MadTree and 3CDC partner to bring new life to a vacant building in OTR
After more than a decade, plans to restore the old Weilert’s Beer Garden will honor the historical aspects of the property while introducing environmentally efficient features.

In 2008, 3CDC acquired the old Weilert’s Beer Garden in OTR and spent more than a decade trying to find the right partner to bring the property — built in 1873 — back to life. The owners of MadTree Brewing Co. plan to restore the property and open a bar and restaurant called Alcove in the fall of 2021.
Alcove will feature MadTree beers, house-made cocktails, and upscale farm-to-table offerings from chef Stephen Williams, proprietor of Covington’s Bouquet Restaurant and its new concept Spoon: Kitchen & Market. Guest can explore a variety of unique spaces, including living greenspaces, light-filled lounges, and a lush outdoor patio.
