Coming Soon

Walk into any drinking establishment or restaurant in Cincinnati, and you’ll likely find a carbon copy lineup of spirit brands stacked behind the bar. There’s a lot to be said about the comfort that comes with that kind of reliability, but uniformity can also get boring quickly. In the OTR Still House, we are geared to challenge the paradigm and elevate the masses. Boasting full service bars where you can order a cocktail made with liquor produced just a few feet away. 
​
​You can literally smell the grains and hard work of industrial men in this unknown corner of Over the Rhine. Yes, my friends, it exists. Finally. Hidden from the fresh paint of rehabbed first floor Over the Rhine within an industrial corner of OTR that has escaped modern renovation.

​A place where you can actually talk to someone without yelling or having your conversation drowned by overzealous crowds forced to gather in small places.  Plenty of free parking and 250 steps from the Cincinnati Streetcar Route. 

This beast of a compound beckons you after a long day’s work or travel. 

700 feet from the Streetcar at Rhinegeist. 1600 feet from Findlay Market...and did someone say "futball"? 

OTR finally has indoor and outdoor space...in..one..place.

"Instinct tells you, this belongs to you"

Knox Joseph Distillery will mill all the grain for its in-house craft batch whiskey, gins and bourbon.
Knox Joseph’s consultant Larry Ebersold has a lifetime of whisky and bourbon experience and works with our house PHD whisky scientist, Dr. Tom Asquith, bringing ancient spirit recipes reborn into the millennium. Head Distiller Chris Mitchell, learning from legends.



​Knox Joseph Distillery is the first legal distillery in OTR since prohibition. Distilling since 2017.
​


​Sophisticated drinks at our bar are decidedly modern, and will be paired with locally sourced meats, cheeses, and breads that are always local and ever changing, served from our future kitchen. For large events we have the space to bring in catering companies and maintain a fun innovative menu without taxing staff.

You can feel when something just belongs. Call it love, fate, destiny or whatever part of the universe that makes man move from the gut.
