Third Eye Brewing Company Brewery • $$
850 S Erie Blvd, Hamilton - 9.34 miles

“Couldn't recommend this place enough. This past weekend we made a reservation for 24 people at another restaurant & were very excited to eat there for a 30th birthday. Come to find out even after I'd reserved the tables 2 weeks ago & confirmed on Facebook they don't do reservations & don't have enough space even for that many people. so frantically searching for a place to go for everyone, we showed up at Third Eye where they immediately told us after everything that they would absolutely take care of us. On a busy Saturday night, during their 1 year anniversary party they put us all in a private back room & completely took care of us. Absolutely saved the day!“

Fretboard Brewing Company - Blue Ash Brewery • $$
5800 Creek Rd, Cincinnati - 4.95 miles

“Always fantastic. Go for the fries, stay for the blue cheese. Oh yeah, they have meats too. I usually get the spicy garlic on the wings, but they were kind enough to give me a cup on the side of the Chernobyl to try. It is very hot, but I would not say super hot. If you regularly eat habanero sauces and want more then this is probably a good heat level for you. It also has a good flavor, it’s not just hot for sake of being hot. Everyone there is super friendly also. Great atmosphere. Cool aesthetic. There is often live music on the weekends, which can be a bit loud and it definitely gets busy. Not a negative, just something to be aware of. Come during off hours if you don’t want that. I wish I could just buy a jug of the blue cheese. Maybe I can, but I haven’t asked.“

Nine Giant Fermentorium Brewery • $$

“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.“

Grainworks Brewing Company Brewery •
7790 Service Center Dr, West Chester - 8.24 miles

“Friend and I went for Tune Trivia (we lost) and had a fantastic time. Cool space, easy parking, and great people.

Bartenders were able, eager, and willing to engage my friend (with minimal beer knowlege) as to what might suit her palette. She got a blueberry ale and I got a flight including seltzer, weisse, marzen, and cider. Everything was excellent. Props to the brewers for that Weiss! It has a mild, clean tartness and the blueberry mellows out the crisp flavor. Effervescent and light.

Kitchen was easily accessible and had a great workflow. Those buzzers work wonders for window traffic. Everyone was super attentive and friendly. My friend got the Mac n' Cheese flight and it is absolutely worth the hype. Her favorite was the Buffalo, but all were excellent. The pickled onions made the BBQ sample. I got the chicken wings with habañero sauce and they were amazing! Habañero sauce was excellent and the smokey crispness of the wings was excellent. That sauce is only for hot-heads, though! Excellent flavor with great heat.“

West Side Brewing Brewery • $$
3044 Harrison Ave, Cincinnati - 11.21 miles

“**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.“

“Pretty solid place to drink and eat, with perhaps a few kinks to work out. A minor situation beyond the establishment's control broke out while I was there, and staff handled it very well. My biggest complaints were that the hard seltzers were flat and the kitchen seemed to be out of a lot of things. Still, I would go back, and when I do I'll adjust my rating accordingly.“

Super friendly, fast with the pours, and just overall great energy. You can tell they love what they do—made killer recommendations and kept the vibe fun all night. If you’re stopping by, definitely hope they’re behind the bar. 10/10 would come back just for them! 🍻🔥“

“While visiting thee high school that my wife's father attended, we stopped for lunch at Gilligan's on the Green, a restaurant and brewery. I was told by our waiter that Gilligan's was once the old fire station of Wyoming, a suburb of Cincinnati. We chose to sit outside on the deck. Inside the resturant, our waiter said, there were rooms that acould accommodate small groups up to 60 for a special event or party. It was a Friday and from some past remembrance of my youth of having fish on Fridays, I chose the fish and chips. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich. I didn't get a few "fingers" of fish ... I got a hunk of fish, expertly fried with a nongreasy tempura like crust. There is a great list of pub style favorites on the menu, and a full bar.While not entirely an Irish pub it can't be ruled out:) Gilligan's has great service, ample parking and is wheelchair accessible.

Parking: Plenty of available parking. This was lunch time.

Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating. Family atmosphere.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible.“
