| Supporting “local” isn’t just about local food and drink. It’s also about the idea that when we support one another fully, there are no boundaries to consider and no lines to cross. Our focus is to find and serve what is best for our guests because we care about what they put in their bodies. Our aim is to deliver an inspiring & accessible culinary experience at a value that has our guests saying, “we gotta come back as soon as possible” for all the right reasons. Our Commitment

Pairing a Great Dish with the Right Beer
Every item on our menu has a beer and wine style pairing suggestion as a place to get started, because everyones palate is different. We feature hand picked boutique and esoteric wines from select vineyards around the world, 23 Craft Beer taps, and an excellent selection of craft beers in bottles and cans as well. The best advice is to trust your instincts, ask questions for our knowledgeable staff, and have FUN, you might just discover something new!

Tips for Trying New Craft Brews
- Respect your taste buds! They can get confused when we throw too much at them at once.
- Pick a narrow range of varieties to experience the subtle differences between similar varieties, different recipes and different brewing styles.
- Start light! Beginning with a lighter, crisper beer and working your way toward darker, fuller-bodied brews will give you a more accurate taste for the unique character and flavor of each beer. It is commonly a good idea to have a sip of water in between tastes to cleanse the palate.
- Unless you want to experience the different ways brewers in various countries handle a single variety (e.g. stouts from England, Ireland, Germany and the U.S.), it is generally a good idea to avoid mixing beers from different countries in a single tasting.
The Theater Room
Our “Theater Room” is a special space that we make available for private parties of up to 24 guests. This is a thematic room handcrafted by the owners at BrewRiver inspired by the many generous contributions of some of our closest friends and biggest supporters. This one-of-a-kind room is a special tribute to our city’s rich theatrical history and a celebration of our support for our close friend’s and family’s many connections to the local performing arts and entertainment groups in Cincinnati. Displayed are over 100 of the original advertisements from Cincinnati’s many theaters which were actually published in the Cincinnati Enquirer in the 30′s & 40′s. These images depict many of the actors and actresses, musicians and thespians who made these shows so memorable here in Cincinnati.

Our Distilling Partners
BrewRiver carries a line of private label spirits distilled for us by our friends at the Woodstone Creek Distillery in Norwood (the oldest independent distillery in Ohio). These spirits are aimed at paying tribute to Cincinnati and to our local family lineage:
- A.J. Henkel Premium Vodka - A.J. is Christian’s GGG Grandfather, and was responsible for building Cincinnati Waterworks, the Levee at the base of Broadway, and many of the streets downtown including McMicken Avenue where the majority of Cincinnati’s remaining historic brewery stock exists.
- D.L. Billigheimer Artisan Vodka - D.L. is Joby’s Great-Great Grandfather, and was the owner of the Billigheimer’s Saloon and Billiards at 1314 Vine St. downtown, which was equipped with what was known as the largest and longest mirror in the world, and also the owner of the Bellevue House at the top of the Bellevue Incline.
- I Got Friends Spirit Whiskey - Dedicated to all of our good friends who are also in love with everything handcrafted and local.
- Turkey Bottoms Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Celebrating one of Cincinnati’s most unique historic neighborhoods where wild turkeys still flourish.
- East End Dry Gin - Celebrating one of Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhoods, set mostly along the river, was once home to one of the first Cincinnati Red’s teams, and now features one of Cincinnati’s most diverse population demographics.
Herb & Vegetable Garden and The Chef’s Patio
We have completed construction on The Chef’s Patio, where guests can view the restaurant operation and the river in an elevated way. The ambiance is fabulous and the energy near the gardens and tall trees is a captivating behind-the-scenes way to spend time with family, friends, and loved-ones over a great meal.
The now completed herb & vegetable beds are producing as well. We’ve planted chives, dill, flat leaf parsley, cilantro, lavender, lemon balm, mint, garlic, basil, peppers, tomatoes, oregano, onion, thyme, rosemary, artichokes, sage, heirloom tomatoes, beets, ramp, fennel, pickling cucumbers and peppers, as well as nasturtiums and rhubarb.
