In town with my brother in-law and a friend doing brewery visits. We stopped at March First and had a great visit Our Beer-tender was Lauren and she was polite, knowledgeable, professional and just overall - FANTASTIC Beers were very good; my favorites were the Sea foam, pb stout & Uncle Buck. Food was good; I had the dry rubbed wings. The space is huge with a couple of private rooms and bar space. This brewery is definitely worthy of future visits. ***** read more

Great space with areas for private parties. Everything appeared to be neat and clean. There are plenty of tables to spread out, there's also a patio area for warmer months. A small arcade area as well. Parking lot with overflow parking across the way. I had the bacon, chicken, ranch pizza and a cocktail, both were good. The bartenders were nice and had great suggestions. You are given a buzzer to pick up ypu food when it's finished and the kitchen guy came out to make sure everything was good with our food.It was a pretty good spot with way more options than just beer read more

We had the hot honey pepperoni pizza which is the pizza flavor of the month. It was very good although not spicy like we thought. The atmosphere is great as there is space for so many people yet the parking spaces are extremely limited. The service was fast and the kitchen was easy enough to get to. Overall a great experience at a brewing company where people are confident to bring their children. read more

A solid place to grab a beer and eat some pizza. The bar is huge with wide open spaces for seating. Plenty of TV's. There's an arcade to entertain those looking for some electronic fun. The pizza is good but nothing really special about it. I had the Sultan of Swat ipa and it had a well-balanced flavor with a light carbonation and gorgeous color. Their high rye bourbon is one of my favorites and I was excited to grab a bottle! read more

I visited for the first time with my husband, a beer-lover, over the weekend & we were both surprised the place wasn't busier. It is a nice, casual space that is nicely kept & the service was excellent. I am, admittedly, not a beer-lover (I know, I am ashamed of myself every time I have to order a pricey cocktail). A beverage on their cocktail list caught my eye, but they were unfortunately out of it. They also didn't have the ingredients for another drink, so I ordered a Coke. The servers were both adamant on making sure I got a beverage I was happy with & they delivered! I tried the cider beer on tap & found myself actually enjoying sipping on a beer. That's impressive. My husband was also very happy with his beer, but that is not as shocking We also ordered the Corn Dip (bright corn, cilantro, cotija, jalepeño, & Tajin with tortilla chips). My husband loves corn but is iffy about cold apps, but he still mostly enjoyed it. I very much enjoyed it & would eat again. I recommend coming in, cozying up to the bar, & if you're having trouble making a beverage selection, talking to any of the helpful people they have on staff. They also have a lovely patio area, but it was way too hot for all that. read more

March First Brewing - The bar - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Man, I really loved this place. The beers are fantastic, the food is great, and the staff is really kind, except for one female bartender. One bad apple really does spoil the bunch, and this bartender has completely soured my experience at what was otherwise a great brewery. After two recent visits, I'm seriously considering not coming back because of her hostile attitude. Both times she took my order, and the second I stepped up to the bar, she shot me a dirty look. The first time, I thought maybe she was having a bad day. The second time, I knew it was intentional. March First has a great selection of beers, and I love trying before committing to a full pint. I've always asked for samples and never had an issue until this bartender. She got visibly annoyed and proceeded to glare at me, roll her eyes and shake her head. For a grown adult to act so disrespectful for no reason was honestly unsettling. I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment, but it's incredibly frustrating. I'm sorry if I don't look like your usual crowd, but as a regular, I shouldn't have to put up with this kind of animosity. The idea of dealing with her again is enough to make me not want to come back. I used to recommend this place to friends, but I can't do that anymore. As long as she's working there and continues to treat people like this, I won't be back. It's a shame because the place is great, but clearly, I'm not welcome. I can't support a business that lets staff make certain people feel less than because of their skin color, gender, appearance, or whatever reason she decided to judge me for. I'm here for a drink and a meal, not to be treated like trash. read more

Met a friend here that I haven't seen in months. Both our first time being there. We only had one drink. The bartenders weren't really polite or friendly. Specifically one bartender. Not sure I'll ever come again to hang out inside. Maybe just grab a 6-pack and go. read more

We stopped in on a Sunday and were surprised that it wasn't busy at all. Usually when we drive by, there are people on the patio and whatnot. The high temps today probably are dampening people's want to be outside... anyhow the inside space is nice. The beers were good; I had a juicy IPA and my wife had one of the cider boys strawberry magic ciders and really enjoyed it. What prompted me to review this was the awesome staff. The drink my wife initially ordered was missing one ingredient, and the two bartenders were so incredibly accommodating. They could see my wife was a little disappointed and they were trying really hard to offer anything they could to make up for the missing ingredient. My wife and I were both very happy with the awesome customer service. read more

Our company reserved their party room for approximately 50 people, and the space would've allowed for much more. In addition to the private bar and high top tables, we also had couch seating and an open door to the patio. Our bartenders were friendly and kept the line moving, even with my special requests for ingredients needed at the main bar. Our orders of salads and pizzas were brought out quickly (we cleared the pans!), and requests for dietary restrictions were accommodated and brought to those needing them. Restrooms were conveniently located near our group area. Parking was a bit tricky. The main parking lot was small and additional parking was across the street. It was a bit unsafe not being near a crosswalk or light - cars drive fast here. The crowd was busy on. Wednesday night in the main area, so it seems to be a popular destination. I'd definitely visit again and recommend them for group gatherings. read more

My friend typically loves this place and walking in for the first time it looks really cool set up! I ordered a bourbon banana bread cider which was actually delicious. However, they are known for an orange cream beer and they were out of that which was really disappointing. It is a best seller so shocked they were out because I wanted to try it (and apparently they run out a lot). The vibe overall was cool until the band started playing just because it was SO loud. It was good music and like that they had live music but it just wasn't a relaxing or normal volume for a bar when people are trying to talk at their tables. So we only stayed for one drink when we were planning to spend longer time there. I would definitely go back though still to try it again. read more

Sad as we pulled up and the first thing we noticed it wasn't crowded at all and the American flag was not at half staff out of respect and as requested by our president for the murder of Charlie Kirk. We sat at the bar and did nothing but wait, wait and wait..... we left and will not give them another chance. We went to a packed chicken joint a block away and got super service and great food. read more

Wonderful place, easily accommodated our large party of a baseball team plus parents. The drinks were top notch (I had three different custom mixed drinks and sampled my husband's beer flight -all delicious) and the pizzas were great. The bartenders were very friendly but I'm told the kitchen staff were rude... however I didn't interact with them so my experience was awesome. Plenty to do for all ages; we brought my 17 month old and he loved the jenga blocks while we enjoyed a fun adult evening. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for tasty drinks and good food! read more

We had such a fun time here - the beer was really good, and the apps were fantastic. I enjoyed a flight, and my wife had a Cabernet. We both left having a great time! Only thing I'd change was the wait to place an order. They were either short-staffed, or the folks in front of us didn't know what they wanted. Maybe a speed line for those of us with limited patience would be a welcome change? :) Hey, the beer was cold, and it tasted great. The apps were spot on, and (I'm told) the wine didn't disappoint.

March First is a nice brewery. It's an open, spacious location with high ceilings. Plenty of seating - high top and low top tables. I got the Ponderous Porter and Vanilla Brown Ale. Both were quite good, but I liked the Brown Ale slightly better. The pizza was par for a brewery. It was decent. They have live music on Tuesday night's from 6:00-9:00, so be ready for a loud environment on Tuesdays. read more

One of the female bartenders with a black and red hoodie and French braided hair, was not customer friendly. She was a bitch for several different people in our group and other patrons of the establishment. It wasn't busy but yes it was loud with the guests talking. She was clearly annoyed and didn't like being at her job. We enjoy coming here for the atmosphere and drinks but her service was a turn off. read more

The drinks and food were good but the parking lot was full. I did not read about where to park until the next day. I headed to the nearest parking lot which was the Zicka lot next door. There were signs that said parking for zicka only. Since it was at night and they were closed I thought it would be ok to park there. My bad-car was towed. I called Zicka this morning and asked why they won't let their lot be used at night. The woman who answered the phone said that beer customers mess up their lot. Ok then she said 3 times "you were warned ". I said she sounded kind of nasty and she said "I don't give 2 shits-Fuck off" and hung up. End of review read more

Food - I wouldn't choose this place to go to enjoy a meal. We ordered the pizza and the Nachos. I will say the pizza was good. The nachos on the other hand so so disappointing.

experience that left much to be desired. While the ambiance was pleasant enough and the service was satisfactory, the same cannot be said for the quality of their offerings. Let's start with the beer selection. Despite boasting a variety of brews, none stood out as exceptional. As for the food, it was equally underwhelming. While not terrible by any means, the dishes lacked creativity and were reminiscent of what you might find at a chain restaurant. The prices, however, did not reflect the mediocre quality read more

Love this! I tried it at an event at Duke Energy. My fave! I was able to try most of the seltzers & the beers and all were very good. I personally loved the Orange Vanilla, but I'm a beer kinda gal.

First visit on a Saturday night, can't believe it's taken me so long to get over here! I've always heard good things about it and seems like they're true. Large taproom with outdoor seating available. There's also a separate cocktail bar on the side, as well as a vodka and a whiskey party/tasting room?? I should've asked what that was about because it looked interesting. Plenty of variety on tap, and the menu is so easy to navigate from light-hoppy-malty-dark beer and finally to ciders and seltzers, which they have plenty of! We didn't spend much time here as part of a brew tour but I was definitely impressed and will be back! Also bummed I forgot to use my Yelp checking bonus of free koozie with purchase but I'll get it next time read more

I was in town in Blue Ash for a night and this was recommended by a local to me and am I glad for the recommendation!! The selection of beer was excellent. The two beers I had (HighPoint IPA and blood orange Iso-Trope) were excellent.

I love walking up to the bar to order and then getting a text when my food is ready to be picked up. It was the perfect place to watch some March madness and I would definitely come back if I was in the area! read more

March first brings together everything you could ask for in a brewery. Delicious food. Range of tasty beers. Interesting seltzer's and a family atmosphere.( the night we visited they had their semi annual fundraiser for the local fire department) The OG brewery/ distillery is huge! Plenty of seating for everyone, outdoor space, and even a conference room for those offsite workdays. Food selection includes pizzas, sandwiches and bar snacks. At first I was hesitant as they seem standard but I was WRONG! Pizza is made to order and the crust was tender and delicious! Honestly I would come check out the food alone! Now for the drinks. They have their beer and selection of seltzer's on tap. On top of that they have made in house vodkas and schnapps. Pro tip: order their chocolate stout and add a shot of peppermint schnapps you won't regret it. Now at first I was confused that they have fig leaf and woodburn beers on top but no worries March first has recently purchased both breweries and are supporting them at their main location! Overall if I could give March first more stars I would! It's a must stop place! Order the food and drink all the drinks! read more

Parking...that's why it's a 3. If parking were better, this would be a 4. Let me digress. My understanding is that March First petitioned the areas city govt to expand their parking lot and were declined. That is a shame. The legit parking lot can probably support 1/3 to 1/2 of the population that can fit in the brewpubs' decently large seating space. Everyone else has to park across a 5 Lane street (no crosswalk or light) or park down the street in other businesses parking lots. Also, to get to the remote parking lots, there are zero lights, so a walk back to your car is pitch black. These are not ideal conditions. This also creates a parking lot of lurking cars, so even the legit parking has an over crowded field as people pleasantly stalk for an available spot. Now let me cover the numerous positives. The beer is good, the food is good, the space is open and we'll lit, they have outdoor seating when the weather is nice, the bar tenders have always been nice, their are many TV's showing sports, the bathrooms are top notch, they have some private spaces that can be reserved, the food comes out quick and fresh, and there are a myriad of bar games that can be played. Those are definitely a lot of positives and they do make for a very positive experience once you've made it from the parking lot de jour. So why not at least a 4 dude? The beer is very good, but the selection of "beer" is limited in favor of many fruffy fruit ales, ciders, porters, and specialty brews. I give them props for producing all these cool specialty drinks and if that is your vibe you will be in heaven. So there is no questioning their mad skills at brewing. For me, I would like to see a broader list of IPA, Ales, and Lagers. I had the Octoberfest and it was very good, but that is about the only one I can get. Will I go back? Absolutely. This is in my normal rotation, and generally has a broader and better selection of food that Fretboard or MPH, so is more of a place I go when my group of friends prioritize eating. If I just want to grab a beer, I'll go to the others. read more

March First Brewing - Patio - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I am not sure what I thought this brewery was, but it was so much bigger and more impressive than I had expected! Tucked away in a mostly industrial area in a corridor that is almost Blue ash, Cincinnati, or Mason, this is a pretty large place! The parking lot is not big enough for even moderately busy times, but a sign said something about overflow parking, maybe across the street. When you walk in you are greeted by a very unique horse sculpture, which apparently was accosted one to many times indicated by the barricade and sign that says "please do not mount the horse" haha. Walk through another set of doors and you are in a very large room that is brightly lit with many seating options. There are board games, air hockey, Foosball, and TVs for your enjoyment. The bar is large and has nice digital signs with their many options. Now don't let the name deceive you, this is not just beer! They also make their own hard cider, hard seltzer, and spirits! The bartender let us sample a few things and I settled on the Orange cream beer which was light and refreshing. My friend had the Aglamesis raspberry cider which I tasted and also liked. Please also take note of their beer cocktail menu, which we wished we had seen before already ordering our pints! There is a ton of bar seating, high tables, low tables, and a huge outdoor patio. There is an in house pizza option for food. The menu choices looked great if we hadn't just had pizza elsewhere! I really liked the casual atmosphere here! read more

Great beers, spirits, and atmosphere. Not so great food. The first couple of times we went here, pre-COVID19, it was a lot better. Obviously they were able to pack the people in, but the service was better and more friendly. We popped in this winter to check it out again and were a bit disappointed. If you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy a couple drinks with friends, this is the decent spot. When the weather is nice, they open the garage doors and you can enjoy the patio as well (although it's right on the road so you're not there for views). But in a COVID world, it's a bit more complicated and not as well managed. To start, parking is pretty tight (always has been an issue). Their lot is rather small, but they have arrangements with businesses in adjacent lots that you can park in. So, problem solved! When we were there this winter, I was a little surprised that there was no enforcement of crowds. They had signs posted with capacity limits (lowered I am guessing for COVID) but zero enforcement of it - there were way more people there than the count was set to. Everyone still packed the line for the bar for their drinks and the line snakes between tables which makes distancing with total strangers impossible. You order drinks and food at the bar and then grab a table. The beer is EXCELLENT. In fact, the quality of the beer is one of the huge reasons I still really like this place and would give it a 4. But the food and lack of enforcement of protocols left it at 3. The other reason I still like this spot is that they offer more than just beer. Breweries are great, but not everyone is into beer, so the bourbon and spirit offerings make it more palatable for groups of people to enjoy. I'm sure we'll go back, but probably will skip the food from now on. read more

Beer was great, food was great, venue is amazing; will be back! Service was great. Location is just a bit out of the way.

Attended a retirement gathering for a friend the evening of Wednesday, October 23. The parking lot was completely full, so I pulled into an immediately adjacent parking lot (photo below of entrance) which was almost empty except for a handful of cars near March First. I parked next to them, and entered the restaurant. When I came out two hours later, at least one of the other cars was still there (it was actually the retiree's), but my car was gone! I was completely shocked that my car had been stolen because it was an old Honda Fit with over 150,000 miles on it. As I prepared to call the police, I saw someone in one of the nearby offices and knocked on the door. He told me that he had seen a tow truck removing the car an hour and a half earlier. I walked around the perimeter of the lot, and then saw a sign near the entrance I had used that stated "Northlake Commons Customer Parking Only", and listed the phone number for a towing company. The towing company confirmed that they had taken my car, provided an address almost 10 miles away, and told me I had about 90 minutes before they closed to pay $156 (tow and storage fees) to reclaim my car. I reentered March First to ask them why this happened, and they told me that "usually they give us a call before they tow cars away." So it was obvious that this was a known and repeated problem, but March First had taken no efforts to warn customers that this might happen. I was fortunate to procure an Uber (another $15) and retrieve my vehicle before the deadline so that I could get home to Dayton that night. The towing company insisted that they had called March First three times that night, but that nobody answered. I called both Northlake Commons and March First the next day. The Northlake Commons representative stated that they had offered parking services to March First, but had been turned down, so they decided to start towing. March First never returned my call. Technically and legally, I realize that this issue was my fault because I did not notice the small warning sign by the entrance of the parking lot. However, I do feel somewhat victimized to have been stranded in the late evening out of town without a car, all because of an unresolved feud between March First and their next-door neighbor. March First should either procure additional parking, or clearly post warning signs (or answer their phones) to avoid putting their customers in an expensive and potentially dangerous situation. read more
