Giant Pretzel
Ryan L.

I had been really wanting to check this place out since I moved downtown about a year ago, and today was that day. This place has it ALL, great service super inviting space and the staff were absolutely incredible. Walked right up to the bar and let the bartender it was my first time and he was more than happy to give any recommendations based on what we liked and didn't like. We ended up getting the PUNK IPA and the Elvis Juice which were both incredibly delicious. For food, we just did appetizers. Pictured we have the HUGE pretzel with mustard and beer cheese along with the buffalo chicken fries. Both were incredible. Overall the experience was so inviting, and so incredible and I will be back. I noticed they had a ton of specials to offer throughout the week both food and drink specials. WOULD recommend.

Since we quit drinking, BrewDog became a destination we wanted to try. As soon as the upstairs deck was opened, we headed up. It's a nice outdoor area. We ordered something to eat and had a few NA beers. I fell in love with Tornado Joe, a coffee flavored brew. Apparently it was not selling well. Because I loved it and ordered several while we were there, they ended up charging for fewer than I drank. They also let me take what they had leftover, no charge. They really wanted to get rid of them. Lucky me! I had a salad with chicken added. It wasn't extraordinary, but it was good. We enjoyed the ambiance upstairs and the beer and look forward to returning with friends when the weather gets better.

The service and amazing beer really made our trip to Cincinnati! We wandered in and sat at the bar and immediately started to quiz our beertender about the entire beer list. He had epic recommendations based on our preferences (fruity & sour for him, bitter IPAs for me). We mentioned our plans to check out a few other breweries that afternoon and our beertender gave us some fantastic advice about how to get there (secret back doors and alleyways) and what to try when we arrived. They have a great, lofted, adult play area with bar games. Even at lunchtime there were groups of people playing and having a blast. We were laughing so hard about some of the overheard comments, like the guy coming out of the bathroom and announcing to his friends, "five stars, would poop here again". This place is so much fun. We will definitely be back when in town!

Great service!!! The waitresses are very friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable about the beers. The ambiance is also great! I love the open big space but also give a nice intimate vibe. The food was good! I didn't expect it to be restaurant level. Quick wings, fries.... Great space to hang out with friends. Deff coming back to try the Beer Class.

The service was friendly but missed the mark with the food a bit. It was very spacious inside so it would be great for larger groups and there's an area upstairs to play games with your friends. We ordered the sweet potato fries (which were delicious but came with no dip or ketchup or anything), a beer pretzel (which did not come with beer cheese or the mustard and we had to ask for it...and then got charged. The beer cheese also came out looking like it had been sitting out for hours), a side of brussel sprouts (very good), and cauliflower wings (very good). My friends had house salads which they enjoyed. And we had some wine which was tasty!

Awesome spot if you also have kiddos. And who doesn't love bringing their kiddos to a brewery with great vibes. This place is huge considering their neighbors in over the Rhine barely have enough room for large parties over four people. I picked out this place due to the fact we had 10 people plus some kids and it has an upstairs game room, which is awesome. Bonus points for the free photos in the photo booth. The food was good I tried some of the pizza, the white pizza was kind of dry but the chicken sandwich was excellent and the hot pretzel was so good we ordered a second one. You can tell the Pretzel was homemade as it was so fluffy and delicious. I don't know what I was thinking ordering a mixed cocktail at a brewery, it was okay but I should have just got beers and tried the local stuff. Overall I would definitely recommend this place for large gatherings. I was running around with my kids that I didn't take photos of the foods.

Update: we've tried BrewDog three times now and the food service continues to disappoint. Our veggie sampler was once again cold and lack luster. We were there in a Wednesday night with not a few people so their kitchen should not have been overwhelmed. We also had to send back the vegan chicken sandwich when they brought out a regular fried chicken to our VERY vegetarian daughter. Third time was not a charm and I don't think we'll be back.

What a very cool place great to hangout. Drinks are on point! Huge bar and service.

Cauliflower wings
Meera K.

Great rooftop for summer time! Lots of vegetarian options as well and tasty beers. The vegan items are a bit overpriced so it's more worth it to eat n Mondays when it's 2 for 1 meatless Monday. We ordered the Nashville vegan chikn sandwich, sweet potato fries, and cauliflower wings. The food came out very fast.

Dog friendly bar with street level seating and a rooftop bar as well. We decided to head up to the rooftop to try a sample flight of beer and cider. Nice enough views of a few of the older downtown buildings but not of the river. We ordered food at the same time we ordered drinks at the walk up bar, and the food came quickly. We ordered a couple of tacos (the crispy chicken and the carnitas) plus the veggie stacker appetizer. In my opinion, the crispy chicken was the winner of the two - the crunch from the breading is what the carnitas was missing. The appetizer came with sweet potato fries, regular fries, buffalo cauliflower and Mexican street corn. Both fries were fantastic, with the right amount of salt and crisp to them - not oily at all. The cauliflower was a bit mushy on the inside but the buffalo sauce was good as was the dipping sauce. Plenty of on tap better and cider options for everyone. Doggo friendly staff and definitely a place we will bring visiting friends and family.

BrewDog has quickly become one of my family's go-to spots. We typically head there for lunch on Saturday or Sunday. My kids love the upstairs gaming area with ping-pong, pinball machines, and table games. We all enjoy the food and I love the Punk IPA. The giant soft pretzel is truly giant! It is served with beer cheese and coriander-turmeric aioli ($9.50). This is enough for our family to share, though my son usually ends up eating over half of it. Their pizza offerings are good and offer plenty to share. The buffalo chicken pizza is topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, red onion, applewood smoked bacon, crisp celery, blue cheese, bagel spice, and habanero ranch ($17). This was a really good buffalo chicken pizza, with a nice spice level. My wife absolutely loves the sweet potato burger made with quinoa and brown rice, topped with charred kale, coriander-turmeric aioli, caramelized onion, and swiss cheese ($15 with a side of fries). I have not tried it myself, but if you are into vegetarian items, I've heard this is top-notch! Their fried chicken sandwich is another tasty option. It's a breaded chicken thigh, andouille-pimento cheese, habanero ranch, romaine, hot mustard bbq, and house pickle ($16 with fries). I know it sounds like it might be spicy, but the spice is quite subtle. They do offer a buffalo chicken sandwich as well, for those who like to spice it up. I wasn't sure that I'd enjoy the chicken thigh instead of breast, but I actually didn't really notice the difference. The toppings of this sandwich were such a unique combination of flavors. The food menu is actually pretty large at BrewDog and there is something for everyone. I forgot to mention that there is a kids' menu with a "hoppy meal" featuring a burger or nuggets, side, drink, and dessert ($8). They also have a wide variety of beer on draft, with cider, non-alcoholic beer, and a full bar all available. We will be back again soon!

Great place to grab a variety of beers . Hazy Jane and Elvis Juice are great fruity IPAs. Service is always good here. Parking on the street is metered.

This place is great. Tons of space (3 levels!) so it's awesome for a group or just popping in with friends. Surprisingly never too crowded and the rooftop is a big plus, along with the 2nd level game floor. Great variation on tap and they also have NA options, as well as great apps and food choices. Some of the best beers at any of the breweries in the city we've been to. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommend!

Absolutely disappointed, an almost 6$ taco on a 4 inch tortilla with a table spoon full of meat on it. Mediocre, memorable for the bad food.

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.

It's got a huge inside with long tables and a large bar, plenty of space for large groups. Outside is even bigger, with plenty of tables of all sizes for any group. We sat outside to hear the trivia better and enjoy the pleasant evening. You order your drinks at the bar and your food through a QR code on the table you're sitting at. 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.

We had hoped for food, but the business that does food in the building is another company and they were out for spring break. So sad. ;-) The brewery has a nice vibe to it. 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.
