About
Higher Gravity is a craft beer bar and bottle shop in Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood, created by two locally born and raised guys named Jason and Nick who turned their passion for craft beer into one of the city's most eclectic drinking destinations. The Northside location at 4106 Hamilton Avenue anchors the operation, with a second outpost at Summit Park in Blue Ash. What makes Higher Gravity unique among Cincinnati soccer bars is the combination: every single English Premier League match is shown on their televisions, and you can watch them while choosing from one of the deepest beverage selections in the entire city.
The Beer Selection
Higher Gravity stocks over 400 beers and 150 wines, plus a full cocktail bar. The inventory rotates constantly, with new beers and breweries arriving every week. The hybrid retail-bar model means every bottle or can you see on the shelves can be opened and enjoyed on-site at the bar, or purchased to take home. This is not a typical sports bar beer list — you are as likely to find a small-batch Belgian saison or a barrel-aged stout as you are a standard lager. For soccer fans who care as much about what is in their glass as what is on the screen, there is nowhere better in Cincinnati.
Premier League and Soccer
Higher Gravity shows all English Premier League games, and the TVs also carry FC Cincinnati matches, Champions League, and other major soccer fixtures alongside NFL, college sports, and NBA. The Northside location has expressed openness to hosting Premier League supporter groups, making it a venue with room to grow its soccer identity. The atmosphere during matches is relaxed rather than raucous — more craft beer lounge than supporters' pub — which appeals to fans who want to watch the game without the intensity of a dedicated supporter bar.
The Northside Vibe
Northside is one of Cincinnati's most creatively vibrant neighborhoods, and Higher Gravity fits right in. The bar encourages patrons to bring their own food or order delivery, and families with children are welcome — a rarity among soccer bars. The space is comfortable and unpretentious, with a relaxed atmosphere, good music curated by the staff, and televisions positioned for easy viewing without dominating the room. It is the kind of place where you can settle in for a full day of Premier League football, working your way through a rotating cast of interesting beers between matches.
Why Soccer Fans Come Here
Higher Gravity fills a specific niche in Cincinnati's soccer bar landscape. It is not the place for organized supporter group chanting or pre-match marches. It is the place for fans who want complete Premier League coverage in a setting that prioritizes quality drinks and a welcoming atmosphere over sports bar spectacle. The fact that every EPL match is guaranteed to be on — not just the marquee fixtures — means it serves fans of smaller clubs who might struggle to find their team on screen elsewhere in the city.
