I love Fatheads

What the title says.

It's a micro brewery that opened down the street (North Olmsted)a few years ago. They have 10 or so of their own brews each week. 3-5 are changed weekly. They are all good and the food is outstanding.

My favorite is Goggle Fogger. It's a cloudy wheat beer. Mmmmm. I want one now. I usually go a couple times a month. Get there early if you want a bar seat. It gets crowded fast on weekends.

They have good beers but fuck that resturant so much. Terrible service, terrible bartenders and overpriced to shit. I've given that place several chances and everytime I leave wanting to punch multiple employees

Try Cornerstone Brewery in Berea. Smaller, intimate, better, food is regular pub fare and decent. Being smaller they have 5 or 6 selections. Only 2 TV's and those are muted with closed caption on, which is great because you don't go to a pub like that to watch TV, but if you want you can without it being obnoxious. so many times, I'd like to go somewhere but don't because of blaring multiple TV's showing sports. If I wanted adult chuck-E-cheese, I'd go to Dave&Busters or whatever that place is called, or a casino.

Had a chance to go here about a month or so ago. Food was terrible and beers were as expected. Place is huge and didnt have an empty seat. Once I got the food I couldnt believe that many people would eat there.

Fatheads in NO was just ok. Its for folks who either don't drink a lot of beer or drink American style "lite" beers. It gives them a chance to try something different. Its an old market with tall ceilings and open spaces where sound echoes off all the surfaces and too many TV's to satisfy the youngsters with short attention spans. It can hold a lot of people standing around. I think I also saw that, for me at least, were another very big no-no for my ever going back and that was pool tables and video games. Is that what I saw when I went past?

I grew up in NO and hated it so I have a built in aversion to any NO bars, so that explains my somewhat scathing view of the place.  Take the following for what you think its worth.

 

I can see why people like it but I'm definitely not a fan of loud crowded places.  The food is served in obnoxious large portions so it floats well in the eyes of people that like getting a lot, but don't care much about quality.  It's like an overgrown crApplebees.  I'll go there if I have to, but can think of countless better places to be.  That face they stick everywhere pisses me off too. 

 

Beer is alright but nothing sensational.  It is better than the Rocky River BrewCo which I believe is where the brewmaster at Fatheads got started.  The Oompa Loompa mentioned above used to be an RRBC beer.

 

Yes, there is one thing I do like about the place.  It keeps the NO townies in NO and out of the places I like to go. 

 

If you want to know a little secret, when you've waited an hour for the table promited in 30-40 minutes, try the little sushi place across the lot.  Prices are nice so you can try multiple things, and you won't leave feeling sick since you didn't stuff down a bucket of french fries.
