Craft Brews & Cool Vibes Near the Action

Set in the heart of Covington, just across the river from downtown Cincinnati’s top concert venues, Braxton Brewing Co - IGLOOBAR blends industrial-chic charm with a laid-back, welcoming vibe. Known for its inventive craft beers, rooftop seating, and seasonal igloos, it offers a fun and flexible space for grabbing a drink or a bite before a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love Braxton Brewing for its unbeatable location—just a short drive or walk from big-name venues in both Covington and Cincinnati. The vibe is lively but not overwhelming, and service is quick enough to get you in and out before doors open. During colder months, the heated rooftop igloos offer a cozy, Instagram-worthy spot to pregame with friends. Plus, it's open late, so post-show nightcaps are also on the table.
