Very nice vibe. Great attentive bartender. Great beer selection of house, local and guest brews. In an area saturated with breweries and craft beer bars this place stood out to me.

Hectic weekend vibe, bar was packed but we got seats on the other side, in the second room. Close to the market, so there were a lot of tourists and families. Some guy at the bar started a rant about how all beers should follow the Reinheitsgebot, and I stopped listening.
Towards the back of the front room is the tiny brewhouse, truly nano. The fermenters are absurdly small.
Service at the bar was a bit slow but attentive once it cleared out some. The burgers looked pretty standard issue but we didn’t eat here.
House beers were ok, a decent lager, some haze and a session IPA I believe. We stopped in to try a semi-spontaneous “ancient ale” which had already kicked. They do rotating weekly small batch beers, which is cool. Guest beers were good, they had Fatheads/FFF Special Hoperations which was all I needed.
Overall it’s ok, not really a must stop or destination by any means, but they manage a nice draft selection.

Smaller taproom, with a pretty small patio outside. Surrounded by good beer places, so it makes this spot not a real must hit. The beer is fine, but the service and selection aren't all that great.

This is a relatively small bar that has expanded over time, offering a nice selection of lesser-known craft brews, on top of a few of their own brews from time to time, which may or may not be from Market Garden down the street. I'm not entirely clear, as their mission statement seems to have shifted over time, so it's best to find out from the people there yourself.
The food is all right, generally some snacks and all that.
All in all, Nano is a nice little stop on a more expansive bar crawl, but, that's it. This street is just overloaded with options.

My folks and I were in town for 24 hours before heading to Canton for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony and stopped in at a couple places. This was one of them. They also had probably the best beer I've had all year here. A dry-hopped marzen that they had brewed a single cask of. The beer was hand pumped from the cask that had been resting at room temperature. It was perfect. A little nutty. A little toffee. Well balanced and wonderfully complex. The bartender was friendly and informative, pointing us to a few other breweries in the area. He was fairly knowledgable of the brews he was serving up. The selection was a little give and take. I think they had maybe 5 of there own brews on tap and about 30 or so of everyone else's beers. Though they were good brews. Oberon from Bell's. Some Founders. Left Hand and Great Divide. Boulevard and many more. The place was a little empty and my mother was just dumbfounded at the people ordering Corona's but it was a fun, open environment to consume several awesome brews. We didn't eat but I vaguely remember there being a food menu.
God that Marzen was the best...

The food is amazing. The beer list is decent and they have a couple of their own brews on tap and they are pretty good. The service was horrible. Actually, horrible would be a step up. Not only was the waitress inattentive, she was downright rude. When I ultimately had to track her down to pay she got very mouthy and I ended up asking for the manager. And it was't busy at all a few tables and maybe three people at the bar. Do try the food, but don't plan on getting any service.

I checked this place out for the second time before a Gladiators game. The interior of the building is brick with some iron decor. The bar is along the right wall as you walk in. They had about 18-20 beers on tap with two being in house. I tried the hefe which was okay. The place was not that busy, but it was two in the afternoon.
I ordered the schnitzel. It was a tasty dish. It came with German potato salad. My buddy ordered the sliders which he seemed to enjoy. There is a small patio out back. The interior of this place reminded me of the Map Room in Chicago a little bit.
The service was good, but there would have been no excuse not to be considering the meager crowd. It prefer the other establishments in the area i.e. Great Lakes, Market Garden, and Bier Market, but this place is definitely worth checking out. Ohio City is a great area of Cleveland to explore.
