“Amazing brews, great service! Stop in often if you want to catch your favorite brew! Friendly people sweet environment and did I mention phenomenal drinks?“
“This is a great place with so much history! the waitress, Jasmine, was friendly and did a great job!“
“We had an exceptional experience at Braxton Brewery at Factory 52! The atmosphere was amazing, the facility was beautiful, and everything was set up perfectly for our group. Our reserved tables were ready when we arrived, the drinks were delicious, and the bartenders and staff were absolutely fantastic. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the night run so
I am extremely grateful for the service and hospitality we received. Everything exceeded my expectations and helped make the evening celebration so special. Highly recommend for a fun night out or hosting a gathering. We will definitely be back!“
“This place is LGBTQIA+ friendly, and is the first Black and Asian co-owned brewery in Cincinnati. It is a great place to gather with family and friends.
The food was delicious and I love the atmosphere of Esoteric Brewing. They have some fun and whimsical fantasy decor along the bar. I ordered the honey cilantro chicken sandwich and from the first bite, it is so tasty. They were very accommodating and put the aioli on the side when I asked. During this visit, I ordered a mocktail as well and it was sweet and delicious.
My family usually buys cans of Esoteric beer to enjoy at home, and even though I am not a big beer drinker, I still really like the selection they have here.
They host karaoke nights occasionally, and the art on the walls changes every month as a new artist is featured each month.“

“Great local brewery to grab a cold beer! They have friendly staff and wonderful owners“
“I’m from Chicago and enjoy the Chicago brewery scene there and this place is not only
large with fun games to play, but it has some pretty great beer. A flight for $12? You can’t find that back in Chicago for less than $20. The Juicy Truth is such a great beer and watching the World Cup on the big screen is awesome too!
Definitely going to keep the beer in the back pocket for when I see it!“
“Alexandria brewing company is a great spot ! which has plenty of tables and a large tv projected to catch the best games. Their bartenders are friendly and welcoming. Their beer is top notch, and they have a guest tap too which keeps it fresh as well. Looking forward to bringing our dog next time and sitting outside.
Also Bender's Pub Grub inside the brewery is SO good - this is way better than your usual bar food.
Highly recommend to anyone - we drive from 30 mins away for their beer & food! Excited for their new location in West Chester.“
“My aunt had her retirement party here and rented out the whole place. The drinks were amazing and the appetizers served were PHENOMENAL, I couldn’t believe it was brewery food. I definitely recommend renting out for events! Great environment too.“
“Always so delicious! Everything we’ve ever ordered has been absolutely exceptional.“
“**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.“
“An underrated place to stop in Cincinnati. They have a ton of limited beers specific just to this location along with the Boston Beers staples such as Cherry Wheat. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Definitely a good spot to check out if you are brewery hopping in the area.“
“such a great set up with an outstanding selection of beers...very friendly wait staff and patrons.“

“Food is always on point! One of my favorite places to eat out. Service is always EXCEPTIONAL, Amanda is our regular server and she is always attentive, sweet, and provides excellent service every time. Love BJ’s!“
“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!“
“I plan events all over the Cincy area and I have to say this staff is phenomenal. Easy to work with, always professional with a “we will make it work” attitude.“

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!!“
