Nano Brew

Limited food menu, good beer selection, good service not too loud. Festive.

Beer is good services is absolutely horrible. Waited over 30 min for someone to talk to us. Will not be coming back

Great beer selection and the best fried pickles I’ve ever had! I love their patio, too – one of the best in the city.

The food was great had the Burger. It was Excellent!!! Service was excellent! Place was clean! Loved the the industrial look of the place! Would recommend to anyone wanting to hang out and enjoy a burger and a beer!

With a great list of local draft beers anda list of burgers that looked insane, Nano should be a solid stop on your beer tour of the Cleveland brewery district. I was impressed with the constantly updating list, which they keep up to date with a ladder and some small chalk boards.
I had a good seat facing the kitchen and saw loads of amazing looking burgers going out to the tables. It was a well organized ballet, but I wanted to get another beer at another place and so I moved on.
Neat vibe, very friendly, great looking food. Welcome to Nano Brew!

Went as they were on a list for top falafel places in Cleveland. The item was more of a hummus wrap with tiny pieces of mushy falafel thrown in for good measure. Patio was pretty but #hipsterheaven. I missed the sign that said you must have workout clothes or a man-​bun to enter.

What a cool place. Came here on a brew tour and had a great time trying beers and eating food. Loved the little burgers, reasonably priced. Very chill atmosphere and love the decorations and little touches, best looking patio!!! Beer selection isn’t huge of their own beer but good choices otherwise. This is our 2^nd time back, will continue to stop in here when in the area!

A little background, I had been here once before after a night at a concert at Nautica. After the concert we walked to Ohio City and wandered into this bar and hung out on the roof patio for a few hours. I mainly recall the roof patio and the moose head on the wall from that adventure but had no idea I was at Nano Brew at the time.
Fast forward to planning a trip for my Birthday to Ohio City and we decided to try a few places. On the way up I told the story from the concert and we all had a good laugh when we walked into Nano and there was the moose head I had mentioned! We found where I had been nearly a year earlier! Mystery solved!
I really liked this place. It was a nice afternoon to try a flight of their beers. The Raddler was excellent but the others were just average. They also had a few from Market Garden that weren’t too bad. We decided to grab a quick bite as well while we were there and I tried the Falafel. It was pretty dry and bland for my taste but not terrible. I’d probably try something else next time. The service was fast and friendly. They had no problem putting on the Penguins game for us.
At the end of the day, it’s the laid back atmosphere that really stands out to me. Definitely a great place to kick back and have a drink and a quick bite. Or you know, a destination to aimlessly wander into around midnight after a concert ;)

We have tried time and time again to like Nano Brew, but the staff simply detracts so strongly from the experience that we will never go back.
Nano was once a favorite spot of ours to grab a burger and a good brew. However, after multiple encounters with some of the most severely rude and slow service I have ever encountered we are finally saying no more.
Unfortunately, it seems to have become common place for Nano to hire staff that finds it acceptable to ignore customers, speak in condescending tones, and generally act as though your presence is a burden. This attitude in combination with the kitchen’s general inability to provide food in a timely manner (i.e., less than an hour) is simply unacceptable.
While the concept of Nano Brew is great, especially on the rare occasion when accompanied by good service, we will never go back.
Thanks for the few good memories, but you can keep the rude service and hour long waits.

Every time I come here the staff in inconsistent, sometimes they do a good job sometimes they are awful, I honestly think they just hire any Joe Shmoe off the street. In particular the girl brunette bartender that has a nose piercing is consistently unpleasant. Does she hate her job? Doesn’t take much to smile and be nice to people. Place has a cool patio and a lot of potential but the staff ruins it.

This bar has a great location and set up. With both indoor and outdoor seating and bars, it’s an ideal place to spend a sunny afternoon drinking a beer and watching a baseball game…
The catch is that the bartenders, mostly one in particular (long beard) at the outdoor bar were completely rude. My boyfriend and I sat down and we waited 10 minutes to have anybody even make eye contact with us. There was food sitting in front of us from the people beforehand and it wasn’t cleared until we finally got their attention. I understand places get busy, but even some sort of acknowledgement that we sat down and that they’d get with us shortly would have been appreciated.

Visited Nano Brew once again on a recent bar crawl in Ohio City with a group of friends. We sat on the patio and ordered some beer and food. The beer was great, as usual. We ordered the mac n cheese balls again, and I ordered the Philly steak sandwich. The food was served pretty quickly and it was tasty. I tried some fried pickles, which were delicious. My Philly steak sandwhich was just okay. The beef was seasoned well, but there wasn’t enough of it. I know authentic Philly cheese steaks DO come wit Cheese Wiz or wit out it, and this Philly is true to that heritage. However, I don’t really like Cheese Wiz and I love mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Wish this sandwich had a different cheese and more veggies. Otherwise, pretty good. I really don’t like their wafer fries, as they’re hard/​crispy. I prefer my wafer fries hot and soft. I think the fries missed the mark.
The beer is excellent, the food is pretty good.

So, we are here on a Sunday night. Almost empty location.
The night took a turn when a client insulted the bartender Angie .she took care of it, with her of another staff, kudos to both, as we were able to enjoy the night duche free!
Oh yeah, and they have a nice select of beers.

I’m disappointed in this place, I really liked coming here (good beer selection, nice atmosphere) but last time I was here they double-​charged my credit card. Because of how they handled it, I won’t be back. I called them the next business day and talked to a manager, and he treated me like some drunk idiot that forgot what she spent. He said he’d «check into it» and call me back and never did. I gave them 2 business days to return my call, when they did not, I filed a dispute with my bank. Had he checked, he would have seen that I signed the receipt for the correct amount (which I have a copy of) and the 2^nd charge has no signature (because they ran it after I left-​our servers switched halfway through, I told the 2^nd server to combine the 2 tabs, which she did, and I paid. They then ran the first tab again later in the night).
Simple mistake, but because of how they handled it (or really, didn’t) I won’t be returning. There are plenty of other options to choose from! Check your credit card statements!

I sat at the bar. Bartender came right up to me and asked what I wanted. Being that I have never been here I needed a second to take a look. After a couple we contacts later the bartender came back. I ordered and asked for food menu. 20 minutes later I’m sitting here and no one comes back. A couple sits next to me and is also irritated no one is helping them. I related to the couple that I’ve been waiting too. Finally a woman bartender comes over to the couple (who sat down way after me) to ask if they need anything. Completely ignoring me! I had to get her attention. Told her I’ve been waiting for a bit. She didn’t even bat an eyelash just cashed me out for my beer. Two stars for good beer and none for customer service. I’m bummed.

Nano Brew is in the vibrant Ohio City neighborhood in Cleveland, just across the river from the heart of downtown. They have three different bar areas, with many beers and ciders on tap. My friends and I split the waffle fries appetizer with four side sauces, which went great with our cold afternoon beers. I’ll be back to Nano!

Nano Brew is my favorite bar on W. 25^th. It’s much bigger than it seems, consisting of three large, separate bar areas and an open back patio. The patios is a fantastic weekend hangout during those hot summer days. Giant jenga is a great way to entertain during the cold winter days inside. Dog-​friendly and lots of parking for bikes. Even some tune up tools are stuck to the wall for minor bike repairs.
They have some great bar grub. There are a lot of interesting burger combinations on the menu that I have never seen before and the menu changes regularly with the specials of the day. I have had a few burgers from here and they are tasty. Definitely a favorite while drinking.
They also have a good selection of beers to go around. Like many bars, the beers sometimes go through a rotation, so you won’t always see the same brews being served. My favorite thing? They have a lot of bartenders out. More than any other bar I’ve seen. I feel like I get served more quickly than any of the other W. 25^th bars, and that’s a huge plus for impatient-​me.

first time here. decided on the place due to location in ohio city.
We were not that hungry, so we only got a nano brew and two appetizers.
Beer: Nano Tandem Cruiser Lemon Radler. It was a light beer. I could taste the lemon. It was a warm, sunny day, appropriate for the day.
Chicken Nannugets: They were beer battered chicken nuggets. The hot honey mustard was strong at times, it somehow really hit my sinuses. I liked the Mumbo sauce, sort of like a sweet and sour.
Nano Sliders: They were above par. Would I get them again? Probably not, but they were good.
Overall Impression:
The décor of the place, the deck, was really nice. They sate me and my gf the furthest seat from the entrance, we were wondering if we would even get waters. They eventually came and things went smoothly from there. I think I would try this place out again, especially with the décor and outdoors-​y deck look, but the food was about par for me.

Nano Brewery is a great staple bar and restaurant for Ohio City.
Their food is good. The menu isn’t huge but they change up their specials daily and it’s always delicious.
They sell their own beer as well as other local beers. The staff there is always really friendly which is a major plus.
They expanded a few months ago and bought the space next door. There is a lot more room for movement — thank god. Nano recently redid the outdoor patio and it’s awesome! The now have an upper deck and more space on the side. It’s a major improvement.
They have trivia on Tuesday which is really fun. I love this place and frequent it very often!

I first fell in love with Nano when I tried their Peanut Butter & Jelly Burger a while back. With a great selection of beer and burgers this place was a favorite of mine and I was excited for their expansion. The new patio is stunning and made for a great gathering spot for weeknight drinks but if you are planning on going on a weekend forget about it.
A few friends and I stopped in for food on a Saturday afternoon just a few weeks back and were met with some of the slowest and unhelpful service I have encountered in a while. We ordered 2 appetizers and entrée among the 4 of us and it took us over and hour to get the first appetizer. With only one of our 2 apps we were looking to our server for answers and he was hard to get a hold of. Once our second app made it to us we were informed ours was sent to the wrong table. Tracking down our waiter to pay our bill was even more of hassle we had the tables surrounding us working to flag him down for us as well.
Trying not to discount the experience we returned again last weekend and ordered food from the bar it still came out in segments.
I really want to fall back in love with Nano, but recent experiences lend me to believe that the service can’t keep up with the shinny new space.
