The Jolly Scholar - Brewpub in Cleveland - 11111 Euclid Ave, USA

Whenever I feel nostalgic about the amazing time I spent cramming for tests in the university, I head on over to the Jolly Scholar. I love the vibe and their huge selection of beers. I also like the collegiate terminology that they use to name their beers like ‘emeritus’, etc. I love their Jolly Spritz and the jolly blonde ale that are perfect for summer. But, most of all, I love their vegan chicken nuggets that are made out of mushrooms. You will not believe how amazing these are - they taste absolutely like the real chicken nuggets and even better!!! I couldn’t believe that this was not chicken!!! Go check this place out - it’s absolutely fantastic!!

Awesome location, it sits on CWRU. The actual brewpub is located inside Thwing Center. You will need to park on the street surrounding or you could park in the university hospital parking ramp and walk over. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, spacious and great music 🎶 🎵. Service was prompt and welcoming. I'd recommend checking this place out for a drink or a milkshake!

When I first looked up this place I didn't realize it was an on campus restaurant/ bar. Unfortunately, everything from the service to the quality of the food was what you'd expect from an on-campus college restaurant. Service: The waitress was bad. I'm talking real bad, Michael Jackson. She wasn't rude in fact she was quite nice but she was running around like it was her first week on the job (we later confirmedshe had been there a few months), messing up orders not bringing food out forgetting about drinks. One of the people at my table literally had to wait about 45 mins for her food (pizza) and drink. The drinks were taking so long some of us went directly to the bar and got drinks right away. When I asked the bartender why he said it was because he serves his bar customers first since they tip him directly we tip the servers. Food: It was bad. Wings were fried hard, my wife's food came out ice cold. Finally when it came time to leave the waitress wouldn't show up to bring the checks. She brought one check but there were about 8 of us. So we waited about 30 mins to get checks but then they were all wrong. Had to literally write out what we ordered and wait around another 30 mins for her to correct the check. Finally they had a nerve to put an automatic 18% gratuity on our checks for that terrible service. The only good thing about my experience was that my drink was good. If the sever was able to get drinks out in a timely fashion, I would have ordered another. ***5/11 - Review edited/updated. I visited again and sat at the bar this time. The service was much better and the two items I ordered pretzels and burger tasted decent. The drinks were good ad they were the first time and for a good price.

Great in house beers at an unbeatable price. $4.50 a pint. Food and service are okay as they have a lot of student employees but it never takes away from the experience. Definitely my go to spot to grab a drink or socialize in university circle. Just wished they were open a bit later.

The place has a great atmosphere. And the food that I tried normally comes out pretty good. The wings are hit and miss. **They have something called a pile of onion rings or something close to that please see the picture below. I think we counted six or seven. Sauce however that comes with it is amazing. The beer is reasonably priced and all around not a bad place. ****However if you go there with possibly more than six or eight people expect to wait 20 minutes for a beer and possibly 45 for your food. I have contacted the place via email from their site to see we can how to rectify this problem. I do like going there with a group however every time we do we all tell each other we should never do this again because of how long things go for it. Basically if you sit at a table and you actually want to get a beer and under 20 minutes you need to go to the bar and pay with cash. Edit. Went again. Just sit at the bar, skip the onion rings. As I end all my reviews and just not affect the rating. No military discount

It's kind of tucked away in the University Circle area but a nice change of pace from the restaurants down the street. Worth a visit when the weather is good.

It was nice to have late dinner here. Also, I could use student meal plan swipe. One downside is that sometimes grubhub doesn't work when I try to order foods in advance, especially when trying to use more than one meal swipe

We visited from out of town and found this place with good reviews not realizing it was on a college campus. Having never been before, it was still relatively easy to find. Great beer and food at great prices!
