Dispensary Near Over-the-Rhine

A few minutes off Colerain Avenue from Findlay Market and Music Hall.

Serving Over-the-Rhine

Findlay Market has run continuously in Over-the-Rhine since 1852, and The Garden Dispensary’s Camp Washington store sits a short drive northwest of it, just off Colerain Avenue. For OTR residents and the crowds who pour into the neighborhood for Music Hall shows, Washington Park events, and the market itself, it is the closest licensed recreational dispensary to that stretch of the city.

This page covers which store to use, how the drive-thru fits into an OTR night out, what is actually on the shelves, and the Ohio rules every adult shopper needs to know before buying.

OTR has changed a lot over the past two decades, from a neighborhood many Cincinnatians avoided to one of the busiest weekend destinations in the city. The cannabis rules have not changed with the real estate market: the same statewide law applies whether you live above a Vine Street storefront or drove in from the suburbs for the evening.

Which Garden Dispensary store serves Over-the-Rhine?

Camp Washington is the Garden Dispensary location for Over-the-Rhine shoppers. It sits a short drive northwest of OTR off Colerain Avenue, close enough for a quick stop before or after Findlay Market, Music Hall, or an evening in the neighborhood’s bars and restaurants.

Camp Washington is one of Cincinnati’s original industrial neighborhoods, and the store there was built for exactly this kind of cross-neighborhood traffic: easy in, easy out, with parking on site so you are not circling a block looking for street parking the way you might near Vine Street.

The store is licensed for adult-use recreational sales and also serves registered Ohio medical patients, so whichever category you fall into, the same counter and the same menu apply.

There is no second location closer to OTR at this time. Camp Washington is the answer for the whole neighborhood, from the Findlay Market end near Elder Street to the blocks closer to Liberty and Central Parkway.

Can I use the drive-thru after a show at Music Hall?

Yes. The Camp Washington drive-thru runs daily from 9AM to 11PM, an hour past the lobby’s 10PM close, which covers most evening shows at Music Hall or Memorial Hall. Order ahead online, pull up with your ID, and pick up without leaving the car.

Music Hall performances typically let out well before 11PM, which puts a drive-thru stop on the way home comfortably inside the window. Building your order on the menu ahead of time means the actual stop takes minutes rather than becoming its own event.

The drive-thru follows the same rules as the counter: ID checked every visit, 21 and older only, purchase limits enforced the same way. It is simply a faster lane, not a different set of rules.

Weekend evenings, especially around Findlay Market’s Saturday market hours or a big show at Music Hall, are the busiest window for both the lobby and the lane. Ordering ahead shortens the wait either way, but it matters more if you are trying to make a curtain time.

What can Over-the-Rhine shoppers buy at The Garden?

The Camp Washington menu covers flower, pre-rolls and infused pre-rolls, vape cartridges, concentrates, edibles, drinks, tinctures and topicals, and accessories, all from licensed Ohio cultivators and processors. Inventory turns over regularly, so the live menu is the accurate source, not a printout from last visit.

If you are coming from a Findlay Market afternoon and want something low-key for later, flower and pre-rolls remain the most straightforward starting point. If you would rather skip the smell and the smoke, edibles and drinks are worth a look.

Everything sold at Camp Washington is tested for potency and contaminants by state-approved labs before it reaches the shelf, whether you are buying flower, a vape cartridge, or a concentrate.

Concentrates and accessories round out the shelf for shoppers who already know what they like. If you are new to either category, ask a budtender rather than guessing; the difference between a wax and a live resin, or which rolling papers actually hold up, is easier explained in thirty seconds at the counter than figured out at home.

What are the Ohio rules for buying cannabis?

Any adult 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID, including out-of-state IDs, can buy recreational cannabis in Ohio. Purchases are capped at 2.5 ounces of flower or 15 grams of extract, and public consumption, including in a parked car, is illegal statewide.

Ohio voters approved adult-use cannabis as Issue 2 in November 2023, and licensed recreational sales began in August 2024 under the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control. Those limits and rules apply the same way in Over-the-Rhine as anywhere else in the state.

Washington Park and the sidewalks around Findlay Market are public space, so plan to consume at home. For a fuller rundown, see Ohio marijuana laws in 2026.

The same rule applies to a rooftop patio or a shared courtyard if it is visible to the public or to neighbors. Ohio does not carve out an exception for outdoor space just because it is technically private property.

What if I am new to dispensary shopping?

First-time shoppers should bring a valid photo ID and expect a quick check-in before browsing or ordering. Budtenders at Camp Washington walk newcomers through formats, potency, and payment on the spot, and there is a first-time offer worth checking before you buy.

There is no membership or appointment needed. Walk in, show ID, and either browse in person or pick up an order placed ahead of time on the Camp Washington menu.

New to the whole category? Our beginner’s guide covers what to expect at the counter before you ever walk in.

If you are coming from a Findlay Market brunch and this is a spontaneous stop, that is fine too. Nothing about the process requires planning ahead beyond bringing your ID.
