Nine Giant Brewing

Opened in 2016 and now a cult favorite in the heart of Pleasant Ridge, Nine Giant is the kind of brewpub where the food program gets talked about as much as the beer. The wings rotate as Thursday night specials with creative flavors like Smokey Sambal, Bacon Pineapple Habanero, and smoked wings with fresh Fresno Chile Buffalo sauce — not your standard bar wing program. Scratch kitchen, burgers, brisket chili, and a menu that changes often enough to keep regulars coming back. Expanded in 2024 with an additional 800 square feet and 50 more seats. For the beer-focused crowd, the Fermentorium at 6111 Ridge Ave around the corner handles barrel-aged and experimental offerings — drinks only. CityBeat has called out Nine Giant's wings specifically.
