Wow! This place is incredible. It exceeded my expectations in all ways! Service: The whole place is self seating but FULL service! I came for the grand opening on a Thursday during lunch rush and all of the staff were wonderful like they have been training weeks for the opening. Food/drinks: The food came out hot, fast, and delicious. I am vegetarian and got the tofu sandwich (highly recommend). I don’t drink beer typically but the Madtree beer hits different. My favorite is shade (it is like a sour). They also have special crafted cocktails on draft if you aren’t a beer person and I think like full bar options. The prices for drinks and food are very reasonable. I also love that they recycle and they also compost extra food, napkins, straws, and other things. Atmosphere: It was such a warm and welcoming space. The space is huge! They have a patio area (includes many tables, 4 fire pits, and a playscape in progress), a lounge area, a huge bar, and a traditional dining area. There are also 2 good size event spaces. It’s like a combination of Alcove and the Oakley taproom. Has a more casual, bar feel but also very great dining experience. There is also a kids play area inside with a real repurposed camper and many games for kids and adults both. I also love the living wall and ferns hanging around the space. It truly encapsulates the sustainability and community focus of the company. Accessibility: there is a calming room, universal changing station (in family restroom), sensory kits, all entrances are flat and wide, lots of wheelchair accessible seating (even at bar), and the outdoor playscape was designed by children in the disability community. In summary, you’ve got to see it for yourself to believe it!

Friendly grand opening vibes from Jamie (PR), Lauren (Bar) and staff, very big open space and excited for this spring/summer to see the kids activity outdoors area (still being built :/ ), for the food I decided to try their steak and eggs "Cowboy Breakfeast", the steak was cooked to perfection at a Medium Rare, it did lack flavor, no mineral salt, no sauce or any type which made it taste just like a bland steak, eggs were bland (herbs didnt cut through (maybe not so fresh? But looked fresh)... a little salt here also out of gone along way, the hash balls were also good but same bland i feel like a special mad tree sauce would be a hit with this dish... over all experience 4/5, but i dont believe in negative reviews as a whole. Will be back when its warmer to check out their play area with my daughter.

Really great experience, very different from most breweries. This is really a casual American restaurant. It features full wait-staffed table service, a full food menu, and a very balanced beverage menu with standard beverages as well as beer, wine, and cocktails. This might throw off usual Oakley MadTree fans, because (a) they only have a standard set of 7 MT beers, no rotating taps and (b) the atmosphere is very different, more like a big, very bright and open restaurant rather than a brewpub or typically brewery. Service was friendly and very good. Food was actually quite good, kind of standard American sandwiches and such, but everything is freshly prepared, not prefab, and all of what we had was well done and tasty.

MadTree Parks & Rec in Blue Ash is a fantastic spot for a fun outing! The space is awesome, with a great atmosphere both indoors and out. The service is super efficient, so you won't be waiting long for your drinks or food. And speaking of drinks, MadTree's beers are always a hit - they have a great selection to choose from. What really sets this place apart is the family-friendly vibe. It's a perfect spot to bring the kids, with a fun play area where they can burn off some energy while you relax near the camper. Whether you're a beer enthusiast, a family looking for a good time, or just someone who appreciates a well-run establishment, MadTree Parks & Rec is definitely worth checking out!

What a great new way to define "bar!" Kid and family friendly yet defined in sections based on crowd type. It can get loud as it's an old hanger but with the partial carpet, living wall, it makes it surprisingly cozy. Play area adds whimsy as well as a fun way for them to have fun while the parents relax for a minute. Food wise it's pizza, sandwiches, and bar food faire. Update June 2025: had pizza, fried pickles, and a couple of drinks. They lost a star. Food was mid/low, pickles were decent, drinks were ok - not amazing. Staff were good.

Had to check out MadTree Parks & Rec opening weekend. It was busy (as we expected), but overall what seemed like a good atmosphere. They don’t have all the beers on draft you can’t at the main location but they did have all the staples. Ordered a pepperoni pizza that was tasty in addition to some fries as an appetizer. Service was a touch slow dude to opening weekend volume, but we expected that. Outdoor playground and space isn’t quite done yet, but looks like it will be a fun place for kids once complete. Will definitely be back!
