The experience

The tour begins at Northern Row Brewery and moves through Over-The-Rhine, a neighborhood built on the bones of the old Christian Moerlein Brewery. Your guide walks you past the historic brewery office building, the market, and Rookwood Pottery, each stop tied to stories of hauntings reported in the area. The neighborhood itself is the frame. You're standing in front of buildings that still carry those histories.

The centerpiece is the descent into the brewery tunnels themselves. You go 30 feet underground into passages built in the 1800s, where the ancient brickwork and dimly lit passages are where the reported hauntings concentrate. Ghost hunting equipment is there on a first-come, first-served basis. Your guide carries it and hands it out as the group explores. The tunnels are the reason people book this tour. It's the one place in Over-The-Rhine where you're actually going down into the structure and looking.

The walk takes 2 hours total and ends back at Northern Row Brewery. Children are welcome from age 6, and the guide speaks English. The neighborhood has public transportation nearby if you need it to get there.
