All About 3 Points
It’s increasingly harder and harder in a city like Cincinnati to take the idea of a brewery or taproom and turn it into something that has a unique character, and that provides drinkers a special experience over the next place. 3 Points tried really hard to do so by turning their taproom into something much bigger than just a place to grab a beer. While the Three Points in their name references the 3 main streets of what was their Pendleton neighborhood, it also references their 3 pillars of “who they were” – Art, Experience, Beer.
When three points was open, they wanted your experience in the taproom to be driven by each of those three things, one at a time, in that order.
What Was 3 Points Like?
While it would have been easy to just go with a warehouse-like feeling for the 3 Points taproom, they instead kicked it up a notch or two. Comfortable seating was just the beginning of how they stepped things up. There were plants all around the taproom (that especially when coupled with the big accordion-style open windows) helped to really bring the outside indoors. A large bank of TVs on one wall showcased the art that was created by local artists to showcase each and every beer. The most immediately noticeable touch was the lighting in the bigger part of the taproom, which rotates between cool blues and bright pink hues. The place really felt… I don’t know… swanky.
The beer stood up to the vibe of the taproom as well. The brewery always had a nice lineup of traditional styles that will please the palates of any drinker. From a light cream ale to an IPA with an Oatmeal Stout tucked away in the middle of it all it was certainly a place that you could get lost and forced to grab a flight (And that’s a great thing).
