    Very fun place to enjoy a summer day at! The nachos have a great blend of greens and meat! The flavor and chip to ingredients ratio is excellent! The pretzel is fluffy, it is a bold sweet and salty taste paired with a great beer cheese! The drinks across the table are enjoyable! The service was non invasive while keeping the table satisfied!

    Absolutely beautiful spot with several great spaces including an awesome patio and outdoor bar on the waterfront. Both of the beers I had were excellent and our bartender was exceptionally friendly and welcoming - definitely a brewery I would come back to next time I am in Cleveland.

    I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding reception at Collision Bend Brewing Company, and I can't express how thrilled I am with the entire experience. My wife and I eloped and decided to have a celebration back home, and Collision Bend Brewing Company made it an unforgettable event. The venue itself is nothing short of perfection. It exudes an intimate and cozy atmosphere that was ideal for our reception. The staff were not only accommodating but genuinely great. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The drinks were flowing throughout the night, and I must say, the Blackberry Shandy quickly became my personal favorite. It's refreshing to have such a delicious and unique brew as a highlight of the evening. For the catering, we opted for the Taco bar, and our expectations were not just met; they were surpassed. The quality of the food and the service went far beyond what we could have hoped for. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it was evident that Collision Bend Brewing Company takes great pride in delivering an exceptional experience for their guests. One of the standout moments was when the general manager personally checked in on us throughout the evening. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our guests' satisfaction was both impressive and greatly appreciated. He even made sure that parking was readily available, which was a thoughtful touch. Our waitress, who happened to be minoring in photography, went above and beyond. She volunteered to take pictures for us using our camera, capturing over 800 precious moments during the event. The photos turned out absolutely amazing and have become cherished memories of our special day. And, of course, I can't forget the bartender who was always on point. The seamless service at the bar ensured that our guests were well taken care of, making for a truly enjoyable evening. In conclusion, Collision Bend Brewing Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Our wedding reception was a beautiful, unforgettable celebration, and we owe a huge thank you to the incredible team at Collision Bend for making it all possible. If you're looking for a perfect venue with exceptional service and a memorable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Collision Bend Brewing Company. They helped make our special day absolutely perfect.

    Stopped in to try out the beer. We just had lunch so, we didn't eat but definitely will go back for some food next time we're in Cleveland. The waiter was awesome and very informative about the beers and the ones we tried were all very good. The view of the river was fantastic as a ship goes down river. Just a great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. We finally made it back for lunch and had pizza very good and a giant pretzel also very good and beer of course.

    We work with a bunch of different venues to host Secret Society Comedy's pop up shows, but we can't wait to come back to Collision Bend. Mike had the back room set up exactly how we needed it when we arrived, so it made setup super easy. The beers speak for themselves and the view is one of the best in town. Worth paying for parking to hang here for a meal and a beer or 5.

    Loved the atmosphere and the outside patio! Came with some colleagues and enjoyed the River view and some good cocktails. The apps we had were good - the cauliflower wings and queso Fundido were the stars for us with apps. I got the grilled cheese and it wasn’t my favorite. The flavor was there but they put the soup right on the sandwich and it was a little soggy for my taste. Next time I’ll opp for the soup on the side. My colleagues that got the shrimp tacos loved them! Definitely will be back for the atmosphere!

    To get in we had to find Parking on the street. The service was amazing and and the food was outstanding. The server helped us narrow down our beer flight selection and her recommendations were spot on. We ordered the mussles appetizer. It was cooked to perfection with a flavourful tomato base. We also split a hot honey chicken sandwich. They were kind and split it on two plates for us. This is a family establishedment with family friendly changing tables in the front lobby restrooms. We recommend this place for sure.

    Collision Bend Brewing was nicer than I expected. I met my friend here thinking it would be a hole in the wall, but we pretty much sat on Lake Erie. I ordered soup and pizza. It was delicious. The service was good, and everyone was friendly. I am very grateful for the experience. I was nervous about going to the Flats, but parking was easy, and the restaurant had plenty of room to sit any group that came down for lunch. I am not sure when but I will retire to try other dishes on the menu

    Just another brewpub. Good location, interesting industrial hip interior, below average beer, poor service. 1st time in the Flats, wanted a good beer before dinner. Chose here because of location. Went in early afternoon around 4:30 on a weekday afternoon. Hardly anybody in the place. Weather was great so we sat outdoors at the bar area along the river. Best thing is the location, right along the River. However 1st impressions of the bar area was it looks like something out of a college dorm, junky and haphazard, zero style. Not nice, just a young adult beer joint hangout. Second issue that even though there were only a few customers, we were ignored for a while. Eventually we were waited on by a snarky bartender, ordered a flight of 4 beers to see what they had, along with an order of fries. The beers were not great, all tasted metallic (I have made much better at home myself), IPAs were the typical overhopped without complexity style of those who make beer but don’t focus on flavor. Our snarky bartender forgot our fries, we had to remind her, and when we finally got them, the fries were limp, not fresh. Paid the bill and left to find a better place we could enjoy. Would I go there again..no. Would I recommend…no.

    Collision Bend is overall a solid spot for a drink and a bite downtown. The beers were the best part of the meal - clean and crisp and varied in style and flavor. Food was typical for what you’d find at a brewpub, and was good, if unremarkable. The dining space was very large and decorated in industrial chic - and was also packed with people celebrating parties (service was also quite slow as a result). If we were to return, it would be during the off hours… and during the summer to enjoy the outdoor patio and view of the river.

    Beautiful lakefront views. Awesome service. Great beer, cocktails, and food. The Fried Green Tomato Sando was so unexpectedly delicious! However the best item on the menu is their Brussels Sprouts. Order them and thank me later!! One of the few good spots for food in the Flats.

    My cousin rented this venue out for her wedding. Tons of drinks available. Great view of the lake. Lots of space. Loved the ambiance and just feel for the venue. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The buss boys were consistently cleaning off tables and we’re working their tails off. We al had a very nice time and would highly recommend.

    First time at collision bend brewing. Had the pepperoni pizza with a side of their spicy ranch. It was delicious and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Was able to look out on the riverfront. Look forward to going back and trying some other items. Be mindful that parking is limited with meters and there are lots that you would have to pay for.

    This place has it all right. From service to food to the atmosphere, it's all great! Our waitress was so nice with an awesome sense of humor. She was awesome at helping me decide what to order. When I asked about substituting a side, she said, "Like T.I. said, 'You can have whatever you want." And the rap rhymes & jokes kept coming. I don't remember her name, but I know she also works in EMS. The location is just perfect. We sat outside because the day was gorgeous, right on the water, across from the Nautica Pavillion, a slight breeze, and the view was sheer joy. I debated sitting outside, but I'm so glad we did. Now on to the food. ORDER ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S ALL GOOD! We had the herb roasted chicken with brocollini & fingerling potatoes, braised Short Rib with Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes, a shareable side of mac-n-cheese, and for dessert the brownie, cheesecake and ice cream. Were we greedy? Absolutely! But we left feeling good about every single choice we made. I honestly was a little worried about this place but it's so worth it. There was even a little bird that kept eyeing our food...👀

    This is a fantastic place!!! It’s so fun!!! We had the rehearsal dinner here, and it was great!!! The food is delicious!!! There was a Mexican type theme with tacos and sliders!!! The salad was very fresh and loaded with veggies and garbanzo beans. There was shredded chicken and pork which were very flavorful!!! There were taco shells and rolls to use for your meats. The Mac and cheese was delicious!! The salsa was also very fresh!!! You can eat inside or outside on the deck!!! There’s a beautiful view in the Flats in Cleveland!!! So pretty on a late summer night!!! The service is also very good and there’s a nice bar area!!! There’s a nice selection of beer and mixed drinks 🍹 🍺🍻🥃🍷 You can see all the beer tanks, too, where the beer is made.

    Great location right on the water. The place is huge and has an inside and outside bar. This was the 2nd time I've been here and the service was good both times. Beer is good and food was good. I'd definitely visit again. Parking in this area in general is hard to find that's probably the only downfall.

    We stopped by for lunch before getting on Funny Bus. Food was overall good but my "Fried green tomato muffin" was overwhelmed with thick cut bacon and it hardly didn't taste tomato. My boyfriend liked his smoke salmon bagel. A server girl was very friendly and nice.

    My friend, daughter and I visited here (our first time) and were blown away by the food, service and staff. Jessie was our server (we sat outside on their gorgeous deck by the river) and Jessie was AWESOME. Friendly and helpful and one of the best servers I've ever encountered anywhere. We shared a pepperoni pizza (fantastic, highly recommend), the 420 fries (loaded with jerk chicken, queso, onion and spicy mayo) and my friend had a hot chicken sandwich that he loved. The portions are huge and everything we had was extremely delicious. We will most definitely be back here!!!!

    Great beer. I had the Lake Erie sunset and thoroughly enjoyed it. For an appetizer we had the 420 fries and they were pretty good. I ordered the shrimp tacos, but I didn’t find the shrimp very flavorful. My partner got the hat chicken sandwich and really liked it. The blue cheese aoli was very subtle. It’s a great location to eat by the river. We will definitely be back.

    I simply cannot say enough amazing things about Collision Bend Brewing. My husband and I booked them for our October wedding and they completely blew us away from start to finish. Venue Wedding pro tip: find a beautiful wedding venue and you can save a ton on decor. The view of the river from the outdoor patio was a fantastic backdrop for our ceremony, and the dining area had perfect lighting for the reception. We spent almost nothing on decor, but all our guests raved about how beautiful the location was. Wedding coordination Ashley Ehrhardt is. Absolutely. Phenomenal. She made the planning process so easy for us, and was quick to accommodate our requests. A lot of services were also already included as part of their wedding day offering (tableware, sound system, food, etc.), which saved us a ton of headaches. The day-of staff was very attentive and quick to troubleshoot issues. I will forever remember Molly coming to my aid with hot tea and snacks in between photos. Food + Drink We had a buffet-style reception and the food was wonderful. Multiple friends told us it was the best food they’d had at a wedding (my brother-in-law actually wanted to go back for pizza the next day). They were also kind enough to prepare additional plates for guests with dietary restrictions. The late-night snacks and open bar were also a hit. Highly recommend the pretzel bites! If you’re thinking of booking Collision Bend for your wedding, just do it. They made our wedding the happiest day of their lives, and our guests are still complimenting the venue weeks later. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Collision Bend team!

👍 March 2022: Stopped here for lunch on a comp from the Jack Casino. They gave me $30 that I used to get the Double melt, tots, vanilla shake, and chili to go. Pros: * Clean restaurant with a bar and plenty of TVs on the walls. * Friendly staff who were attentive to my needs. It was not very busy so...
