Good 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!

Chris Thompson

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 Wittmayer

The 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 Anderson

An 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!

Meat & 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.

Dayna Leon

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 .

Ronald Vieira

The Moer burger , caprese flatbread , build your own awesome appetizers and a flight of locally brewed beer ! A must visit!!!

Joe Taulbee

The 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 Kiser

Short 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 !

Jeremy Caverly

Don't miss the Goat Cheese Fritter or Drunken Goat on the Meat & Cheese Boards !

Mike Cautero

Great 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.

Brian Strauss

Large 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.

Awilda

My 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 .

Know Theatre of Cincinnati

Our 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!

David Billiter

Food 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.

Francisco Morillo-Delerme

The 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 .

Jerry Dice

Huge space , good brews, but spotty service. Granted, it was game night, but short-staffed and difficult to keep the cold ones coming.

Jarrod Rollins

Bay of Bengal double IPA is a fave. Great short ribs for an entree or short rib grilled cheese for a sandwich

Kevin Welch

Eating a MoerBurger here before games 3 and 5 are my only happy memories of the 2012 NLDS. Get the MoerBurger.

Melinda Kiser

Pretzel appetizer was really good. Comes with 3 small loaves and cheese and mustard sauce .

Gabriel Morales

If you get the meat and cheese plate make sure to get the candied pork belly . I recommend skipping the prosciutto for something else.

LoneStar 950

Grilled tofu entrée was great. There are several plant-based options here. Always good service .

Erik Gray

A great addition to the riverfront. Thanks to the ownership for bringing Cincinnati's great beers home where they belong.

Rebecca K

the BEST CRAB CAKES I've ever had, bar none, including the best that Baltimore has to offer!

Karen

Try the chicken flatbread pizza - sharing for two, not one!

Jonathan Wolfe

Beer garden and upstairs are first come first served

Paul Steele

First class place to enjoy local brewed beers , great food , good entertainment, and great views of the Ohio river area

Liam Rolfe

The sandwiches are amazing and they have some great entrees like steak tips . Highly recommended.

Sharen

Splendid views - Delicious chicken scaloppini! Nice twist to a classic cordon blue! Awesome garlic fries

ᴡ Bowman

Forget about the extra carbs for the day and try the lager bread . You will not be disappointed.

Nela Lichtscheidl

Lunch combo ! Can't go wrong with that!! Two items for $11

jiresell

Great spot to pregame. Good beer and good food! The patio is awesome!

Allison Miller

Great atmosphere! Amazing food. Beer selection is fantastic..fun to try!

Philip Poonoosamy

The lowest level parking garage pays an homage to the home plate Riverfront Stadium . Respect...

Damian Bayona

Huge portions , low prices and nice views . The size of the burger is 🙀

Sopitas

Great options, and a nice variety of draft beers

Hans Cramer

The scene is very good. You should try the tray of cheeses and meats!

Matt W.

If 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.

Scott Gellman

Has a big and corporate feel, but has good homemade food and good beer !

Peter Schwab

LOUDEST 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!

Michael K

Love it here! Great, laid back atmosphere , beautiful view of river !

Kimberly

If you time it just right you can walk through the Pavilion and have your own private fire works show :)

Linda S.

Tables in the boot garden are great! The short rib grilled cheese is amazing!

Shawn F

Incredible brewery ! Beautiful building as well . Very impressed.

Kyle Bonestell

Wait staff , at least the one we started with, needs to be FAR more attentive. Let the diners know if it’s going to be a couple minutes before they can take an order.

Larry Robinson Sr

The Moerlein Christkindl ale is excellent!

Eric Hodel

Get a beer flight ! Why stick to one beer when you can sample four!

Rick Fox

The poutine was quite good. The beers are good as well .

Patrick Haney

The view is the only thing that doesn’t disappoint. The food is uninspired and the beer choices , while numerous, are middle of the road .

Sadie Taylor

The Applewood Chicken Salad sub tofu , is the perfect vegetarian dish on a nice summer day!
