Woah what an awesome concept!! Rfid based drinks!!!

Nice beer selection, although it feels like NYC pricing. $0.80/oz is like $13/pint! On the other hand you don’t have to tip on self serve beer, so maybe it’s a bit more reasonable. Frites were ok and for some reason the water machine dispensed warm water.

We eat here every time we come to Cincy. The food is phenomenal! It’s the same guys every time we go that are so kind and accommodating. But the food, it is off the charts delicious! Highly recommend!

I was looking for somewhere to take my roommate/ex/friend (you thought your life was complicated! ?) for her birthday. I Googled "fun restaurants in Cincinnati", and this one was first on the list. After reading about C&F, I stopped searching, and decided to bring her here. It definitely turned out to be a good decision! Service was great - everyone was friendly and welcoming. The "walls of beer" as I like to call them were awesome, and I don't drink. My ex, who does, loved it - especially the incredible selection, and the ability to pour any amount you want, from a sample ounce and up. And the food was the bomb! We started with two appetizers, and unfortunately, ended with those two appetizers. Had we realized how huge the portions were, we would have ordered just one in order to save room for the main course we were looking forward to. The Brussel sprouts were unlike any we've had, and it's worth going back if for nothing else than them. The Shmack fries alone made her birthday, they were so good. If you're still reading this (way to persevere!), and you're considering C&F, I can unequivocally state - you will not be disappointed!!

Its a pour your own type deal here which is great - you pay by the ounce. The drinks are rather expensive but they have a good selection. I had the quesadilla which was very good. They have a couple tables outside where you could sit out and bring your dog. They have an upstairs and downstairs lounge area where you can take your food.

First of all great food and over 50 beers on tap! I personally asked for an Ice tea and they didn’t not have on the menu. The employee went and made some. We got great service and my 18 year old said some of the best food he has ever had and we have traveled to several countries. I also would like to add when you have the young men working the counter and serving like it’s their restaurant and treating it as such the owner can’t ask for better employees jist wish I had asked their names!

The food is way above average for bar food. But it’s not a typical bar environment either. The CF burger is wild good. All the flavors mesh together perfect, each bite tastes like your mom is saying she’s proud of you. The brussel sprouts are good but I think they’re missing something. Great experience overall. Also Ryan’s customer service is top notch.

Two friends and I were in town from Columbus, and we stopped in here planning to get one drink. We spent several hours here, we got the egg rolls, birria tacos, quesadilla, and schmack fries, all of which were delicious! The drink concept is an amazing idea! The staff is so friendly! We loved talking with and getting to know Ryder and Alec! Fabulous people. Fabulous food. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Cincy. ?

I’m from Columbus, and my friends and I came down to Cincinnati to go to a Reds game for my birthday. It’s my first time in this city, and I had seen this place on a list of LGBTQ- friendly establishments, so when we stumbled upon it, my friends and I decided to stop in for a drink. Next thing you know, we’d spent 3 hours there, had dinner, and became friends with the staff. The food: honestly, probably the best meal I’ve had since I moved to Ohio 7 years ago. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE EGG ROLLS. Simply outstanding, but, then again, everything was. Ryder (Server/Knower-of-All-Things) and Alec (Head Chef) were just amazing. I’m tempted to drive back to Cincy solely for them and the food. Seriously. Check this place out. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I had a wonderful time. I like the pour your own beer concept and the rotating menu. Came from out of town for the week and really wish we had something like this where I am from.
We came here for the food and were not disappointed. It was outstanding. I dare say best nachos I've ever eaten. The drinks are all on tap and are self serve which is awesome because you never have to wait for a drink. 100% recommend.

Birria Shmack Fries are excellent. 5/5Chicken sandwich is very good, 4/5. It is not the one on the website though.You can sample all the drinks because they are sold by the fl oz. Being self serve you can grab as many as you like without waiting for the staff.
Jim Anderson
WOW! Definitely worth a visit. Great concept with even better food. Had a quesadilla app and burger. Hands down the best quesadilla I've ever had. Burger was fire as well. I was eating with 8 other friends and all agree, when your in Cincy, don't miss this spot. Professional friendly service, at a good value, thank you.

We found this place online being out-of-towners and were so pleased with our choice! We don't drink alcohol but ordered six dishes from the menu and loved every single one. A highlight was the shrimp ceviche. Service was super friendly and kind even though there is no traditional table service with a waiter. Order at the counter, and they bring the food out to your table. For those that do drink, the self-serve taps are quite innovative! An introvert's dream.....Kid-friendliness: I would not recommend for kids.

This is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! I would absolutely recommend! This place has such a great atmosphere and great staff. Alec was hands down so amazing and so helpful. I will be definitely returning!
