The self‑pour setup makes…read morethe whole experience fun you can try a bunch of different beers without feeling rushed, and it's honestly way more enjoyable than a traditional bar. The place is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is just right every time we visit. Recently I tried another self‑pour bar in the Columbus area, and the experience just wasn't the same. Hops & Berry's system feels way more intuitive and fun to use. I think they use a company called Pourtek, and the interface is super clean and interactive. We actually live a few hours away, but whenever we're in Cincinnati, we make it a point to stop here. It's become one of those places we look forward to. Really wish they would expand into Columbus or Cleveland because we'd be there all the time.

Maybe it's because I'm old (about to turn 87), it was ridiculously loud. The level of loud where…read morethere is no possible way you are able to talk with the person directly next to you. We did stop by on a Saturday evening. But why go to a bar if you are only able to say "what??", "huh??". The service was fine. But you do serve yourself as it s one of those pour your own beer. So you are the bartender. For yourself. I don't know. It's been a trend for a while now. This type of spot must be fun and interesting for others. Just not for me.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon. It's really huge and has plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. They have a great selections os beers on tap, great food menu, beers to go and pet friendly. To order food, you give them your name and they text you when it's ready for pickup. We ordered: -Quesabeeria: three corn tortillas, beeria shredded beef, Oaxaca cheese, onion, cilantro, consume -Sonder smash burger: single beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, caramelized onions, You Betcha aioli, brioche bun -Basket of fries Beer: Lime Voss, Beer Garden west coast IPA, jalapeno lime & salt Voss, Jeff's Jam vol.11 (IPA w/ kiwi, habanero, and pumpkin spice), Cowboy Cookie Otto (tiramisu stout w/ coconut, pecans, cocoa, and vanilla), Barrel-aged Turtle Stout (barrel-aged stout w/ caramel, pecans, and chocolate) Hands down, the quesabeeria is my favorite! It's great to dip in the guac and the beeria sauce! The smash burger was amazing and their shoe string fries as great to dip on their signature sauce! I highly recommend you dine in for food! It's delicious! I absolutely love their beers! Especially their dessert stouts! So good! What a great experience! At the time, they had a small event when we were there. Book club which we looked around and got some good reads to take home. They have other small events. Just check out their website or follow on Instagram. We are definitely coming back! The beers and food were hands down one of the best!

There's a display showing four different estimated wait times. There are people placing orders at a kiosk. It wasn't clear that it was even possible to order food at the bar (but it was). The music was so loud that it was hard to even talk to the bar tender and place an order. In terms of the beer, I was fairly satisfied. The beer list included a number of "somewhat out there" fruit beers along side a smaller number of more traditional styles. That's fine. I had an IPA, and it was generally good. Kind of in the midwestern style with some caramel malt. In terms of the food, I really just ordered a salad. It was good. It was nice to have the option to order a substantial salad and feel like it was a meal. In terms of service, it seemed like everything behind the bar was hectic. There were several different people, but it wasn't clear who was responsible for taking my order or closing my tab. It was just hard to get anyone's attention. All told, this was fine. And even fun. Despite the noise, the live music was good. My only real complaint is that it seemed difficult to navigate the ordering process.

If you are in Maineville/Kings Mills area -- or just like in breweries in interesting locations, check it out! We were seated after a short wait by the brewmaster, who also helped us select our beer. Amber ale for me and an IPA for husband. Our server was friendly and prompt, and the food came out quickly. It was pretty busy, being trivia night, but the staff seemed to have a handle on things! We ordered the Brussels and potato appetizer and it was great. It was large and honestly could almost have been dinner for us -- certainly could easily be shared by 4! We cleared the plate on our own though. I had the salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries. Very good, though I was so full from the appetizer so I just ate the salmon from the sandwich, and maybe 1/4 of the fries. Hubs got the burger with an egg on top either regular fries. He was happy with his choice. The brewery itself is very cool -- old brick factory, large wall-to-wall windows, super tall ceilings. We sat at a high top in the bar area which is quite large, though there is dining area. I think the bar area is more interesting looking though. The factory building (now loft apartments), the smoke stack, and the tower, all red brick, are striking looking. It's great the preserved this WWI / WWII era place. Lots of parking but was pretty full on Trivia night!

We had a pretty strange experience overall at Cartridge tonight, and I truly hate leaving low-star…read morereviews so I was looking for things to redeem the weirdness. Unfortunately something in the kitchen seemed off and the issues piled up. I have always had great experiences in the past, and truly want them to succeed so I am hopeful this was an "off" night and that they will adjust in no time! I will start with the positives: the building is gorgeous and worth the visit off the beaten path. You can bike right up to it- we typically do this. It's right off the bike trail and a great distance away from downtown Loveland for a nice ride. Beautiful restoration of the old space and cool branding. The menu honestly all sounds delicious on paper. The woman at the hostess stand was very friendly and all of the waitstaff seemed to be working overtime to stay afloat. No one was slacking, they were all spending an inordinate amount of time in the kitchen and still managing everything outside too so I commend them on their attitude and service. Though it was a little weird that no one acknowledged how poorly things were going, I can appreciate that they didn't snap back at the many folks who were short with them or respond in any way except positive, smiling, and understanding. Now for the rest of the visit. After being seated, our waitress took our order for apps and drinks, and explained the note on the menu that said "Tuesday-All day happy hour!". We ordered fried pickles and 2 drinks, a beer and a mocktail. She came back a few moments later and we put in an order for 2 burgers. The beer came out but the mocktail never did... this is when we started to see if anyone would return to our table and realized that they were not going to. We did not see the waitress who had initially helped us for over 30 minutes. It was near impossible to flag down another because they were rushing around and looked stressed. Another waitress finally brought out 2 burgers. We noted that there was no rush but we were still waiting on one drink and the app. She seemed confused but went to go check. We were hopeful all would be solved. She returned with the drink a while later, but said the fried pickles were being remade- they had been forgotten. I appreciated that they made us fresh ones, but still confused about what happened with both items never making it to us. Thought that would be the worst of it but it spiraled after that. The burgers were okay, but one came without any sauce. One had a small amount on the bottom bun and the other was dry. I thought I would just ask for a side of the thousand island it was meant to come with, but again- there was no way to get a server's attention. By this time, the table next to us was getting frusteated with their wait as well. When our appetizer was finally delivered, I tried to ask for a side of sauce, but the table next to us was so desperate to get their issues addressed that I couldn't get a word in. The burgers were fine, Iif a bit dry, but nothing to write home about. Which is a bummer because it happened to be their Cincy Burger Week special. The fried pickles were pretty good but we both commented we didn't want the whole dish because they were so coated with oil towards the bottom. By this time, we had been there for over an hour and were ready for the check. Notably, the table next to us received their food and both of their burgers were wrong from what they had ordered. :( There was also a beer dropped off to the table next to us but never addressed again. Our check never came... we just sat and sat. When it did come... my heart sank seeing it was inaccurate- none of the happy hour pricing on apps or drinks had been applied. We waited for the waitress to come back and collect the check, which she would have had to do even if the bill was correct. But she never came... we waited 18 minutes before my husband went to go interrupt her at the computer, which we felt bad doing but we were worried it would never be addressed and our toddler was getting antsy The bill was fixed and we asked her to stay until she could bring it back. Phew- finally done. Folks all around the taproom were noticing too and sharing our confusion/impatience. A woman came up and asked for her glass of wine to be cancelled because it had been so long. The beer next to us sat still unattended. The strangest part was that none of this was addressed- not an apology or explanation. I definitely would have empathized with the struggle if they would have explained they were short staffed we would have been totally understanding, but we felt a little like we were in the twilight zone. Really hoping Cartridge can get back to getting their orders out completely/ correctly, and organizing their staff so they can check in on their tables' needs without being tracked down across the room. I will come back, because it's such a neat place, and I believe this is not their norm. Will definitely update my review when I do!

It's on the bike trail which makes it very convenient and fun. Honestly, I've never heard of it but when we stopped, I was amazed with the location and feel to this place. Very outdoorsy and family oriented. You pull up and see a barn and a beautiful backyard. Feels like you at home. We had to check out the food menu! They have appetizers, salads, wings, sandwiches, and burgers. Your basic pub and grub. They have a really great craft beer selection. Especially on tap. We ordered: -2 Hazy Pale Ale 2026 Collab -BLT-A: Apple wood smoked bacon, Lettuce, tomatoes, avocado spread, served with marble rye bread They were slammed when we got there for lunch. But we still managed to get our food right away and it was delicious! The fries were coated and had great flavor and loved our sandwich. The avocado spread was fresh. Savannah our beertender was our server and she was kicking some major ass at the bar handling the bar and long lines by herself. Definitely on point and wish all bartenders were as attentive as she was. This was a really great experience and I can't wait to come back when we ride out on our bikes again. This is worth the trip.

The beer is definitely the star here, but the craft slushies and margaritas on tap are a fun bonus, and there's a solid lineup of wine and prosecco with a solid line of spirits.

It's perfectly located next to Mason Sports Park and right at the trailhead leading to Loveland, making it an ideal stop for walkers, cyclists, and anyone spending the day outdoors. Yoga on Saturday mornings is a fun way to kick off the weekend--follow it up with a mimosa when the taproom opens at 11 AM! We've also come for Euchre on Monday nights--super fun, low-key competitive, and yes, there are prizes! Food trucks rotate regularly, so check their Facebook page to see what's cooking.
