Share Cheesebar

I love casual cheese bars like this especially when you just want a nice snack before dinner to start the night and catch up with friends. However, this wasn't one of my favorite cheese bars in town. The cheeses were good but nothing special and the food pairings on the cheese board didn't seem to go that well with what was given. We paid $20 for a 4 cheese board which came with a few marcona almonds, green olives, Sweety Drop peppers, and bread with a mustard spread and fig Jam. We aren't allowed to pick the cheeses but rather they pick for you. I felt for the hard cheeses we had, we needed better food pairings and I was expecting more spreadable cheeses for the bread. They do have a crumbly cheese that has mustard seeds in it which was unique and delicious. I wish they had made some cheeses in house that could taste more fresh and would be unique to that place.They were also understaffed for a Saturday evening as there was a long line to place your order and the cheese board took really long to finally come out. We didn't have anyone check back in with us anytime after our board came out to see if we needed anything more like water, bread, had questions, etc... it could have been just that night, but we just didn't get the same attention we do in some other places like this.I've gone to Urban Stead and felt the quality of the cheeses were better and their boards are cheaper for what you get in terms of amount of cheese. We had enough from the one board with 5 cheeses to fill us up. They also interacted a ton more while we were there and the cheeses are so fresh since they make them all in-house. I'm glad I tried this place out as I've always passed by and wanted to try it out. It's located in Pleasant Ridge which is central for the Cincinnati area and it is around the corner from Nine Giants brewing. We read about some of the specials they have during the week so I'm willing to try it again when it might not be as busy.

This has been on our bucket list for awhile. Finally got to visit this hidden gem. Located in Pleasant Ridge across the street from Everybody's Records. Walked in and loved the laid back feel. Simple decor and open. Easy to order! We looked over the menu and decided to get the 4 cheese and 4 meats for $35.00. Picked a bottle of red for $23.00 (Portuguese). We felt that it was versatile and would go with any cheese. You are able to get it by the glass or if you don't feel like wine, they do sell craft beers in the fridge. You can pick your cheese if you like. There were two that caught our eye that we had to request the four alarm cheddar cheese (jalapeño, chipotle, habanero and ghost peppers) and Dragon's breath but it's soft blue cheese with spices and hints of mustard. They do not make the cheese in house. Their cheese are imported from all over the world. Very great selection in my opinion. With your cheese tray, you do get bread, olives and nuts and preserves. When we receive our tray, we were truly impressed! Cheese, bread, meats were fresh and presentable. They went well with our wine. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Besides our great experience, they do offer specials. Happy hour on Friday's, Wednesday's are flight and bites, Thursday's are sandwich nights. They also cater!Since we are only a couple miles from this awesome place, I know we will visiting again very soon!Thanks so much! Everything was perfect!

We went on Wednesday night for the fondue special and 1/2 priced wine. It's well worth it.The cheese and meat plates are really top notch. We enjoyed everything!The people there are also great. They answered questions and allowed tastes and couldn't have been more helpful and polite.

Pleasant Ridge is an excellent, laid back destination for good times, and Share Cheesebar fits in with this description. Located just off of Montgomery on Ridge Road, it's certainly right at home in this great area, while bringing its own unique flare and flavor. Fine wine, delicious cheese, tasty charcuterie, good craft beer, and much more.My lady and I had been wanting to check this spot out for a while and we were definitely glad when we did. The place itself is very cozy and relaxed in its atmosphere. Grab a spot anywhere you like. You place your order at the counter and they'll bring it right to you once its ready. I'd recommend checking out their array of fine cheeses from all around the world. The staff are always happy to give samples, or if you're ordering a cheese and charcuterie plate, you can ask for certain cheeses to be added to it. Try the four alarm if you like it spicy! For our first trip here, we went with the four cheese and four meat plate (they offer many different size plates to enjoy) along with a bottle of Portuguese red blend wine. When the plate came out, everything looked so fantastic, and tasted even better. Everything about the whole experience almost instantly made it one of our favorite wine and cheese spots.Share Cheesebar is absolutely fits in with Pleasant Ridge and adds its own brand of goodness to the area. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're around.

Charcuterie anyone?This place has been open for about two years and puts together lovely cheese boards with a view options available for only cheese or cheese and meat boards that come with olives, fig spread, spicy mustard, little peppers and pickles.While you can choose the cheeses you want, we asked that they surprise us and choose for us. My favorite was the cheese with a rind covered in Herbs de Provence. The board is also accompanied by a basket of sliced baguette bread. It wasn't toasted which is my preference vs coldish bread.The board with three cheeses and meats was great for two hungry people. The chairs are metal and while the decor is pleasant, the place lacked that warm, cozy feeling that makes you want to come back over and over. What I really appreciated however was one of the staff offering us a platter that had been ordered and not picked up. Rather than let it go to waste, they offered it to the remaining customers free of charge! Happy Valentine's Day, indeed. That was a kind gesture and made a very good impression.Overall, it's a nice spot for a casual and delicious bite to eat.

If I were still in the market for dating, this would be my ideal first date spot! It is well lit, in a decently busy neighborhood, small, and has phenomenal meats, cheeses, beer, and wine. Those all come with the perk of knowledgeable and friendly staff.I'm not a fan of spicy, so I have even made simple requests when I order a board, and they always follow through. There isn't a designated parking lot or street parking available right out front, but there is a small street a couple doors down that has free parking. There is also a church (St. Peter's UCC) across the street on Ridge that has parking available.

I've wanted to stop here for awhile as cheese is just about my favorite food, right up there with chocolate. Share's Wednesday fondue night was the perfect reason for a visit.For $24, two can dine on the carnivore fondue platter; $20 for the vegetarian. They include bread, apples, broccoli, potatoes, (and sausage in the carnivore platter). Bottles of wine were also half off. What a deal! The pots of cheese, a mix of Swiss, Gruyere and Emmental, were more than enough for the dippers. The cheese had a bit more wine mixed in than I cared for, but other than that, everything was delicious and filling.The weekly fondue nights are suspended until fall, unfortunately. The restaurant offers cheese, hummus and charcuterie plates and other assorted items, from crackers to olives.

Share is my favorite cheesebar in Cincinnati, hands down! The great selection of cheese combined with amazing service is what keeps me going back every time. You can choose from different board options that come with a chef curated selection. If you don't like a certain cheese then let them know so they don't include it. I usually always get the 8 piece combo. It comes with 4 meats, 4 cheeses, and the standard jams, olives and pickled vegetables. The one great thing about having a chef curate your board is to get a variety and try new things. I have never had the same thing and I have also found cheeses that I have never tried and now like. Share also has other items available like their amazing whipped feta crostini and pimento cheese and pretzels. They even have a dessert option if you are craving something sweet. The one thing I wish they did have is a broader wine selection or a rotating wine selection if they were trying to keep a smaller quantity on hand. Other then that, I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Bonus tip: make sure to follow them on social media or look on their website. They usually have weekly specials and on Thursday they even have sandwich night.

I'm a born and raise cheesehead so my love of cheese runs deep. So, needless to say I was ecstatic when I saw Share Cheesebar was opening right up the road. I jumped at the opportunity for a girls night and grabbed two of my fellow cheese lovers. The owner, Emily, was super welcoming and helpful. I thought I was going to be overwhelmed by all the cheese options, but turns out, their staff of cheese experts select the different varieties to make up your charcuterie board selection. Between the three of us, we split one meat/cheese board, one cheese board and a burrata - which was plenty. They also sell wine which are very affordable and can be purchased by the bottle or by the glass. The charcuterie boards were beautifully assembled and came with a side of bread, nuts and olives (duh). For just $20, I was completely satisfied and am fully intending on coming back as soon as possible.

This place is just delightful! I will say we did takeout, but the patrons in the restaurant seemed to be having a good experience. It's the perfect size with enough tables to make waiting a limited issue and the counter service was really friendly. I got the 5 cheese tray and it comes with lots of great accompaniments. The cheese was fresh and packed nicely and the baguette bread tasted freshly baked. Absolutely will return to this place!
