Teller's may technically be a brewpub; it is part of the Queen City Restaurant group (and consequently serves their beer), and the waitress I spoke to wasn't sure if any brewing was done on the premises or if all the brewing was done at the Watson Bros. location.
In any case, Teller's of Hyde Park is an upscale bar/restaurant much like Watson Bros, but with more emphasis on wine; I believe that Teller's recieved Wine Spectator magazine's "Award of Excellence". That being said, the beer selection was pretty good. Aside from some of the "Main Street" beers (which I guess is Queen City's brand name), they had Great Lake's Dortmunder Gold and Arrogant Bastard Ale on tap.
The physical surroundings were beautiful; Teller's is a converted bank (hence the name), and they did a good job of it. The menu was somewhat pricey, but the food was well prepared.
The place is seriously yuppie, so you may feel out of place if you show up in a jeans and t-shirt; that being said, this might be a good place to visit, especially if you're with someone who cares about wine.

As others have stated this place is not your average beer bar. Located in the heart of Hyde Park, one of Cincy's wealthiest communities, it's not exactly a shorts and flip flops kind of place. I've eaten here many times, and the food never dissapoints. To me this is a great place to take a date for a quality upscale meal while still getting to enjoy a killer beer list. If you're with wine lovers, they have a nice wine list as well. The building is an old bank (hence the name), and they've retained a lot of the original structure to make for a really interesting room.

I was extremely impresed with the beer list. Over 20 taps, and some beers I've never seen anywhere else in Cincy. The ones that I can remember: Fuller's ESB, Southern Teir, La Chouffe, Two Brother's Cane & Ebel, Stone Pale Ale, Oaked Arrogant Bastard, Great Lakes Edmund Fitz, Bells Oberon, Two Hearted, Rogue Dead Guy, Victory Prima Pils, and many more...

I would recommend checking it out when you're in the city.

I went to tellers earlier this week to try out some of the beers on tap. The restaurant is great having a room out of an old safe is cool to check out. The atmosphere was nice super laid back. I was not let down by the beer list the has Goose Island Matilda on tap so I had a few of those along with a weihenstephaner. The food was great everybody I was with ordered different things and I liked the all especially the baton rouge. Prices were a little high on entrees but I ordered a 10" pizza for 10 bucks and every one else was in the same range. Overall I enjoyed the place and I will come back to have some more beer down the road.

Very Yuppie! A person would fit in better in a tie than T-shirt. Teller's is a better restaurant than a bar. It is an old converted bank building which is elegant but does not have a pub atmosphere. It is a better place to take a date, than a place for a good beer with the boys after the game.

And now about the beers ... an impressive number on tap -- 29 to be exact -- from Mad Hatter to Flying Dog; however, most people were drinking domestic macro brews out of a bottle or drinking mixed drinks. How are the draft brews going to stay fresh if no one is drinking draft? The taps are beautiful to behold while you're drinking a bud light out of a bottle!

Teller's in Hyde Park is not bad. Not so great either. They do have a nice selection of beers on tap, all my standard Diagio favorites, Smithwick's Guinness, Harp. They also carry 2-3 from Bell's which I enjoy as well as several craft/microbrews.

The amosphere here is pretty cool, a gorgeous bar full of beer and wine, as well as being in an old bank building, there is a vault you can eat inside.

Now, the reason I reviewed is because the food here is nothing special. I really dont see how so many people think its great.

Both times I went here the food was mediocre. My Girl had pastas both times that were no better than what I could make at home. Same with the steaks I had.

Go for the beer, not the food.

My wife and I stopped by to try the place before taking some out of towners, the end result is we wont be coming back. The beer selection was pretty good, but as other people have mention it was on the pricier side of the scale, the wait staff we had was moderately knowledgeable about the beers, but incredibly less so about the food. The restaurant itself has a very interesting motif seeing as it used to be a bank, and the option to see in the vault was very cool indeed.
What I did like is that they did have a good selection of beer, not enough to make you take notice and tell the world about, but enough to make you go "hmmm I will have to think about what I want today"
What I did not like was that I was out in shorts, a polo, and a baseball cap, I did not feel out of place necessarily, but I did see rude stares from the wait staff, as if what are you doing in here. I do not feel that this would be a place you could come and relax for an extended period of time and drink despite their selection of beer. What really draws back my memory from a few weeks back was how poor the food was for both my wife and I and the price we paid for it. I ended up with their "Vault Burger" which sorely needed to be seasoned and my wife with a less than flavor full doughy flat bread "pizza."

Overall if you want a good beer with poor food you are fine, but so many places do so much better.
