Wandering Monsters Brewery

Very cute atmosphere. I feel like this is the perfect location for friends with children to get together! They have an area of duckpin that would keep the kids busy and lots of space to gather and talk. I think the artwork everywhere is just so cutesy. We ordered the fries as an app and they were delish! We will be revisiting

We popped into Wandering Monster during the Bengals bye week for some beers and bites. I started with a flight of beers that included: Sasquash (coffee pumpkin porter), Neon Squid (Austin IPA), Fogbringer 9 (NE IPA), and a stout... I liked all but one of the IPAs due to no fault of the brewer's. They use a newer hop variety I'm not fond of and have struggled to identify. As for food, we visited on a Sunday and ordered from the brunch menu. He got a brisket sandwich and said it was super solid and said all the beers were good and was not disappointed in anything. Eggs Benedict is my go to breakfast dish and enjoyed it, although I felt the $13 price tag was a little high considering it didn't come with any kind of side. I'm not sure what I expected from the space, but this wasn't it. Maybe I was expecting a bit more of a forest vibe instead of the run of the mill brewery feel? Maybe because I must have subconsciously created some kind of backstory around the monster in there logo? The merch was super cute, but the pricing wasn't visibly displayed anywhere that we could see. All in all a good visit that left us wishing the were a little closer to us.

This is a fun place if you have kids. The food here is good, nice selection - my husband enjoyed his beer and I enjoyed the food. I ordered the pulled pork nachos and wings - all good - no complaints. Service was really good and our food came out in a timely manner.The duck bowling is neat - I have never heard of it until I came here. It's a nice family place where both parents and children can enjoy themselves.Nice hidden gem

This place. This is my Cheers. I was so excited for them to open as it is super close to my house. Jason did an excellent job in his previous position so it was awesome to see him open his own spot. The beers are just as fantastic as I could have expected. So far I have not had a single thing I did not like. They have been doing all kinds of collabs with other breweries as well as limited batch releases. There really is something for everyones tastes, not just beer nerds. Flights or single samples are available. The beer menu rotates so there is always something new! My Christmas present this year was to join their Mug Club, which I look forward to starting in the New Year. If you want to bring the family they have a few games and Duck pin bowling. The menu is great and they change that up a bit too. So far ive had the impressively large Baja Salad with smoked turkey, the smoked wings and the giant baked potato with pulled pork. Everything has been yummy. There is plenty of seating at the bar, tables and even a few couches. TVs are scattered about for game day. There is ideally plenty of parking but it is shared with other businesses. A patio is available for nice weather. They have bottles and cans available for take out, as well as some cool merch.

Their classic burger won #1 burger in my 12 pub tour of Burger week. The service level from the bartender, Jamie, with the coolest glasses I've seen in years was extraordinary. Nearby is a place with food service that's so slow and so long you could grow a beard waiting for your burger. Like I tell my best clients "if it last more than 4 hours call your doctor" not here, food came so fast I wondered if the cook was telepathic. I hope Jamie's boss is good to him. He's a rare find.

We had been wanting to check this place out for a while. Brunch on Sunday sounded like the perfect time opportunity. We ordered a side of cheese curds to share, the breakfast taco trio, the breakfast brisket hash, and beers. The cheese curds didn't come out with any dipping sauce so I asked for ranch. They were good. The tacos were fantastic! There was a smokiness in the meat that was insane. The breakfast hash was subpar. After eating about half of it, it was soggy and had a bunch of standing water. There wasn't much taste to it either. Service was really good. There were a lot of kids, which I still always find odd at breweries.

Let me start with the fries because I didn't even get a picture, they were gone so fast you remember the perfect Burger King fries? Well those but better! Paired with the lemon raspberry crumble sour...chefs kiss! The vibe was definitely family friendly and maybe when the weather is much warmer the doors will be open and it wouldn't be as loud with little humans running around, but I will definitely visit again next time I'm in town.

We have been going to Wandering since they opened in 2023. We love the food, beer and the employees are great! On Saturday, March 1st, we hosted over 50 friends/family in their event room and it was perfect! Zach was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. When we ordered additional food it came out quickly. A huge THANK YOU to Zach and everyone else who helped make our event run smoothly. We could not have asked for a better evening!

Great Smash Burger! It's not easy to find a good one around here. Baked potato was good, too.

Easily some of the best beer you'll find in Cincinnati! The selection is top-notch, with expertly crafted brews that never disappoint. On top of that, the food is high quality, flavorful, and served up fast. Whether you're here for a quick bite or to enjoy a few pints, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!
