The Party Source

Big, wide open layout with high ceilings. Beer section is in the back to the right. Amazing amounts of wine and liquor, as well. Great collection of singles. Pricing is excellent. MUST stop in the Cincy area.

Huge beer, wine and spirits warehouse, which features the New Riff distillery in the car park, which is one of the leading new craft distillers in America. Guy who owns New Riff used to own Party Source. Inside there's a huge range of beers, both national and local and also international. You'll find something you'll like. Had Ten Fidy and Crooked Stave stuff in on the rarer side, otherwise just a huge range. Also worth checking out the great range of bourbon whiskies.

Visited on a Thursday evening. Easy to find just across the river from Cincinnati. Huge store, exactly as billed - pretty much anything you would need to throw a party seems to be here - balloons, glassware, napkins and booze, booze, booze. The beer is located in the far back corner, where the entrance to the 8 Ball brewery is. The beer selection is impressive, though much of the craft is stored warm. Single selection is solid, especially with local beers. Certainly a good stop for a traveler looking for some beers for the hotel.

82 = ★★★½ (Solid place, near the top of the list for locals and visitors)

I only use the total score, not the component parts.

massive beer section, lambics, sours, hard to get bottles, pricing was pretty legit for what I grabbed. Crowler station, walk in cooler for singles and other things

Funny exterior that looks like a big balloon shop, but this is most definitely a liquor store. Very large and open with little help of guidance. Beer selection is pretty big with lots of imports. Prices are OK and they have a sale table with some great deals. A must if you are in the area.

Massive liquor store and brewery. Lots on tap.

Ugh, just lost my rating. Anyway, I must be spoiled, because given the gigantic size of the place I expected more from the beer selection. Prices seem good, and there’s a section of singles which is also nice. I did find some nice beers on the bargain table, and I can’t say I’ve seen a better selection since I’ve been here. I’m sure I’ll be back.

Huge store with a huge selection. Didn’t know where to start but I managed to find a bunch to buy. Decent selection, kind of a funky layout though.

Visiting Cincinatti for the week left a lot to be desired in terms of selection partially due to Ohio’s 12% abv cap. Luckily I was pointed across the border to KY and stumbled upon a HUGE selection. I left with a CASE of Deschutes Abyss and a few other hard to find seasonals. Also nice to have the Ei8ht ball bar/brewery in the back that does a rare beer tapping every monday.
