Esoteric Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Cincinnati

Esoteric is a Minority owned establishment where everyone feels welcomed. This isn't your typical Brewery. This a Brewery and lounge.. The lounge area have dividers between the seating areas to make you feel a little more comfortable while partying during a pandemic. They also offer extra outside seating and space to reserve private events. We were actually there at the same time a bridal shower was taking place. If you're hungry, there is a Taste of Belgium food truck that you can either walk out to, or place your order from inside. How cool is that??? Let's talk about the Yolo band that performs there Friday nights. If you haven't been blessed yet, go and get anointed by Yolo.. lol. I'm not that old, but I'm old school and Yolo sings it all from old to new school. The staff is so friendly and if you're not familiar, you wouldn't know that the owners are also out taking orders and running drinks.. and teaching the proper way to drink their flights! If you want to get a heads up on the different brews they offer, check them out online. The prices are very reasonable and the flights were more then I can handle.. drink wise!!! Karma is one of my favorites, but there are also so many more goods ones. Just please check them out and show your love and support...

I've been at least four times now, and I can't say enough positive things. I'm not really a beer person, but I'm going for a growler of Kalima Coffee Cream Ale for my birthday next week! The glassware is beautiful and apparently used appropriately for the beer styles, according to my much-more-knowledgeable brother. The aesthetic is gorgeous: open, clean, simple, beautiful. The Taste of Belgium food truck is on point: delicious, reasonably-priced meals and snacks. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The owners are AWEsome, kind, and generous. The place is Covid-safe, and they take their precautions seriously. (One of my friends got politely hailed back to the door to get her temp checked when she walked by the station to greet another friend.) Many guests were wearing masks even while seated. The patio is open, and there are fire pits and complimentary s'mores kits and clean dog water bowls for each new furry guest. Seriously. Get yourself to Esoteric. You...

My friends and I stopped in on a Friday evening and had a wonderful time. The place was spacious, clean, bright, and inviting. We sat in the middle room between the patio and front room, which was a perfect place to hear the saxophonist playing that night but also easily have a conversation.

The staff was outstanding, personable, made great recommendations, and always made sure we had a drink in front of us whether it was beer or water.

The beer! I think between the three of us we managed to try all of the beers on tap, I actually had a flight because I couldn't decide what to get! There wasn't a beer we didn't like even though I prefer dark beers and my friends tend to lean toward the lighter side.

Unfortunately, we didn't eat while we were there has we had had dinner beforehand so I can't attest to how the good is, but based on our experience I highly recommend checking this place out. I know...
