Review of East End Restaurant and Bar

Located in the historic and reclaimed (from ruins)...

Located in the historic and reclaimed (from ruins) Flats district, Collision Bend brewing offers up a great experience in what many would consider the Hipster district of the Cleveland Metro area.

Offering up its own unique blend of quality ales, and an atmosphere that rivals some of the best breweries I have visited in the country, collision Bend is definitely a destination visit for me going forward.

Despite a slow start on customer service after my arrival, Management and lead brewer, and the bar staff stepped up their game and offered a truly personal experience that easily rivals others. I would personally put this brewery among one of my of my favorite haunts in Saint Louis, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, Houston, and Denver metro areas.

Be sure to try out their limited release seasonal ales, as well is their staples. They have a solid malt build on all, and provide a clean and easy drinking option for those that like that, Hoppy for those individuals, as well as a dark side that can warm the soul. Even if it is cold outside, be sure to check out their vast patio that offers shoreline views of the Cuyahoga river, and downtown Cleveland.
