Undoubtedly the best bar in the Uptown/CWRU campus area. The beers are inexpensive with a wide selection and the food is stellar. The Sunday all-you-can-eat wings deal is the best in town! Most importantly, the staff is always friendly. I've been a patron since they changed from Wackadoos and still love the libations and the environment. An absolute must-stop for CWRU students and anyone who works in University Circle.
This is a VERY good brewery. They do their styles dead on and for a tiny place, they have an amazing variety on tap. The menu is solid and the staff is insanely friendly. Kind of hard to find but well worth the search.

Whenever I feel nostalgic about the amazing time I spent cramming for tests in the university, I head on over to the Jolly Scholar. I love the vibe and their huge selection of beers. I also like the collegiate terminology that they use to name their beers like ‘emeritus’, etc. I love their Jolly Spritz and the jolly blonde ale that are perfect for summer. But, most of all, I love their vegan chicken nuggets that are made out of mushrooms. You will not believe how amazing these are - they taste absolutely like the real chicken nuggets and even better!!! I couldn’t believe that this was not chicken!!! Go check this place out - it’s absolutely fantastic!!
Awesome location, it sits on CWRU. The actual brewpub is located inside Thwing Center. You will need to park on the street surrounding or you could park in the university hospital parking ramp and walk over.
The atmosphere is fun and inviting, spacious and great music 🎶 🎵. Service was prompt and welcoming. I'd recommend checking this place out for a drink or a milkshake!
It's kind of tucked away in the University Circle area but a nice change of pace from the restaurants down the street. Worth a visit when the weather is good.
Great in house beers at an unbeatable price. $4.50 a pint. Food and service are okay as they have a lot of student employees but it never takes away from the experience. Definitely my go to spot to grab a drink or socialize in university circle. Just wished they were open a bit later.
It was nice to have late dinner here. Also, I could use student meal plan swipe. One downside is that sometimes grubhub doesn't work when I try to order foods in advance, especially when trying to use more than one meal swipe
The gist: likely a great dinner option, maybe not the best for lunch if you’re short on time. Went around lunch time with two families in August. It was very quiet and there seemed to be only a few people on wait staff- a server and a bartender. Service was on the slower side, but for only one waitress making rounds this was very understandable!! Food also took a decent amount of time but I’m assuming the kitchen staff was also limited. Despite all this, the food was delish and the atmosphere was great!! The visit was ultimately perfect for people wanting to catch up.
Stopped for a quick lunch while visiting Case Western Reserve University. Burgers were delicious, reasonably priced and our server was super friendly. The place has such a cool vibe! We recommend highly and will definately be back.
Courtney is by far the most flawless bartender you could ever hope for. I received some of the worst transpondence possible, yet she made my feelings feel heard, while also juggling several other patrons. Her ability to empathize while taking care of every other customer is unmatched. I will be going back if just to have hopes of someone as incredible as her, or at least the same, most excellent beer on tap
We visited from out of town and found this place with good reviews not realizing it was on a college campus. Having never been before, it was still relatively easy to find. Great beer and food at great prices!
Great selection of brews! Have yet to try the food but it always looks delicious. It is located in a college building so it can get crowded during the traditional school year but is open year round. I like how they kept the “scholar” theme on their menu, ranking beers from lighter ABV to higher based on degrees.
