The Brewpub
The Victorian building at 2516 Market Avenue that houses the Great Lakes Brewing Company Brewpub was rented and eventually purchased by the Conways in 1987, but previously served as the site of a French restaurant called the "Market Street Exchange". The Brewpub is actually two historic buildings merged: The Market Tavern and MacClean's Feed & Seed Company. The Market Tavern was established circa 1865 and became a popular watering hole for Cleveland's various legal and civil service professionals and tradesmen. Its most famous patron was Eliot Ness, former leader of Chicago's "Untouchables" (Prohibition agents) and the man credited with taking down Al Capone's gang.
Around the Brewpub
The Taproom retains much of the charm and mystique from the 1930s era in its grand Tiger Mahogany bar (Cleveland's oldest) and intriguing bullet holes said to have come from Eliot Ness himself. The Brewhouse features an upclose view of the seven barrel brewing tanks used in the early days of Great Lakes Brewing Company, as well as antique scales used by MacClean's Feed & Seed Company. The Beer Cellar is an extension of the Taproom, but reflects a more authentic "brewpub" atmosphere complete with stone walls and a viewing area of smaller beer tanks. The Beer Garden is an eco-friendly, indoor/outdoor dining area complete with a retractable "Roman Curtain" canvas roof, straw bale wall and radiant heat floor and fireplace. Above the Taproom are two facilities known as the Market Room and the Rockefeller Room, which served as law offices for a young John D. Rockefeller before he got his start with Standard Oil (SOHIO).
