Moerlein Lager House offers "great service and food" with an outstanding location near the ballpark. Patrons enjoy "amazing food and amazing staff" and the "fantastic atmosphere."

    It was my daughter's birthday and we had a nice dinner in a fun - pre reds game - atmosphere. It was a great night out.

    A bit noisy, could barely hear the person sitting just across the table. The food and drinks were very good.

    Busy night for a Tuesday with both the Reds vs. Yankees game and multiple other events happening simultaneously. The staff was visibly under a lot of stress but hustling nonetheless. We had a mixup happen with sides on my buffalo chicken wrap but the server(s) made it right in short order. Always a good meal at Moerlein!

    Had reservations for party of 11 on a night when there was a Reds game in town, we were seated in a timely manner, but had very slow service after that! No server came for 15 mins, until we had to ask for one. Waters took 10 mins after that, and our first round of beers took another 30 minutes! They were out of 2 beers on the menu, so I never got one at all. Food was great when it finally came out .

    Before Reds game with Yankees- very energetic crowd and quite full. Megan was our waitress, but the entire staff was very responsive with food and drinks. They are well prepared to handle the pre-game rush.
