The Oscar Station

We visited the Oscar Station for the annual Jungle Jim's International Craft Beer Festival. The space is really cool and has plenty of room, indoors and outdoors to entertain people. There is a bar area with a very cool dry-cleaner style conveyor belt where they have different bottles on display. There's comfortable seating at the bar as well as tables off to the side. There are also bathrooms in this area of the event space that were clean and had plenty of stalls. This area can be separated from the next room, which is bigger and seems like it can be customized for different events. For this event there were a bunch of eight foot tables for the breweries. There are also a bunch of garage door style windows that can be opened to create an indoor/outdoor kind of feel to the space. Outside there is a large area where there was a stage with live music and food trucks were able to pull in as vendors.Overall the event space lent perfectly to the Craft Beer Festival and could be easily adapted for other events. It also can accommodate a variety of group sizes. We had a great time at the venue and will definitely attend future events here and if I was from the area it would be a great venue to consider hosting events as well.

In for the International Wine Festival . Busy event with wines from California.. mid west... fingers crossed lakes... Spain...Italy...France... South Africa....Australia... tastings at both the station and the event center. Yes.. the old Kings Island monorail was moving people between both locations.

We swung by The Oscar Station during their grand opening party. We thought we got there early, but there were 100's of people who had already beat us there. We weren't sure what to expect, but the entire facility (both indoor and "outdoor") were bustling with activity.In the indoor section, the bourbon bar is something to behold. Several large tables easily accommodate groups or events.The outdoor section accommodates cigar smoking, even though it wasn't really outdoor, haha. The outdoor portion appears as if it were part of the monorail station.A grand opening isn't the best way to catch the full flavor of a new bar, so we hope to return on a normal Wednesday/Thursday evening (open to the public from 4-10pm).

I've been inside for a vaccination. The building looks great. I recently tried to visit on a Wednesday evening after seeing the Wed/Thurs hours on the facebook page. Unfortunately, the building was vacant and had a sign saying "closed for a private event." We are disappointed that the closure wasn't posted on social media. We will have to come back for a second try.
