Samuel Adams Cincinnati Taproom

The food is minimal, but the appetizers are really good. If you sit on the side with the beer taps, you are taken care of and tended to...of course, we sat on the side where they cook the small pizzas and after we ordered a flight, we were kind of forgotten about and had to ask for food and ask for the check. The beers are all phenomenal...it was a shame that the service was lack luster and what made it worse was our hostess was the owner.

Came to pick up a load appointment 3 o’clock get here at 10:30 AM. They came and get my trailer at 4:40 PM. Staff very friendly. The only negative I could actually think of is the fact that it’s very tight so if you are in front of the black fence where shipping is at do not drive up in there drive around The neighborhood behind where you see all the trailers part and find the parking spot once you go in they have cameras all over this neighborhood. They’ll find your trailer and truck and they’ll come to you. Pick up your trailer. Bring it back loaded with your paperwork. Again DO NOT TURN INTO SHIPPING!!!!Park on the block anywhere you can find and walk up there. Shipping is not the first office it’s the grey container office . If you’re facing the stadium go to that corner make a right, next light right look for all the US XPRESS trailers and pull down that block

Super cool little place with great pizza! The beers were also very good. Nice people and cute little place to hang out outside!

Great service and a chance to get Cherry Wheat draft. Friendly service and helpful information about Utopia tours. I look forward to returning. 🍻

Sam Adams Taproom was such an enjoyable experience for us. We tried a flight and other beers. All of them were good. Our favorite was the cold snap. The atmosphere is chill and pleasant. Customer service is good and attentive. Would definitely return to try more beers

We came down for the weekend from Cleveland. Cold snap needs to be a year round brew! Awesome outdoor area and fast service!

Certainly spoilt for choice in the area for beer but this place is highly recommended. Although you’ll find their Boston lager, the version served here is slightly different. Some nice small snacks available and make sure you have a beer in hand before trying the BBQ chips. Tours available and some merchandise available. Plenty of seating inside and out.

Overall nice location. Beers are not bad, but neither exceptional. Service is friendly. They have some decent snacks to compliment beer. We specifically liked the spinach artichoke dip. Any the chips that come with it are also delicious.

This was my first time here and I'll be back. I am not a beer drinker, at all. I was invited to go and just to give some flavors a try.On the flight we tried the 304, Serpentine, Gingerbread and Cincinnati IPA. The 304 was too bitter, not enough tropical flavors for me. The Serpentine was my favorite out of the flight. It had a more wine cooler taste and I could distinguish between the tropical flavors. They weren't overpowering and I could tolerate the taste of the beer. The Gingerbread tasted exactly like you would expect, but in a liquid form. That one was a hard no for me. It had more of a nutmeg flavor than I would like. It was just really strong. The Cincy IPA was good when I took my first drink, but the after taste was way too bitter for my liking. The surprise beer I tried was Cherry Wheat. There was a motorcycle club there and they asked for the Cherry Wheat. They were joking around with the bartender and they were saying how it tasted like pop. Well that was intriguing and curious minds had to find out. This beer was AHHHHMAZING!!! It tasted like a cherry cola, it was so good. My friend and I went to the store after and she bought a six pack of it. I highly recommend the Cherry Wheat if you aren't a "beer drinker". The atmosphere is super chill and laid back. The seating options are amazing. I have no complaints. I highly recommend. The staff were amazing and super attentive. It was a great evening out.

At the Samuel Adams tap room they have commercial favorites but also exclusive tap room brews. They have a nice food menu. The space is friendly and cozy in spots. They do have some of the tap room brews available for purchase in cans, and they will fill a growler if you bring one to them. When we were there they did not have any empty growlers for sale. The staff is very friendly, service was quick. Check out the bar which has Sam Adams bottle caps and bottle glass imbed in it.

The beer is fantastic, as you would expect from a brewery as successful as Samuel Adams. The selection was varied and there is a beer to fit a wide range of tastes. The food, on the other hand, could use some work. The bratwurst we got was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for awhile. Maybe we just got the wrong thing, but it was surprising since our experience with the drinks was the complete opposite. They have plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Great place to bring a large group. All the staff and servers were cordial and helpful.

Enjoyed some beers before going to the market. Excellent service and beers are really good.

I love their pretzels and back patio. They are very dog friendly so it is especially nice in the summer to sit out with your pup and enjoy some drinks and food. I am not a big beer drinker, so I can't comment on the beer taste and quality. But I can say they have a nice space, service is quick and the atmosphere is nice too. Every time I've gone it's been more of family and pet vibes than partying vibes. However most times I've gone were during the afternoons on Saturday.

A beautiful air conditioned open space on a hot day walking around downtown cincy. Beers were well priced. It was a good spot to pre-game at in walking distance to the stadium. There is a small food menu too. We got nachos that were huge and were about a 3/5.

I live in Columbus but have been wanting to explore more of Ohio! This place caught my eye and was a great excuse to head down to Cincy! The vibes were awesome and I looved the seating. I like to read at bars, and they had bunch of comfy chairs and couches for that. But then they also had swings, bar seating, and some regular ole tables- which is what I opted for since I was meeting a friend. I was greeted immediately, and the staff was super friendly the whole time. When my friend came, we picked a flight together and then bought beers off of it after- highly recommend the Gingerbread Brauhaus whereas my friend really liked the Cherry Wheat Beer. We shared a spinach dip (yum!) and my friend got one of their sandwiches (she gave me a bite- I can't remember what it was but it was AWESOME). I would recommend ole Sammy Adams Tap to anyone asking.

The bartender was friendly and patient. The beer was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

This was such a nice brewery! Wasn't overly crowded. The beers weren't terribly priced for a larger city. And the vibes. A+. It was beautiful inside. Also. Get the pretzel. The thing is HUGE and the beer cheese is incredible.

A nice big space with both indoor and outdoor seating. I love a brewery that is dog friendly (as did my dog). There was comfortable seating outside. The inside was really large and had lots of TVs for watching sports. Staff was nice. I don't drink beer, so I wished they had a guest cider or seltzer on tap as an option for me. My crew enjoyed the beer, though.

The service could be better. But, the homemade pretzel was excellent and the ambiance was chill.

Amazing highlight of our Germanfest. Longtime lover of Samuel Adams-evem traveled to Boston for their other experimental taphouse and brewery. Had a great time at their brewery tour. This location is awesome-has a great indoor/ outdoor vibe! Variety of table set up options. Excited to visit again soon!

The outdoor seating at this location looks amazing. I wish it would have been warm enough to take advantage of it. We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of taproom exclusives. They also have the staple Sam Adam's beers you are used to seeing along with a small food menu. The inside has plenty of seating and the service was great!

We attended the introduction to Burger Week tonight. I'd never been to Samuel Adam's before and it was a pleasure. Lots of comfortable seating! They don't have parking available, but just across the street is a Findlay Market pay lot. We had the featured mini burgers and both were delicious.

We were lucky enough to be one of the first few to go on the new factory tour. We've do a lot of brewery tours across the country and this was by far the longest and most in-depth we've been on. Perhaps a little to long (over two hours). This tour isn't for anyone with mobility issues or who can't stand, walk and climb a lot of stairs for over two hours. We had a few older gentleman in our tour that were not prepared for its length. They're still working out the kinks on this tour and I would definitely suggest cutting down the time but it's definitely worth it to get to see some of there innovative processes. The can distribution into mixed cases room was spellbinding! We got to see them making/packaging a variety of beer, cider, hard tea, etc. You're given a glass of their seasonal brew before the tour and a flight after. Hard hats, hair nets, vests required (provided) and this is quite possibly the cleanest factory we've ever been in.

My husband works at the brewery so we find ourselves here fairly often, especially when the weather is nice. They have introduced a more expanded food menu since they opened, which is great!! Veggie friendly options too. The pizza is very good! I wouldn't say I'm a beer lover, but my husband has helped me find what I gravitate more towards when we visit. The bartenders also let you try beers first before committing, which is so nice. The vibe is very chill, not too loud and great for a gathering or relaxed date night/afternoon. It's almost like a hidden oasis in OTR that's not too pretentious. Love coming here!

Recently visited while staying with my sister who lives in Kentucky and I loved the ambiance here from the barrels to the nice seats and the outdoor area which I'm sure is lively in the nicer weather. I got an exclusive Pilsner which was good and the service was fast and friendly.

1st visit, Stopped in before baseball game. It's really nice taproom, Very nice layout. Saw they some food. It's tram ride to area around the stadiums near the River from here. ( Tram is free)

This brewery is great! Love that they always have seasonally rotating beers. I can't resist getting their Bavarian soft pretzel every time I visit. The homemade beer cheese makes it even better. Staff is also so great!

Food tasted great especially for the price. We did the yelp event and got the free flight. Service was very quick and friendly.

Its always cool to visit this taproom, the ambiance is really chill, love that I can take my dog with me and relax outside, food is pretty good as well. Service is one of the best things there, they are always on it, very friendly, and aware in case you need anything. This last time unfortunally wasnt the best of our visits due to the beers available, everything was either IPA or fruit based beers and the FC Cincinnati beer they had was gone which I think was one if not the best on the list. It was a little disappointing that the draft menu looked like a description of a fruity pebbles cereal, but its a place I will still come back to.

After being in Boston last week and trying the original Sam Adam's, I was told about the Cincinnati location. Of course I wanted to check it out! The location was spacious and our server was great. They have the traditional sam adams pours available as well as some specific to this location. Also, swag is very reasonable! I got a t-shirt for $20! Some street parking or lot across the street.

First time going to this place! It's right across the street from the FCC Cincinnati stadium! I arrived just at last call (due to work schedule). Got the Rocket Pop beer (special for Cincy Burger week)! Definitely coming back!

Came here for a relaxing drink, left with new childhood memories. I enjoyed every bit of my visit here. It's a great place to unwind with friends or as a meet up spot to watch the game. Ambiance: casual I love couches perfect for lounging while enjoying a beer and watching the TV or talking. The bar chairs are especially comfortable try them out. Food and Drink: Selection maybe limited as far as in house food offered but the choices are great. We went during wing week and they were tasty and delicious. Of course the beers there are good, I had the Rocket Pop which transported me back to my childhood. I mean who doesn't love popsicles, but to have them with/in a beer, delightful. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Taste a few before you decide. I would not ordinarily have settled on the rocket pop beer but after tasting it, how could I not! Lesson learned taste a few beers, especially since the selection changed energy so often. 2) Bring some friends and encourage them to taste some beers. When people say they don't like beer, to me that's like saying you don't like pizza, there's too much variety to disregard there whole category. Taste some and then decide, many naysayers have been turned into reasonable beer drinkers. And this is a place to bring your friends and chill have a good time.

Great atmosphere and enjoyed their local to Cinci beers. The giant pretzel was a hit!

Cinncinati had many many breweries, to be honest we always kind of overlooked Sam Adams.. Very pleasantly surprised that the location, layout and the amenities are second to none. When you are in the Nati put this down as one of your brewery stops.

Great atmosphere and service. The bar was super comfortable and the staff was very helpful and just genuinely seemed happy to be there. Looking forward to coming back and checking out the nice patio.

Great service. Food was wonderful. Beer selection was very goods it's nice to come from Findlay Market

Really big and and cool space. The beers are really cold. Lots of tvs so would be cool before an FC game.

Very cool vibe! Super friendly bartenders. Lot of comfortable seating and big patio area with fire pit. Several good option for snacking with pretzels, dips, & cheese board. Will be back again for sure. Great spot to have a beer before FC game

A "hidden gem" (at least to us) on one of the side streets off of Findlay Market, this is a really nice spot to relax, meet up with friends, and try a few really interesting brews. Even if you don't drink, or think you know Sam Adams beers, you're more than likely to find something new here to your liking. We arrived at the tail end of what looked to be a fun community event ("most awesome beard contest!!) and found some people out on their patio, playing corn hole, Jenga, and just hanging out by the fire pit. Inside is VERY nice, with a variety of different seating options, including a window swing!! We sat at the bar at first, checking out their offerings, then grabbed a picnic table outside to enjoy a nice, warm evening. The Mr. went with a flight, and I tried the cherry wheat, which was VERY good. You'll find some of the "standard" Sam Adams offerings, along with some that you won't see elsewhere. Things were pretty relaxed around dinner time on a Sunday afternoon, but I'm sure this place is hopping during prime time hours. Didn't see too much to eat, maybe a pretzel and some cheese boards, but there are tons of great choices in the Findlay Market area. I love the amount of work and attention to detail this and many other breweries so obviously show. It's a great neighborhood hang out, and if you're just visiting the area, a nice way to "blend in" and enjoy the local vibe!! Nice place, great service... We'll be back, hopefully soon!!

Admittedly biased because a friend works for Sam Adams, but the taproom is awesome. It's such a cool space. I didn't really expect it when I walked in, but I loved it. They have beers on tap you can't get elsewhere and it's just a good place to hang and have drinks. Can't wait to take friends here

Service was fantastic! Claire was very helpful in deciding what to try! The pretzel was so good

I won't lie, I expected this to be a stuffy corporate beer experience. We only came in so I could get the Ohio On Tap stamp (download it if you haven't yet). I was so wrong! Delicious beers (the worst one was their namesake, who would have thought) and a great pretzel. This is mostly a place to drink beer--your food options are limited. They checked ID outside before you could go in. For a Saturday afternoon, I found that odd. The "keep your glass" beer deal with pretty affordable. I would definitely return on my next trip to Cincinnati.

Went for the tour. It was excellent. The tour guide was passionate about beer and was knowledgeable. He walked us through how to taste the beer to experience the full profile of each beer. We stayed afterwards to have lunch, try another beer, and bought some to being back to Chicago. Staff was outgoing, the brats were very good, and bar vibe was fun. Shout out to Dan, a local soccer fan, who bought us a beer. Ever in the area again we will stop by for a beer.

Been wanting to stop in here for a while. Finally made it down to Cincy from Columbus. We were not disappointed. They have lots of options. I don't even like beer. Ima cider and mixed drink girl and they even had a beer I liked. I ordered two! The patio out front is awesome. We played corn home and enjoyed the sunset. They had a cool, handy, self serve water tap. Thought that was a nice touch. We got the pretzel. It's huge. It was delish very soft and fluffy. It came with stone ground mustard and beer cheese. Both were very good. We will definitely go back again soon!

So excited that Samuel Adams finally opened a tap room on Cincy! It was due time! I believe their beers are underrated and need to be more on tap in bars and restaurants. My Mr and I had some drinks on a Saturday afternoon. The place is gorgeous! The outdoor patio has plenty of seating with a fire pit. On weekends they have food trucks. They only food they have on their menu is the a soft pretzel. The inside is open with tables, lounge chairs/couch, rocking chairs and swing seats. I loved the feel of the place! Very laid back and cozy. We didn't want to do a flight so we got a couple of pints: -Winter Lager $6.00 a pint -New England IPA $7.00 a pint -Boston Lager $6.00 a pint -Cream Stout $6.00 a pint They do have growlers to go and merchandise for sale. We had such a great experience that we can't wait to hear back again!

Great patio for enjoying the nice weather. Sam Adams Taproom is nestled between a couple of quiet tree-lined streets not far from Central Parkway. I enjoyed a couple of hoppy lagers here last weekend with a couple friends. Despite the decent-sized patio and nice weather, they were not terribly busy. The biggest drawback is that they aren't open too late at this time - closing sometime between 6 and 8 PM Thursdays through Sundays. I would definitely visit again when the weather is nice.

Another OTR brewery taproom, I know what you're thinking. How is the Sam Adams iteration any different from Taft's, Rhinegeist, etc? Well, to start, the space is very open and the focus here is definitely drinking. They have 12 tap options (brown ales, bocks, white ale, creamy stouts, dry hopped lager, etc). A flagship feature that is being offered (I have never heard of this anywhere else) is a set of 4 tap tanks that pull beer directly from the back room fermenter. That means it'll be the freshest beer you've ever had - and it's exclusive to the Sam Adams taproom. Once each batch is gone it's gone! They also have their gluten free cider in the bottle. Which brings me to the one downside: food options. The only food offering at present is the housemade pretzels. However, the outdoor patio (at the edge of Elder & Logan) is soon to be host to food trucks! They have a ramp and propane hookups and will be inviting different vendors to serve rotating food at their picnic tables. So don't come here ready to eat just yet (but never fear, you're one street away from Findlay Market and most importantly Harvest Pizza). Can you imagine having a few beers here and walking over to grab an arepa? Drool. The interior industrial design is super cool. It has a renovated warehouse vibe (it's part of the old Warner brothers building) and showcases open areas with brew tanks, beer glass chandeliers, etc. There's a bunch of large tables for groups and small lounge areas to meet up with friends. All of the concrete, leather and metal make for an environment that could be dressed up for a fancy rendezvous or just slammed down casual in the corner. The bar wraps around the entire room - they definitely mean business. Parking is super easy at the Findlay Market lot (c'mon it's free for 1 hour, $.50 for 2 hours on weekdays, can't beat it). There's also metered parking on Central Parkway and Elder St. Get here! The Sam Adams Tap Room is sure to be a Cincinnati favorite. Whether you are a beer snob and want to try their microbrews or you have a Sam Light swine palate, you're guaranteed to find your perfect brew.

Great place go before the FC games. Beer is always good and the pretzels and pizza is 5 star!

The Taproom might be too trendy for me, does that make me an old person? The newly opened taproom was the only place on my list post-Pedal Wagon Birthday Celebration. We planned on ending our night here with great beers and company. The beers are great. We tried a flight and absolutely loved the porter, winter ale and 513. I've always loved Sam Adams beer so I knew I'd be happy with any choice. 5 stars on the drinks and 4 stars on the big pretzel with mustard and cheese (was somewhat pricy at $6). The crowd, however, was too millennial for me. And I'm a millennial haha! I think I'd like to maybe try it again once the popularity of a newly opened taproom dies down. It was basically fraternity on fraternity on fraternity. Aesthetically it's very pleasing here! We opted for the patio and it beautiful but the locks on all of the tables and chairs really take away from it overall. I understand not wanting things stolen so I overlooked it. On to the tables and chairs, I love the big long picnic tables but they absolutely do not dry off easy. It had rained about 8 hours earlier in the day and the tables were still all wet, even after we got a rag to dry them off. This was annoying. No matter what, we were sitting on wet benches and wet tables. Parking sucks, bad, on a Saturday night, too. I just wasn't overwhelmingly happy with my visit here, other than the beer.

Great place to stop in for a beer, relax in the comfy chairs, sit by the fire, play games with your friends, sit outside or eat at the food truck. Love this place, and it's in a great location. They also have a great giant soft pretzel.

Nice place to visit when you're near Findlay Market, just a block over. The beer is delicious and the bartenders are friendly and nice. As assumed from a taproom the beer is mouthwatering and makes you keep wanting more - in my case three more glasses. Throughout my time here we had a few questions and multiple bartenders were there and always answered the questions. I asked about a LBGTQ poster they had up and they gave me one and offered others that they were going to disposing of too. The patio area was nice with multiple picnic tables available to sit at. The special/locally brewed beer makes this place special knowing that you can't get the dreamsicle beer everywhere. I wish there was something like this where I live.

Get the orange cream beer, you won't be disappointed! The vibe is cool with leather furniture and cozy seating.

We walked in the joint for our first time on a Tuesday and I can safely say this can be a regular hang out spot. They have a huge outdoor patio that has games and that night a pop up food tent. Alicia was our bartender and she is phenomenal, I love how well she knew all the products and she was so great about picking out a recommendation based on my palette. Alicia, can't wait to come back and try another yummy beer with you for Silent Disco Night!

Finally Samuel Adams has a taproom in Cincinnati, after years of fans asking for one, as most of their beer is brewed right here in Cincinnati at their plant right at the Northwest corner of Liberty & Central Parkway. The taproom fits right in the Findlay Market neighborhood and is situated on the first floor of the Film Center apartment development. A friend and I stopped in on a Tuesday night, they have a doorman to check ID's and we sat at the bar, we were greeted right away by the bartender and given the current tap list. I wasn't sure what to try as I enjoy a variety of beers, the bartender let me sample a few to help me make my final decision. They have their flagship Boston Lager, Sam Adams 513 and a variety of others on tap. As most of their beers are made across the street, they are trying out a few smaller batches right there in the taproom - The Berliner Weisse is one of them which was my final decision. They do have an outside patio, which should be busy on nice warm days. Clean bathrooms in the back with a cup holder above the toilet, now thats handy and haven't seen in any other tap room. When you're in the Findlay Market area, stop by the Samuel Adams Cincinnati Taproom.

I love Cincinnati beer! And the massive number of taprooms gives me so many great options to enjoy a pint of local beer. But there's something special about getting a Sam Adams Taproom. They have such history in the craft beer world as well as in Cincinnati. The location is perfect as it is right across the street from their Cincinnati brewery as well as walking distance from Findlay Market. The space itself is beautiful. Lots of different seating options and a massive beer garden. And what makes it even better is they have a small brewing system on site where they are making taproom only beers. This is a truly unique offering from a large brewery. If you are a fan of beer, this is a must try spot!

Decided to try this place for the first time on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy, but not one of those obnoxiously busy places where you can't get a drink for ages. In fact, we were immediately greeted by the bartender, who was very pleasant and happy to welcome first time customers. The interior is gorgeous - I really love how they gave it a modern yet comfortable look & vibe. Outside looks like it is going to be amazing in the summer time! It has picnic tables and pretty lights strung across. To be honest, I haven't really had a lot of Samuel Adams beers in my life, so my boyfriend and I ordered a flight of the beers they make in house. I was pleasantly surprised! My favorite was the session IPA, which was light and reminded me of summer (perhaps I was day dreaming of sitting out on their patio this summer a little too much). I think it's really cool that the location is right by Findlay Market -- I picture a lot of stops at the taproom after a day at the market in my future.

I definitely consider myself a beer geek and have been a Sam Adams fan for many years, so hearing they were building a tap room here in Cincinnati was all the influence I needed to wanna check it out. I look at Sam Adams as a true catalyst for the American craft beer movement, have met the founder/brewmaster Jim Koch, and I have a great deal of respect for both he and his brewery. This taproom itself has a very laid back and casual atmosphere as well as plenty of seating. They have a big outdoor seating area too complete with a fire pit for colder days. I really dig their indoor porch swing style seats. Their beer menu is very nice, and though they only have one food option (massive fresh-made pretzels w/ Sam Adams beer cheese), they have food trucks on Fridays and Saturdays. They also have growlers and Sam Adams attire for sale. Enjoy a pint or even have a flight. My lady and I came on a Saturday and our experience was definitely top notch. We started out with a couple pints, Winter lager and a New England IPA, and sat on one of the porch swings. I love the relaxing feel here! After our first round, we opted for another, going for a cream stout and a Boston lager (always a great go-to). This is an excellent taproom from top to bottom and a great addition to the area. My lady and I will certainly be revisiting sometime. And if Jim Koch happens to read this, thank you for all the great brew!
