    Jubilee IPA

    Braxton is an awesome brewery in the heart of the OTR in Cincinnati. I make it a habit of always hanging out there whenever I'm in Cincy. The service is always great and the brews are always fantastic! I'm not much of a fan of their flavored beers but I love their IPA's and the Garage beer is a great lager. Additionally, Braxton has awesome bar food! Everything is great! The wings, pretzel bites, you really can't go wrong. Great hangout to watch sports, great service and the bar menu has fantastic food! I definitely recommend!

    My wife said it best as we were leaving - "now that we've used that gift card, we never have to come back to a Braxton!" I've been here multiple times. The last was over a year ago when they hosted a so-called F1 watch party. That experience was terrible; we couldn't hear the commentary and there was no food because the cook showed up late. I contacted Braxton HQ after that to express my frustrations and was promised a $50 gift card via email from Richard Kohl, the "Director of Taprooms" at the time. It never arrived. Sadly, a family member purchased us another "Best of Brews" gift card, so we decided to give this Braxton location another chance since we knew they would have the F1 race on, and there was also a Bengals game on at the same time - what a great opportunity for us to go to Braxton, drink a few drinks and watch all the sports! What a mistake. Nothing has changed since the last time I was here. We grabbed two seats at the bar and was attended to by a pleasant female behind the bar. I wish I would have caught her name, because she was the only one here with a lick of customer service. Chris, the other guy behind the bar (let me be clear with who this is: today, he was wearing a Black Keys shirt, backwards hat, glasses, and has long hair), has no business in the service industry. When we attempted to cash out our tab with the gift card, we were told they couldn't accept it because they "haven't gotten that update from corporate." Well, Chris, that's bull because we used the same type of gift card here last year. The other bartender at least had enough common sense to say "nope, we'll accept it" and just knocked the amount of the gift card off my check. As far as a sports viewing experience goes, it's bad. You still can't hear the commentary. The F1 race started at 4pm and I asked if they could turn on the commentary and was told no, because the Bengals game was starting at 4:25 and the audio would be on for that. Ok, you could have made the abundant number of F1 fans there to watch the race happy and turned the audio on for at least 20 minutes but whatever. When they did finally turn the Bengals game audio on, we still couldn't hear it. My wife and I streamed the audio off of our phones and listened to it through headphones... In summary: Beer? Fine Sports watching? Average Sports listening to accompany your viewing? Nonexistent Customer service? I don't think Braxton knows what this is.

    This place is really fun for a watch party- soccer, football..... whatever you seek in sports. Braxton beers are some of the best in Cincinnati. This is the Pendleton/OTR location . Grab a cocktail or a few beers and catch a game .

    Check out those views!

    Cool views & great brews on the rooftop of Braxton Brewing. This is a number one go to when we visit Cincy!

    I enjoyed my experience here so much! The man working behind the counter was so friendly. I came mid-day so it was a little empty, however I would definitely come back with a group of people and it would be a great time. It's also very clean in here and open. I ordered a 6-pack of the Peach Cobbler beers to go, it was a great gift for my mother!

    I've got to admit I'm impressed. I've been following Braxton for a long time and I know that they are master marketers and do a good job in most everything they do. The beer is generally pretty good never mind blowing to me but never lacking enough that I'm upset. Starting off... the old three points brewery space it's beautiful big and open. It's conveniently located a few blocks from my office so it makes for a great spot to hit up later in the day after some stressful work. All the beers I had here today tasted very fresh, cold, and amazing. I don't know if they have gotten better at their recipes or just the lines are clean but everything was on point. I really like their new Radler, although a little sweet, I mixed it half-and-half with summer trip and it was one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. I also grabbed a few cases of the pumpkin spice seltzer on my way out which is a surprisingly good drink from what I would have expected it to taste like. The staff here was very helpful friendly and the vibe is nice. I will definitely be coming back here quite often. PS I So awesome good looking food here but didn't get a chance to try it. Also they have the Biocell can't sanitizer which is the best out there it smells amazing!

    Even though I was sad to see 3 Points go, I was very happy to hear Braxton was moving in to this space! If you are looking for a place to grab a drink to watch the Bengals or some college football this is the place. There are plenty of TVs with multiple games going on throughout the brewery. One thing I did notice about this Braxton location, is it seems more accommodating for big groups compared to the Covington location. There are plenty of tables for groups 10 or less! I can't wait to come back when in I'm in the Pendleton area!

    The sours are very delicious here. The staff was very nice. The building is spacious enough where you have lots of choices in seating and still are able to have good conversation. Definitely recommend!

    I love and miss three points but braxtons new space is very beautiful. So much on tap and they mentioned they'll be brewing location specific brews which I've very excited to try!

    Stopped in recently for dinner after a Bengals game and had a great time. If you're leaving the…read morestadium area it's a 20 minute walk with some uphill, but well worth the trek to get ahead of the crowds. The bars near the stadium were mobbed. The seating is family style with long tables. You can order via QR codes (meh) or walk up to the side of the bar for food and drink. The manager came around and introduced himself to everyone and was all over the place. Helping in the kitchen, bar, cleaning up etc.. He's definitely an asset because he didn't disappear as the rush started coming in. The inside is nicely decorated and I was digging their Voodoo/skull theme. We settled in and watched the 4pm NFL game on one of the large TV's while chatting with some disappointed Bengals fans and locals. Beer wise they had a nice selection of classic Voodoo brews (we used to get them a lot in the Philly area several years ago), a balance of styles and some newer brews I'd never heard of. If you enjoy the dark side of beer the Where Our Secrets Go Imperial Stout was delicious and thankfully more along the lines of the traditional style Impy Stout. I had an IPA that I can't remember the name of, but it had a nice Belgian yeast/hop twist to it. My son enjoyed their root beer. Food wise the Jumbo Chicken Wings, roasted in house hit the spot, I highly recommend them. I added their Good Vibes BBQ "Sawce", but you can get them dry rubbed or chose from several other "Sawces". The wings were big with fresh meat and the sauce was great. The Pub pretzel we ordered was huge and the good vibes beer cheese complimented it well. The Mr. Pickles Fried Pickles were also a great choice for an app. They were a big portion. My friend had the Chili Mac and my son ordered the Lil Mashburgers - 2 little smashburgers oozing with cheddar & chippies off the kids menu. We ate, had a couple of beers and enjoyed our dinner at Voodoo before we explored more of downtown Cincy. I'll be honest I wanted to avoid BrewDog and Voodoo and experience home grown Cincinnati breweries, but we were really happy we stopped at Voodoo. Thanks guys you earned a fourth star for great friendly service from the manager and bartenders!!

We ordered extra hot wings, and the sauce was great but to make it "extra hot" they just added a metric ton of hot pepper or some hot seasoning, and it was nearly inedible. They were extremely over sauced. The fries were okay. My dry rub wings were good. It's basically self serve, you order on the website via QR code. They brought our food all at once due to that, to include the appetizer. Service was quick but we only saw our "waiter" once to deliver our food. If we had needed refills, we wouldn't have gotten them. We didn't even get silverware and only got one appetizer plate. The ambiance was nice, it's a great looking facility. I probably won't be back though, unfortunately. Just not great enough to bother going again. We did have one beer off the draft list that was good. The dragons milk.

To start this place is a "sit down" but you have to order at the bar and they bring it to you. We were a tad thrown off with that since they literally had waiters and people roaming around, didn't make sense to me. But that was just the start! We decided to order nachos and a pretzel to start the meal. The pretzel was disgusting, hard and lacking flavor and the $14 nachos was a side plate with a small portion of nachos on it. I asked the server what was with the size of the nachos and he said he though they were normal. They aren't, you go to a normal bar and for $14 comes out a platter with nachos that are loaded. Then our mains came out, my wife's salad was gross, lacking flavor and with dry chicken and my burger was decent. For $90 this meal should have been WAYYY better. We left feeling very disappointed and will definitely not be coming back.

The layout was pretty typical for them albeit on a smaller scale than their locations in Las Vegas and Columbus. Several bar areas, a gaming mezzanine, couches, art on the walls and a roof deck (wasn't open when we visited). The large L shaped bar was clean and manned by a nice fellow. We headed up to the mezzanine and played some games while watching the 4pm game on their big screens. Food wise - we didn't eat here, but I can tell you from past BrewDog experiences their wings are always on point. Beer wise - They had a good mix on their 24 or so taps - IPA/Pale Ales (8 on tap), ciders (4), stouts & dark beers (3), lagers & pilsner (2), sour & fruit-based (2) and five beers for a community beer festival that was running that weekend. $1 of every pint poured went to charity. I had a Winter Staycation at 7.5% - our seasonal stout that brings rich pecan and sweet toffee flavors right to your glass. Every sip is a warming blend of nostalgia and bold flavors, crafted to remind you of the comforts of the season. If you loved last year's cozy winter release, this one's sure to feel right at home. It was average with sweet pecan flavors, caramel, vanilla, toffee and tasted malts. Drank like a porter. It was OK which is what most of their beers are. Just above average in my humble opinion. From my experiences between BrewDog and Voodoo, it seems the outsiders are better options than the local breweries (except Northern Row they were good) in Cincinnati. Can't go wrong with visiting this BrewDog. Thanks guys!

This process was nice, as we didn't have to track anyone down or stare at a menu while trying to order with a line behind us. We got our beers from a friendly bartender, sat, and took our time scrolling through the menu. Our food came together, which was strange as we expected the wing appetizer to come first. The pizza was awesome! The cheese blend reminds me a lot of costcos. The wings were just okay. Maybe I am not a buffalo person, but overall they did not have much flavor. Next time we'll try something else. Prices can add up, but it is nothing crazy compared to places around town. If you want a nice evening with good drinks, good atmosphere, and good food, I'd recommend here.

There is a small taproom with a much larger Oktoberfest styled hall (meaning large community tables). There are plugs here if you work remote, although I would NEVER do that. :P The beers are not the best I had in Cincy, but they are above the average in Cincy, so it is definitely above average. It is also a well-known, stable brewery. I understand Listermann recently sold the spot, so it will be interesting to see if there are changes going forward. The board is a bit heavy at this point, with quite a few brews over 10%. My feelings on the beers? The IPAs are decent, but they shine brightly with their stouts and pastry sours. The blackberry cobbler sour (12%) and Forbidden Imperial Stout got my top marks. Would love to return and see how the food is here, but spring break worked against me. If you go through my profile, you will find I have a couple of hidden gems we found on our trek.
