Northside brewery Humble Monk Brewing announced over the weekend that it will be moving from its current location next month.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Humble Monk is in search of a new home for our taproom and brewing operations,” the brewery shared on social media. “We plan to continue sharing our craft brews with our community through packaged cans and kegs and will continue selling our merch online if you’d like to support us through this transition.”

Humble Monk says it hopes to be able to announce a new permanent location soon. The brewery, which specializes in Belgian-style beers that are a mix of Old World recipes and experimentation, opened at 1641 Blue Rock St. in 2019. Its final day in that location will be Saturday, June 22.

22 Hidden Bars, Lounges and Speakeasies in Cincinnati

Comfort Station 793 E. McMillan Ave., Walnut Hills From the team behind OTRs Sundry and Vice comes Comfort Station. This cocktail bar is located in a century-old Walnut Hills rest area. Without much signage outside, guests enter via the original women's room door  now painted a beautiful bright blue  into an industrial and airy space with skylights, inventive cocktails and a living plant wall. A back patio and lounge creates an indoor/outdoor feel.

Somerset 139 E. McMicken Ave., Over-the-Rhine This sprawling drinking and dining destination offers an immersive escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, all tucked behind an unassuming front gate. Somerset features two bar spaces — one in the plant-filled and glass-roofed conservatory and another in the cozy lounge space. The bar serves both boozy and non-alcoholic cocktails.

Revival 5 E. Eighth St., Covington Revival isn't a speakeasy, but it sure does look like one. This vintage bottle shop offers up tastings and advice from friendly and knowledgable staff members who know the curated selection of bourbon like the back of their hands. In addition to educated sipping, Revival also has a collection of rare bourbons for sale and can give "dusty" collectors a professional valuation of their bottles.

Ghost Baby 1314 Republic St., Over-the-Rhine This subterranean nightclub/music venue is located several stories below Vine Street in a 170-year-old lagering tunnel formerly used by Champion Brewing (beer was aged and cooled in lagering tunnels before the advent of refrigeration). The historic, dimly-lit space, which has been vacant since the 1850s, features soaring ceilings with stone archways and decor that is adorned with "crushed velvet and unpredictability," according to the bar. Guests can expect an immersive experience with art, design, cocktails and live music.

Saeso 1208 Sycamore St., Pendleton If you're looking for an otherworldly escape without leaving the city, or a cocktail menu that takes the work out of ordering, Saeso might just be your new neighborhood bar. Christy Wulfson and Michael Guilfoil, the duo behind the petite Pendleton bar, created a space where they'd like to sit and enjoy a cocktail and invited you to join. You can linger, say yes to that second drink and bask in the terracotta glow.

The Blind Lemon 936 Hatch St., Mount Adams The Blind Lemon has been Mount Adams’ favorite backyard bar since 1963. Walk down a set of stairs to find a secret, little hideaway. Outside, the relaxed garden patio is like a boho blend of Bourbon Street and Paris café life. It’s one of the most romantic drinking destinations in the city.

The Lounge at Liberty Exhibition Hall 3938 Spring Grove Ave., Northside This watering hole is located in Northside's Liberty Exhibition Hall. It's a very low-key hang open to everyone. Specializing in live music and weekly Jazz nights, the bar offers cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic tea concoctions.
