We had a great dinner at Moerlein. Reservations were easy to make online and we were seated right away. Our food was great. The kids meals weren't super saucy, but that's my preference when we are eating out. I had the wedge, fresh and plenty of bacon, and the spicy corn chowder, which is not spicy but is very good. My husband's steak frites were also excellent. The traditional Bavarian pretzel came out as a normal, not giant pretzel. Our server was excellent though and apologized and made it right. We don't come here often but will definitely be back read more

We visited the Moerlein Lager House restaurant while spending the day at the Christkindl Market in Cincinnati--it's conveniently located right next to the restaurant. What a fantastic find! The décor is stunning--rustic yet contemporary--and the whole place is spotless. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the soup and salad, and both were absolutely delicious. My grandkids ordered from the kids' menu (cheeseburger and chicken tenders), and they loved their meals. My husband had a BLT and was raving about it for hours--and even days--afterward! This spot is a must-visit when you're in Cincinnati. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and very accommodating staff. Highly recommend! read more

My parents love to come here so it was only right. We visited after a MLK walk downtown. The lunch special is a great deal. I really enjoyed the meatloaf, but the size of the salad is honestly insane. I cleared half my plate before I remembered to snap a picture, but I honestly could've ordered some protein, a salad and called it a day. It was delicious too. The staff was very nice and I always love the view of the Ohio river you get here. read more

My wife and I were in Cincinnati for a long weekend and we decided to hit up a Reds game. Afterwards, we decided to try this brewpub, since I love craft beer. It is a large place with lots of tables and we were seated on the outside patio on a perfect day. I ordered a 22 oz IPA and it was great and came in a really cool mug. Our server was great and we actually chatted with her for about 5 minutes and she was super nice. I ordered a creamsicle beer that was really tasty as well and I got the Greek salad for some food, which was huge and was just fantastic. Lots of feta and olives and one of the best I have had. Most of the dishes we saw could easily be shared and all looked good, I should have ordered the fried pickles, looking back. A total must try and walking distance to the stadium. read more

Visited Moerlien for a birthday brunch and I was quite impressed. It's not typically the first place you hear mentioned when it comes to brunch but they should definitely be on the list! We had a party of almost 20 people which I know can be chaos at times but our server Justin executed flawlessly! He was playful, attentive, and even offered to be our DJ lol! Now to the food, it was all so delicious and not a single person had a complaint. I tried the buffalo chicken wrap which I loved however I've had way better Brussel sprouts at other locations in the city. My friend got the chorizo omelette and said it was very good. The bison eggrolls are no longer on the menu but they were able to make them and wow I'm glad I got the chance to try it because they were phenomenal and should be added back!! Lastly, they have mimosa flights and pitchers if you are looking for those options. This place is great for large parties, families, or friend outings. I will return! read more

Located next to Great American Ballpark in the Banks area on the Ohio river. This location has a really good kitchen. The staff is very attentive. We attended a bourbon food pairing event hosted by Cincinnati's own ambassador of fine spirits and local history, Molly Wellmann. Her events are known for being very informative and very well presented by Molly. The food was well prepared and well matched with selected bourbons. A great event as are all of Molly's' events. Lager house is a great place to bring out of town guests and look out on the river. Stop in their new bourbon bar located just off the lobby.....and look for the spot in the lobby where 1st base was located in old Riverfront stadium. Parking on the street or nearby garages. read more

Stopped by before going to the Reds game. SOLID big chain-vibe restaurant. Service was actually really quick with how busy they were on game day to be honest so kudos to the manager for making sure they were adequately staffed. I would compare it to like a BJ's Brewhouse. Lots of items on the menu and everything we got was solid. Even the kids menu was a hit. read more

It has been seven years later since my last review and Moerlein Lager House is still going strong. If you're in the Banks and looking for a good lunch or dinner, this is the place to come. They also have weekend brunch, which I went to for the first time this weekend. When you are upstairs, you have a great view of the park and the river. It happened to be a snowy day, so it felt like we were in a winter wonderland. It was quite busy, but our waitress did the best she could with making sure that we had everything we needed. I ordered the Moer Biscuit Stack, and it was pretty good, except that the eggs were overcooked. This is a staple restaurant of the Banks, and I hope it stays for many years to come. read more

It's a girls night out downtown Cinci before the 4 Divas concert. 6 of us. We made a reservation for 5:30 and got seated right away. My friend had a scooter land I stayed with her to go on the elevator for the second floor where we sat with a gorgeous view of the bridge. Drinks were prompt, One friend got a lemon drop and said it was good. I ordered fried pickles for an appetizer and they were the bomb! I got a Reuben with fries and it was delicious. Exactly how you would expect a Reuben to taste. We all loved our food. The blackened .chicken Southwest salad looked delicious as well as the Greek salad. Another friend got the chicken caprese pesto sandwich. She said it was a little dry but our waiter was so attentive he brought out a couple things for her: mayo and a pesto type sauce. That sauce was so good and she loved her sandwhich. I will be back with my hubby. This place is a gem on the river. read more

Our family stopped here while in town for a baseball game. Very convenient as it's right by the ball diamond. We ordered the cheese steak sandwich, buffalo chicken wrap (minus the buffalo sauce), BLT and chicken salad sandwich. We were all very happy with our choices, we all finished our meals!! My son and I subbed the French fries for brussel sprouts, these were not our favorite we've had, you can tell they'd been sitting awhile, soggy and not hot. My husband really liked the garlic Parmesan fries. The only negative about our meal was that we sat in the 4 seasons room and it was very hot and stuffy in there. Made for a long meal. read more

We have about an hour drive to Cincinnati, so when we wanted to go for Cincy Burger Week, I did my research and decided Moerlein Lager House had the tastiest sounding choices. Most of the participating restaurants had one, or maybe two choices of burgers, but Moerlein had three and they all sounded delicious! My husband and I met our daughter and her boyfriend on a Saturday around 1pm. We got right in, it wasn't as full as we expected. We started with drinks and the chili cheese fries appetizer, which was very good. A few of us also got wedge salads, which was a nice contrast to the heavier part of our meals. Finally, we ordered what we came for, the burgers! We got one of each of their specialty burgers and asked for steak knives so we could split them 4 ways. Our server suggested a few additions to them, a fried egg on the bacon glazed donut burger, and guac on the nacho burger and she was spot on--they were fantastic additions! We had been to Moerlein several times in the past and have always had good service and a great meal, but this might have been the best so far! Absolutely worth the drive! read more

We made reservations for Friday night, prior to FC Cincy game. As usual with reservations, we were taken right back to a table right away. Moerlein is bright and with ceiling to floor windows- you enjoy the river view from most any table. We ordered some appetizers- the fried pickles and the triple dip (guac, roasted corn salsa and pimento dip). Both were great. The batter on the fried pickles was crunchy. The triple dip honestly doesn't need the soft pita unless one of the dips was hummus. It really doesn't go with the other three. The chips were good. For dinner we had the bison meatloaf, squash Wellington with a side of garlic mash and a German sausage platter. The good: The German sausage platter was very flavorful. The garlic mash & the kraut were so good together. The not so good: The meatloaf slices were so dry. You will be able to see it in the picture. 100% sliced pieces left into the fridge then reheated. The garlic mash was good, the wilted spinach tasted sour. The bad: The squash Wellington. I love and I mean love Brussel sprouts. These were sour like the spinach- was so odd. The presentation was very nice but the HUGE let down was the "flakey crust". It was anything but. This tasted like it had been made, refrigerated & then reheated in the microwave. I cannot be convinced otherwise. The color was there, as if it had been at one time crisp, but it was gummy and tasted like leftovers in an open fridge. The highlight was the squash inside. Dessert: We decided to try the raspberry tiramisu. The look of it was sloppy and off putting- favor was tart and good. Dessert drinks: Two martinis. One Espresso and one grasshopper. The grasshopper was as expected- chocolate mint. The Espresso wasn't the typical strong, bold rich flavored type you expect. It was like a heavily sugared Starbucks drink and alcohol. Not bad but not what a typical espresso martini is. Service: She was amazing, very nice and she was super busy. We did see another a worker hurt herself- she went to clean a table and prior, a male server had placed a wet floor sign (after a spill was cleaned up) a little bit hidden by a chair. When she rounded the corner, it caused her to step on it which it slid and I think she turned her ankle or hurt her knee. We hope she is ok! read more

Food was terrible and cold .... Drinks was watered down and gross tasting... I wouldn't recommend anything from here ..

Donnie is the best server, his bartending skills are 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend you guys coming here whenever he's working. Also, the food is literally amazing. I had some type of like egg roll thing and it was great. read more

Servers were very friendly. They sat us next to a birthday party of about 20 people, including small children. When we asked to move they were very accommodating. Ask for a window seat to watch the river. Food is moderately priced. 2 floors with a bar on each & plenty of outdoor seating Park under the restaurant in a ramp. read more

After our tour of Great American Ballpark, we walked to the Moerlein Lager House for lunch. We had the bison meatloaf, the sausage platter and the smothered chicken. Very nice and roomy interior. There were very busy, maybe also a little understaffed. It took a while for our drinks to arrive and have our order taken. Once those two items were complete, our dinners came quickly. Everything was tasty. read more

Reached Moerlein Lager House at the midpoint of a really good long walk one recent weeknight. Arrived in time to sit at the bar and enjoy the last 30 minutes of happy hour. My husband and I split a generous plate of BBQ chicken nachos that satisfied our munchies and we each enjoyed a good Moerlein draft for $5. Our server was very attentive, and the bar was nice and buzzy. read more

The views cannot be beat and the service was great. The food is pretty standard pub fare. I got the beer batter fried fish. The coating is delicious but it wasn't hot and crisp when it came. It had sat for a while. The part fries, ditto. Not hot and fresh. Portions are large. Wish my husband and I had split a dinner. We enjoyed the Christkindlmarkt. read more

Spacious restaurant overlooking the Ohio River. Great location downtown across from the Reds stadium. Service was fast. I got the fish and chips and huge portions for the price. Really great prices overall. I've spent at least $25 on meals like that and here it was only $17ish. Tried the red bull mocktail. Tart but I expected it to be. Fried pickles were amazing. read more

Met a friend for lunch on a weekday. She is local and had eaten here a few times and liked the food. We started with the big pretzel which was delicious! So soft inside. Perfect for sharing too!

Would eat here again. read more

My son passed four years ago and we were looking for somewhere new to eat on the river to sort of mark the day and give me something to do. We choose Moerlein. There was a little confusion as we had originally made a reservation for Monday and were then told they were closed Monday and then that they weren't and figured out they were when our reservation was cancelled. We readjusted and came on Sunday. I wish there had been clearer directions on where parking was located but if you keep going past the restaurant there's a garage on the right. It was not busy at all on a Sunday and we probably didn't need the reservation. The pretzel was delicious and I liked both the beer cheese and the mustard. A couple of us at the table did the pick 3 and got a drink, soup or salad, and an entree. The salad was a good size and was very good. I asked the server if she preferred the bratwurst over the smothered chicken and she said the chicken so I got that with no mushrooms. The chicken was delicious. The mashed potatoes and green beans needed some additional seasoning but were overall good. We ordered a side of angry Mac and cheese just to try and it was ANGRY. Very spicy but still very good. It has pieces of sausage in it. We got a table by the window with a view of the bridge right at sunset. It was overall a nice experience. There was some things we had wanted to try on the menu online that they did not have on the menu at the restaurant read more

First of all they say 5 ounce tasting sample but the cups are 5 ounce they are not filling up to top so they were really only 4 ounce. Second they say you get a water or Pepsi between tastings. That means we could have 9 "in between" we asked the guy giving out water soda if we could take them home and he said yes. They called the police on us and they threatened to arrest us because we had unopened drinks. read more

The work crew decided to get together and try the Moerlin. It's in an excellent location near the water and ballpark. The service was pretty good but the food was just ok. I ordered the BBQ pork butt and sausage sandwich. The sauce was great as was the pulled pork, but the sausage felt and tasted like a hot dog. Not exactly what I expected. The rest of the crew had various meals and had a similar experience. Everybody raced about the beer though. Probably would only come here for drinks. The decor inside was awesome and made it feel unique. read more

We stubbled up to this place while walking around the OH river, and so glad we did. Spacious restaurant with comfortable large windows all around. Bright ambiance and friendly service. Truly enjoyed the beer flight, Moerlein beer tasted great, and I got to try local brews. We have a full slab of ribs with fries, the ribs were easily taken off bones and supper yummy; fries were very well seasoned and delicious. We also tried the onion rings after recommended by the waitress, it was not bad, but compared to fries, we definitely preferred fries. From front staff to waitress, services were attentive and considerate. Convenient parking garages near by. Parking fee goes between $5 - $13 depending on how many hours you need. Game time parking fees are charged whenever the stadiums hosting games and events. And when that happens, the area does get crowded. Highly recommend @WindDinenVacay read more

Cincinnati Lager House - Fried Pickles - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My wife and I visited Cincinnati Ohio. They've got a beautiful waterfront and we noticed a really nice looking restaurant on our journey. The restaurant is large, has wonderful views of the river, and it's just clean and very beautiful. The menu is full of different foods. Mostly Americana. I ordered the BLT because it sounded good. It was. I'm not exactly sure what the bread was... But it tasted like a really fresh sourdough. There is sort of an overall salty flavor to the sandwich which made it extra delicious. My wife got the barbecue stack sandwich. It had a bunch of different meats in it... Some looked like regular pulled pork and some of it looked just like hotdog. She thought it was good... Maybe the sauce was a bit too sweet. But all in all good food. My only complaint... And it's a small one. The service was just OK. It's a very busy restaurant and it was a very busy night. But, we were sat and never given silverware. We finally had to flag somebody down to find some. I ordered a Coke and had to flag somebody down to get a refill. And any interaction with any server whether they were dropping off food or taking an order they sprinted away from you like you were on fire. It just felt very rushed and impersonal. read more

Went for dinner with a group of 9. We were seated at a weirdly large table/booth, which made it difficult to talk as a whole group. It was also quite loud, which contributed to the challenge of talking, too. The service was fine; we had some trouble with drinks getting mixed up, but eventually we got the food and drinks we ordered. The fried pickles were a good app, but the wings were lackluster--fine but nothing to write home about. I ordered a Mediterranean salad and added grilled chicken, plus a side of fries. The salad was over dressed, but the chicken was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The fries came out lukewarm but they were seasoned nicely. Overall, this was a middling dining experience for me. It was fine but it's probably not a place I'll have to try again. That said, if you're in the area, it's a decent stop for dinner. read more
