Bad Tom Smith Brewing — Restaurant in Cincinnati

This may be one of my new favorite breweries in the city. It's tiny, unassuming, and the beer is delicious! And tha tstaff is a lot of fun too.

This place is across the street and then the parking lot for Bella Luna, in what looks almost like a large garage. When you walk in theres a large menu board to the right, a large 'U'-shaped bar in front of you and picnic tables lining the frech glass doors that you can see and smell the beer brewing behind. They have a flight of all 6 beers on tap or you can get pints for $5. It's a semi tiny space and it smells like the grains brewing, but if it gets too hot they open the large garage door and its perfect.

The staff is super nice and friendly and will caht with you if you like. We got the run down of the name and the beers from who i believe is one of the owners. Their beers are a little different, but good different! It's totally worth a drive or a stop in to check them out! And if you're hungry they've got a few menus you can order from and pick up or possibly...

Tried Bad Tom for the first time today. I had a margarita, my husband tried the Finn Red Rye. He enjoyed his beer but I don't recommend mixed drinks as the bartender seemed inexperienced (she appeared to be Googling the instructions for the margarita and I don't think she used ice at all in the preparation). We also ordered food: BBQ Boneless Chicken, Pretzel, and Charcuterie Board. The chicken and pretzel were both good. The Charcuterie was cheaper than most ($15) but definitely felt it. I still enjoyed it though. We were allowed to bring our dog inside, which was part of why we visited, but the atmosphere could use work. I know we didn't go at a peak time (midday Sunday), but there weren't many people inside at all. It would have improved with more people, but maybe the location isn't ideal for that? It's in an old trust and they have kept the vault, which is a cool detail. We probably won't be back unless invited by someone else, but we're glad we...

Charcuterie or lunchable?

First time coming here as i pass by it once a week and wanted to try. Love a good brewery and had high expectations due to other great breweries in the Cincinnati area. Went here for a Saturday lunch with my fiancé. It was nice and slow and quiet which was nice. The only employee was a bartender, we sat outselves at a high top and we’re not served which was fine as i just went up to the not busy bar to order. Ordered 2 beers and a charcuterie board. The beer was ok, average at best. The “charcuterie board” however was an actual joke. The menu said 2 meats 2 cheeses and accoutrements. Upon arrival at our table, there was no cheese. The meats were bagged hormel pepperoni and some cheap salami lunch meat sliced into 4s. Some saltine crackers, some mustard and some jelly and some diced up olives. It looked like a joke honestly. Save your money and do...
