What People Are Saying About Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brwry

In Short – Large raised booths and an outside dining area overlooking the square give the restaurant a festive, upscale feel for professionals stopping by from downtown businesses or anyone who likes their microbrews with a solid menu and a sporty atmosphere. Starters are for sharing, like nachos piled high with beans, cheese, tomatoes and jalapenos. The hickory cheeseburger is a favorite entree. Pizza, steak, ribs, sandwiches and salads are also available.

A Must-Visit for Cincinnati Beer Lovers
by wholtone at Citysearch
Love beer? Were you a little disappointed by the watery beer of the hofbrauhaus and the club atmosphere? You'll probably like Rock Bottoms, a brew pub right off Cincy's fountain square. Inside this place doesn't have the atmosphere of newport's hof, but the beer is much richer. This isn't a budweiser and natty light kinda place. This place is for real beer drinkers who know their stouts from their hefeweizens, or their IPAs from their bocks. Fountain Square is pretty happening these days so the place is never dead. The food is hit-or-miss. I've had hot, absolutely perfect pretzels and been given crappy, room temperature appetizers too. So how nice your experience will be here is a flip of the coin, unless your a fan of beer--which is consistently good. They have a GREAT irish stout, and Fire Chief ale is quite memorable--unfortunately, both are seasonal beers. Me and a friend usually walks there. It's fountain square so parking can be painful.
- Pros: very good beer, good location
- Cons: food and staff is hit-or-miss, may be hard to find a seat on busy nights

Table for twelve
by Gertrudis at Citysearch
The restaurant is right on Fountain Square which is pretty cool. We made reservations for 12 people as we had family in from out of town. They obviously were not ready for us as the waiter at first was going to seat us in two tables. They quickly put two tables together for us. There really is a lot to choose from on the menu and a good variety of their beers. Almost everyone was very happy with their food. They have a great sampler as a appetizer. The only problem we had was that they did not have all the food ready at one time. Four people were served and the rest of us sat and watched them eat. Then they brought over maybe four more servings. And later the rest of us were served. The waiter said he was going to talk to the manager. I understand it was a big party; but they are in the business and should be able to handle that. Other than that it's a nice chain restaurant.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Management
