Servatii Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt Is an Ohio Tradition With German Roots

"Perched above the Ohio River with views of the Roebling Suspension Bridge, this lager house anchors the market’s setting and produces much of its food and drink. Rooted in a brewery founded in 1853 by a German immigrant, revived in the 1980s, and brought back home in 2004 under local owner Greg Hardman, it channels Cincinnati’s beer heritage while serving crowd‑pleasers like hand‑cut, breaded schnitzel paired with house‑made apple kraut (apples, bacon, onions, juniper, coriander, and house‑brewed beer). Its west lawn even helped launch the Christkindlmarkt, a natural extension of the tradition‑forward, local‑twist ethos it champions." - Wendy Pramik
