giant patio that they call a tiki bar. A lot of choices on liquor and they are a brew house so they have a lot of signature beers. You can buy a growler of your favorite beer and take it home with you as well as get discounts on refills at the future. I love the service the food and the management I will keep coming back as a repeat customer forever. The owners name is Bob, he’s very nice-you will probably see him sitting at the inside bar.

Came here two days ago on Tuesday. Lots of parking outside which is a plus. Inside the place is big, warm, cozy, with lots of tables and lots of seating at the bar. The men’s washroom was clean and stylish.
I got the flight of 8 RRBC beers for $15.00. Great deal and excellent beer. Many different styles, including the seasonal Octoberfest, which is tasty. The Kolsch is amazing and they have two hoppy malty IPAs which were phenomenal. The names of the beers are creative, conversation starters and some are funny.
I also got the Black and Bleu Burger. Perfectly grilled burger topped with a chunky blue cheese dressing and large slice of grilled red bell pepper. Filling and delicious. One of the best Burgess I’ve ever. On the side was beer battered fries which were crispy and good potato flavor. Lastly, every Tuesday the burgers are $9.00.
My server/ bartender Kelly was amazing. She was fun, high energy, knowledgeable about the beer and food menu, very friendly and welcoming. Amazing service by and amazing person!
I will definitely come back and try more beers. I highly recommend this place!
