The setting is a warehouse and a little to big but would be great on a busy not or for an event. Of course, R. SheaBrewing has a nice selection of beers. The food was a nice surprise. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it was very good.The fried chicken was a nice touch and cheese was on point. The crust was one of the best I've had in Akron...house made...notto thick or thin and was cooked through. The OG Brewhoyse burger was also very good..beer cheese sauce was excellent...howeverthe burger is always cooked well done and it was a little tough but flavorful. Overall a great experience and we are excited togo back and try some more brews and great food!

The place is one of the coolest places I have seen! The Taco pizza is amazing and every beer I triedwas just as good as the next! Fried pickles and a flight of beer! All were in my top 5! This is a must visit if you are doingthe Ohio On Tap trail!!!

While the atmosphere initially seems appealing, it quickly becomes unpleasant due to the concert-like volume. This just isn’t my scene.

However, the food quality has significantly declined. It seems like everything is frozen now, which wasn't the case before. This is disappointing because the food used to be excellent all around. It would be better to cut costs in other areas, as we won’t be returning for a meal until there’s an improvement in the food. It's truly a letdown.
