March First brewing - Cincinnati

Location and atmosphere are great. There were TV's with sports on just about everywhere you looked. My son had a blast running up the score on me at the Foosball table and the food coming out of the kitchen looked good.But for a brewing company they get a just OK. They specialize in "drinkable" craft beer and that's exactly what you'll get. Nothing spectacular, just average old school craft beer. I had a FigLeaf Iso-Trope that was a throw back to the old East Coast IPA style that was a standard tap many years ago in the craft scene.My buddy had a couple of beers that I don't recall and agreed the beer is basic and OK. I'll give them four stars overall because the pizza looked great and you can't beat the location, but I couldn't help but feel like the ghosts of Rock Bottom were still in their beer recipes. A banner I noticed still gave homage to the Rock Bottom name. I'm not familiar with March First, but guys you need higher standards than Rock Bottom!! There's a reason they left and you guys occupy the space.Having said all of that it's a family friendly spot with Graeter's Ice Cream a stone's throw away!

I'm just a person in town for a conference, so take this review with a grain of salt. First of all, just a few doors down is Chipotle, which I have in California, so why spend my money there when I can experience something different?So, after finishing fourth place in the trivia game held in Fountain Square, I was looking for a quick and small dinner in the area. Right there was a bar that looked like it had a kitchen, so I wandered inside, past a few patrons from my conference, and sat at the bar.The bartender was a confident and professional redhead whose name I didn't ask for (often I do). (She's in one of my pics.) She talked me into getting a simple cheese bread to go with my Cherry Chocolate Stout (brewed in Cincinnati by Woodburn Brewing Company). Cheese bread with marinara was good. The beer was delicious, sweet and bitter at the same time (8.5 / 10). The service was excellent. The place is spacious and great for groups. I was on foot from my hotel, so I can't help you with the parking. Tourists: Check out Fountain Square and whatever live music or events may be happening there during the day. Then go enjoy a brew at March First.

March First Brewing Cincinnati located at Fountain Square. The food was good. They had awesome pretzel bites and beer cheese!It was a different service model than I was familiar with. No real employee interactions. Order food and drinks and pay on app (when you are ready). The food and drinks are dropped off to you. You can eat at the bar if you want an individual service person.Cool ambiance with table, bar, high top, and outdoor dining area. We had the pretzels and a salad. Nothing too exciting but hit the spot. We had to ask for water when they dropped off the food as there was no option on the online ordering (only beer & fountain drinks). No issues and a decent choice to eat in the area.Check out the menu at https://www.marchfirstbrewing.com/cincinnati-food

3 stars.We had hoped to watch the Final Four game here, but they couldn't turn the sound on. So, we watched with random music playing throughout the restaurant. Not ideal.Ordering from the table is very convenient, except when the order doesn't come out right and you have to hunt down the one server. She was very accommodating, though.Don't order the nachos. Just don't. The cheese is cold and the dish just doesn't hit like a nacho should. I think they should remove them from the menu.The kids meals are a great value!! Chicken tenders are fantastic.Wings were good. Fries were decent...they have some kind of herb on them. I'm not a beer drinker, but I enjoyed sampling to see if I found one I loved. I didn't, but the experience was fun.I had the house made honey whiskey and enjoyed it very much.

Attended a happy hour with my team for drinks and appetizers. The place is HUGE clean and well appointed.I visited on a Monday night and the city was empty - the bar as well. Despite being a slow night, I still enjoyed the vibe and can see where this would be a good energy place.The pretzel bites and beer cheese as well as the roasted cauliflower with dipping sauce. Drinks were yummy and my team sample a number beers, hard seltzer, vodka cranberry, and many spiced rum and cokes... lots of compliments and all empty glasses!I think the prices and quality was great. More patrons would have helped the vibe, however I'll still return for another visit.

I had lunch here on a Monday. I enjoyed that they sell pizza by the slice which is rare these days downtown. I had a slice of pepperoni hot honey and a slice of prosciutto tomato. Both were good. The prosciutto tomato was a little on the sweet side versus what I was expecting but I still enjoyed it. I did not sample any beers but have enjoyed them at their other location. The iced tea tasted like it was from a tap vs fresh brewed. Our server was very sweet and clearly still learning. The service was pretty fast. She just told us how much we owed instead of a detailed check. Hopefully I can return for happy hour sometime.

Love that we have another spot at Fountain Square! Beautiful, big space that opens right up to the square so you can sit inside, outside, out right just inside the large open doors if you want the best of both worlds. The Peach Rings hard seltzer was fun and tasty and my boyfriend liked his Orange Cream ale. We thought the mozzarella stuffed meatballs were good, the pretzels and beer cheese was okay, and the fries were great!They have two sections of the restaurant inside. On one side, you get full table service. On the other, where we sat, you order and pay through your phone, but they still bring you everything. Over all, we had a great time and will be back! They also had pizza and burgers on their menu that we're interested in trying alongside more beer and seltzers.

Very nice staff. Pizza a bit doughy for NYer's, but flavorful. Great selection draft beers, something for everyone. Nice atmosphere, open to outdoor space but climate controlled

Hey back again at the Fountain Square location enjoying their Solo coffee blonde ale by Woodburn brewing and their Blood orange ISO trope by Figleaf. Come on in and grab a beer and something to eat and.... Relax! You deserve a break.

Fantastic! The food is amazing and drinks superb. I had the burger, which was great. I really liked the Dejon-mayo it comes with. The fries were phenomenal, couldn't stop eating them. We also had the special, buffalo chicken on nachos. The pickled onions made it, it was great. And the raspberry sour was spot on. Couldn't have been any better. I didn't like ordering via the QR code. I like ordering with a waiter/waitress. I had to keep going inside to get water, napkins, ketchup, etc.
