Lock 15 Brewing

It seems to be synonymous, the industrial ambiance and craft beers, the great food and wait-staff ... it all adds up to be an awesome place to gather with friends and family. ....... My wife and I really enjoyed our lunch date here today. Mike, of the wait staff, was cordial and did a great job tending our table. The food and brew was fantastic. My Beef Brisket Sandwich and my wife's Steak Salad with Gorgonzola Cheese Dressing was pretty amazing. Great taste and plenty of it. The Towpath Porter and 1913 Pilsner were good choice pairings. Chef John has a great menu selection and you can tell by the meal descriptions, his own creativity is spot on ...... nothing boring for sure. Next time we'll bring others. It was an amazing experience. We wish everyone affiliated with Lock 15 much success. ...... We'll see them again soon.

I enjoyed my experience here. Place was easy to find and had adequate parking for the amount of people that were there. However, if they were packed I could see parking being an issue. The restaurant itself is pretty cool. It has great space, great layout and great decor. They also have a pretty cool outdoor eating area that looked nice, but we opted to inside for the AC. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was good, was nice and crispy on the outside but still pretty moist inside. The fries were good, but I could have done without the seasoning. But then again, I don't like fries with much salt, so others will probably like more. My gf got the same thing, and she enjoyed hers too. My buddy got the wings. He said they were just ok, but didn't think they were worth the price. My only real issue was the menu, both the physical menu you look at to order and then the selections of food and beverages they offer. The physical menu didn't have any prices listed on their beer menu, which was weird. Then on the food menu, most had prices, but some didn't. Like it was a flaw when printing the menus. For example, the fish and chips I ordered was the only entree without a price listed. It ended up being one of the cheaper items, so I was actually a little relieved when I asked our waitress. The menu items they offer don't really speak to me, but that's just me and my personal opinion. I actually had fish yesterday, but the fish and chips was really the only thing that looked appealing in the entree section...at least for the price. The prices on the menu are pretty steep for an average Joe like me. But I haven't had anything else there so I can't say if the price is justified. I'm ok with paying more if the food is on point. But saying all that, I still enjoyed this place and would return. The food and beer I had were all good and it seems like a fun place to go with a group of friends.

Tried a new place in Akron. @lock15brewing love the reclamation of old buildings. Located at the Former Swinehart Tire Factory on the corner of North St. and Howard St. Luckily I made reservations as the line was out the door at 5:30 on Saturday. We had the Burrata appetizer with toast points. Also Fish and chips - huge portion. I had the Lobster roll. Nice size portion of claw meat. Finished with a creme brûlée. I was there with friends but this place would be a great date night also.

We love this place. They have the best fish and chips we've ever had. My husband and I come to get it a few times a month. The last time we went though he tried a new menu item, The Dip, and said it was the best french dip he's ever had. The atmosphere and staff are also great. It has an old warehouse kind of feel inside and a cute covered patio for outside dining. We highly recommend checking it out!
