Madtree Brewing - Cincinnati

Always a cool location. With jungle interior, huge patio space outdoors, wrap around bar in the middle serving inside and out. Friendly bartenders, cozy spots, and brewery dogs galore. The food past and present is consistently good (although can take a bit of time depending on the crowd).

The new kitchen inside MadTree opened last weekend after Catch-a-Fire moved out at the start of this year. My family and I are big fans of Catch-a-Fire, so we were sad when this all went down, but the food coming out of the MadTree kitchen is a solid replacement. We started with an order of cheesy bread, topped with garlic butter, mozzarella, and parmesan served with red sauce and ranch $9). There are four slices in the serving, enough for each of our family members to try a slice. Nothing crazy here, but solid bread and good sauce to go with it. We also tried the fries with Happy Amber BBQ and ranch $10). This was a massive serving of fries and their BBQ sauce is great. My favorite of the day was definitely the tasty taco pizza topped with taco sauce, cheddar, chipotle chicken, pico de Gallo, Doritos, guacamole, and crema $17.25 for the 12-inch). The flavor combination on this was superb and I was happy that this was served with chicken rather than the more common ground beef for a taco pizza. I will absolutely order this again as it is unique and tastes great! Our kids enjoyed the cheesy cheese pizza $11.50 for 12-inch). My son said it's not as good as Catch-a-Fire, but I stole a slice and found it to be a pretty good slice of plain pie. Overall the serving sizes are large, with the 12-inch pizza being more than enough for 2 to split. There are six pretty big slices, so it could be possible to share with 3 people and a snack on the side, depending on the hunger of the group.

The space here is awesome! They have a massive indoor area and a really nice outdoor area when it's nice out as well. Plenty of parking which is awesome too. Service is easy at either the indoor or outdoor bar. They had a restaurant inside but this is currently being renovated I believe. I REALLY want to like their beer more than I do, but I just haven't had any beers here that I love. This is the only reason for the 4 stars. They have a nice selection with good variety, I just don't love what they brew. They also have THC seltzers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. It's a cool spot to check out though for a drink!

This is a Cincinnati must stop!! We loved our experience here and would highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for something to do in the area. It was New Year's day so it was pretty slow/empty, but the atmosphere was still lively yet relaxing. There were families playing cards, people watching the game, grabbing a drink after work, it seemed very welcoming for everyone! We sat at the bar and I got a Boysen The Hood beer then a FireFly Nightlight- both so good! My friend got a Sangria- also great! The bartenders were helpful the hostess was very welcoming. We didn't plan on staying for too long but ended up hanging out and watching the game for awhile. This was a Cincinnati highlight, would highly recommend!

A visit to MadTree is always a good idea especially when that visit is paired with some Knotty Bread from Catch a Fire Pizza. MadTree is exactly the kind of community spot every neighborhood needs. This brewery has something for everyone and they 're doing it so well. A group of friends and I stopped in on a Sunday for a few hours of board games and we were surrounded parties of all ages having fun inside and out. The beer is always phenomenal, and I usually make it a point to try something new each time I come in. On our most recent visit, I quite enjoyed the Mangos Attack! as well as the Fiesta Forever. MadTree does a great job of tapping something for everyone and their new seltzers are just the thing for any non beer drinkers in your group. We had great bar service throughout our visit and even received some awesome recommendations from one of the bartenders. MadTree is a must visit for locals and out of towners alike!
