    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.

    Bison Egg Rolls

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Cheese steak sandwich and garlic parm friends. Buffalo Chicken Wrap with brussel sprouts.

    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.

    Great place for Beer and food. Lots of seating with big tables and a bar area. Service was very friendly. Also happy hour 3-6 Monday thru Friday

    Burger Week specialty burger
    Kim S.

    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!

    Super dry bison meatloaf
    TJ W.

    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!

    Short Rib Pot Roast

    This is always a winning choice when downtown. We went on an off Sunday for lunch and got a seat right at the window with a wonderful view of the river and bridges.

    Beer batter fried fish (Forgot to photograph before eating )
    Christine Y.

    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.

    Restaurant Great locations, comfortable seats, and good…read morelighting. Absolutely great location if you're about to see a play next door. Service Our server was not so great. Maybe the waitress was new, but she took forever to come and help us, our glasses stayed empty, and it took an extra 15 minutes just to get the check. Appetizer None Main Course - Crab cake and toast was a huge hit with my wife. Though she wasn't sure how to eat it and the egg wasn't runny as she wanted, she enjoyed it. - 9/10 - Steak and fries with chimichurri was quite delicious. The bourbon bbq sauce for the fries I highly recommend. Steak was a bit over cooked but tasty. - 8/10 Dessert - Brulé cheese cake was light and fantastic. The berries consisted of 4 blueberries. Would have been nice with a few strawberries or raspberries- 8/10

    My team and I had the most amazing dinner at Nicholson's after a long day of work…read more We sat in the back room and were the only people back there, so it was nice and quiet and just what we needed. Our server, McKenna, took great care of us the whole evening. She was friendly, engaging, accommodating, and just did an overall great job. Pro tip, go during happy hour for great prices on appetizers and drinks. The appetizer pricing was so good we were able to order more than planned. We got the duck fat fries, brussels sprouts, and buffalo chicken. The duck fat fries came with a delicious garlic aïoli. The brussels sprouts were just perfect. And the buffalo chicken with some of the best I've had in a long time. I had never had cock-a-leekie before, so I tried that too. It was a nice, warm, comfort food. For our entrées, several of us got fish and shrimp. It was delicious and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce sauces were perfect. The highlighter of the evening for me was my mocktail. I noticed the drink menu had a cucumber elderberry drink, but I do not drink alcohol, so I ask if they would be willing to make something like it as a mocktail. It was genuinely one of the best mock tails I've ever had. It was so good. I asked if the bartender would mind sharing what she did so I could make some version of it at home. She happily obliged and wrote it down for me. Overall, a wonderful experience that will definitely have me recommending Nicholsons to friends and family!
