Our server, Adam, was one of the best servers we’ve had. Drinks were spot on and beer was impeccable. Highly recommend the popcorn.
We came on a cold Sunday afternoon. Restaurant was empty (it was 3 pm). We sat at the bar that had about 10 people. Our bartender (Missy) was really nice and knowledgeable about the beers and food. We shared the Asian chop salad as our starter (came out very quickly and was delicious) and the vegetarian chick pea stew as our meal (delicious, hearty, huge portion!). We enjoyed our beer flights too! The Interior is really amazing...loved the chains and rope elements. We can’t wait to come back over the summer (with the boat!) to try their huge patio!
Collision Bend is overall a solid spot for a drink and a bite downtown. The beers were the best part of the meal - clean and crisp and varied in style and flavor. Food was typical for what you’d find at a brewpub, and was good, if unremarkable. The dining space was very large and decorated in industrial chic - and was also packed with people celebrating parties (service was also quite slow as a result). If we were to return, it would be during the off hours… and during the summer to enjoy the outdoor patio and view of the river.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding reception at Collision Bend Brewing Company, and I can't express how thrilled I am with the entire experience. My wife and I eloped and decided to have a celebration back home, and Collision Bend Brewing Company made it an unforgettable event.
The venue itself is nothing short of perfection. It exudes an intimate and cozy atmosphere that was ideal for our reception. The staff were not only accommodating but genuinely great. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and taken care of.
The drinks were flowing throughout the night, and I must say, the Blackberry Shandy quickly became my personal favorite. It's refreshing to have such a delicious and unique brew as a highlight of the evening.
For the catering, we opted for the Taco bar, and our expectations were not just met; they were surpassed. The quality of the food and the service went far beyond what we could have hoped for. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it was evident that Collision Bend Brewing Company takes great pride in delivering an exceptional experience for their guests.
One of the standout moments was when the general manager personally checked in on us throughout the evening. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our guests' satisfaction was both impressive and greatly appreciated. He even made sure that parking was readily available, which was a thoughtful touch.
Our waitress, who happened to be minoring in photography, went above and beyond. She volunteered to take pictures for us using our camera, capturing over 800 precious moments during the event. The photos turned out absolutely amazing and have become cherished memories of our special day.
And, of course, I can't forget the bartender who was always on point. The seamless service at the bar ensured that our guests were well taken care of, making for a truly enjoyable evening.
In conclusion, Collision Bend Brewing Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Our wedding reception was a beautiful, unforgettable celebration, and we owe a huge thank you to the incredible team at Collision Bend for making it all possible. If you're looking for a perfect venue with exceptional service and a memorable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Collision Bend Brewing Company. They helped make our special day absolutely perfect.

I simply cannot say enough amazing things about Collision Bend Brewing. My husband and I booked them for our October wedding and they completely blew us away from start to finish.
Venue
Wedding pro tip: find a beautiful wedding venue and you can save a ton on decor.
The view of the river from the outdoor patio was a fantastic backdrop for our ceremony, and the dining area had perfect lighting for the reception. We spent almost nothing on decor, but all our guests raved about how beautiful the location was.
Wedding coordination
Ashley Ehrhardt is. Absolutely. Phenomenal. She made the planning process so easy for us, and was quick to accommodate our requests. A lot of services were also already included as part of their wedding day offering (tableware, sound system, food, etc.), which saved us a ton of headaches.
The day-of staff was very attentive and quick to troubleshoot issues. I will forever remember Molly coming to my aid with hot tea and snacks in between photos.
Food + Drink
We had a buffet-style reception and the food was wonderful. Multiple friends told us it was the best food they’d had at a wedding (my brother-in-law actually wanted to go back for pizza the next day). They were also kind enough to prepare additional plates for guests with dietary restrictions. The late-night snacks and open bar were also a hit. Highly recommend the pretzel bites!
If you’re thinking of booking Collision Bend for your wedding, just do it. They made our wedding the happiest day of their lives, and our guests are still complimenting the venue weeks later. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Collision Bend team!

This place has it all right. From service to food to the atmosphere, it's all great!
Our waitress was so nice with an awesome sense of humor. She was awesome at helping me decide what to order. When I asked about substituting a side, she said, "Like T.I. said, 'You can have whatever you want." And the rap rhymes & jokes kept coming. I don't remember her name, but I know she also works in EMS.
The location is just perfect. We sat outside because the day was gorgeous, right on the water, across from the Nautica Pavillion, a slight breeze, and the view was sheer joy. I debated sitting outside, but I'm so glad we did.
Now on to the food. ORDER ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S ALL GOOD! We had the herb roasted chicken with brocollini & fingerling potatoes, braised Short Rib with Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes, a shareable side of mac-n-cheese, and for dessert the brownie, cheesecake and ice cream. Were we greedy? Absolutely! But we left feeling good about every single choice we made. I honestly was a little worried about this place but it's so worth it. There was even a little bird that kept eyeing our food...👀
Beautiful lakefront views. Awesome service. Great beer, cocktails, and food. The Fried Green Tomato Sando was so unexpectedly delicious! However the best item on the menu is their Brussels Sprouts. Order them and thank me later!! One of the few good spots for food in the Flats.
Very fun place to enjoy a summer day at! The nachos have a great blend of greens and meat! The flavor and chip to ingredients ratio is excellent! The pretzel is fluffy, it is a bold sweet and salty taste paired with a great beer cheese! The drinks across the table are enjoyable! The service was non invasive while keeping the table satisfied!
Absolutely beautiful spot with several great spaces including an awesome patio and outdoor bar on the waterfront. Both of the beers I had were excellent and our bartender was exceptionally friendly and welcoming - definitely a brewery I would come back to next time I am in Cleveland.
Collision Bend Brewing was nicer than I expected. I met my friend here thinking it would be a hole in the wall, but we pretty much sat on Lake Erie.
I ordered soup and pizza. It was delicious. The service was good, and everyone was friendly. I am very grateful for the experience.
I was nervous about going to the Flats, but parking was easy, and the restaurant had plenty of room to sit any group that came down for lunch.
I am not sure when but I will retire to try other dishes on the menu
Collision Bend Brewing Company was great. I ordered the walleye sandwich, and it was fantastic—flavorful and satisfying. Not only did I love my meal, but everyone in our group enjoyed their dishes as well. The variety of options on the menu catered to different tastes, making it a hit with all of us. The overall dining experience was great, and I recommend Collision Bend Brewing Company.
