Kantine Biergarten Wine Bar Eatery

Great find - unassuming location and incredibly friendly service- and the food was great. Jägerschnitzel is not breaded, but nice and thin and tender with a fantastic mushroom sauce and Knöpfle or Spätzle. Currywurst was excellent with homemade tomato/ketchup sauce and Curry powder. Fantastic beer selection.

Fantastic, authentic German experience right here in town. KANTINE Biergarten Wine Bar Eatery serves up incredible German food that tastes like it came straight from Munich. The beer selection is excellent with real German classics on tap, and the wine list changes weekly which keeps things interesting. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming, and you can even catch Bayern München matches on the TV with other fans. Whether you are here for a meal, a few beers, or a great time with friends, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Kantine is an excellent restaurant to experience authentic German cuisine. Peter, the owner, greets guests with cheerful warmth and genuine hospitality. The outdoor terrace is delightful, and the cozy indoor dining room makes you feel immediately at home. Although it is just distant enough from downtown to give you a sense of escape from Cincinnati, the food and the owner’s atmosphere together offer a virtual ticket to Germany. Located in the Westside, inside a former industrial building now in transformation, Kantine combines authenticity with character, making it a truly memorable spot.

Love this spot! Great lighting, good beer selection, friendly service (counter service only, if I’m not mistaken). Happy hour on Friday and Saturday, starting at 3pm. Parking was easy - there was a small lot, and there are spots in the street.

Fantastic joint. Not pretending to be something it isn’t, just a good old fashioned Biergarten with top notch food and a great selection of beers and other alcohol. Live music was not overpowering, and was appropriate to the crowd. Definitely heading back on my next trip to Cincinnati.

If you like German food, this is a must try! We have been here several times with fairly large groups which they can accommodate for either indoor or outdoor seating. You may wait a little for your food as they prepare it fresh but it’s so worth the wait! They have pizza on Wednesday which I haven’t tried but looks amazing. Thursday is half priced bottles of wine. We had a great time on Mother’s Day! Wish I had taken more food photos… it was all amazing!

Finally made it to Kantine. We live super close so it’s really shameful that it took us so long. Really can not give this place higher praise. I’ve not had a more traditional schnitzel in the US. The cheesy spaetzle was phenomenal The staff absolutely welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to make the next trip so we can work our way through the menu!

Off the beaten path but worth the unusual route to get there! It was cozy and warm inside in December. The ambiance is very eclectic and the staff is friendly and attentive. You order at the counter but they bring it to the table. It wasn't too loud and the chairs all have cushions so it's comfortable to stay a while. The German food was amazing and came out quickly, delivered directly by the cooks as soon as it's ready. Prices are very good considering the top quality food. Great selection of German draft beer! I look forward to coming back to enjoy the biergarten this summer! Prost!
