Nine Giant - Cincinnati

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.

The food and service is great, but space is limited, especially if your party is larger. Just be aware of that during peak times. There's available seating out back which is doable during nicer weather. We had a party of six and there was no seating inside, but thankfully the weather permitted so our group sat behind the bar/restaurant outside. It worked out. The staff is attentive and pleasant. Not a ton of food choices, but everything was delicious on the menu that our party enjoyed. The home-brewed beer is excellent and there's enough flavors to satisfy almost any palette. Parking can be a challenge during busy times. We found a space on the street and there's a paid parking lot across the street for $6.00 which most people opt for. With countless brew pubs that seem to open up on a monthly basis around Cincinnati, this is one you have to check out. Nine Giant is all about the beer and delicious food it seems, which was fine by us. Thanks to the crew at NG for a great experience. We will definitely return to try more drinks and menu items. ?

Cincinnatians are fortunate to have dozens of fine breweries to sample. Most have outstanding beer and a few have excellent food. Nine Giant might be the best combination of the two. They offer a wide range of styles (lagers, ales, sours) that are always on the mark. But visiting only to drink beer is missing half the point as the kitchen serves a solid selection of food choices. A recent visit coincided with a Lenten Friday and we had the best fish lunch I can recall: Panko Haddock and pom frites.

Stopped in for a pint as part of the Cincinnati brewery tour. The beer was one of my favorites. The food was good, staff was friendly, service was quick.Food: 5/5

Just moved to Pleasant Ridge and came across Nine Giant. Great selection of beer and tasty IPAs. Smoke pulled pork nachos were soooo good. We’ve found our new local watering hole. Great spot.
