Craft Beer Bar and Grill

Welcome

We first opened in January 2018 and rebranded to The 859 Taproom & Grill in spring 2019. We feature one of the biggest beer walls and bourbon and whiskey selections in Northern Kentucky! Locally owned and operated, our owner has 20 years of experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Being independent instead of a franchise lets us offer more local brews and create new menu items. 


Most of our meat comes from Avril Bleh, Cincinnati's top butcher!


When the weather is warm, we invite you to take advantage of our covered patio. We also have garage doors that open to let in fresh air and sunshine, plus 15 TVs, Golden Tee, a digital jukebox, events and more!


We're conveniently located in Florence, Kentucky at the corner of KY18 and Houston Rd. We're close to Florence Mall, Turfway, the airport and many Florence area hotels.


Address: 8720 Bankers St. Florence KY 41042
