A convenient brewery on Montgomery Road in the heart of Pleasant Ridge providing a very laid back atmosphere with friendly staff. Order at the bar from a small but very good pub fare selection along with your choice of drink, of course. The NG burger had a light and almost fluffy texture and the fries seasoned just right. Try the side of fried pickles with dipping sauce for something different. NG provides 2 rooms for dining for all family members. The tables/chairs/seating configuration inside are a bit sparten and it can get noisy but if these aren’t an issue then you will leave a satisfied customer.

Great brewpub. Friendly and comfortable. Awesome beer selection. Food was delicious. The Peruvian Grilled Chicken Sandwich was absolutely awesome! Bar staff was on point. This was our second visit, we will definitely be back again.

The reviews of Nine Giant Kitchen & Brewing don’t lie. They served me the Brilliant Corners (Belgian Quadruple aged in OKI 36% High Rye Bourbon Barrels for 14 months. Contains Belgian spices, distinctive malt, accentuated with oak, bourbon & vanilla). The taste/finish was phenomenal and surprisingly had a low IBU.
Along with the 12.9% quadruple beer, I ate their signature NG steak grind burger ($12+3 bacon) containing: secret sauce, house pickles/lettuce/tomato, caramelized onion, cheddar, caramelized mustard, on toasted challah bun). Wow, this smothered burger is ONE OF THE BEST burgers in Ohio.
Also, staff/bartender was very amicable and informative. Had I known earlier about the Fermentorium Fest that weekend, I would’ve attended. Keep up the great chef burgers and quadruples, Nine Giant!

Chill vibe here for weekend lunch. Some of the best fried pickles I’ve ever had. Salmon sandwich was excellent. And really nice beers. One of my favorite Cincinnati breweries.

We went there for the first time and it was such a welcoming experience. The staff were extremely friendly and made the environment very chill. The atmosphere was busy and bustling even for a Sunday afternoon which is great. I ordered off their brunch menu and got their breakfast burrito. It was delicious and very filling. Especially the habanero sauce on the side. Genuinely a great brunch item. Overall a great location to visit if you want somewhere to wind down and enjoy the food and drinks. They also have a decent selection of craft beers to try. Highly recommend you visit!

Can I say enough nice things about nine giant? Nope. Came here for the first time today, got there around 4:30 and stayed until 7:30 with friends. First, it is extremely clean. Second, the food is extremely good. Third, it’s a brewery so I was ready not to like the “beer”, however I had something delightful with skeleton in the name, it was deliciously fruity. Fourth, all the food was amazing. They have a small and seasonal menu, we had the Mexican street corn, nachos, and pretzel for the table. Fabulous. I had the chicken tikka masala which was perfect, better than I’ve had at actual Indian restaurants. Perfectly spicy without going overboard. Portions were generous. Their staff is efficient and clean, they cleaned up anything needed super fast and were friendly. We loved it. Exceeded any expectations I had for a place we just stopped into.

When I think of gastro pubs, I think of the standard bar food menu with a little twist, and perhaps a little less grease. Nine Giant pleasantly surprises with not just some great beers made in house, but also with a food menu that would contend with a trendy, higher end small scratch restaurant.
I saw on a website that they were rated as being in the Top 10 wings in Cincinnati – but I would say they are the best wings I’ve had north of the Mason Dixon line, and perhaps in the entire country. The pretzel was soft, fresh, and definitely made from scratch. The Peruvian Sammy, while perhaps not entirely “authentic” Peruvian, was an incredible venture into mixing some typically used ingredients in not-so-typical combinations from Peruvian cuisine.
This is a great find, and by far my favorite gastro pub to grab a bite and a brew.

The Pesto Chicken Mac n Cheese was delicious. However, I didn’t like the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Overall, I liked the vibe and service at this place. They also have a patio seating area in the back.

Surprisingly busy for a weekday night. But we were still able to grab a table after a short wait. The food was very good. The portion looked a touch small for the price, but was still delicious and satisfying. The beer was excellent!
