    Excellent beer, 5 stars if not for the running and shrieking toddler. The food is very good as well. It's a separate place in the same building. Beer to go is available too

    We stopped here for a FC Cincy watch party and had a good time! I love how they have the untapped app up on the tv and you can actively see people reviewing! Drinks were good and well as the little food stand in the corner. The only downside is that the drink line is often long!

    Hey ....looking for a fine selection of beers near the new Liberty Costco? Well here is your best bet. Grain works always has a great selection of beers. They have food too. Outside seating is available. Parking on site. I'm never disappointed when we stop in for a few beers here .

    Relaxing vibe, average beer, unique atmosphere, pricey food, here's my experience in detail. Not a lot of parking when we showed up to trivia night. Tight spaces and half unpaved. The walkway to the front was cool, matched the aesthetic, there are some couches and tables to lounge around in, which we took advantage of during the sunset. Walking into the brewery, the "aesthetic" is very Vikingy - Nordic. Lots of barn doors, flags, barrels, wood tables. I thought the pint glasses as mason jars was a creative spin. Onto the beer, I went with a flight. Sours are my go to right now, always got to throw one on there. Grainworks has a cherry pineapple tart. I wasn't impressed. Light, slight tart flavor. The lime coconut donut sounded wild. Definitely unique, light, dash of vanilla, little lime, wouldn't wanna drink more than a couple sips tho. The sentinel, light again, there's some hop and juice to it. Watery and not super cold. Beertenders were cool and helpful, same with the kitchen staff. Which leads me to food, located in the other corner of the restaurant. They have some creative dishes, like the mac and cheese flight. Lots of Mac choices. Some burgers, wings, apps. The burgers were pricey, alot of it was so I went with the wings. Garlic parmesan. They were smokey, tasted good though. Flavor wasn't too intense but the others might be worth a try. Gf liked her chicken and Mac n cheese. Overall, I'm glad I checked it out. Not crazy about the beers but the atmosphere and potential food like burgers and apps is enough to come back.

    Great food. Order at counter and get a buzzer to pick up when ready. Lots of seating and a few party rooms. Game night and specials. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of beers on tap and a few in the case to take home.

    This was an excellent brewery to visit and eat at. The selection of their craft beers is nice, they also offer wine and cocktails. The food was great- especially for the typical brewery set up. We had the smoked wings which were very tasty. The night we went there was live music.

    All the food we ordered- burger, salad and Mac and cheese flight

    Enjoyed lunch on a Sunday afternoon and It was very relaxed atmosphere. Walk up to order drinks at the bar and food service was quick with walk up ordering. We did not drink but variety of beer options. Enjoyed the Mac and cheese flight but rank the burger as the best option from what we picked. Salad was fine and enjoyed the maple vinaigrette dressing. All staff were accommodating and helpful. Easy to park onsite and lots of seating options.

    Even though beer isn't my favorite drink, Grainworks was a really awesome place to hang out. My family and I sat at the bar and the bartender was really kind. It was an open and clean space. They also have rooms that you can reserve for events. Definitely coming here to celebrate some occasions this year!

Our server hustled and our drinks and food were provided quickly and accurately. The appetizers were the best food of the night, especially the pulled pork nachos and pub pretzels. Other shared bites ordered were the hummus platter and buffalo chicken dip with chips. I enjoyed my breakfast burger with the fried egg and fries. My coworker that ordered the shrimp po boy sandwich gave it a thumbs up. Most other items, including the pizzas and salads, got poor reviews. My friend noted the shaved brussels salad was one of the worst items he'd eaten. Plenty of beers on tap. The environment at Voodoo was awful, which became a laughing matter. We sat at a high top table made of pallets and the steel chairs were incredibly uncomfortable for some of our team to sit in. Several of us were sliding forward out of the seat and by the end of the night we were in pain having wrapped our feet around the legs to stay out. By the end of the night most of us were standing up at the table. Trivia was the nightly event. The music was loud and person leading trivia was fairly hard to understand over it. Our host that picked Voodoo thought it may be a fun activity for us but we gave up on participating. Lots of seating inside and fine for groups. Private parking lot. If you stop in, ask for a short table (also with bad chairs) and only order apps and beer.

This great wrap that I enjoyed was the least memorable part of my first meal at my new favorite place to eat and drink. Funny because it was the main course. Apparently, they brew everything they have on tap. Their shining star is an IPA called You Betcha! I don't like IPAs, but I love You Betcha! They have a grape variation of You Betcha which is flat-out delicious. Every time they'd stop by and ask if I want another drink, they got a progressively more sloppy, Fargo-accent laden "You Betcha!" Let's talk about their beer cheese for a second. I had it with some tortilla chips, but then ordered some pretzels with beer cheese. To be clear, they also sent out mustard with the pretzels and cheese. This beer cheese is now my favorite food and beverage. I think they should serve their beer cheese in a mug... with a pretzel straw.... it would be great for the ol' cholesterol. The staff ranges from plain friendly to snarky-yet-hilarious. The customers... were friendly. Like, the whole place was cool, and attracted cool people. It made for a fun evening. Highly recommend!

There are plenty of TVs throughout the venue, plus both indoor and outdoor seating areas. This should definitely be added to your summer visit list. I had the garlic parmesan wings. The wings themselves were cooked perfectly, but I personally did not enjoy the garlic parmesan sauce, so next time I'll probably order hot or buffalo instead. Just a heads up -- they do not allow mixing sauces, which is okay. They also have beers and alcoholic slushies available, but no cocktails.

    Please come to this restaurant if you are in the Cincinnati area!…read more First, I wish to state that I am not from Ohio and that this is my first time eating at Two Cities, but this restaurant might be my favorite pizza shop going forward. Second, I only had two of the items on the menu but so many of the other options on the menu looked amazing as well. This Two Cities was built inside the old city hall of Mason, with Mason being a cozy little town in of itself. The restaurant smells amazing upon entering, course it would because they cook their food fresh. It's even got a little ramp that leads down to the main seating area for mobility impaired persons. My first minor issue with this Two Cities was that the booth I was sitting at was slightly raised by a literal step, which nearly made me trip while exiting the booth because I hardly noticed getting into the booth due to my height (6'3 at the time of writing review). There are other booths though that are not raised, so an opinion is to be based of where you are seated. My waitress was really kind and offered a helpful opinion when I was deciding on which pizza to get after being seated by a host. The waitress also allowed me to put in my order all at once (drink, appetizer, and entree). The appetizer (garlic parmesan fries) arrived fast and were undoubtedly scrumptious; the fries were a near perfect mix of crunchy and soft with the shredded parmesan and minced garlic adding extra flavor. Their ranch is also superb. I got the 13" Rhythm Road Pizza (which I shared with someone. I could not eat half of a deep dish pizza alone) and it was something else. Most importantly, it had MASHED POTATO on it instead of a traditional pizza sauce and notably, chipotle aioli drizzled on top (there are more toppings, of course, but they're more normal toppings). Unfortunately, the pizza slices were unevenly sliced, leading to inconsistent slice size and the toppings slide off the pizza easily when scooped up with the provided pizza spatula, all minot grievances of course. The only true complaint I had with this Two Cities was that my waitress did not actively seek out to refill my glass when it was empty. I will say that my drink was not close to the edge for her to see, but it was within view from any view of the table. There were a relatively high number of customers in the restaurant for the time I was there (about an hour before closing), so I don't hold it against her for not noticing. The cups were average size, so I wasn't exactly dying of thirst while dining. The music inside was of good taste and was at a very respectable volume. The other patrons were also well mannered and I had no need to raise my voice to speak to my dining buddy. The final thing I wish to add to this review is how nice the bathroom was. They were very clean, had two urinals (short and tall), one wheelchair accessible stall, nice smelling soap, a simple water control handle, a foot doorhandle, and MOUTHWASH. This is only public building I have ever been in that has offered complementary mouthwash, let alone a bathroom. This could be an Ohio or Midwest exclusive thing, but I enjoyed using the mouthwash nonetheless.

    Stop by and follow my Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/BaldWhiteGuyReviews…read more Two Cities Pizza 202 W. Main Street, Mason, Ohio Day two of the great Ohio Collegiate travel expedition, and the Mrs. found a new pizza joint to try. We fired up the GPS and headed south to Mason, Ohio. Now, when I think of Mason, I usually think of big fancy houses, snooty HOAs, and Kings Island. But driving in? It totally gave me Washington C.H. vibes. Nice ranch-style homes, some with the neighbor's car chilling on blocks in the yard. Honestly? It was refreshing. Looks like they have all classes of people coexisting. It was comfortable, zero pretentiousness, and normal. Passed the vibe check, no cap. Let's talk about Two Cities Pizza Co. The concept is genius: Two friends wanted to spark the great pizza debate (New York Style vs. Chicago Deep Dish) under one roof. Why fight when you can just eat both? A true bipartisan solution this country desperately needs. The Vibe: They took over the Historic City Hall building downtown and it's incredible. Tons of character. They have plenty of outdoor seating--you know, for the psychopaths who enjoy eating outside during the 7 minutes in Ohio when it's not 100 degrees with 200% humidity or 32 below zero. But hey, if sweating in your pepperoni is your thing, it's there. Inside, the decor is on point, with air conditioning. They've got a wall that looks like the Wrigley Field ivy, subway-themed restrooms complete with the overhead transit handles (DO NOT TOUCH THE HANDLES ), and even fake pigeons up in the rafters. It's definitely giving main character energy. Great tunes playing too--Billy Joel, Chicago. Huge booths. Friendly staff. Shout out to Ivy. The Menu & The Grub: Cold beer and pizza. Name a better duo. I'll wait. They have everything: wings, calzones, and NY specialty pizzas with... mashed potatoes? Wait, what? They also offer cauliflower crust and non-dairy cheese for our friends who can't handle lactose. Here's what we shoveled down: Bootleg Bread: Basic cheesy bread but baked with garlic and herbs. The crust was great, and the cheese was thick and substantial. Very good! Perfect seasoning. NY Style Pepperoni: Delicious, exactly what you expect. A reliable classic. #Boring Bull and Bear Calzone: Stuffed with pepperoni, bacon, mozzarella, parm, and garlic. The crust was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Spot on. BUT here's the controversy... It came with their self-proclaimed "Famous Ranch Dressing." Look, I know people will fight literal wars over ranch in the Midwest, but I wasn't a fan. It had a strong Worcestershire vibe to it. A little too aggressive for my taste. Good for some, not for me. (The chunky "red sauce" was absolutely awesome, though!) The Plot Twist: A very nice surprise--they brought us a totally FREE order of New York Funnel Cake Donuts. Didn't ask, didn't pay. Maybe because it was our first visit? Or maybe they just respect the bald head. Either way, fried, tossed in cinnamon and powdered sugar, they tasted exactly like the county fair. Absolutely bussin'. Ask for them by name! The BaldWhiteGuy Rating: ‍‍‍‍: 4 out of 5 Bald Heads. Lost one head because I was severely disappointed in the "Famous Ranch". But heck if you like it, you can purchase a bottle. I will be making another trip to try out the Chicago Style Pizza. If you're near Kings Island, it's worth a stop. Great prices, great food. Tell them the Bald Guy sent you!
