Beerhead ramps up craft brew competition with 350 choices in Westerville - Akron Beacon Journal

Beerhead Bar and Eatery in Westerville offers 350 beers, 50 of which are in constant rotation on tap. The restaurant has a spacious interior, with large-screen TVs positioned behind the bar and garage doors separating the patio from the dining room.

Even the most demanding craft brew enthusiast would have to admit that Beerhead Bar & Eatery covers an impressive amount of territory.

Part of the emerging Hamilton Quarter mixed-use development in Westerville, Beerhead offers 365 beers, 50 rotating taps, wine, spirits and specialty cocktails.

"The idea behind the concept and location is to be the neighborhood craft beer bar," general manager Jarod Klever said.

The franchise, at 6294 E. Dublin-Granville Road, is owned by Eric Engelke, Jim Maclellan and Aaron Rasmussen of Three 30 Ventures LLC, which also owns and operates locations in Avon and Concord in northeastern Ohio.

The Westerville location has a spacious interior, with large-screen TVs positioned behind the bar and garage doors separating the patio from the dining room. Even with social distancing because of the coronavirus, the interior seats 100, Klever said.

The place focuses on American craft beer, but the choices span the globe.

"I would definitely say we pay respect to Old World breweries in Germany and Belgium," Klever said. "We choose our beer by style. It’s not specific to any brewery, local or national."

One thing that separates Beerhead from some of its craft-brew competitors: a kitchen.

"It came about just by demand," Klever said.

The menu isn’t anything out of the ordinary: sandwiches and wraps, wings, quesadillas and salads are among the many choices.

Pizzas are made using house-tossed dough, with 10 signature choices plus build-your-own options.

Beerhead also offers an enormous "barbarian" pretzel, served with a dark beer mustard dip, New Belgium craft-beer cheese and a secret house "awesome sauce."

"It’s casual," Klever said of the menu. "It’s all food that goes well with beer."

In addition to beer, Beerhead offers wine and cocktails.

"It’s next level," Klever said of Beerhead. "You take several craft beer bars, add some good food, add a great patio and you have the best of all worlds."

Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 614-289-3226.

Chicken shack

Speaking of Hamilton Quarter, Chicken Salad Chick’s second central Ohio location opens Tuesday at 6304 E. Dublin-Granville Road in a building next to Beerhead.

The restaurant is known for its many styles of chicken salad, from savory to spicy.

Jen Crichfield is the local franchisee.

Out with the Old

A new kind of dining, reminiscent of the supper club days of yore, will emerge at the former Old Spot in Grandview Heights.

Tony Tanner and Matt Evans, who closed Old Spot about a month ago at 1099 W. First Ave., are opening Cleaver in its stead.

It will start out with two seatings per night, with a total of 20 people in the restaurant at each seating.

Executive chef Jay Kleven, formerly of Rockmill Tavern, will serve six- to eight-course meals made with whatever fresh, local ingredients he can find, Tanner said.

The menu will be meat-centered, with beef, chicken, lamb and other selections coming from Butcher & Grocery, owned by Tanner and Evans and located just a few storefronts away. Produce and cheese will come from Ohio farms.

The first dinner party is planned for Aug. 7 and 8. Dinner party evenings are slated for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights until the restaurant can fully open, Tanner said. Tickets will be sold through Eventbrite.

The ongoing threat of coronavirus has made it tough for all operators because they don’t know how many customers to expect day to day, Tanner said.

"We’re excited about this," he said. "Other people in the industry know how tough it is to get guests in the door. You can’t plan anything, so this will give us control of everything."
