Darkside of Brewing Tour: Tales of Cincinnati's Haunted and Gruesome Past

Overview

Join the Brewing Heritage Trail on this seasonal tour and learn about gruesome and macabre events from Cincinnati's past. Grave robbing, a serial killing saloonist, and other murderous and deadly mayhem is explored on this new tour, which also includes a visit to an abandoned city street, overtaken by nature, as well as a flashlight tour of the Imperial Theater and the 19th century Jackson Brewhouse. Both have not been open to the public in many years and their visitation is only available through this tour!

This is an outdoor walking tour of less than one mile and includes a beer at the Northern Row Brewery & Distillery. Some content may not be appropriate for young children, so please keep this in mind when booking.

Tours run rain or shine and guests should wear comfortable footwear, as the tour route covers a variety of paved and unpaved surfaces. All guests will be provided with a flashlight for exploration of darkened streets and the inside of the theater and brewhouse.

Highly recommend this really interesting tour of abandoned theatre and brewery in Cincinnati. Tour guide Lisa was especially good with history and extensive details from past to present. Her enthusiasm distracted us all from bitter cold. It was well worth enduring the cold for the in-person experience. Inspired me to research more history, having seen & felt the sites. And the Northern Row Brewery where it starts and ends is terrific repurposed building with cool huge bar setting.

Thanks for joining us on the tour and I'm so happy to see you had a great experience with Lisa and enjoyed Northern Row Brewery & Distillery! I hope we'll see you again sometime for one of the other great experiences we offer throughout the year (and in warmer weather!).
