Braxton Brewing - Cincinnati

We stopped by Braxton as part of a makeshift Cincinnati brewery tour. The inside has an interesting layout. Bar on one side, and a venue space on the other. I'm not sure if they have a kitchen or if it just wasn't open when we went. The website touts food from Taco Fuerte, which sounds like a food truck.The beer was alright. The service was rather poor considering it was by no means crowded, and the vibes left something to be desired. This location also has very limited hours -- only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'd be interested to see how the Braxton in Covington compares.

Guy behind the bar let us bring in our coneys to eat which was very nice. The drinks were very good, especially the grapefruit shandy. The merch they sell on site is pretty dope. Inside is a typical brewery type feel, modern and clean. Give this place a try.

Solid beers and the tater tot trio was good but the bartender was completely bush league. He was clueless how to manage a bar and frankly rude to me and several other patrons. I like the beers but if I'm treated this poorly again I won't be back.

My wife said it best as we were leaving - "now that we've used that gift card, we never have to come back to a Braxton!"I've been here multiple times. The last was over a year ago when they hosted a so-called F1 watch party. That experience was terrible; we couldn't hear the commentary and there was no food because the cook showed up late. I contacted Braxton HQ after that to express my frustrations and was promised a $50 gift card via email from Richard Kohl, the "Director of Taprooms" at the time. It never arrived.Sadly, a family member purchased us another "Best of Brews" gift card, so we decided to give this Braxton location another chance since we knew they would have the F1 race on, and there was also a Bengals game on at the same time - what a great opportunity for us to go to Braxton, drink a few drinks and watch all the sports! What a mistake. Nothing has changed since the last time I was here. We grabbed two seats at the bar and was attended to by a pleasant female behind the bar. I wish I would have caught her name, because she was the only one here with a lick of customer service. Chris, the other guy behind the bar (let me be clear with who this is: today, he was wearing a Black Keys shirt, backwards hat, glasses, and has long hair), has no business in the service industry. When we attempted to cash out our tab with the gift card, we were told they couldn't accept it because they "haven't gotten that update from corporate." Well, Chris, that's bull because we used the same type of gift card here last year. The other bartender at least had enough common sense to say "nope, we'll accept it" and just knocked the amount of the gift card off my check. As far as a sports viewing experience goes, it's bad. You still can't hear the commentary. The F1 race started at 4pm and I asked if they could turn on the commentary and was told no, because the Bengals game was starting at 4:25 and the audio would be on for that. Ok, you could have made the abundant number of F1 fans there to watch the race happy and turned the audio on for at least 20 minutes but whatever. When they did finally turn the Bengals game audio on, we still couldn't hear it. My wife and I streamed the audio off of our phones and listened to it through headphones...In summary: Beer? FineSports watching? AverageSports listening to accompany your viewing? Nonexistent Customer service? I don't think Braxton knows what this is.

Braxton is an awesome brewery in the heart of the OTR in Cincinnati. I make it a habit of always hanging out there whenever I'm in Cincy. The service is always great and the brews are always fantastic! I'm not much of a fan of their flavored beers but I love their IPA's and the Garage beer is a great lager. Additionally, Braxton has awesome bar food! Everything is great! The wings, pretzel bites, you really can't go wrong. Great hangout to watch sports, great service and the bar menu has fantastic food! I definitely recommend!

We had our team Christmas there very niceWe were on patio/tent area so it was definitely serve your self but it was okI asked for holiday special cocktails it wasn't posted And glad it did the mulled cider was great

I came here to kick off St Patricks Day and March Madness. Upon arrival my friends and I were instantly greeted by a friendly bartender. We were able to open a tab and grab a green garage beer quickly. We were even offered some free St Patricks Day swag! While this isnt the typical go to for Irish celebration they have great beers and Multiple large TVs to catch all the games on at once as this year the first day of the tournament fell on St Pattys. This is a great place to post up for a while. It was a gorgeous day outside and they had many of the garage doors open to let the fresh air in! There are many different areas to sit at including a large bar, high tops and large tables for groups. There is the added benefit of Pendalo wings next door to grab some food. You can place your order at the bar and have it added to your tab. They simply take your cell phone number and text you when its ready to come grab at the pickup counter in Pendalo. Our group ordered various things to share that were tasty! Highly recommend checking this place out for a chill hang out.

Glad there is a Braxton option north of the river.They offer a spacious venue that is good for large groups. They also have lots of TV's which lets them operate a bit like a sports bar, which is something that is in short supply in the OTR-Pendleton area. There is also a food venue CHX, attached to the south end of the building.Though the space is ample, it can be a bit awkward. I'm not always sure where exactly I should order, but they seem to operate like most traditional bars, wherever you can grab some counter space is a fine spot for ordering.There is street parking nearby, though the street immediately east has been converted to pedestrian only.

This place is really fun for a watch party- soccer, football..... whatever you seek in sports. Braxton beers are some of the best in Cincinnati. This is the Pendleton/OTR location . Grab a cocktail or a few beers and catch a game .

Cool views & great brews on the rooftop of Braxton Brewing. This is a number one go to when we visit Cincy!
