Get ready, Pleasant Ridge. Agave & Rye — the wildly popular Cincinnati-born Tequila & Bourbon Hall — is coming to the neighborhood, and it's bringing everything people love about the brand: craveable food, hand-crafted margaritas, and a warm, all-are-welcome culture.

At its heart, Agave & Rye is built on a simple set of core values: take care of your people, take care of your guests, and

never do anything halfway. That philosophy shows up in its famous Epic tacos, the unique bar program guests travel

for, and — above all —the team members who bring the energy every single night. "People first" isn’t a slogan at

Agave & Rye; it’s the reason the brand has become one of the region’s most loved.

The star of the new location may be what’s downstairs. Tucked into the basement is a hidden bourbon speakeasy —

an intimate, dimly-lit tasting lounge with its own curved bar, a private "rack room," and one of the deepest bourbon

and tequila collections in Cincinnati. It’s a rare, only-here experience designed for lingering, discovery, and a great

night out. Above it, the main level brings an open kitchen, a wraparound bar, and a sprawling front patio built to spill

energy onto Montgomery Road, while the upstairs dining hall hosts groups and celebrations. Bold, hand-painted

murals will wrap the building, turning it into a neighborhood landmark.

Set inside Pleasant Ridge’s entertainment district and Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA), Agave & Rye is

designed to be a true gathering place — and a great neighbor. Epic Brands is making a major investment to revive the

building and expects to create dozens of new local jobs, hiring and developing a team that reflects the community it

serves.
