With jungle interior, huge patio space outdoors, wrap around bar in the middle serving inside and out. Friendly bartenders, cozy spots, and brewery dogs galore. The food past and present is consistently good (although can take a bit of time depending on the crowd).

My family and I are big fans of Catch-a-Fire, so we were sad when this all went down, but the food coming out of the MadTree kitchen is a solid replacement. We started with an order of cheesy bread, topped with garlic butter, mozzarella, and parmesan served with red sauce and ranch $9). There are four slices in the serving, enough for each of our family members to try a slice. Nothing crazy here, but solid bread and good sauce to go with it. We also tried the fries with Happy Amber BBQ and ranch $10). This was a massive serving of fries and their BBQ sauce is great. My favorite of the day was definitely the tasty taco pizza topped with taco sauce, cheddar, chipotle chicken, pico de Gallo, Doritos, guacamole, and crema $17.25 for the 12-inch). The flavor combination on this was superb and I was happy that this was served with chicken rather than the more common ground beef for a taco pizza. I will absolutely order this again as it is unique and tastes great! Our kids enjoyed the cheesy cheese pizza $11.50 for 12-inch). My son said it's not as good as Catch-a-Fire, but I stole a slice and found it to be a pretty good slice of plain pie. Overall the serving sizes are large, with the 12-inch pizza being more than enough for 2 to split. There are six pretty big slices, so it could be possible to share with 3 people and a snack on the side, depending on the hunger of the group.

It was New Year's day so it was pretty slow/empty, but the atmosphere was still lively yet relaxing. There were families playing cards, people watching the game, grabbing a drink after work, it seemed very welcoming for everyone! We sat at the bar and I got a Boysen The Hood beer then a FireFly Nightlight- both so good! My friend got a Sangria- also great! The bartenders were helpful the hostess was very welcoming. We didn't plan on staying for too long but ended up hanging out and watching the game for awhile. This was a Cincinnati highlight, would highly recommend!

This place checked off the boxes and then some. BEAUTIFUL building and outdoor space. Perhaps one of my top 3 outdoor spaces I've ever visited. Beer was fairly solid and the pizza was pretty good.
