The Pub - Rookwood

Visited on a Wednesday for a group event. The design of interior and exterior is very much the country pub of yore, though tastefully done with localized finishings. Our event was in a side room, it was a bit tough to get a sense of overall beer selection - server mentioned 20+ draft, 3 cask and a solid bottle selection. I drank a few MadTree’s and was quite happy. Food was tasty as well, good service.

70 = ★★½ (Locals should check it out, visitors with extended time)

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

A European pub in Rookwood Pavillion with a nice atmosphere. Service is decent, as is there beer selection, although it’s heavy on predictable English and Scottish drafts. Good bloody mary’s though (get the Nicholson). Food is good and the value is alright. Worth a stop if you’re in the area, but nothing worth seeking out.

Located near the worst intersection in Cincinnati (Madison/Edwards), The Pub is the go-to spot for beer drinkers in the Rookwood Commons development. I like to have a cold one here while the girlfriend is at TJ Maxx or whatever other stores are in there. Exterior is modeled after English pubs, complete with red-paneled phone booth. A little gimmicky, but oh well. The inside is mostly finished wood with brass rails. This place gets really crowded on weekend nights but otherwise it’s not too terribly hard to get a table or booth. I remember 20+ taps (I’ll take Tmoney’s word for it with his count) and didn’t count up the bottles. Mostly the common English, Irish, and Scotch beers on tap, plus some American micros and rotating cask selections. Nice selection of Scotches. From this company, I prefer Nicholson’s in downtown Cincinnati, but this place is good, too.

I have been to the one in Crestview several times. This place surprised me by having a preety good beer selection in comparison to the Crestview location. On draft they have a fairly wide selection (mostly U.K.), but their bottle selection includes several craft beers (DFH, Stone, ect..).

Easy to find location with limited parking. Interior is wood and brass bar with booths of bar tables. Very open with good lighting. I counted 23 taps and 4 engines with 30 plus bottles. Good scotch selection. Good english pub menu and apps are good if you want light meal. Upscale pricing and more of an adult location. Good upscale location.

The handcrafted bar at the center of this pub is very cool. Many English beers and a few American Micros on tap. One beer engine that they rotate a cask in and out on. Solid bottle selection but not spectacular. Pretty nice place to go and hang out. Many Single malted Scots.
