Looking for a change of pace? A visit to an unforgettable meadery in Cleveland just might do the trick. Mead, if you’re not familiar with it, is a beverage made of fermented honey, often mixed with fruits, grains, or spices to round out its flavor. Often called “honey wine,” this historic drink has been coveted by several ancient cultures… and, now, it has a place in the modern city of Cleveland, Ohio. Prepare for a visit to one of Cleveland’s coolest meaderies, and bring your sense of competition… you’re going to need it for the pinball machines!
Craving a change of pace? Look no further than Bottlehouse Brewery.
Pictured here is Bottlehouse Brewery & Meadery, located in Cleveland Heights. It's one of two Greater Cleveland locations that belong on your bucket list, whether you're a beer person or a mead person.
Both Bottlehouse Brewery & Meadery in Cleveland Heights and Bottlehouse Brewery & Mead Hall in Lakewood (pictured) have an incredible ambiance that'll take you back in time - as well as awesome pinball games!
Bottlehouse's operations, from the brews to the ambiance, are inspired by the community. This isn't some neighborhood sports bar where you go and watch sports on a giant TV all night... this is the kind of local brewery where you sit back, sip some good brews, and play a board game or two.

There's nothing like barrel-aged mead, and nobody in the area does it quite like Bottlehouse. If you find something you like during your visit, consider snagging a bottle to go... nothing quite compares to pulling out a bottle of mead at your next get together!
And regardless of which location you decide to visit, you'll want to bring some change for a few games of pinball.
Pinball is an old-school arcade game that'll evoke memories of childhood. Line up with your friends and see who can keep their ball suspended the longest... it's a great way to bond and also an awesome opportunity to earn bragging rights.
Like their drink offerings, the menu is constantly evolving. Comfort food and farm-to-table are their focus, however, so come with an appetite! Swing by their website to plan your trip in advance.
