MadTree Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (658) • $$

"IT'S LONG BUT READ IT!!!!!Long time coming...been a regular at 1.0 (original brewery) then regulars at 2.0 (existing brewery) had the first beers served. Seen quite a few changes over the years. (The brewery scene is not what it was). Seen staff come n go. We went through a lean time where the food just wasn't worth going as often. BUT NOW the food is awesome n we're back w a vengeance!!! Have a great time w the bartenders as we always have. For us it's nice to be back home!!!Thanks Kenny n Brady for fixing things! Do yourself a favor and visit! There's something for everyone! CHEERS!

The Tap

"The Tap is conveniently located downtown, making it a great spot to visit. They offer good food options and an impressive variety of drinks. A solid choice for a meal or a night out!"

Lock 27 Brewing Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (327) • $$

"Tried Lock 27 tonight. YUM I coerced R to try the fried cauliflower...and he liked it! He wanted more I had the Beet Salad with the most amazing garlicky Parmesan dressing I've ever had in my life. We definitely recommend!"

Little Miami Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (296) • $$

"I really like coming here when I'm on a kayaking trip! It's located right on the river and super close to the bike path, so it's very accessible, but keep in mind if you're kayaking that the hill up to the brewery could be challenging for some. Also, it's quite busy sometimes, but rightfully so! They have fantastic pizza, and the sandwiches are really great too. They have a variety of beers too, and the staff are always happy to help you decide. I like how this place has seating all over. There is ample seating inside, outside at the picnic tables, in lounge chairs overlooking the river or on the roof. I'll definitely be returning in the future."

Hairless Hare Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (178) • $$

"Solid brewery has a family and causal vibe. Had a good selection of beers to offer. They had their good ones and not so good. But that is open to debate based on taste we did a flight of all 8 beers available. The food was spot on for us, we had 3 different pizza's (salmon, meat lovers and bbq), smoked wings and chips and salsa. Was a nice stop on an overnight trip for us! Lastly, the staff were nice, friendly and accommodating!"

Streetside Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (165) • $$

"Oh! Now the beer we had at Streetside Brewing was definitely an enjoyable one! If the one we had was any indication that the rest of their beer is that good then this brewery is a real gem! And if it happens to not be the case then just keep on getting the beer we had! Return of the Mac was the name of the beer Steve and I immensely enjoyed. It was a coffee blonde ale that was just oh, so good!Flavors in this lovely beer are coffee, vanilla and coconut. Very light and sweetness that is just right. The balance on this beer is simply wonderful! I do love my blonde ales and though some are better than others Return od the Mac simply soars!"

Cartridge Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.7 (217) • $$

"Love the vibe and the building of this brew pub but it is really hard to get past the bizarrely non-existent service even if the food was pretty good. Even though we were there at lunch time on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all, it took forever to even get our order taken much less drinks and then food also took even longer. It felt like a combo of being understaffed and putting a priority on the bar customers. The food was fine - normal brew pub fare but don't come here if you want a quick or even a normal time length meal."

Big Ash Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.1 (135) • $$

"The food is very good-love the cauliflower crust pizza. Great selection of beers and drinks. Great place to meet up with friends."

Loose Ends Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.9 (131) • $$

"I want to start by saying that our service was great. Our waitress was new and she did wonderful. If she didn't know she told us that much and went to ask. The restaurant itself is nice, open, and it was clean. I was here once when they first opened so I was a little disappointed with the menu. It wasn't as expansive as I remembered. There also were not a ton of allergy friendly options even though the menu makes a big deal about telling your waiter. We went on a Tuesday night, which is now a night they are running special Grilled Cheese menu. This is where the big issue is. We were not told until we were getting ready to order that they do not offer burgers on Tuesday night. Quite a lot of us in our group were wanting to order one. As someone with a dairy and gluten allergy a burger without a bun is usually my best food option. We were also told they didn't have the vegan burger, which was another problem because one person in our group is vegan. That is literally the ONLY vegan option on the menu because a $20 salad without chicken. In this day and again this is absurd. There should be more allergen friendly options on the menu especially if you are offering Grilled Cheese, which is 100% not allergy friendly. The manager did "Find" some vegan burgers so my friend and I were able to eat, but the entire thing was just crazy. I went back to look at their social media and there is no mention of not serving burgers on Grilled Cheese night anywhere that I could find. Highly suggest that they have that more in the forefront or have the hostess telling people as they are seated. The cranberry seltzer was really good. The vegan burger was pretty good and I appreciated that you could make out the different ingredients. I do wish they'd offer a gluten free bun. A burger is just not a burger without a bun. Fries were good as well."

Voodoo Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (91) • $$

"If you're in Cincinnati and hunting for a post-workout feast (bulking season or not), Voodoo is the move. My son and I stumbled in looking for gains-friendly grub, and boy, did we hit the jackpot. We started with the Three Little Pigs pizza, featuring the spiciest, most flavorful sauce that had us both questioning if it was the secret to PRs. That pizza was so good, it deserved its own workout playlist.For the main course, my son demolished The Hangover in 7 bites flat--a record even for post-leg day. The smash burger paired with homemade chips? Chef's kiss. Meanwhile, I took on the patty melt, which was seasoned so perfectly it felt like a symphony was playing on my taste buds.Shoutout to the attentive staff who tried (valiantly) to lure me into trying their brews. I had to pass because it was only 1 PM, but their soda pop was refreshingly on point. Voodoo's a vibe--10/10, y'all. Let me know how the brews are!"

Bean & Brew

★★★★☆ 4 (65)

"Updating this review after giving it a second chance. Everything we ordered for dinner was enjoyed by each person. We will definitely go back. I still don't recommend anyone paying for their grilled cheese because it is just not gourmet enough for what they charge And somehow their espresso is either watery or they don't put enough in their lattes. It doesn't stop me from buying the lattes because their flavors are Really nice, just not enough coffee. People there are super nice though!"

O'Neill's

★★★★☆ 3.5 (59) • $

"My sis has been raving about the lemon pepper wings and she knows they are my favorite and we've not had good ones in awhile. Ordered to go & waited outside where the owners have set up tvs, seating, and heaters. Staff were nice and greeted us. They seemed to really appreciate our business. No long wait. Wings were delicious and extremely flavorful! Ordered lemon pepper and mild wings.. Will definitely be back."

13 Below Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (37) • $

"I really enjoyed our visit to 13 Below over the holiday season. We were hitting a few Breweries on a Saturday afternoon. Starting from the Eastside, we headed to 13 Below (named that because it's 13 miles 'below' Cincinnati on the river - did not know that!) first. We arrived not long after they opened, so the place was largely empty. We grabbed a couple stools at the bar and the staff helped us choose a "flight-plus" - flights are 4, we wanted to try 6, they had no problem with that. The beers were all good - none disappointed. The staff was super friendly and happy to talk about beer, as most craft brewery employees are. I stopped over by the food window to check out the menu for the permanent BBQ food truck that serves there. I was hoping to check out their chicken wings. Unfortunately this was currently a football-Sunday only option, though she did say they were thinking about adding it full time and also that if I needed a catering order, they were happy to do that any time. Good to know, if only I lived a little closer! All around, this is a great place. As someone else noted, the beers here are about a buck cheaper than most of the craft breweries in town. I like to see when a local business knows their customer base and serves up what they want. Well done, 13 Below!"

Braxton Barrel House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (19) • $$

"Had a much needed night out with my daughter and husband. We went and had some tacos from the taco truck which were pretty amazing. The elote was my favorite. The beer was really good. We sampled quite a few and settled on one finally. Sat outside by the wood burning fireplace. All I all a good night."

Hofbrauhaus Newport

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"The Hofbräuhaus is such a unique and cool place to visit. The atmosphere is sheer amazing! If you want to have a good time, try a Mass (1Liter) of beer, enjoy authentic German cuisine, dance to polka music then this is the place to be! We have been there several times and always! had a good time. The service is usually great as well and will greet you in a German style dirndle dress."
