Autumn in Ohio is a magical time. Our landscape is a true treat, but some of the best features of the season can be found on the menus of local restaurants and breweries. Spiced ales, comfort food, and friendly service can feel especially welcoming once the air has a particular chill to it. Of course, this exact sentiment is reflected at the very core of one of the best bars in Cleveland, making it the perfect addition to any Ohio fall day trip. Prepare to be cozy, because this awesome brewery is sure to treat your taste buds.
In a place that's nicknamed Forest City, one would naturally expect an impressive autumn.
While the origins of Cleveland's nickname are somewhat debatable, the moniker Forest City has a lengthy history. The first area business to feature this name opened in 1850, causing many to assume its invention is linked with local horticulturalist William Case. Case, which is a name you still might spot on local landmarks, encouraged the planting of trees in the 1840s.
Forest City Brewery, a cozy little tavern located between Tremont and Ohio City, is one of the coziest places to spend an autumn day.
With 40 seats, this cozy space is rather intimate. It is overflowing with history... even the bar top is built from a former pew! If your bartender has a free moment, don't be afraid to ask about the historical elements adorning the space!
This bar is quirky in the best kind of way. They frequently host events like clam bakes and barbecues, yoga, haunted tours, and pumpkin carving fundraisers.
Speaking of events, the annual Pumpkin Carving Fundraiser is one you won't want to miss.
This event is young in relation to the age of this eccentric neighborhood, but it's quickly become a hit with locals. You'll enjoy the opportunity to carve pumpkins and support a local school while you're at it! Click here for more information.
Whether you come during an event or just to unwind, you absolutely must indulge in one of their beers.
Nothing compares to local brews, but Forest City Brewery's small batch beers are particularly flavorful. They also serve wine and liquor, but their brews are so delectable that you just might want to take home a growler.
And bring your appetite, because you'll want to enjoy some of their mouthwatering small bites.
The selections of small plates at this tavern is perfect for a fall night. Warm Bavarian pretzels, cheddar bratwurst, and garlic knots are like a warm hug for your taste buds. You can find their full menu here.
