The brewpub/restaurant has a lot character. It is set in the second floor an old 19th Century hotel that also houses several other businesses, including a steakhouse, pastery shop, pub, restaurant and brewery. Each of these are very distinctive. It also contains a wonderful collection of beer memorabilia in the Toledo Brewing Hall of Fame & Museum. The glassed-in copper colored mash tun and kettle are the defining features of the pub. The Tap Room (bar) on the main floor (second floor) also has a mixed old world new world character with brick walls and new wood tables and chairs both raised and regular height.. The wood bar is located on the far wall with a large selection of spirits and booze in front of a large mirrored wall. They serve only Maumee Bay beers with 11 taps flowing, some regular, others seasonal.

Most of the beers are very good. For food, the specialty of the house is pizza, baked in a wood fired oven. The menu is pretty full featured and diverse, since it is adjoined by at least 2 resturants. I have sampled many items from the menu and found the food to be good but not great. The prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend this place for a good drinking and dining experience.

Yes, at Maumee Bay. Official entrance is in the back, but you can enter via the adjoining steak house front door, not an easy find. A fairly small bar room with not much of any ambience to mention. The beers are quite so-so. Codename: Gubblebum hefeweizen (A name based on a 3 Floyds wheat beer.), was the favored of the two beers tasted.

Big, restaurant with none of the soul of a straight up taproom. The building is cool and the beers I've had from them before and while I was there have always been solid, but pretty unremarkable. It's still one of those Ohio breweries that you really should check off of your list.

This is in a neat building near the Maumee River.....it has a large two story space which must be difficult to fill each night. The quality of the beer and food were average at best. The service was friendly and attentive. The selection of beers was so so....plenty on the food menu to choose from. The food was ok....nachos were pretty good but the duck wings were not my style.

Enjoyed dinner and a flight of beers here recently and really enjoyed both. I also really liked the great old building, decor and nice view of the brewery. Someone has a great collection of historical beer items and they are displayed nicely throughout the brewpub. All of the beers were very solid and a couple were quite unique.

I had two Amarillo Brillo. A very good Double IPA. The pastrami dip sandwich was okay. Probably get something different if I go again. My wife's chicken sandwich was better. The main reason for writing this post is the service. The service was fine. Our server was under the legal drinking age and was not able to guide us to the beers we may like. He was very capable and attentive as a server but I want to hear what the help likes. Sorry for the condescending sounding remark to our server. We will go back.

My buddy and I went on a day trip to the area. I had their breakfast stout prior to the visit and it was really great. Highlight was the food, you'll definitely get your money's worth. We were unsure about getting a few beers and the bartenders provided us with free samples which was great to see. Very friendly staff. We will be going back for sure.

Stopped by Maumee this past weekend, wanted to check out some of their stouts on draft, all were good. Grabbed a half growler of the double shot espresso stout togo. Wanted to shout out the bartender who filled the growler, it was done perfect. right to the top. I got worried when he walked away from the fill, but the taps had a flow control to slow the fill, very impressed.

I visited for dinner with a group a co-workers during a 2 day team meeting and I was very impressed with this brewery. It has a very old-world, dark style to it that feels completely different than the typical industrial warehouse style brewery that is so popular right now. This is a multi-story brewery/restaurant with a very good food menu and nice selection of both food and beer. They cover several different types of both food and beer, covering a wide variety of tastes and desires. There are some tvs around but they are fairly small. There is plenty of seating to go around and conversation is very easy due to the quietness of the place.

Really enjoyed this brewery. Entering the brewery feels like going back in time with all the old brewery memorabilia on the walls. They had at least 10-14 different brews on tap. A sampler flight was cheap, I believe under $10. Most importantly the quality of the beer was very solid. I had a nitro coffee cream ale that was a solid B-, A blood orange wit that was very fitting to style a B, glass hopper IPA B to B+ simple but very well balance, the total eclipse coffee stout was awesome-easily an A- or better, I honestly cannot recall the last two beers of the sampler off hand but they were at least C+ to B- quality. Overall, the beer was average to slightly above average.

The wait staff were awesome! Great service without being overbearing. The pizza was awesome. Well worth the visit. Will definitely revisit

This place needs more love. The food is always delicious (try the French dip) and the beer is consistently satisfying (total eclipse breakfast stout is a great one). But the greatest part of this place is the atmosphere and the staff who are always professional while being friendly. Everything is very reasonably priced for the quantity and quality

Cool location and if your a fan of breweriana, lots to look at. Service was very good and the food was as well. There were 10 house beers on tap and all were good, nothing spectacular but all solid. Wourth the visit if your in Toledo.

Very large place, and worth the visit for the memorabilia even if you don't drink beer. It is like a museum. There is a brick oven, wood-fired oven and some great food. The service was excellent, and they have carry out sales, including singles.

Vibe was 4.2.. just due to the fact that there were bartenders my girlfriend and I... Now I would give the 5 of us a solid 5 for having a kick ass vibe of our own. But I am in fact reviewing the bar. The beers were drank were really good, I had the Glass Hopper and the Blood Orange wit. And MI lady had the red said on and calypso lemon. The service was spot on excellent. And they had a nice selection of quality beers..
We didn't try any food...
I would recommend any and all go to Maumee bay Brewing...
