Rhinegeist 1910 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine The sun feels warmest on the roof at Rhinegeist. Or, at least, it sure seems like it when you have 360-degree unobstructed views of OTR. The brewery has amazing, crushable beers like Bubbles, Cincy Light and Cheetah that are perfect for a warm outdoor happy hour, but Rhinegeist’s cocktails are also surprisingly top-notch. A word of advice: Arrive early on especially gorgeous days if you want to secure your spot on the roof. Photo: Hailey Bollinger

We’re thrilled to announce that our Rooftop will reopen this coming Tuesday (5/19) at 12 pm, followed by our Taproom on Thursday (5/21) at 12 pm. While we’d love to open this weekend, we want to take a few extra days to finalize our safety measures. Things will be a little different obviously, and we’re implementing new policies to keep our team and our guests safe. We’ll post another update on Monday with all our new guidelines, but expect designated & well-spaced seating, table-side service, touch free payment, and separate entrance and exit points. In the meantime, curbside pickup is still up and running, as is home delivery in Cincinnati and Columbus. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a DM or reach out to taproom@rhinegeist.com. See ya soon!

In an Instagram post, the brewery said it will be opening the rooftop first, followed by its taproom on Thursday, May 21 — when Ohio is allowing indoor restaurants and bars to reopen while following the sector specific guidelines stated by the Responsible RestartOhio plan. 

Rhinegeist says there will be some changes to the brewery to keep everyone safe, with more details on those updates coming Monday.

But for now, guests can expect: “designated & well-spaced seating, table-side service, touch free payment, and separate entrance and exit points.”

Rhinegeist will also have their curbside delivery program and home delivery running until the brewery building reopens.

Rhinegeist is located at 1910 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine. Get more details at rhinegeist.com.
