Wonderful first stop on our self-guided tour of the Brewery District in Cincy!! Great industrial space (don't miss the views from the cozy rooftop!!) plenty of seating, great service, and tons of choices for just about every beer lover's tastes. Table service vs. going up to the bar now, in times of Covid, but thanks to the attentive staff, we never had a very long wait. I enjoyed a chocolate/coffee porter, and the Mr. had an IPA and a rye-based brew (sorry, can't remember the names!!) Lots of special events held here, including TWO weddings (!!) earlier on the Saturday we visited. Helpful hint: Take the tram to get here, there's a stop practically right outside the entrance!! A great choice in the OTR/Brewery District, don't miss it!! read more

Rhinegeist Brewery - Rooftop bar Juicy Truth and Cheetah - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this place!! I want start by saying that Rhinegeist is doing everything in their power to make sure they are taking all precautionary measures during this pandemic. It is very clean, socially distant, and the waiters come to you at your table (no walk up bar service). Since they didn't offer flights while we were there, we decided to try several different half pours. For $4-$5 they will pour you a half cup of any draft. I tried mostly ciders and ales, while my boyfriend was a bit more adventurous with his selections. My favorites were by far the semi-dry cider and the Zango! We cannot wait to go back to Rhinegiest if we are to visit Cincinnati again! read more

Rhinegeist never disappoints! Every time I come down to Findlay market we always make a stop for an afternoon beer. It's always welcoming and we love to roof top. Service is wonderful and never really bothers you either which is nice when you just want to hang out. It's a favorite. read more

Rhinegeist Brewery - Nitro tart press - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Rhinegeist brews are pretty popular in Pittsburgh and I love the bubbles, so when I was in Cincy I knew I wanted to make a stop here. I came on a Friday afternoon and there were only two other patrons in the skylight room. The "host" working at the entrance of that room at the top of the stairs totally ignored me and was on his phone. I stood at the stand for a minute and then asked him if I could sit down or see a menu or talk to someone? Like hello, how unprofessional! I was immediately turned off. He gave me a menu, but I ended up walking over to the other side of the skylight room where you can buy beers and merch. The girl working over there was much more helpful and professional. I was hoping to grab a pack of the bubbles but they were out of 6 packs to go. I got a 6 pack of the zango crush, which I ended up liking. It's a cool atmosphere, industrial-modern space. I would come back and sit at the rooftop bar or something and hope there's a better host. read more

Heard that this is a very well known brewery and I know why! The space is huge, multiple levels and even a rooftop with great views of the city. The drinks are reasonably priced and there are lot sod beers to choose from including various lagers, IPAs, sours, and others. The staff was nice and told us "we just want people to have a good time." read more

Rhinegeist Brewery - Black IPA - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place has been on my radar for years, and yesterday I finally got to it. Amazing beers in a cool, industrial atmosphere. They have cornhole and board games, that you can play. Very friendly service, and they had cool merchandise items to browse and buy. One place they could improve would be with food/snacks: they had a very dry pretzel with no dipping sauce options (no mustard, beer cheese, etc). They allowed outside food, but I would've stayed and spent longer if they had their own beyond some small offerings like bagged chips. read more

Wow! Rhinegeist is an amazing brewery! Seems like whatever they put their minds to in beer styles they will excel at it! At this point I have had two of their beers and both beers were memorable and simply fantastic! The first beer I had was their Zango beer. It was so good! It combined apple, mango and tangerine flavors together to amounting to a unique, and memorable ale. It was simply wonderful and definitely stuck to my memory which is key for me on issuing a place five stars. Their other beer was a bourbon barrel aged stout Night Wale. It comes in a couple different versions and coming in at 15% ABV you will definitely notice consuming this one! In my opinion this bottle best be shared with someone else. The bourbon and vanilla flavor features are great providing an intriguing layered aspect to your tongue. Best to sip this one! Anyway those two beers are simply amazing and I love their merchandise shop and have a few of their t shirts and a pair of socks. Definitely check this brewery out! You are in for a treat! read more

I love this place but I'm not quite ready for the 5th star. The atmosphere is open warehouse and they play off that vibe to the max. You walk up flights of emergency stairs just to get in (so yes you're in the right place, before you ask.) The hoppers are wide open and go to the ceiling. There's cornhole in the middle of the broad floor and tables all around. Really I just have two foibles to point out: 1) Improve the food sitch. There's a small cart in one corner and that restaurant is about to close. They need a permanent eats. 2) I loved my first beer (molé stout) but the second one (vanilla stout) really had nothing special going on. Not sure if this is a one-time problem or if their brews are inconsistent. Still, I would gladly come back to find out more and see if that 5th star could be earned. read more

All the beers we had were fairly decent. Our bartender wasn't very knowledgeable about how the beers were brewed and had to look up our questions about production on his phone. We ordered a soft pretzel and it must have been days old as it was hard as a rock. The beer cheese that accompanied it was coagulated and had mold. read more

Definitely a fan of all Ohio craft beers, so this one had been on my list for awhile. I was down in the OTR area and made it a plan to stop by and get some work done on a Friday afternoon while testing out a Rhinegeist flight! Massive options of beers (almost overwhelming) along friendly and patient bartenders who helped me figure out what I wanted. I opted for the Bubbles, Glow, Zuki Punch and Infrared Eclipse. The Zuki Punch was my fave. The Infrared was not good at all. I am kind of bummed though because their website has so many awesome flavors (as I write this a month later). Lots more I would have wanted to try but didn't see as options when I was there. The upstairs is for sure a vibe. Big, open space with corn hole, games and tons of picnic table seating. Also a small area that sells merchandise. I was surprised that for a Friday afternoon in April (between 4p-5p) I was one of only a handful of patrons in this massive upstairs venue. I would have thought it would have been packed with people. Maybe because the temperature was in the mid 80's, others opted for a true patio style vibe. All told, I do enjoy Rhinegeist and would go back. I think they need to open up quite a few more taprooms in the Cincy area. I think they'd do really well. Wish they sold their beers (or shipped them) out in Arizona. So many options I'd love to try! read more

No real food. A giant beer hall that smells like spilled beer. Service was pleasant. Some bags and ping pong and other games to mess with. It had beer. Some were good. Some were not. Go if you just wanna drink beer. read more

Great spot for a fun night in Cincy! Tons of beer options, but what makes this place unique is the atmosphere. There's a large open room in the brewery with various games you can play while sipping your beer, as well as tvs to watch sports games. We made our way to the rooftop, which had a lovely view of the city. I did sample several of the sours before deciding and will say that they were not overly sour, but definitely stop by and don't miss the rooftop (and a game of cornhole)! read more

Great brewery with an awesome space to hang with a large or small group. I got an IPA and it was quite tasty. They have a rooftop that is worth checking out. Multiple levels with enough space to setup multiple lanes of corn hole. Got a nicely designed souvenir t-shirt. They had lots of options for any gifts. I'm not sure if they serve food though as it sounds like they have space for a kitchen but no one was currently operating it. read more

Rhinegeist Brewery - View form the rooftop - Breweries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I love Rhinegeist, and it is one of the best breweries in Cincinnati. I love their craft beers, the brewery space, the provision to play corn hole, the rooftop- everything! I dropped in here with a friend yesterday to try their limited edition BA Penguin (the barrel aged blonde stout). The beer was amazing. The stout, with the coffee and chocolate undertone, and Bourbon oak flavor, was a great concoction. I've tried many options from Rhinegeist, and I've liked them all (except Truth). This brewery does need a better parking arrangement. Also, they do Sartre for food options. However, their menu is very limited. We got a grilled cheese, and it was very mediocre. Rhinegeist should have a proper food space. read more

I love this place. It's such a fun brewery to go and play cornhole meet with friends and enjoy some great beer. I love the fruity beers like wowo peach dodo and many more. The rooftop bar is relaxing and has a great view. We went for a going away party for a friends son. They reserved tables and brought their own food which is very accommodating. They do have a place to get a quick bite to eat. It's a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon read more

Rhinegeist Brewery is truly like no other. It's a very popular brand that you can find all over the place, as well as in other cities. I was not expecting this building to be soooo huge, almost like a gigantic factory room. We came on a whim one Saturday night and it was hella crowded. It took about 3 laps around the entire building just to squeeze in a spot! But they do have a rooftop bar as well, along with cornhole, mega connect 4 and all kinds of ways to entertain yourself here...aside from drinking. What I really, really love about their beer is that there is something for everyone. They've got a large list to go through and, as someone who doesn't care much for beer, ended up loving every single one that we tried. This is definitely a Cincinnati experience worth trying. Just beware of the crowds! read more

This place is a super cool place to come to if you're in the area! Conveniently located right at connector Brewery district stop, the brewery has you take a few flights of stairs upstairs that opens up to this HUGE room with LOTS of tables and corn hole games. Grab your drinks at the bar and sit wherever you want. We wanted to check out the rooftop but for whatever reason it was not open today. Came at 4:30 pm on a Saturday and it was packedddd. What a great place to hang out! We had dinner plans afterwards but our friends had told us that this was a must check out so we grabbed a sunspin which tasted good a bit on the hoppy taste. They are probably known for their IPAs. Not really my type of beer to drink, but i just really like the vibe and area! Highly recommend checking out! read more

We loved our visit to Rhinegeist! The weather was perfect to spend an afternoon on their beautiful rooftop. There was a team of servers that worked together to make sure that our needs were met during our stay. I tried their Zappy cider -- not super sweet, so if you like a less sweet cider then I think this one is for you! I also had the Bubbles Rosé Ale, which is always delicious and a little sweeter. My husband has the Cheetah and the Whiffle and liked both of them. We appreciated the precautions they've taken in light of COVID. We felt very comfortable during the entirety of our visit! read more

This is such a fun place! Cornhole & ping pong inside, big screen TVs, & a really neat rooftop patio! Their beer is awesome & there are so many options to choose from. They also have a limited cocktail menu. I got to try their wowie margarita which was top notch! I also tried one of their fried chicken sandwiches. Nice size chicken breast on a soft bun with a really good house made sauce. Their food menu is limited, but the chicken sandwich was excellent & the beer is really all you need. Fun experience! read more

It's was a great time and such a cool location. I will return and loves their brews. Great place to celebrate anything.

This is not only a great brewery but it is a great place to go hang out with your friends and enjoy a day of fun and beer! We went on the tour and it was very enlightening! This brewery has so many different beers on tap you are guaranteed to find something you like! They've got great swag too! If you visit Cincinnati; this is a must on your itinerary! Stay for a beer, or stay all day and play cornhole and games with your friends! Don't forget to check out the rooftop bar! Gorgeous view of Cincinnati and more personal tap service! read more

The most dysfunctional brewery ever. You try beers on tap but they don't have cans to go. And then if you try to buy a growler to go, they say you can't get that. Their service was horrendous. When I cam here it was a craft show, I was looking forward to the games I heard so much about. I will never com back. They don't know what the left hand is doing when the right hand is doing something completely different. What a waste of time. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Rhinegeist and I happened to show up during a USA World Cup game this week. I forgot about what a unique and well run place it is. It was absolutely packed but the lines were running efficiently. Staff were also able to keep it relatively clean, indicating they have proper staffing. This was such an innovative concept for the area when it opened and it still feels special with the open concept, cornhole, etc. It was a really fun place to take out of town guests. read more

WOW. What a neat atmosphere!! While in Cincy last weekend, we learned Rhinegeist was having a big anniversary party. It was somewhere we wanted to check out anyway but were on the fence about going. Man, I'm sure glad we did! There was a bit of a wait to get in but it went pretty quick. Once inside, you go up several flights of stairs to what opens up to a large area that resembles a warehouse space. They have a couple of bar areas to grab drinks and then lots of picnic tables out for seating. That night they had a band, Jess Lamb and The Factory, playing and even through it was crowded, we were able to get a seat pretty close to the front and enjoyed the music. There were lots of fun signs up ('Greetings from Rhinegeist,' 'Welcome to Geist Vegas,' a giant car hanging from the ceiling), which I just assumed were always there as I'd never visited before but later I learned it was all a part of their theme for the celebration. Either way, I think they were awesome and should just stay up all the time. Apparently there is also a rooftop patio that we totally missed. There was a long line towards the back and we wondered what it was for but never ventured to find out. Well, I think it was to get to the patio! We will definitely have to go back and more throughly check out the rest of the space. It was a great experience all around! read more
