Willoughby Brewing Company

While visiting family, we wanted to check out local breweries. We were impressed by the size of WBC, and wished it was warmer because there is a beautiful patio. We were given two seating options bar where there would be a band or the dining side. We were happy we chose the bar side because a local band was playing, Flannel Planet. I recommend them as well. Although there were a few hiccups with service and a order mixup the management handled it appropriately. Both the beer and food menu offered a large variety. We were pleased with the beers, good tastes and quality. I would go back, and as a plus if it was warmer, the outdoor patio is dog friendly.

I was really pleased with the food and beer! I had a flight of 6 beers, all of which were tasty. The buffalo cauliflower was some of the best I've ever had, and the chocolate layer cake...I'd actually go back just for that. I highly recommend checking it out! The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is because we couldn't get our check until I went inside to find our server.

I made my own pie with red peppers and the house made chorizo and this is what I’m talking about! Fantastic pricing for what you get here. The crust was nice and airy, so don’t expect a NY slice here. The red peppers were fresh and tender and the the chorizo was exactly as promised. It had some nice crispy bits from the oven and a warm spice from the sausage itself. Michael was the best waiter I’ve ever had and made the experience even better. I could only finish 2/3 and I had not eaten that day so this is definitely shareable. Get over here and grab a slice or whatever sandwich you want! You won’t be disappointed.

You really can’t go wrong at WBC. Solid beer choices. Everyone knows the PB Porter. But venture out and try the Nut Smasher. It has become our favorite by far. Great menu. Several options, can’t go wrong with any of them. Have been there on a date night, with a huge group killing time before a wedding reception or just there to watch a game. Has never disappointed. Also easy access to the very walkable downtown Willoughby area. Note on parking. The lot fills up quickly and there may be a small charge ($5 generally). There is free parking available, but can be limited and often overflows into a large park down a steepish drive. If you’re not sure footed, plan accordingly.
