Anna HiderJune 22, 2016Great tater tots and smoked wings. Nellies key lime is a great beer but they have some adventurous porters and stouts too and a bat in the basement
Northern KY TomDecember 27, 2016Three visits and all have been great. The beer is some of the best in Cincinnati and so is the food. The sampler is the appetizer to go with and the tacos or tri-tip for the entree.
Avey S.July 2, 2015Beers I've had (so far): Cherrywood Amber & Gavel Banger IPA - both outstanding. Atmosphere is delightful (if a bit loud - after all, it IS an old church); smoked tri-tip is almost as good as my own.
Scott GellmanJune 4, 2015Absolutely great bar! It holds true to Cincinnati and has a German beer hall feel, but it's modern and beautiful in a renovated church space. From last week to this, the 6 of the ten beers incredible!
Josh WhelchelMay 23, 2015Come here for the beer. Amazing coconut lager and a killer chocolate porter. Stay for the beautiful church interior converted into a modern rustic ale house. Don't miss the lounge on the second level!
Nick HansenFebruary 6, 2017Love the atmosphere at this place! It's connected with the bar underneath. Be sure to show early as it does get busy. Great service and staff is courteous.
Jen CunninghamJanuary 1, 2018The atmosphere, food, and beer are all great! We stayed at The Symphony Hotel, which is within walking distance of Taft’s.
Gina GlickApril 15, 2016Pretty (former) church! First floor has long tables great for parties of up to 8. Tri-tip sandwich w pepper jack and chipotle sauce was amazing!!
Took a work group, had a great time. A bit loud, but terrific beer, beautiful furnishings, and the tri-tip made it very worthwhile! Park under Washington Park.
Julia AsakawaFebruary 25, 2017Very cool environment (it used to be a church) with good beers! Ask for the samplers
Jerry DiceJuly 6, 2015Best beer in the house is For Pete's Sake, hands down. Beautifully restored old church.
Smoked Wings were phenomenal! And the Bacon Cheddar is out of this world!
Amy CoatesMay 30, 2017Beer isn't spectacular but it's good and worth a visit for the amazing space. Sit upstairs for the best view.
Tony OwensFebruary 13, 2019Amazing building, good staff, pretty good beer. Definitely recommend stopping by
mishee deeMay 24, 2017Good food. Good beer. Great service. Ask about the building restoration. Incredible.
- Avey S.July 2, 2015Gavel Banger IPA, Cherrywood Amber. Those are the beers I've had (so far), others are sure to be good.
Emilio CJanuary 6, 2016The interior of this place is awesome. Some of the best steak sandwiches ever.
Tony Huntoon 🚬🐯November 1, 2016Good place to drink, food was not very good. Try the Chocolate beer. Very good.
Kenan FarrellJune 20, 2016Beautiful building. Wide selection of beers were very tasty. Wings were just okay.
