Butcher and the Brewer - Brewpub in Cleveland - 2043 E 4th St, USA

My wife and I came here a few years ago and I remember liking it. BUT- we came here before heading to the theater this past weekend with another couple and loved it! The restaurant itself is pretty cool. You can see where they brew. Interestingly enough, the bathrooms are worth checking out. They’re downstairs. The menu is all electronic. You open a tab and order whenever you want. They primarily serve small plates, but have some main courses as well. We ordered 6 small plates and loved every one. Two in our group loved the pork belly. I think I liked the pretzel the most- which is a weird thing to say. It came with a garlic-flavored caramel sauce. It sounds weird, but it was strangely really good. The beers we had were also great. I had a grapefruit beer, my wife had a shandy, and the other couple both had the albino stout. I tried it as well and it was full of great flavor. We loved our beers too. As a tip, we did valet parking for $35. Parking in the area on the night of a baseball game can be really expensive. This helped us to get in and out and onto our play easily. If you’re looking for a relaxed place to chill and eat, definitely try this place out. It’ll be even more fun to try with friends in order to taste a few of their wonderful small plates.

The little hamburgers were great. The place is great.The one sauce they give you for the big pretzel is delicious. It is nice to sit outside on a great evening.

I had the wings here. They were very good. The food selection here is more like high end bar food than full meals. Pretzels, sliders, wings to name a few. It was all very good and the Albino stout was a solid choice!

It was my first time at the restaurant. I sat at the bar. The food was really good and the beer off course, the service was not as good as I expected but not terrible. Is call the butcher but the meat chooses are very limited.

The absolute best bone marrow I've ever had. Cool place with good selection of beers and drinks. The appetizers alone are worth a trip to Cleveland.

The host was nice and seated us immediately. Wanted to sit outdoors but since we wanted food as well we were told we had to sit indoors. Our waiter was super friendly, and was patient with us as we endured challenges with confirming our order through their QR Code link. Ordered the wood fired dry rub wings, and the charred broccolini. Both were extremely salty, therefore making the food unenjoyable. But, I am willing to go back to try some of their other food items.

My expectations were clearly too high. I ordered the crispy pork belly. With a name like this I expected to indulge in meat, but what a got were four tiny pieces of meat, one fried egg on top of a VERY crispy potato pancake and a lot of sauce drizzled on the plate. The pork belly itself was not particularly good to make up for the small amount. I went somewhere else afterwards to get some more food.

Amazing. I was here with two friends when other dinner plans fell through. We ordered 1 appatizer, three sides, and three entrees. Everything was wonderful. The kimchini? balls were delicious but come out very hot so let them sit. The brussel sprouts were good, but I do not really care for Brussel sprouts in general. But the broccolini and mushroom were the best. We finished dinner and then ordered two more sides of mushrooms and another brocolini (Please eat responsibly). The enteees were all good. The new york strip was a solid 7/10, which is scored very highly for me as I have never eaten a steak that was better than what I can do at home. The shank steak was better than the strip, but the pork shank was awesome. This place is pricy, so plan to pay at least $50 for food, but I loved the atmosphere and the staff. I can not say enough positive things about it. (It was not very busy as we got there at 7:30pm and as they clearly cook to order, I am guessing there could be a wait. It was only around 15 mins before our food started coming out) Oh, and the bathrooms are very unique.
