TBK Tavern Menu

Elevated Tavern Food, Pizza, Burgers & Craft Beer in Mentor, Ohio

What Makes the TBK Tavern Menu Unique

TBK Tavern brings something different to Cleveland’s east side by combining The Brew Kettle’s 30-year craft beer legacy with a chef-driven tavern experience led by veteran Cleveland chef Mike Longo. It’s more than a sports bar and more energetic than a traditional restaurant, blending elevated comfort food, award-winning beer, handcrafted cocktails, entertainment, and a lively neighborhood atmosphere into one destination built for game days, dinners, and nights that last longer than planned.

Starters

Start your night the right way with a lineup built for sharing, stealing bites, and immediately rethinking your dinner order. From Rajah broth mussels and roasted oysters to slow-smoked wings, loaded nachos, whipped ricotta drizzled in hot honey, and impossibly craveable beef fat fries, TBK Tavern’s starters aren’t an afterthought, they’re part of the main event. Come hungry, bring friends, and prepare to argue over the last bite.
