About Fretboard Brewing & Public House

A collaboration between Cincinnati restaurant group Looking Glass Hospitality and Blue Ash-based Fretboard Brewing Company, this gastropub opened in 2019 inside a historic riverfront building in downtown Hamilton. The ground floor taproom showcases visible brewing equipment, while the second-floor dining room offers a quieter atmosphere. A rooftop patio overlooks the Great Miami River. The on-site five-barrel system serves as Fretboard's R&D brewery for small-batch experimental beers.

Our Story

A collaboration between Cincinnati restaurant group Looking Glass Hospitality and Blue Ash-based Fretboard Brewing Company, this gastropub opened in 2019 inside a historic riverfront building in downtown Hamilton. The renovation took three years due to flood plain requirements—the floor had to be raised three-and-a-half feet, ultimately inspiring the name "Hi-Mark." The ground floor taproom showcases visible brewing equipment, while the second-floor dining room offers a quieter atmosphere. A rooftop patio overlooks the Great Miami River. The on-site five-barrel system serves as Fretboard's R&D brewery for small-batch experimental beers.
