They have so many varieties and seasonal beers. This place also has food.

Take the Cincinnati Bell Connector Streetcar
Definitely take the Cincinnati Bell Connector Streetcar for an easy way to get around without looking for parking. It will take you all over OTR and downtown Cincinnati including the Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium.
All my places are really close to the different stations!
