Northern Row Brewery & Distillery

This brewery is amazing! Not only is their beer amazing, but they also are a distillery and have the best gins in the city! Looking forward to my next pour. Cheers!

Got the old fashioned with knob Creek rye and got the Bruschetta Flatbread

Most expensive tap water I’ve ever had. Didn’t even know you could charge 8 dollars for a beer, let alone beer that’s 3.5% alcohol.
Nice spot otherwise; the carpet really tied it together.

They had a Chili flight for Cincy Chili Week that was amazing!! Josh totally gets it. Vegan gluten free TexMex, white chicken chili and cincy chili. Omg!! The beers available were a nice bonus. Definitely coming back

Very high quality beer in all styles. "Brewer" is my favorite beer of all time, and I always stop in to have one anytime I'm in the area.

Big beer guy here. If I was in OTR, I’d take take this place over Rhinegeist 10 times out of 10. Unique food menu that hits. Beer is great. Awesome atmosphere. Having its own parking in OTR is a game changer.

The best brewery in Cincinnati. They have a wonderfully diverse selection of beers on tap ranging from Dortmunders to pilsners, hefeweisens to dunkels. Pair those with some delicious food from the kitchen and you've got everything you need. Oh and they have a phenomenal distillery (Five Stories Gin is the best gin in town). The people behind the bar are friendly, which naturally draws a great crowd. Go show some love to the best drinkery in Cincinnati

My fiancé and I went on the OTR Beer Tunnel tour, and our tour guide Harrison did a fantastic job of sharing the history and cool sights near the area. Great storytelling, very friendly, and made the experience very memorable. Plus, at the end of the tour, you get a free beer with a wooden nickel (you'll learn what that's for in the tour 😉)

Bites & Brews in a Vintage Vibe

We stopped by for drinks and left impressed with the food. The Chicken Pot Pie and the Burnt Ends Melt with tots hit the spot, paired with three beers and a cocktail for a total of $78.69.

The Breakdown:

Value (4/5): Portions were satisfying for the price.
Taste (4/5): Well-prepared and flavorful dishes, though the tots missed the mark.
Variety (3/5): A compact menu with just enough to please most diners.
Uniqueness (3/5): The offerings didn’t stand out, but they delivered on quality.
Service (5/5): Friendly, attentive staff elevated the experience.
Atmosphere (4/5): A spacious, vintage-industrial setting with plenty of character.
Bottom line: Come for the drinks, stay for the surprisingly solid food and warm service. Perfect for a casual night out in a unique space!

Good beer, great staff

A nice place and good drinks!!

Had a blast on the tour loved all of the information given, thanks to our guide Harrison for the fun time and insights on where to go

Probably my favorite brewery in OTR. The atmosphere is great, beer is fantastic, and there food is amazing. Not to mentioned the support they offer to the Brewery Heritage Trail. Winter or Summer, Northern Row is always on my list.

We stopped in for a taste of their spirits and ended up with a gin flight.
The gins were good, botanical was my favorite. The tonic was perfect with each pour.
The building is remarkable! Underground cave tour is available, celebrating the history of spirit making in The Queen City.
The service was not the best. Sitting at the bar, we waited quite sometime before our order was taken, and the server wasn't knowledgeable or perhaps uninterested in making our experience memorable.

If you are looking for a great tour, stop in.

Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

Super cool place and great beer! The Wassailer was 👌 Good food and a ton of cool history! (They have the actual training boat from “The Boys in the Boat”!). We’ll come back as often as we’re in Cincy.
