Astoria
Astoria takes its name from the Astoria neighborhood in Queens, New York, which is known for its large Greek population. Astoria, Queens was named after millionaire John Jacob Astor as part of a business deal. In Greek mythology, Asteria was the Titan goddess of falling stars. The word “asteri” refers to stars.

Banter is a unique retail craft beer & wine store and tasting room featuring the regions finest curated selection of beer and wine from around the world (and around the corner). Banter also specializes in gourmet house-made sausages and Quebec-style poutine.
Brewnuts
Brewnuts combines the hospitality of the corner donut shop with the comfort of your favorite watering hole. We encourage you to belly up to the bar and stay awhile.
Brewnuts is the lovechild of two Clevelanders—Shelley & John Pippin—who gave up their jobs working for “The Man” to pursue their three favorite things: donuts, beer and Cleveland.
Long story short, one night Shelley bolted up in bed and asked John what he thought about the idea of making craft beer based donuts. After a long pause he said “I like that.” The next day we went out and bought a countertop fryer and got busy hatching our plan to make Cleveland’s most unique and delicious donuts.
Forest City Brewery
“This 40-seat brewery is old-school to the core” – props to Cleveland Magazine. Pull up a seat at the bar and check out the vintage—everything—including classic Cleveland brewery memorabilia. The old-school bar is great and so is the full menu of guest beers, wine, and spirits to choose from. Their on-site kitchen provides a delectable selection of handhelds, shareable, and solo food options to pair with your pint of frothy brew or hand-crafted cocktail.
Great Lakes Brewery
Two Irish-American brothers with limited brewing experience. A city that shuttered its last production brewery in the early 80s. A neighborhood in need of a boost. When in 1986 Patrick and Daniel Conway opened their fledgling operation in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood, the odds were stacked against them. Fortunately, they surrounded themselves with a staff of passionate, knowledgeable people, and from the start committed themselves to bringing an independent, sophisticated, diverse selection of craft beer to their home state. Today Pat and Dan Conway celebrate over three decades of crafting exceptional beer for their adventurous and discerning customers.

Happy Dog
The Happy Dog is a neighborhood corner bar in the best sense of the term. They’ve got hot dogs, beer, and lots of live music. The bartenders are friendly and the bar itself is open and inviting. It’s not retro because it’s pretty much unchanged from the time the Socotch family built the place back in the late 40’s.
