Great selection but make no mistake, this is a supermarket FIRST: you need to really look to find helpful staff. That being said, the selection really is top notch and I’d count this along with Party Source and Dilly Deli as the best spots in Cincy for brew selection. They also have a very respectable selection of glassware and homebrew supplies,

Visited this past weekend. If you are to visit, give yourself at least an hour. This may give you enough time to scratch the surface. Very nice beer selection. They had most of the well distributed stuff from Cali, just about all that the East Coast/Midwest has to offer, and a wide variety of foreign beers. International food section was huge. Service seemed to be pretty good. Prices weren’t all that bad, normal for craft beer. Must see for Cincinnati.

Jungle Jim’s is huge- expect to be overwhelmed. A ton of food, and I barely scratched the surface as far as that goes. The beer selection is excellent. It didn’t have a couple things that I heard might be here, but nonetheless I got the regular and BA BORIS the Crusher, Thirsty Dog Imperial Stout, plenty of Southern Tier beers, a few Great Lakes I had to try, and a few other things before I could take no more of my girlfriend’s disapproving looks. Most of the big American microbreweries are represented (tons of Rogue and Stone, decent AleSmith shelf, some Bruery and Hoppin Frog), there are a lot of good international beers, and a decent shelf of sours, lambics, saisons, and the like. There were 4 different Cantillons when I was there, though I passed on them this time around because they would have racked up my bill even more. However, the prices here overall are very fair, either comparable to what you’ll find elsewhere in the region or a little less. A few were more expensive than expected, but I blame Ohio laws for that. Good, helpful staff. Recommended to any beer seeker in the area. Main downside: this place is in a distant suburb of Cincinnati, so it sucks for city dwellers like me and anyone coming from south of the Ohio River.

This place is the grand daddy of beer stores in the Cincinnati area. Everyone in the tri-state area knows this. Only the Party Source is mentioned in the same breath. Because of the enormous selection, watch your dates if they are provided.

I’ve never really thought about supermarkets as an attraction, but this place is definitely tour-worthy. Jungle Jim’s is an attraction unto itself, and has a great selection of beer, much as it has a great selection of pretty much everything it sells - olives, cheese, hot sauce, honey, - really everything! I’ve derided both beer pricing and selection in Ohio since I moved to here from Wisconsin a few months ago, but Jungle Jim’s is a definite exception...it is by far the best beer selection I’ve seen in OH, and while I feel I’ve been victimized by Ohio’s minimum-markup laws, I feel like the prices here weren’t bad. They have mixed-sixes, although the pricing and selection on the mixed-sixes weren’t great. But the bomber and six-pack selection were great, and while the place isn’t cheap, it is not as bad as other beer stores I frequent in OH. I didn’t speak to anyone here; no idea what service is like here, but it’s a grocery store - other than getting help finding the hoisin sauce and the Boboli, do you expect from a grocery store?

I asked around for THE store in the Cincinnati area that I must go to and time after time Jungle Jim’s came up as a place to experience. In a word, WOW. According to their website this place is 6 acres and expanding. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. There are several rows of just beer and that’s all I was there for anyway (although I would like to go back with more time to spend and fully experience everything this place has to offer). They boast over 1200 different beers. If that’s not enough to provoke a beer geek’s interests I don’t know what is. This place is an absolute must.

Holy cow! Food paradise! We only spent an hour here and felt like we barely brushed the surface -- cheese, meat, olives, spreads, breads, everything food -- then move on to the beer and wine selection. Very nice!! We will definitely be making a monthly hour-long trek here just for the latter, not to mention the quality foods.

It’s a great place to buy beers, especially those that can’t be found in Indiana. Nice selection, reasonably priced. They expanded the American craft/microbrewed section by adding more shelving. Not really certain they added more varieties but it looks like it.

This is a really great place for beer!They have a really good selection of Lambics that I haven’t seen at other bottle shops.The guy working there when I went had a good knowledge of beer and was very helpful when I finally got to talk to him.The place is always busy,so if you have a question or two and need assistance you will have to wait.I’m giving this place a higher rating for ambiance because this is the ONLY place I know where I can get a Cantillon,a good cigar,and walk down another aisle and pick up some fresh Rainbow Trout!!Love this place and if your in the area definitely check it out!!

Awesome place, good beer selection with a decent size wall of singles. But what makes the trip worth it is really the grocery part of the store. If you find yourself anywhere near Cincinnati do yourself a favor and take a trip up here. Chances are you will end up spending hours browsing.
