UPDATE: Our new menu is now available! Find our Lunch and Dinner menus here.
With a new season, we are thrilled to announce a brand new dining menu for our iconic Ohio City brewpub!
Executive Chef Christopher Suntala and the GLBC team bring fresh, locally sourced ingredients into the spotlight in a streamlined menu. You’ll find an approachable mix of bar snacks, small plates, and large plates perfect for a variety of diners and occasions. The new menu will be unveiled in early May after a series of soft-open events.
Fresh, Local, Elevated
The new menu will feature a mix of reimagined GLBC classics, along with creative new brew-infused elements and a spotlight on local growers and vendors. Daily specials will allow for the incorporation of even more seasonal and local ingredients. Our brunch menu will also get an update. We will continue our sustainable practices of composting, locally sourcing, and reducing waste and water usage, which earned our brewpub a Surfrider Great Lakes Friendly Certification in 2024.
“Our aim is to bring even better storytelling to this already storied Cleveland institution through our reimagined menu—getting back to honoring our local and sustainable roots. We are focused on diversifying our menu, from plate sizes and prices to satisfying a wider variety of dietary needs and preferences. And of course, I’m excited to use the beer as inspiration. We want each plate and pint to express the absolute best of Cleveland,” says Suntala.

Complementary Brews
We’re leveling up our beverage offerings with even more special releases, including small batch brews featuring local farm-sourced ingredients. For the new menu launch, a hot honey-inspired ale will tap, featuring local honey from our sponsored hives at Ohio City Farm and Frayed Knot Farm. You can always expect a mix of tried-and-true year-round and seasonal favorites alongside innovative brews from experimental IPAs to craft hard seltzers and infusions. Cocktails featuring local spirits, and non-alcoholic options, will round out our beverage menu.
Guest Experience
Along with a new menu, stay tuned for a series of improvements to our historic space, beginning with the eco-friendly indoor-outdoor beer garden which will highlight our sustainability story with gallery walls, photo opps, and greenery. The basement “cellar” bar, host of seasonal pop-ups like our popular Secret Cellar Christmas Bar, will offer a selection of high-end bourbons and additional TVs for viewing sports.
“We love this historic building and we know our many visiting guests and regulars do too,” says General Manager Ashley Likavec. “We also know there are simple ways we can keep our guests more comfortable, engaged, and entertained when they stop in for drinks or a meal. Just as we’ve innovated and evolved our beer offerings over the years, we must do the same with our brewpub to attract new guests and retain what’s already worked well for us over three decades.”
