The beers rotate and we have always found something we liked. It is a simple place with long tables and chairs. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and try to get to you quickly. You need to go to the bar to get a beer but there is usually not much of a wait. Food trucks usually provided food but they have the pizza company that used to be at MadTree. We enjoyed the pizza at MadTree so assume it will be just as good here.

We booked an event space for my daughter's graduation and had the best time. The staff was amazing!!! So kind and helpful and you could tell that they really enjoyed their jobs. They took such great care of us and the the beer and drinks were top notch! Thank you for helping us plan such a great night.

My review is based on the events only since I haven't tried their beverages. I've been here before for an engagement party and a painting class (final result pictured) and it's a great place to hold an event. Previously, food trucks would frequent this brewery but now Catch-a-Fire pizza has established permanent residency. The food there is delicious addition to the events located here. The painting class was one of the many fun events they host in addition to trivia nights and other crafty hobbies.

Good selection of beer. Good pizza.

Had a sneak preview of Catch a Fire pizza that was just recently added to West Side Brewery. The pizza crust was authentically oven fire baked. We ordered the Constantine. It was deliciously made.We also ordered some wings with some great choices of sauces. The staff was fast and courteous taking our order and served it piping hot at our table. They know what they are doing and it will be a great asset to the brewery.

Rotating menu of events visitors may happen upon yoga, trivia, calligraphy or a comedy show, just to name a few. The taproom is a decent-sized building with private seating in the back for parties. One fun feature is the large windows with bar-height stools along the outside, perfect for people watching - on both sides. The brewery doesn't offer food trucks anymore, but they do have pizza! Soon you will people watch from above, when the rooftop bar is open. Enjoy your ale, IPA, mixed drink, wine or soda. Partake of cider or get your growler fills on here. Parking is behind the brewery, on the street, or the lot at Harrison & Urwiler is $2, but the parking receipt earns you $2 off a beer (cha-ching!). Like many breweries today, expect to see families and children. From 9:30-11 (12 Friday and Saturday) the brewery is adult only. I expect the rooftop will remain 21+ at all times. During busy hours, the line at the bar can get fairly long, but staff is efficient and the crowd is pretty laid back.

A coworker had their church fish fry there tonight. I do not drink beer, was awesome that the bartender was able to concoct a whiskey and cranberry drink for me.

No better place for a gluten sensitive person to be on a Friday night in Cincinnati! Jordan and Ryan were energetic, kind, knowledgeable and patient with all our questions :) can’t wait to be back.

I wish there was an option to give zero or negative stars. I will never be back and will make sure I let all my friends with families know they won’t be welcomed either. We had one beer and were told that our children were not welcome because it’s a “brewery not a playground”. The “security” guard also stated and that it’s a “liability if a kid falls on the concrete”. Not only is this inaccurate, it was a clear indicator that this individual doesn’t understand the word liability or the impact of negative customer service. All this despite our two small children did not break anything, scream, or disrupt any other customers. Ironically, there was a baby shower being hosted there.
We got 15th place in trivia :'(

Rude staff.
Odd layout, incredibly small drink selection. Most of the staff was pleasant. Uncomfortable seats.
Great selection! Great location! And nice atmosphere!
Great place to drink
Top notch!
