    Beer me!
    Steve S.

    What a great place. Tons of beer on tap to choose from! We had a pale ale from Lock 27 - great beer! We also had a charcuterie board with herb goat cheese, manchego cheese, nice olives, pepperoni, fig jam, 4 kinds of crackers, prosciutto ham and stone ground mustard. It was all great! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

    September 20, 2020 Finally a brewery in Tipp City! This place is across from Harrison's on 2nd Street situated in the historic part of Tipp in the Chaffee's Opera House building from 1867. Their mission is to provide patrons with craft beer, cocktails, wine, and mocktails in an inviting and completely renovated space, which they managed to do. This isn't a large pub so it won't accommodate large parties but if you want to take yourself and a few friends, this makes a great spot to soak in the history at a bar which is built with wood sourced directly from a family farm. The large caulk board has the list of drinks. There is also a paper menu of the draft list. According to their website this pub "...combines Lisa's love of mixology and wine with Shawn's knowledge of beer and draft systems. As the owner of Miami Valley Draft Systems, Shawn meticulously designed and installed our 18 tap system. This system showcases 12 beers on tap with an emphasis on Ohio breweries. There will be four wines offered on tap, including two reds and two whites. The remaining two taps will be include a seltzer offering and a "mocktail" that can be served as is or can be used as mixers enhanced by our full bar of liquors - also with an emphasis on Ohio distilleries." Perhaps they will carry their own label at some point in the future but that isn't in the immediate plans. In the mean time enjoy a nice drink before dinner or lunch at this epic establishment.

    Location: 15 S Second Street, Tipp City Ohio Parking: free street parking and public parking lots within 1-2 blocks (easily walkable) Price: moderate Social distancing: good practices, clean and easy to maintain distance as long as it's not too crowded Specialty: drinks, limited food menu but really interesting charcuterie 'make your own board' option. Chaffees Brewhouse is a new business in downtown Tipp City offering a nice spot in the downtown area to enjoy a cocktail, wine, or one of a dozen draft selections. We stopped in on a Thursday night and enjoyed two beers each, which sounds easier than it is. The selection is a well-chosen variety of flavorful beers, ranging from IPA to stouts. Something (or 3-4 things) for everyone. With the help of a sample, we each chose our second round and enjoyed everything... makes me want to go back and try a few more, though. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, also effortlessly sanitizing the space in between clients. There are four distinct seating areas, including an outdoor patio accessed from the back interior door or the side alley. Nestled into a historic space, the newly renovated space is very charming and well-appointed. Seating is comfortable and spaced well.

    Quaint local bar with craft brews and cocktails. Small and cozy, locals were friendly and they use a lot of Ohio made spirits and brews.

    Seven Mile Winery in Middletown is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a great local winery…read moreexperience. The property is beautiful, with peaceful views that make it easy to unwind and spend a few hours with friends or family. The wine selection offers something for everyone, whether you prefer sweet wines or drier varieties. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions and offer recommendations. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual afternoon or a special outing. I especially enjoyed sitting outside, taking in the scenery, and sampling a few different wines. We sampled: My fiancée: -Apple Crisp -Ad Amare Vino -Bella Notte (blackberry) -Wild Crush (blueberry) -Petite Syrah -Pinot Grigio Me: -Strawberry Fields -Veteran Red -Petite Syrah -Terzetto -Pinot Grigio -Chardonnay Both me and my fiancée's favorite is the Terzetto. Loved it so much we ordered a glass. If you're looking for a charming local winery with excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and quality wines, Seven Mile Winery is definitely worth a visit. I look forward to coming back again.

Love the super laid back feel of the barn inside and outside. The server was very friendly and welcoming too. Most of the wines here are on the sweeter side but they do offer a few dry wines too. We opted for a couple flights of six wines too try. Here's what we had: Me: -Apple Crisp -Ad Amare Vino -Bella Notte (blackberry) -Wild Crush (blueberry) -Petite Syrah -Pinot Grigio My fiancee: -Strawberry Fields -Veteran Red -Petite Syrah -Terzetto -Pinot Grigio -Chardonnay I was pleasantly surprised by some of the sweeter wines even though I'm more of a dry wine fan. Their Petite Syrah and Terzetto (Cabernet Sauvignon, merlot, Sangiovese blend) were my top two dry wines. Overall, pretty solid place, and one I could see visiting again.

    A true diamond in the rough...this wine bar and eatery is located in one of the ancient former…read moreindustrial buildings of the Depot District. But don't hesitate to get in here, just watch your step a bit. It's dim and romantic with a retro vibe. We ate at the bar which always tends to give a good feel for a new place. There were two barmaids who came and went as they had to serve tables too, but service was quite attentive. We were primarily served by Melissa (I hope I remembered her name right!) and she was so helpful with answering questions. We happened to come on the half price app day** so naturally we tried the Breaking Bread... incredible, easily sufficient for four people to share. It was warm, soft, cheesy and full of flavor. The marinara was delicious as was the blended cheese dip. We took half home and enjoyed it the next day. My husband had the smoked salmon sandwich. It was beautiful to behold, smelled so delectable, and off the charts delicious. After I took a bite I was jealous. I did thoroughly enjoy my BLT+E with a wonderful runny egg and thick fresh tomato. I think I would have liked it better on toasted bread vs. the bun. Everything on the menu sounded good. I had a peek at the brunch menu too. I had a cocktail called the Farm Market which was so refreshing and like a taste of summer which I needed badly on this bitter cold evening. They have a great cocktail list and of course an extensive wine list which is set up in unique categories and fun to read. My husband was happy with his wine. They also have port! Four kinds! Melissa kindly gave me a taste of one and I am SO coming back for a port flight. A word on accessibility- the main entrance has two steps up and there are sturdy grab bars on both sides but you do need to be a bit cautious at the bottom. I was told there is a rear or side entry that is wheelchair accessible. It was way too cold to explore but I'll check it out on our next visit in the very near future. If you're thinking of giving the Cork a try, don't hesitate. It's fabulous. **Yelp advises they are removing Tips (boo) so I'll note again here that apps are half price all night on Thursdays.

I think we spent $70 with a tip and that was for 3 people. No Alcohol. One soda and 3 entrees and an appetizer. Again, the food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. I posted pics of what we got. The shrimp po boy was probably the most disappointing. Don't get me wrong...loaded with shrimp but just your pre-made shrimp, fried and served. My Rasta pasta was really good. Plentiful and heat was just right. The little piece of bread tasted like it may have been a bit out of date. The jerk cheesesteak was good and good flavor. Fries were my favorite. Had a bit of the coating on them and crunchy and just really tasty. Appetizer of fried ochre was 10 out of 10. Portion size was generous and they came out smoking hot and tasted great. Dining room was a bit odd...like a 60's jazz bar. Music was loud for the amount of people there. We were seated by one person who told us they would be serving us and then another guy came and told us he would be taking care of us. Seems like it may be a "whoever gets to the table first and takes an order gets the table". It was an odd exchange when the girl who seated us came back only for us to say some guy already took our drink order. Unclear as to who was supposed to do what but that made things a little weird. I would be willing to go back but my wife wasn't impressed so I don't know as we will return. We wanted to try it as we had heard great things but now that we have, not sure we need to go back. Food wasn't awful, something just left an odd taste with us and our experience.
