Not a brewery, just a bar. Just left. Wanted to have a few drinks with my whole family, 8 adults and 3 kids. There are no changing tables in the restrooms. The couch outside of the restrooms is off limits for diaper changes too apparently (I found out too late). The owner lady yelled at me and told me it was unsanitary to do that. Then I threw the diaper away in the 1 quart garbage can in the restroom. The owner later confronted me and told me that "this place was built to be more like a bar"(Direct Quote). But don't worry you can take your dogs in there anytime, even when they serve food(It's Sunday-2 big dogs). I wish the one on Eastern was still open, it was ran much better. Won't be back, not worth passing Listermann or Mad Tree to get to this place.

First time at the new Cincinnati location. Much better experience than at the old spot. I love that they are utilizing the historic bank building. Bartenders were friendly. Thanks to Kayla. Looking forward to coming back to enjoy the pretzels and dart board, and drink some more Hazy River.

We attended the soft opening where we had an opportunity to meet the team and try the cold brews \\u0026 BBQ. We were pleasantly surprised by the laid back vibe and comfortable space. The owners are kind, the beer is great and the food is a welcome addition. The atmosphere is kid friendly and board games are available for entertainment. My favorite was the Sheryl's Strawberry Ale. Bartenders are super friendly and happy to find something you like!

Nice space. Just opened a week or so ago, so the building looks very nice. Good amount of beers on tap. Did not try any of the food. I never went to their old taproom, but this one is nice, but it's only half full and it is loud. I imagine it would be to loud when full if it's as loud as it is when only half full.

Great little place with some very tasty brews! The pumpkin ale and chocolate stout were very good. Played games and had popcorn while you enjoyed your beer! On street parking .

Stopped in after stuffing ourselves silly on the fantastic eats at Brew River this Saturday morning. Enjoyed our flight, especially the Wicked Sheryl's blush pale ale, which I would not have chosen but for a staff recommendation...and the Hazy River IPA.... Friendly staff, comfortable place to watch football. Wish we had more places like this back home!

The beers were pretty good, but we almost didn't go inside. There was a terrible smell outside and we gagged a few times on our way in.

I really enjoyed my visit to Bad Tom Smith Brewing. I went on a Friday night with my dad and our dogs, and we were both impressed. The staff was super friendly, and the flights were $5 that night... a great way to try unfamiliar brews. My favorite was the 13 Preachers Marzen style. It was crisp and refreshing. The Kentucky Common was good too, slightly nutty with a tang. This place looks unimpressive from the outside, tucked up next to the Turf Club, but the inside is nicely furnished and has free popcorn and peanuts. They also have a small selection of snack mixes for sale, and some brewery shirts and gear in a small store area. It was quiet for a Friday, but I liked that. Definitely a nice place to relax. I'd definitely give this place another try in the future.
Great beer! - red rye is a favorite. My son, a beer connoissuer from the west coast, checked out all the local breweries and liked Bad Tom's the best for beer and for atmosphere. Small space but ample, so it doesn't get crazy loud like so many places. Games and an old record player with classic albums.

Love this place! In general, it's rare that a brewpub has more than two beers I want to try. I had an issue narrowing down a flight sample to only four beers. Seriously, they have twelve beers on tap, and eight that I would drink on any given day. Beer is above average in every way. Warning! A few of the beers have higher than average alcohol content that you don't really taste in real time. VERY easy to over do if you're not aware going in. Did I mention that I love this place? HIGHLY recommend ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

The beers are very spot on with the true flavors of the style of beer they are brewing. Well balanced and tasty. Heather was very helpful and friendly. 5 stars!
