Nice place,very quiet. Had the Marzen Octoberfest and it was really tasty. Very laid back, grab a beer or cider and chill kind of vibe. Had the chicken tenders with hot honey drizzle and an order of fries that were really good too.
It's a pretty chill place with a fun theme- picnic tables inside (and outside on the summer), as well as games, local brews and small, simple bites. The last couple of times we've come, it's been pleasantly crowded, but the tiny kitchen got overwhelmed and actually had to close for a bit to catch up. It was a bummer that our friends had to wait 20 more minutes before ordering their food. But they made up for it, sort of, by offering a few extra chicken fingers. Overall, another fun place to go on Lee Rd.

BottleHouse Brewery & Mead Hall was such a fun surprise!
💜 The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, with plenty of indoor seating and unique décor that gives it a cozy yet modern feel.
The mead barrels, greenery, and lighting create a space that's perfect whether you're meeting friends, having date night, or just relaxing with a drink.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their impressive selection of craft beers and meads.
If you're looking for a place with great food, outstanding drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere, BottleHouse is definitely worth a visit.
We'll absolutely be back! For my daughter's wedding in September

Local institution.
Edit a year later: This is my go-to local haunt for trivia on Mondays and hanging out any day of the week. We hosted our anniversary party here and had an absolute blast.
I have to say, this place was huge. There was a ton of seating both indoor and outdoor with the view of the main drag. The pizzas are where its at. The staff is friendly and the selection of beers was great for anyone with a different pallette.

I came here a lot between 2022 and 2025 when I lived in Cleveland. The beer has always been top notch even for Cleveland but I have to say the food has gotten much better since Eugene's first opened its kitchen inside. I used to think differntly about them but in 2026 these may be the best fries in the city. The vegan dumplings were very high quality and you can't tell that a lot of skill and intent went into the non-meag dishes. I would definitely recommend stopping
Overall, I like this place, and go often. Sadly, the recent changes to the menu are super disappointing. Eugene used to be my favorite fried chicken, but I noticed the seasoning didn't taste as flavorful one day recently. I thought maybe it was a fluke, but the same happened again the next time. Then the fries changed for the wore as well. I had heard Bottlehouse was under new ownership, but I figured that since Eugene was separate, it wouldn't affect the food. Too bad I was wrong and the new ownership now controls the kitchen as well. $15 for 5 tenders that are worse than they used to be is just not going to keep me coming back.
