Red, Wine & Brew - Mentor in other cities:
We had a large party to celebrate a special event. Our waitress was fantastic, and very attentive. We ordered charcuterie and a pizza/flatbread for the table as hors d’oeuvres and they were both delicious. We also ordered beer and wine from the menu. The bottle of Chardonnay we had at a ridiculously low price was wonderful. The red wine was also delicious again at a ridiculously low price for a restaurant. Then we ordered our entrées. I had the vegetable risotto which tasted wonderful but was cold. The other entrées looked very appealing and according to my guests they were delicious. One guest received an entrée that was burnt, and she was quite upset however the kitchen made some more that were cooked properly and brought them out to her. I just asked them to heat up my risotto but instead they made me another plate of it. The head Chef came out to speak with us and everything was resolved. The restaurant was packed that evening and it was very busy so the attention was appreciated. In spite of the two little hiccups this was a great experience and it’s a really good restaurant. We will come back again. Hope you soon open for lunch.
This place is one of my favorite spots in NE Cleveland. Having a massive cigar and craft beer collection is a great way to enjoy a night out. Their food is also very good, lots of options. I do wish they had a larger bourbon menu. This is a must see place while in Mentor.
Beer selection is phenomenal here. It is my go to when I’m looking to try new beers. They also have a wine and cigar selection that seems extensive but I am not a connoisseur of either of those things so I cannot truly speak to the selection quality. They also have a bar/ restaurant in the other side of the building, where you can purchase from their vast beer selection.
Best place, hands down, to have a beer, flatbread, and cigar.They have a wide variety of beers available in the beer cooler. If you smoke, cigars and an outdoor smoking area are available. Their menu is not lacking in food items to try as well.The place also doubles as a wine and beer store if youre not inclined to sit down at a restaurant.
Stop when you have time to look around. You will not be disappointed. Best beer selection around by far. When you need a break from the beer and wine decisions, head to the lounge area and grab some food. I recommend the Pretzels. Light crisp on the outside but soft on the inside.
The wine and beer selection at Red, Wine, and Brew is great. The wine experts are very helpful and informative. This part of the establishment I would give 5 stars. The restaurant/lounge area is what brought the rating down for me. While the atmosphere is nice, the restaurant is extremely understaffed. We waited an hour for a table only to wait another 30 minutes for a server once seated. This did not seem to be due to the servers incompotance, but rather managements habit of understaffing the very busy lounge. When we did finally get our food, I quickly realized that what I ordered contained eggs, which I am allergic to. It took another hour to get the check so that we could leave the restaurant.
Visited recently with family. 11 people in our group. Fabulous selection of beers. Wine selections were reasonable. I ordered a wine flight of reds. My wife enjoyed a vodka & tonic. Both were satisfacrory.We ordered the Gnocchi Cabernet ($14.) as our entree to share. Very disappointing. The beef tips were tender and tasty. The gnocchi was pitiful. I am not a cook but the gnocchi Ive seen prepared over the years has texture (tine lines) and shape. This dish had neither. Little balls of undercooked potato. We took half of the order home but never ate it.For dessert we enjoyed a well prepared Creme Brulee. Tasty and done perfectly.As a nightcap, I asked our waitress for aB & B and a regular coffee. She did not know what a Benedictine & brandy was but infomed me of an alrenative cognac, which I agreed to and enjoyed.RW&B is a fun, upbeat, mostly younger crowd. I suggest dining elsewhere prior to visiting.
I havent been to the dining portion of this business, but the retail side is amazing... A fabulous selection of beer, ale, wine, and cigars, without any overwhelming tobacco/smoke smell. I am quite pleased with this store and has become my go-to for low alcohol beverages.
Would love to leave a great review, but I can’t… I do love the store part of the restaurant, but the rest needs work. Just left Red Wine and Brew. We were seated and ignored. We bought a cold bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner and couldn’t get anyone to come to the table to open it. Our presence was not even acknowledged. This has happened several times now. Don’t think we will be going back. Made management aware of the poor service and he couldn’t have cared less! Left and went to Austin’s Grill down the street. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, we were immediately seated, acknowledged, and our order taken! Now sitting here enjoying a glass of wine.
A must stop every time I visit home. The restaurant is fantastic, always have great food and tried some things I never thought Id enjoy. The craft beer selection is fantastic, especially the singles, and their willingness to always break up a 6 pack of you want a single is greatly appreciated. The staff is always super friendly! Cant recommend enough.
When coming in tonight to have dinner, I witnessed a girl in her car smoking pot. Found out she is an employee of your restaurant. Her name Brandy. I walked into the restaurant and she smelled so bad I did not stay. I really hope this is not the type of activity that you allow on your property. Although I know pot is popular, it is still illegal. So allowing illegal activity on your property, to me, is not a good sign. I will not spend any money at your facility if she is working.Thank you
Friendly staff but sometimes hard to find someone as they always seem to be at the counter with customers. While there is a wide selection of different styles of wines, the wine selection seems thin the last few times I have stopped. The beer selection is vast. Always have the seasonal beers in front of the large back cooler with tons of craft beers and other coolers with other random imports. They have various large bombers to the right, along with the normal walk in cooler water beers, Bud, Miller, etc. They also have cigars. Mask required but no plexiglass at the checkout counter.
What a wonderful and unique place to go! They have hundreds of beers for only $3, and they have a wine store right next to the restaurant that would compare to any 5 star restaurant. And with no corkage fee you can feel free to indulge! They also recently hired a new executive chef who has brought some deliciously unique ideas to the restaurant, such as buffalo basil wings (to die for)! A great place for meeting up with old friends and spending hours catching up
Outstanding selection of wines and beers. You can buy bottles from the attached retail shop (also a cigar shop) and enjoy with dinner. Our service was superb (we were at the bar). Very enjoyable and unique experience. Glad we stumbled on this as we were in town overnight for business.
Amazing food, most extensive beer selection Ive ever seen, and pretty darn great wine selection. The service in the Lounge can be slow, so dont go there if youre in a rush, but if youve got the time the servers are really above and beyond. The draft list is ever-changing and really impressive.
Red, Wine, & Brew is an amazing place. They have, pretty much unquestionably, the best and widest variety of wine selection in the region. They even have a sommelier on staff who very much knows his stuff. For a superior wine selection experience I suggest visiting while he is on duty. He will make your visit for the perfect wine so much more successful.They do so a variety of brews and ciders, however, their selection here is not as varied. In a number of cases they dont carry obvious seasonal selections that leaves one scratching their head when compared to the wine selection.Lastly they dont sell hard alcohol. With that in mind this the ideal location to go for wine, a passable location for beer. On a positive note the staff is generally friendly and helpful.
Great selection of beer and a lot of wine but not much of a wine enthusiast along with a selection of cigars. The people are always friendly and ready to help. Especially when I found a particular beer I cant find anywhere else and offered to order more if I gave them a heads up.
The facility is amazing with the beer, wine selections along with the cigar lounge. The only downside is the service in the lounge and quality of food. I was disappointed by both as we waited 45 minutes for a table. I will definitely try to visit again and hope to have a better experience.
Great place! If you are going for dinner, the food is good. Their flatbread pizzas are great and the service is excellent! They have the best beer selection and if you want to have a cigar they have a nice selection and you can sit on the patio and smoke your cigar, rain or shine. It is one of my favorite places to unwind.
RWB is one of the best places to find great beer, and also beer that is hard to find. The personnel here is very knowledgeable and friendly. I like to try different beer, and one of the best features of this place is that they allow you to break a 4-pack or 6-pack and buy one or two cans. This is by far the best thing Ive ever seen at a liquor store. Keep being awesome, RWB!!
I read some of the bad reviews and was wondering if we were all at the same place. My husband and I love this place. Especially on Sundays. It’s a quieter day there and we enjoy lazying around with a couple glasses of vino after shopping. I think the food is great. I’m partial to the sirloin and my husband loves the pizza. They have a huge selection of wine and beer obviously and I have no idea why someone would say they don’t have liquor because the bar is fully stocked...key word “bar”. But I’m saving the best for last and that’s Terry, the barmaid. She is wonderful and half the reason we go. We always have excellent service from her. On one Sunday, I watched her handle a full bar and wait tables because they were short staffed and we never waited for anything. She deserves a big fat raise if management is reading this because most people would of turned and left thinking they wouldn’t get good service. Me personally, would of had a meltdown but not Terry. We will be back for sure.
This is one of my favorite places! The retail side is like an alcohol palace with a HUGE selection of various wines, meads, beer, and ciders. The restaurant (Wine Down Lounge) is awesome with a great menu, and fabulous selection of drinks on tap, and on the refrigerator wall to choose from. Whats even better is they are almost always hosting some fun events with local breweries and musicians.They also offer a fabulous party room upstairs for special events such as weddings, bridal showers, and fancy masquerades (yes I attended the one last year and it was awesome!). I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates a great selection of beer, wine, mead, and even fine cigars!
Best local spot to go out for a casual drink without breaking the bank. I’ve never ordered wine here, but the wall of beer makes it a great place to try out local Ohio, domestic, or imported beers for just $3 a piece (or slightly more for specialty craft beers). The food is average and a little overpriced, but to me this is a place to go for drinks and apps rather than entrees. Our service has always been great. We’ve had Dominique a few times and she never rushes us, but will always check in to make sure we are taken care of. If you’re looking for a wide selection of drinks and a place to meet up with friends this is one of the better places in Mentor.
Stopped in for a quick dinner last night. I was very impressed with the manager.The server was extremely busy Joe (manager)noticed us sitting at the table and immediately came over to get our order. They were short staffed and did not have what I originally wanted. Joe wanted to make things right. He prepared the most fabulous chicken lettuce wraps. I hope they will add this to the menu. I cant say enough at how he went above and beyond to make sure our evening was perfect. We had such an enjoyable time. Drinks, appetizer, entree were perfect. Attention to customers Priceless.
I love Red Wine and Brew! I love beer and the selection is phenomenal! You have a very knowledgeable employee who helped me figure out how the beers are organized and he also helped me find a few of a specific kind of beer that I was interested in trying more of. Now Im telling all of my friends and family who drink beer to check it out. I only wish they could provide a list of beers they carry because there are so many, but I understand that they are always changing.
First experience was okay. Ordered my steak MR came back MW and they cooked me a new one and came back W and the manager gave me such a hard time telling me it was because it was dark outside. But I had to change my review when I came back because my ribeye, mac and potatoes were to die for!!
This is a very good wine and beer store with a large bar/dining area. The food is solid pub food. The listing says Fine Dining, which isnt accurate in my book but this labelling issue should not prevent going there for fun. There is a good tap selection but the unique thing is being able to buy from the huge selection in the cooler. There are literally hundreds of options. Service has been good. There is on site parking.
Been wanting to check this place out for over a year.Finally made it here. Very impressed. Very nice inside. Clean. Great service. Had Mediterranean flat bread. Was fantastic. Raeburn chardonnay was perfect. Reasonable prices. Great location. I will definitely go back. Highly recommended.
4.5 stars. Always helpful staff who know their products and can offer relevant recommendations. Having consistancy in staff surely helps here.Speaking strictly on the beer selection, easily best choices in Lake County. Large array of singles, and they have been willing to break up some six packs upon request. That is a huge plus.the only point keeping it being a 5 star rating is the rotation of selection. Would like to see more new choices.You cant go wrong here though.
My friends and I always go up to Red Wine and Brew for Drinks and to relax after a long week of work every Saturday. Charles will helps us with cigar selection or even a great bottle of wine to take home to my wife. He is the man! Liz always always always helps us find a great cigar and beer to pair for the patio outside. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, if you ask they will help and trust me they know their stuff! See you Saturday!
Selection is outstanding, but too bad the service is so bad that it seems impossible to buy anything. Servers seem to be focused on one or two tables each, and new arrivals are just ignored. We asked if there was wait staff in the smoking lounge, and we were told, yes someone will be with you soon.. Some guy did come around, but he just changed the channel on the TV and walked out. Very very poor service.
Went for my brothers wedding here. Staff was very nice. The pizza was cold and horrible should of been replaced but instead staff said it was bridal parties fault it was cold because they were 15 mins behind with walking down the aisle!!??!! The pizza was mostly spicy sauce and no cheese or toppings everyone had to go out to eat after the wedding and the kids were unable to eat the pizza it was so spicy! The bill was overcharged! The salad was even horrible! To top it all off my boyfriends glass of honey jack had not 1 but 5 fruit flies floating in it disgusting..!
We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner in the Loft at Red, Wine, and Brew, in Mentor, OH. All our guests had a fabulous time. The food and drink were delicious; praised by everyone. The Catering Manager, Eilee Parcell was so great and easy to work with on this event and she accommodated all our needs and requests.We highly recommend the RWB as a venue for hosting your group event. All CDC guidelines were followed and everyone felt safe.
Good selection of wine, beer and cigars to be had in the retail area of the store. We had brunch in the lounge for mothers day, and while the food was good and well prepared, it was all cold. I mean, like room temp or below, even when stored in sterno heated vessels. I commented at the time that the food would have been really good a half hour ago.
Drinks are plenty. Entertainment is always very good. However, the bar staff do not acknowledge you until you wave them-down to cash out. Got a menu from server in another room. This is third time this has happened. Also, you serve yourself from cooler and they collect the caps for your tab. Very convenient.
Really cool bar and restaurant. The walk up fridges and being able to pick your own single bottles is great! The outdoor patio, where you can also smoke cigars, is awesome. It was in the teens outside, but the heaters were so warm, i was able to take off my jacket and be comfortable.
Red wine and brew my dining experience was great, but your cigar stock are awful...Yes, you might have a variation of premium sticks...But you lack in commodity...So now I take my business elsewhere who acquires and obtains a plethora of cigars...Jovann carries a quality product and stock.
Great beer selection. Dont bother with the food. The service wasnt good enough to be terrible. The food was worse than the service. 20+ minutes for 6 ravioli? The tomato they sliced for the caprese wont be ripe for another 2 weeks, and they knew that; they served it anyway.Drinks, sure. Food, never again.
For the third time they have sold out of my preferred cigar, JFR. I have had critical conversations with staff and management, and I have concluded they take my business for granted. Should I shop elsewhere? I can, and maybe I should. I am sad! I want to support businesses in my community, but it seem as if they are out of touch or my business is not important to them. What would you do?
Short staffed at 2:00 on a Sunday. Pretzels came out cold and barely any salt. Mushroom burger,overcooked. More cheese than mushrooms. Food Sat in the window while we waited. Server was not very attentive. Seemed like she was working the bar and the floor. Perhaps over staff and phase out . A good time to train the hostess to help out the only server . Instead of holding up the podium. I choose to leave this comment about my experience here. Observing no bartender either. The server has enough to deal with. Other than hearing my complaint. So Ill give it one more time. But not a good first impression. So I hope you can learn from this issue. Thank you . Sean Larsen.
Food was great atmosphere was nice service was also good! My only complaint would be the kitchen ran out of a item and assumed it was ok to substitute with out asking us. You should always ask your customer first and allow them to decide. But I would definitely go back. Really nice place
My best friend walked in to get cigarettes and we went to walk out the door and noticed her cigarettes were previously opened. Literally were in the door way when she noticed so we turned around right in the door way and told them. The lady gave a huge attitude and said how they weren’t open when she gave them to us. We were in the doorway she didn’t even have time to think about opening them. Horrible customer service!
I’ve worked in the restaurant business almost my entire life. Service is always great here. I came in on Monday and have to say I was disgusted to witness a server yelling and swearing at a cook. That should never happen, as a customer to have to see such nonsense. Feel really bad for your kitchen.
We had an awful experience Tonite. Always loved this place but will never go back. Ordered a signature cocktail for $10 that I just didnt like. Ordered another drink and asked of of could take it off the tab. Instead of a simple no or Ill get the manager I was told how stupid I was for even asking to get it removed. Then when she gave me my tab I got a soooorrrryyyy. She was nasty the entire time and made us feel like we were bugging her when we came in (it was around 9:45 I could understand if it was super late). So they got their $10 from me but lost the hundred or more I would have spent there this summer.
I have never been so disappointed. The decor and semi pricy cost of the food made me think that I was going to get a good quality meal or at least an edible meal. My pulled pork sandwich was on a blackened burned bun with one tablespoon of dried meat. My fiancés pasta tasted like a microwaveable dinner, not exaggerating, lean cuisine pasta. The beer selection was great and if you are going for just drinks this would be your place. However if you are looking for a good meal this is not the place... Steak and Shake serves better food, which is saying a lot.
Great selection of beer (and wine), staff was very nice. My first place I look when searching for different types of beer. I think they have wine there but I wouldnt know (jk they have wine but I cant tell you much about it other than there is many different kinds and bottles).

2022-06-11So much wine and beer to choose from! The store is immaculate. Tons of cigars too! And the restaurant was awesome. We really enjoyed our pretzel. The chili cream cheese it’s served with was so good. We split a burger and fries. Probably the best truffles fries we’ve had!

2022-02-03One stop shopping for a quiet evening or a party. The wine and beer selection is extensive. Beer is available by pack or singles. My husband likes it because he can purchase single, non-alcoholic beer singles, which is hard to find. It has an attached restaurant and a nice cigar selection. The staff are very friendly and informative. The foot traffic has started to pick up and it was quite lively when I was there recently. When we travel to Mentor, it is a must stop along the way.

2022-06-03Huge variety of wines and beer. Good looking spot. Ive tried the smokehouse burger twice and was pretty dry both times. Ill try something else next. Fries are good, staff is fun. A tad on the pricey side if youre looking for bar food but to be fair their menu is higher class than bar food. I like that you can go to the cooler and pick your own wine or beer and take it to the bar. Adds a level of choice you dont get anywhere else.

2021-09-26I’ve always liked shopping for cigars and wine at this place. I went to outside patio for the first time and I enjoyed it. The service was slow but understandable because the workers were slammed but still gave us our orders and checked on us. We ordered like 30 minutes before dining was closing. We felt bad about that but we still wish we got more than we ordered.

2022-05-31I love this place - either to pick up some great bottle of wine or a unique six pack. Also love stopping up with friends for a few drinks and appetizers and I am here for work meetings as well. Good atmosphere with live music on the weekends usually. Great outdoor space. Extensive cigar selection as well.

2020-06-08I havent been to a wine/ beer store this expansive in a long time. The selection seems endless and unique and the store itself is really attractive. Pretty decent selection of cigars as well and a really nice patio to enjoy all of your purchases. Thanks for the great customer service Karley.

2022-06-14This place is very nice! This is my first time here and I ordered the calamari and my sister ordered the flatbread pizza, we would say its not worth the price but was alright. I did happen to find my new favorite Moscato here so I will be ordering that to go often !

2022-07-06My favorite spot to hot! Food is good. Drinks are great! A superb selection of libations. After dinner they have a heated cigar patio. Love this place.
