Best Breweries in Short North - Arena District

Wonderful experience with our friends! Food and drinks were delicious. Second time visiting and we will be making the is a tradition spot to kick out the holiday season. Highly recommend visiting!

Food was good, service was good. Experience was what I expected. I'll definitely be back.

The fish in the fish and chips was excellent. The server was also very good but the time for food to drink to get to table was very slow.

We had a group of eight I had booked patio, but it was freezing out and they did accommodate us to be inside. The staff is amazing and we had a great time. 

Solid place to get food and beer, cocktails, wine, etc. We all enjoyed our food quite a bit. The eggplant, avocado/pineapple dip, and kale salad were good. My guests reported good burgers and fries. And my other guests enjoyed their salmon salad. The charcuterie board was disappointing, especially for the price. It was very underwhelming, and presentation was fair at best. All the beers we tried were actually pretty good. None of us ordered a cocktail. Ambiance is nice. Didn't love that we were forced (all of us under 5 ft 3 - to sit on a high top with our feet dangling) - had made a reso and when I inquired about the table at check-in was told it would be over an hour for a regular table. I wish I would have known and requested this up front. Overall, however, I do recommend Forbidden Root - and would return again.
