Over-the-Rhine is a historic neighborhood comprised of amazing structures both above and below the ground. Come and explore with us as we walk (approx. one mile total) and ride the streetcar to major topside landmarks such as Findlay Market, Music Hall, Washington Park, and the location of the Miam-Erie Canal. We'll also learn about it's underground history as we stop by several places from above, including the pre-Prohibition lagering facility of the Lafayette Brewery and Cincinnati's abandoned subway system below Central Parkway. Then we'll go three stories underground, where the Gerke Brewery fermented and cold-stored their beer dating back to the 1850s. This requires guests to traverse a series of steep stairs and is not recommended for young children or those who have difficulty with stairs, but anyone in attendance is welcome to remain topside. Our journey concludes at a local taproom, where we'll have a round of pints, just a few blocks away from our starting point.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Over & Under the Rhine Tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but it's not recommended for young kids due to the steep stairs involved. If you're considering this for someone younger, just know they can’t join the underground part of the tour, and you might need to keep an eye on them topside.

Q: What should we wear for this tour? Is it mostly outside or inside?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking a mile and going up and down some stairs. The tour has both outdoor and indoor stops, so check the weather before you go. A light jacket is a good idea if it’s cool out.

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes! If the weather is really bad, you can contact the provider to reschedule the tour. They’re pretty flexible about it as long as you give them a heads up. Just be sure to check their policy before booking.

Just did the Over & Under the Rhine Tour—so cool!

I went on the Over & Under the Rhine Tour last week and it was awesome! The history of the underground brewery was fascinating, and the steep stairs were a challenge but totally worth it. Plus, finishing up with a pint at the taproom was the perfect way to wrap it up. I think this would make a great gift for friends who love local history or craft beer!

Thinking of gifting this tour—thoughts?

I’m considering buying the Over & Under the Rhine Tour as a gift for my parents. They love exploring and have always been into breweries. I’m a bit worried about the stairs though. Are they manageable? I don’t want them to struggle.
