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.

I learned a lot about my hometown. It surprised me how much much history is condensed in that part of Cincinnati. It made me love my city even more. I enjoyed all of it, particularly the imperial theater tour. Our tour guides, Robert and Marcha knew so much about Cincinnati history, and their enthusiasm was contagious.
