30 Best Craft Breweries near Newport

“Great selection of drinks. A full menu of at least 15 on tap plus mixed drinks. Beards and bellies also makes good bar food. We always get the bread pudding, the chocolate and caramel are heavenly. The beer cheese and pretzels are also good if you want something more salty than sweet. Good selection of soda for my husband who doesn't drink. Good place for families. Never had to wait for a table like going here in the summer too as there are picnic tables outside. Smoking is allowed. Wheelchair and stroller friendly.“

“Very cool little spot in a “food truck park” on the river. Not busy on a Tuesday night but a cool place with great tap selections. Plus, they have a beer cooler for to-go options. Not a lot of seating inside (two small tables) but it was great and there are picnic tables and seating along the river galore.“

“My Mr and I had some time to kill and wanted to grab a drink before the show (at the MegaCorp). We walked by Wooden Cask and with no hesitation, went in. So..it's been YEARS since we've been to the Levee and they definitely revamped this area. More stores, restaurants and libations! They too partake in the Banks atmosphere. Walk around the area with your drinks. This place is very small but has so much to offer. I've been to their original brewery (loved it), I was impressed that they've up their game. Now their serve their craft beers on tap, wine, mock tails, seltzers, bourbon, and food. Their food menu is very small. Flatbreads, wings and sandwiches. We didn't have time to try but I know we will be back. Overall a great experience. The bartenders were cool and pricing was definitely reasonable.“

“This needs to be a must stop. The beers stout to sours are very good. The Brussel sprouts, crispy tenders and garlic fries are perfectly prepared. Then there's the view, ? right beside the purple bridge. Inside and outside seating is nice.“

“My husband and I both enjoyed our entrees. The chili was cold and lacked seasoning. The only time our server smiled was when she brought us our bill. I asked if I could sub the Chef’s Vegetables for a side salad, and she said yes, no problem. Then, when I got the bill, I noticed that she charged me an extra $3.00 for the salad. I was very close to asking for my veg's to go since I paid for them but decided not to sink to her level.“

“Amazing evening! From the over 30 beers and meads on tap, to the delicious food truck, to the adorable interior decor, this has got to be the best brewery in northern KY, probably the greater Cincinnati area! Great vibes, good people, and delightful sensory experience from beginning to end.“

“Very friendly and welcoming! Amazing beers and variety! With the food trucks or pizza delivery to the bar, it has a bit of an Austin bar scene feel. I love being able to have a real conversation with an owner and the level of personalization that comes with people who really care about their customers.“

“I’ve hosted events at this venue and had a wonderful experience. Kind and professional staff, great atmosphere. If you like sours, there’s no place that does it like Urban Artifact. They have the best selection with a ton of variety and seasonal options. I’ve yet to try one that I haven’t liked, but Teak is my go-to favorite.“

“Really enjoyed this niche spot for drinks. Beer flights available along with cocktails. Friendly staff. A good selection of beers , with some that are not at the main brewery that is right around the corner. Just a comfortable atmosphere.“

“This place has so much going on...such a great hangout spot. Drink beer, have some pizza, play some games, and watch the game on the giant tv. Laid back vibe for sure. Giant beer hall that can host a ton of people. It's such a fun place!“

“Decided to stop here on our trip with our 2 kids, 5 and 3. The staff were all very friendly and the food and beer were great. We used the QR code to order food and drinks from my phone and it worked great. We tried the dill pickle pizza and the kids had chicken tenders and fries, and it was all fantastic. The staff brought our kids a paper with a scavenger hunt on it. It was not easy, even for an adult, but my kids loved it and it gave them something to do. I found myself looking around for the stuff just as much as my kids. The owner ended up helping us find a couple of the items and he was super friendly and talked to us for a bit. I would definitely go back!“

“Love the environment, the setup, menu, TVs, music selection and customer service I received. Although I've only attended a couple of times to dine and have a drink with friends. There was only one major disappointment that saddened me. The prices aren't very budget friendly. To register and participate in the classes/events is WAYY over the top. Theres a way to still make healthy profit and cover costs without charging ridiculous prices. I was very impressed and excited to see the classes and other calendar events they were hosting. The ideas and themes chosen I thought were perfect. I was genuinely excited as a customer who has just joined the community just shy of 3 years ago and ha e been looking forward to finding ways to to meet fellow neighbors but to get involved with my neighborhood and support our local businesses!!“

“Local brewery and distillery close to Findlay Market. Focus on German style beer and clear spirits like rum and vodka. You can see the production area from the inside. An outdoor patio is available for warmer spring days to come.The menu is bar friendly. The Loaded Tots were very good. Unfortunately, I ate them all before, I thought to take a picture. ?“

“Pretty nice little spot. They were out of pretty much all the food at the truck by the time we got there at 8pm on Friday night. The bar staff was amazing. The beer was pretty good too. Nice spot to stop along the way if you're going to multiple bars.“

“Amazing quality craft beers.Not overly expensive.Great customer service.Anything can be sampled generally.Whiskey Wednesdays are funCalista flockheart is easily my favorite.Family friendly.Clean, and the vibe is calm and welcoming.Not a homey place.More hipster.“

“A great place to get together with friends and hangout! There are a lot of tables and standing room inside. The outside patio is very nice and comforting! They also have seats around firepit tables for a chilly night. Their beer list is very large! The bartends are very nice and helpful and will provide you with samples if you ask. There is food upstairs for a nice snack! The only complaint I have is the bathrooms. There are only two individual bathrooms which leaves for a rather long line at times. Otherwise a must check out place!“

“While visiting my daughter & son-in-law in Cincinnati (from San Diego), they took me to one of their favorite places, Esoteric. It was in the middle of the day on a rainy Friday. It was more of an order and take out kinda day. However, we ate in the restaurant. I ordered the cauliflower, kimchi and a Tequila Tango. The cauliflower was tasty, light and delicious. The kimchi had that little "kick" (spicy) but not too much. The ambience was casual and welcoming. I was here during a previous visit, in the evening and it had a larger crowd I but did not eat food. I would highly recommend this place.“

“The outdoor seating at this location looks amazing. I wish it would have been warm enough to take advantage of it. We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of taproom exclusives. They also have the staple Sam Adam's beers you are used to seeing along with a small food menu. The inside has plenty of seating and the service was great!“

“High five to Callie for being such a fantastic human! Our party of 4 arrived at a time to get some personal attention from Callie. Great beverage recommendations and the pizza! Wow! We will be sure to make it back to see you when we visit the area! People like Callie make an experience at Bircus memorable! (Even more than the establishment is on its own)“

“Overall five stars because Gilligan's is worth a visit! It's a very nice family place with a good atmosphere and service.We had brunch and despite being full, I cleaned my plate! The breakfast platter was just right, with perfectly cooked eggs. The chicken tender with it was delicious! The waffles were yummy too! The food is just solidly good.It's clear management is involved, checking in with staff when it got busy. All around, a friendly place. I will be back for sure and cannot wait to try the outdoor seating and more of the menu!Parking: There is plenty of street parking but also two free public lots towards the railroad tracks.Kid-friendliness: It's definitely a family place and kids are welcome!“

“I can't thank Fibonacci Brewing enough for hosting our Mama Kickback event in North College Hill. It was an absolutely fantastic experience, and I want to express my gratitude through this Google review.From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for our gathering of moms and women looking to unwind.

“Top-notch beer varieties (I had their French Connection farmhouse Saison and their Monty IPA) and the Fig and Prosciutto pizza loaded with both on the best crust. Not a crumb left. Great outdoor and indoor spaces in the heart of old town Montgomery.“

“We had a really fun evening at Listermann Brewing Company's beer and cheese pairing event. The pairing of four of their beers with Urban Stead Cheese Company had been thoughtfully chosen.A representative from both the Listermann and Urban Stead gave us some background on their businesses and then talked a little about each offering.We enjoyed all of the beers, but Chickow!, a Double Brown Ale with Hazelnut, was definitely our favorite. Hubby even bought some cans to bring home!Their restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, so perhaps we'll go back on another day of the week next time to check them out as well.“

“The beers rotate and we have always found something we liked. It is a simple place with long tables and chairs. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and try to get to you quickly. You need to go to the bar to get a beer but there is usually not much of a wait. Food trucks usually provided food but they have the pizza company that used to be at MadTree. We enjoyed the pizza at MadTree so assume it will be just as good here.“

“Really cool hangout spot with a HUGE space, indoor and outdoor. They have a ton of parking to accommodate the space. They have a QR code at every table, so ordering is pretty easy. The food itself is fine, nothing I would crave but they've got a decent menu with lots of pizza options. I would recommend the Very Veggie and Crafted Caprese. The pickle chips and fries are crispy too! It's a great place to go to if you have a big group. 5/5 for the ambiance but wish the food was better.“

“The tasting experience was nothing short of exceptional, with a curated selection of spirits showcasing the distillery's dedication to quality and innovation. From smooth bourbons to flavorful gins, each sip was a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every bottle.“

“We visited 9 Giant BC(before covid) and it was good but not special. We returned today and were pleasantly surprised. Very rarely does a microbrewery get better.If you are lucky a good one stays consistent and the rest get worse over time.Tasted all 10 on tap and every one was high quality. Not all my taste, but the Belgian wit, the west coast ipa and the Dunkel were outstanding.Congratulations and we wish you continued success!“

“We frequent this location a lot and love the beer and pizza and tots. Gavel Banger is among my favorite IPAs. The bartenders are always nice and I like the environment. Unfortunately, they decreased their space a lot, so it is not as relaxing as it used to be.“

“I really enjoyed the 3 beers I had (marzen, berliner weisse, hefeweizen), and the bartender was friendly and attentive. Also great to have a quality food business in the taproom serving both apps and meals. Would be even better if I could have ordered my food via the bartender instead of leaving the bar.“
