Hofbräuhaus brewery coming to Cleveland I hope it's as nice as the one in Pittsburgh, and nicer than the one in South Beach.
An $8.4 million project proposed for downtown Cleveland's theater district could marry a Hofbräuhaus, a 400-year-old German institution, with the Hermit Club, a century-old private club dedicated to amateur performing arts.
Cincinnati Restaurant Group, Inc., which built the nation's first licensed Hofbräuhaus 10 years ago, plans to wrap a restaurant and entertainment venue around the Hermit Club, at the northern edge of PlayhouseSquare. Sketches show a 660-seat hall and a 1,000-seat beer garden facing Chester Avenue, off Dodge Court.
