8 Ball is inside the Party Source. This is strictly a beer bar. When I went to 8 Ball 40 beers on tap no fillers. The beers brewed by 8 Ball on site are brewed competently. My favorite beer currently by 8 Ball is Word - scotch ale. If you cannot find a beer you want to drink on the menu you don't like beer. Growlers of beer are available. All growlers are counter pressure filled with CO2. The bartender that evening was Peanut. Peanut is a super friendly and knowledgeable bar tender. No food was available. Overall this was a great experience. I am looking forward to watching this brewery grow.

Located in the back of a party store (alcohol, cigars, party supplies), and even has a connecting door. A long and impressive list of beers on tap - 42 in count. 21 house brewed beers, with a total of 12 different styles represented (some barrel aged or variants. There are also 21 guest taps, with "unknowns" like Draai Laag, obscures like Haandbryggeriet, and heavy hitters like Deschutes, Prairie, and Mikkeller). Decent seating with a 10 seater bar, with 12 other tables. Worth the visit if you're in Cinci or northern Kentucky.
Edit. As I'm leaving, I find out they're closing at the end of April. So...maybe come while you can. Oddly enough I was gonna say their prices were really good (and told the bartender the same) and he explained why because they're closing and have everything half off. So, yeah...that.

42 taps with 13 for house beers. Small taproom but their selection of guest beers is superlative. 19 of their 29 guest beers were rated 91 or better.

After years hearing about The Party Source, I finally found some time to make the drive to Kentucky. Nestled in the back past some of the longest beer and liquor aisles you will ever see is Ei8ht Ball Brewing. The day I visited, they were almost full on a Saturday afternoon, with about 42 beers on tap, including 8 of their own. The selections ranged from some hard to find locals, to top national offerings like TenFidy, to some interesting international choices. It's a cool vibe, despite essentially being in a liquor store. Don't go to The Party Source without checking out Ei8ht Ball.

Incredible selection. Absolutely the most insane prices I've ever seen at a bar, and I lived in NYC for years.
