Overview

Step into the chilling embrace of history as you embark on an unforgettable journey through the enigmatic Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. Brace yourself for an eerie adventure that begins and ends at the renowned Northern Row Brewery.

Descend into the depths of the 1800s brewery tunnels, descending an astonishing 30 feet underground. Here, amidst the ancient brickwork, be prepared to encounter ghostly apparitions and eerie encounters that have been reported. Feel the whispers of the past echo through the dimly lit passages as you explore the spectral remnants of a bygone era.

As the tour reaches its haunting climax, join us back at the brewery.
