This was the last stop on the Cincy Brew bus tour. And one thing I was working on my upteenth beer sample. Feeling pretty good ha ha. But boy does the West side need a place like this. This is a big big place. Love the selection and it has a new state of the art beer selection menu. It literally tells you how much left on tap for each beer the have. Cool I think. And the beer is good. Some bite food's offered. Enjoy. read more

This place was really cool! It had a very relaxed vibe and kind bartenders. The beer was really good too!! The layout of the space was fun and set up in a way to be more of a community get together. They have a food truck too and it changes which one is there. My only negative is it is loud and parking was a struggle. read more

The west side really needed a place like this...a modern space and good, quality beer. My favorite was the Pale Ale but we did a flight and they were all really good. They also have wine, cider, soda and limited liquor available. Both times we were there they had food trucks parked outside. Parking is available on the surrounding streets or in a couple of public lots nearby. There is a private party room available for events, along with corn hole, jenga and darts. Update: a lot of the earlier reviews complained about the noise level and lack of parking. They have since added noise dampening panels and parking - great job listening to the negatives and fixing them. It's MUCH quieter in there now (not quiet per day but not so loud you want to leave). Regarding parking, they have a lot behind the funeral home next door or there are several free lots less than a block away. read more

The interior of the space was really nice and streamlined. Very family and pet friendly as with most tap rooms. the food menu was even interesting. We ordered a few light bites and watched a screen after a day of canoeing. We pretty much liked everything but the beer. I ordered two flights with different beers and there was only one that I actually liked. It was a bit of a let down but the thing about beer is no matter how it tastes, it always works!... So down the hatch they went. I'm not sure I'll visit which sucks because its 5 minutes from my house. Maybe, I will wait until the beers hey have currently cycle out and give them another try. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

Love West Side Brewing! We moved to Westwood in 2020 and it's been one of our favorite spots to visit. They always have events and food trucks, and on Wednesdays you can bring your dog(s). In the summertime, they have seating across the street next to town hall which is nice. My absolute favorite beer of theirs is the Pilsner which is (sadly!) seasonal. I wish they would have it all year around. It's very difficult to find a pilsner that has that unique Czech pilsner taste ... I'm not an aficionado so I don't know which ingredient it comes from but think of Pilsner Urquell if you've had that. Anyway, great spot and nice people! read more

The beers are OK, but the service is atrocious. There is a bartender named Chris that is surly that is just awful. It's a shame, because some of the beers are decent. Common is bad, the ipas are l clean but just somehow an outlier of blandness. How is that even possible? Boldly bland. Anyway, give it a shot if you feel like paying $7 for beers that cost the company less than 50 cents to make and be treated rudely. read more

I rarely go to the west side of town, but my husband wanted to come here on a gloomy Saturday. He and I have different tastes when it comes to beer, but we both agree that going for local craft beer is a win win all around. Supporting local businesses, getting delicious beverages, seeing other parts of the hometown where we live. We got a flight of 4. I got the hefeweizen, common, and winter warmer. My husband got the bock and a pint of stout. I am a HUGE fan of hefeweizens, and this one was no exception. It is my favorite of today's choices. I liked the common, but just slightly hoppy for me. I also enjoyed the winter warmer, but I'll stick with the hefeweizen. The bartender was very welcoming and informative and over all a wonderful woman to be in charge on an early Saturday afternoon. read more

West Side Brewing is a pretty big brewery. The inside is very spacious along with the fact that the actually brewery is inside in its own section. It's huge on the inside. I believe they do events on certain nights (i.e. football watch night, karaoke, etc.). They also have plenty of beer. I am not a beer drinker but they have a few other drinks. I went for a fundraising event with my neighbors. The staff is very nice but my main complaint was the night I went they were out of quite a few drinks. I wanted wine but they didn't have the wine I wanted. They also do not have food and you have to either eat before you come or order from surrounding food places. The good thing is on certain nights they have food trucks. The day I went I had a pulled pork sandwich and Lays Potato Chips from Smokin' Inferno. The sandwich was very good and the pork was tender and flavorful. Since they were out of wine I tried a beer cocktail they had this night. It was a Pineapple Mule with beer in it. It started off good (my first few sips) but after the first few the true beer flavor kicked in. Again I'm not a beer drinker so I quit drinking it. Basically I wasted the drink but it was bought for a good cause (again I went for a fundraiser). I will say if you are truly a beer drinker, I believe you'd like this spot. It's good for beer and a good time with friends. read more

We love coming to West Side Brewing - especially on Wednesday nights as that is Dog Night! We love to go out with our very well behaved pups and there are lots of options in the summer, but not so much in the winter so this is perfect for us. And they have treats for the pups :) The space is open & clean and they have board games as well as giant jenga along with sports on the TVs. Food is provided by food trucks (when they show up) and is good, but if the trucks don't show there is a Subway down the street so just check before you come. Besides their own beer they also serve other local beers, but I make it a point to have the ones made by them. The Hefeweizen and Common Ale are both really good, but my husband prefers the Double IPA. West Side Brewing is our official weeknight date night with the pups on Wednesdays! read more

This place has only been opened for a couple of weeks so I will give them a break and give them 3 stars. There is no table service so you stand in line and wait .... and wait. It took us 20 minutes to get a beer. Our friends came later and they waited 20 minutes. Needless to say we only stayed for one. Overall the place looks nice and beer was good Open beer hall look with concrete floors. Bench seating. As I said the place was very crowded so it was very very loud.

I really want to like this brewery. It is a really fun hang-out, and I love coming here with my family and neighbors, as it is nearly around the corner from us. But most of their beers are definitely mediocre, not very flavorful or "special", just very plain. Sometimes they'll have something that is a bit fruity or has a but of a different taste, but they generally go pretty quickly or are seasonal. Despite this, they have lots of events and food trucks nearly every night of the week. The service is good and bartenders are very nice, and it is pet-friendly! But be wary when going here and where you park, as the neighborhood is extremely awful and has a very high crime rate, and, unfortunately, their parking lot is small and often completely full. read more

Dealing with pandemic requirements while in the service industry does not require rudeness. It was clear from the moment that our group entered this brewery that they did not want our business or anyone's for that matter. They were short with customers and downright nasty about the way they enforced their covid rules. I would not return until the pandemic is over and maybe they can lighten up a bit. Definitely not the experience you would want to have while trying to relax with friends and family. read more

I've been here before and enjoyed the beers very much. This was my first trip back since they've reopened due to Covid 19. The windows are open, a number of tables have been removed to allow social distancing, and they still get the food trucks. You have to stay seated, and they will come around to see when you need another beer. On Thursday 6/4 they had the Big Dogg BBQ truck out front, which was outstanding.

We've been waiting for a brewery on the west side for a long time, so when I heard this was in development a few years ago I was beyond excited; finally, a brewery I wouldn't have to drive a half hour or more to get to! We made the short journey over to our new watering hole and I couldn't be more happy with it. I haven't had a beer I don't like yet. I've had the Common Ale, which is luckily available at establishments across the west side including Chandler's Burger Bistro, O'Charley's, and many west side catholic school festivals that I've been to so far this year. I've tried the West Side Cerveza, Honey Blonde Ale, Session IPA, and Double IPA. They're all good. Really good. The atmosphere is relaxed and the floor plan is great with architecture that wraps around the corner building creating a large amount of room, without making the space feel too open or exposed. There are party rooms available as well. If you haven't tried West Side Brewing yet, you should. read more

If you are in the Kenwood area, and want a break from the chaos and crowds, Il Gusto is close by!

Okay, I understand the hype! Bourbon House Pizza does Chicago deep dish pizza perfectly. My husband…read moreand I split one of the supreme pizzas and got Italian sausage and mushrooms in it. It was honestly so delicious, and oddly enough was even better reheated the next day! (Reheated great in a toaster oven) It also came out quicker than I expected. (With it being Chicago deep dish, I was prepared to wait!) We also got their appetizer sampler. The items were good, but the pizza balls definitely stood out! The dough was so fantastic and clearly homemade. It was perfectly buttery and flaky, yet firm structural. The sauce was also delicious. A must: pairing everythingggg with their house made ranch. My brother got a steak hoagie and was pretty disappointed when a small sandwich with a meat patty and a side of potato chips is what came out. It just didn't match the caliber of the pizza at all. We also got to Italian sub style hoagies, and those were both small and underwhelming as well. The dining room had a bit of a disheveled feel but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was off. The servers were attentive and kind. We parked at the Levee and walked over. Overall synopsis: I actually can't wait to get pizza here again!!!

We stopped in before a show at Southgate House. It was a Friday and we made reservations for 5:30…read more Reservations at this time were not needed; it was not crowded. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. They have outside seating, which could be nice in the right weather, though the area is just feet from the main drag. Our server was fine. I have no real recollection of them. We ordered a deep dish, looking to find a pizza as good as Zachary's in California. Bourbon House Pizza is not as good as Zachary's, but it is the best deep dish pizza we've tried in the Cincinnati area since we've been back in Cincinnati since 2021. We made our own pizza in an attempt to match our favorite - spinach and mushrooms. It was good. I enjoyed the sauce on top. Under the sauce, the cheese was very thick making the overall taste of the pizza very cheesy. We had a similarly cheese deep dish in Chicago. Our pizza at Bourbon House was better. I will say the crust is thick. I would have eaten the crust if there had only been two pieces per person. Since I was faced with potentially eating four pieces, I opted to skip the crust. One of our group asked if she could order from the kid's menu. The server had no issue with the request. Oddly enough, her meal was huge! We were all surprised it was a kid's meal. Our fourth ordered a small pizza. It looked like it had pineapple on it. I didn't ask how it was, but he ate every bite. It must have been a small and it was the perfect single serving size. Oh... we ordered a medium deep dish. It was eight pieces and was too much for two people. Because we were going to a show after dinner, we didn't box up the leftover two pieces. This size pizza would be great for four people to share. We will continue to look for great deep dish pizza, but we definitely found a good one at Bourbon House Pizza.

The staff was nice and the decor is your typical dive bar or pizza place. The deep dish pizza took about 35 minutes but we were told ahead of time that that would be the case.

I was greeted quickly and while looking at the rotating menu board behind the counter and trying to decide. I was directed to the menu laminated on the counter. Duh! even though I was alone I got a small meat lovers pizza and sat out back. The back was like a fenced in backyard with tables and umbrellas. When the guy brought my (great tasting) pizza out he told me to turn on the fans and basically make myself at home (my words, I was the only one there). I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Laid back, relaxed and they even have a bourbon bar upstairs. How can you beat that. When I'm in town next year, I'll have to check them out again. You should too!
