“This is a great place with so much history! the waitress, Jasmine, was friendly and did a great job!“
“Hands down our favorite Cincy location! Anytime we come to the city we make an effort to get here.
The only real issue this place has is with the parking Findlay market is just South of here and especially on a weekend that seems to flood the street parking. We aren't local but 1 out of the last 5 trips to the city we've not been able to find parking to come in and enjoy some great beer.
If you do make it inside, checkout the rooftop (not obvious but if you make an immediate right when you come up the stairs you'll find it). GREAT views of the city while having a pint!“

“Four buddy's and I stopped by for our first visit last night. Gus was on point with his attentive service and knowledgeable beer descriptions. Tried the Crazy Norse(I'm not an IPAer, but it was fantastic) and the "Route 9"(a smooth Lager) Outstanding!! 👍👍 The Cod sandwich was excellent!! Ashley's prompt support with the food and drink delivery helped to make our visit a highly enjoyable experience! We'll be back soon!!“
“Quiet, small, and relaxing brewery making amazing beers. As it should be! Had the Belgian Tripel and the saison. Both were great!
Also, there are plenty of seats below the trees and a farm house. However, please go to another place if you’re looking for something like Coors/Miller/Bud/Bush light style.“
“This is the best Brewery in town!!!
I had my 50th birthday celebration here in the private party 🎊 room which was just right for a small crowd. It was intimate, had a grown and sexy atmosphere. Lindsey the event coordinator was pleasant, patient and very helpful with questions regarding any accommodations for me and my guest. I would definitely do business with them again.“
“I love bad Tom smith ! Great environment and great food and beer !“

“**updating my original review from December ‘24. West Side management has reached out and shared that this previous manager is no longer working there. Our deposit was refunded and we all agreed communication could have been better. I appreciate their understanding and follow up. We enjoy the times we have had at the brewery and look forward to getting back again soon.
This one star is solely for the Management of West Side. I’ve been here more times than I can count, from random drop ins for a beer, organized network happy hours to birthday parties. My family invested in the original start up back in the day. They were one of my first places to check out when throwing my mom’s surprise 60th Birthday party. The booking process was fairly simple.. I would have appreciated more communication from management when booking but in today’s world I have very low expectations with customer service.
Day of the party came and I booked 3 extra hours for time to set up and make sure the space was ready. I made sure to introduce myself to all the staff from the kitchen manager, bar tenders (they were good) and taproom manager. Everyone was aware I was the organizer of the event and to reach out to me during for anything.
Party was great! My mom was surprised and it seemed like everyone was very comfortable in the two rooms we rented ($30/hr for 2 rooms from 4-11). I reached back out to the taproom manager for my $100 deposit back & received the unprofessional response attached. I did realize once we arrived at the party that my balloons had confetti inside of them which confetti is not permitted. Balloons are permitted though so unless we went around popping all of them there was no issue in my eyes. I did immediately asked for a broom so I could manage any mess during the party (which there wasn’t). I stayed after with my husband, mother (birthday girl), dad, and cousins to clean everything up spotless.
The second issue was around our guests eating food from the party next to us. This was one couple (65 years old) that got confused & didn’t realize this was not our party. We took over 80% of the party space so it wasn’t clear to them that there was even another party nearby not a part of us.
The fact that no one from west side even brought this to my attention is ridiculous. I would have happily apologized to the other party and purchased food for them to make up for what had happened.
From start to finish Colin at West Side has not been helpful and has been extremely rude. I feel like I need to blame the kitchen staff as well for not communicating at all.
Sadly I would not recommend West Side for any future events. They didn’t feel welcoming and seemed bothered by the 3 children there (out by 9PM) that were very well behaved & enjoying themselves.
The 30+ Cincinnati Firefighter brotherhood that attended is also disappointed to hear how this was handled and won’t be having any future meet ups here.“
“I have been a HUGE fan of "The Ferm" for a while now. I live in the neighborhood and it is my favorite spot to drop in on. Just when I didn't think I could love them more, they proved me wrong. I organized a corporate holiday party here, and Megan was such an amazing partner in the coordination from start to finish! The actual event exceeded ALL expectations! Megan, Emily and Jean Luc were an all star team! This is my third year organizing this event and this was absolutely THE BEST! THE Fermentorium checks ALL THE BOXES!!! I recommend them for a planned evening out, an impromptu quick drink, or to host a private event!!!!“
“I was at MPH last night (3/19) and they were very busy! The one bartender was super friendly and apologized for my wait. Having worked in the service industry myself I asked if her manager was available so that I could let them know what a great job she was doing and was told that the manager was not there. I would hope that not only would a manager be on site but would be out front helping with the large crowd.“
“Stopped in today on a whim. Ended up staying for a few hours. Dale at the bar was so friendly and informative. The beers were great, old fashioned slushie is must try and the smoked wings were phenomenal! We will definitely be back! Thanks!“

“Loved the igloo! Shoutout to Kris for going above and beyond and making us some 5⭐️ mules!“
“Visited for your 6th anniversary celebration Bradley and Sophia are the only names I caught but the service was great! Bradley sat us and made sure we were taken care of. Sophia helped us figure out our drinks. We’ve been here many times and it’s always great but I couldn’t not mention the service that we received. We love this place more every time we make it here and these 2 employees made our day. Thank you!“

“My husband and I were celebrating our wedding reception with our close friends and family. The staff was so sweet and catering to us all. The drinks were amazing. Jackie was amazing at communicating everything and making all the planning easy for us. I'd definitely recommend that if you have a party or event, you need a space to come here! They will make everything worth your time. If you're looking to take nice pictures, the top balcony has a lovely backdrop of old buildings!“
