BarrelHouse No More
In an abrupt move (they they announced the brewery was up for sale for weeks), Barrelhouse owners today announced the bar/brewery had been sold, and would close after one final party this evening. And I didn't even see this until late this evening, so I didn't get to go up for one final pint and pizza! Damn!
They will be missed. Nice to see the beer stays in Cincinnati, and will continue to be sold under the BarrelHouse name, but that's bitter sweet with the loss of this great bar/live music venue. And it looks like they gave the 1st floor lease to the art academy, so there will be no replacement bar/restaurant, since the Art Academy went to court earlier to try to get ownership of the space.
