IS THERE A TASTING ROOM?

Our tasting room evokes the spirit of the Northern Row brand by embodying the character of Cincinnati’s deep brewing and distilling histories.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET TO NORTHERN ROW BREWERY AND DISTILLERY?

As we are centrally located in Over the Rhine, Cincinnati (near Findlay Market) there are many different ways to access Northern Row.  We are conveniently located within walking distance of two public transportation stops.

• Streetcar: We recommend taking the 100 train to the Brewery District stop!  This puts you at the corner of Elm and Henry Street.  Northern Row is located about 200 feet down Henry Street on the left.

• Bus: It is possible to take the 21 or 64 bus route to reach Northern Row.  We are located at the Elm and Henry Stop on both of these routes.

• Driving: Although we recommend other transportation options, driving/parking at Northern Row is a breeze. We recommend getting off I-75 onto Findlay Street and turning left on Elm Street, where you will go two blocks up to McMicken Ave. Turn Right heading East on McMicken, and once you see the historic APEX building you know you have arrived! Parking can be found on McMicken Ave. where metered and lot parking are available! As a note, we are one block east of Rhinegeist Brewery so this can be used as a reference point.

• UBER and LIFT: both service our location and can pickup and drop off in our parking lot

• Lime and Byrd Scooters: A fun way to visit us, but watch out for the streetcar tracks! They can be a dusie if you get your wheel stuck!
