Leah WarnerMay 2, 2017Good food and beer, great view! Moerlein has a fantastic view of the Ohio River. Go on a nice day and sit on the patio. Nothing compares to it. Get the fries with a side of beer cheese. So good!
Upvoted 5 days ago- The Moer Burger is one of the top five burgers I've ever had. The beef is perfectly seasoned and topped with pastrami, cheddar, an egg, bacon and sweet onion relish. Have a knife and fork ready!
John WittmayerMay 19, 2017The view from the upper floor was a wonderful overview of the city. The menu was eclectic with the food being very good and the beer selection was great. I want to go back.
Kelsey AndersonJanuary 23, 2015An incredible atmosphere, amazing food, and delicious beers. Tried the Emancipator Double Bock and it was amazing. We had a large group, so the server recommended the sampler appetizer...worth it!- I love everything on the menu from the Moer Burger to the crispy tofu to the OTR chicken and short rib grilled cheese. The Barbarossa is the perfect winter beer.
L BJuly 26, 2013Meat & cheese board appetizer was on point. My main entree was the meatloaf. So good! Atmosphere is great. Bathrooms clean but small. Overall, my first time here was a good one! I'll be back.
Ronald VieiraNovember 15, 2014The Moer burger, caprese flatbread, build your own awesome appetizers and a flight of locally brewed beer! A must visit!!!
Jeremy CaverlyOctober 6, 2017Don't miss the Goat Cheese Fritter or Drunken Goat on the Meat & Cheese Boards!- Joe TaulbeeJune 24, 2015The beer selection is top notch and the good is phenomenal. Would recommend the short rib grilled cheese or the charcuterie plate with the candied pork belly.
Melinda KiserApril 3, 2017Short Rib was one of the best things I've ever eaten! Top 5 food for me. The tomato based sauce on top was like icing on a cake!
David BilliterAugust 10, 2014Food is great. Get the fried pickles and anaheim peppers and you won't be disappointed. Only drawback is that is can get pretty loud in here.
Mike CauteroDecember 29, 2012Great service and food. I was pleasantly surprised and will return. It was my first visit as a non cincinnati native and this beats alot of local institutions.
AwildaJuly 24, 2012My husband couldn't stop commenting about how delicious the fish tacos were. Meatloaf is also quite tasty. And, you can't go wrong with the meat and cheese board.
Jerry DiceJuly 6, 2015Huge space, good brews, but spotty service. Granted, it was game night, but short-staffed and difficult to keep the cold ones coming.
Bay of Bengal double IPA is a fave. Great short ribs for an entree or short rib grilled cheese for a sandwich
Brian StraussOctober 15, 2015Large beer selection. Lots of local stuff. Good canned beers! A large food menu often foretells of mediocrity. The food is not as good as the beer. I liked it, but I'd explore other places.
Rebecca KOctober 18, 2012the BEST CRAB CAKES I've ever had, bar none, including the best that Baltimore has to offer!
Gabriel MoralesAugust 10, 2013If you get the meat and cheese plate make sure to get the candied pork belly. I recommend skipping the prosciutto for something else.
Francisco Morillo-DelermeFebruary 27, 2013The dopplebock is a good seasonal beer. Malty with a bit of a coffee finish. Really nice for those who like a little lighter dark beer.
- Melinda KiserApril 3, 2017Pretzel appetizer was really good. Comes with 3 small loaves and cheese and mustard sauce.
Liam RolfeJanuary 14, 2015The sandwiches are amazing and they have some great entrees like steak tips. Highly recommended.
Paul SteeleSeptember 9, 2012First class place to enjoy local brewed beers, great food , good entertainment, and great views of the Ohio river area
Peter SchwabSeptember 5, 2012LOUDEST bar/restaurant in Cinci. All hard surfaces inside, echoes like crazy. You can barely carry on a normal conversation with yelling. Good beer and view though!
Erik GraySeptember 3, 2013A great addition to the riverfront. Thanks to the ownership for bringing Cincinnati's great beers home where they belong.
Matt W.March 9, 2012If the theme is the history of Moerlein beers, it would have been nice to have a cask beer. The beers are nice and fresh however.
SharenFebruary 10, 2013Splendid views- Delicious chicken scaloppini! Nice twist to a classic cordon blue! Awesome garlic fries
KimberlyFebruary 20, 2013If you time it just right you can walk through the Pavilion and have your own private fire works show :)
LoneStar 950February 27, 2017Grilled tofu entrée was great. There are several plant-based options here. Always good service.
Allison MillerOctober 20, 2014Great atmosphere! Amazing food. Beer selection is fantastic..fun to try!
Ask for Sierra and Mary in the bar, or Michelle as a server. The short rib grilled cheese and onions soup are YUMM!
Michelle LAugust 16, 2012Food was wonderful and service was great. However, $26 for a cup of soup, thin sliced prime rib sandwich and a glass of ice tea. Rather expensive for us working class.
Philip PoonoosamyAugust 12, 2012The lowest level parking garage pays an homage to the home plate Riverfront Stadium. Respect...
Know Theatre of CincinnatiJuly 16, 2012Our partners at Christian Moerlein have opened an absolutely gorgeous and delicious restaurant and brewery at the banks. Sit on the balcony and overlook the river while you eat!
Great spot to pregame. Good beer and good food! The patio is awesome!
The Applewood Chicken Salad sub tofu, is the perfect vegetarian dish on a nice summer day!
Eating a MoerBurger here before games 3 and 5 are my only happy memories of the 2012 NLDS. Get the MoerBurger.- Patrick HaneySeptember 25, 2021The view is the only thing that doesn’t disappoint. The food is uninspired and the beer choices, while numerous, are middle of the road.
Love it here! Great, laid back atmosphere, beautiful view of river!
Lots of space to spread out. Too many choices for food, but beer listing is great.
Paul HeftiMay 12, 2012Try the Spatzle With Brussell Sprouts - So good. I came back to have it again. Deliciousness.
Todd GuilmetteOctober 11, 2013Definitely try the calamari it goes great with beer and its not breaded heavily.
Ashley RMarch 31, 2013Barbarossa Red on tap...bartender said it's 90% of the staff's favorite. Def worth trying!

"Cincinnati's first and finest gastropub. Food was amazing! If you like sushi, try the grilled ahi tuna sandwich. You won't be disappointed. and if you don't like beer you don't belong on a gastropub"

"This is a great, old-school arena without vertigo-inducing upper-level seats and great sound. Cup holders, wide concourses and adequate facilities are missing, of course, but that's part of its charm"
