Venues in Cincinnati, Ohio

Their food is great restaurant quality. Our party shared all the meats a la carte (Kalua Pig, Chicken Katsu, and Teri Chicken) plus the Aloha Slaw. Everyone also liked their cocktails (and beer, in my case). It was nice out, so we dined on the patio, where they happened to have DJs that Saturday playing great music. Using their QR code to order was easy and they bring everything to wherever you're sitting. You can also use the same website for pickup and delivery.

Came by to try out some of their drinks and food options. They’re located right by the pool downtown. Upon walking in, everything is super bright and colorful. It takes you out of Cincinnati for a quick second. We got to try three of their drinks, all of which were super bright, colorful, and of course delicious! My favorite was the scorpion bowl. I had pineapple, orange and guava I believe. It was super refreshing and a huge portion! For food, we ordered the cauliflower wings, shrimp sando and chicken parm with pesto noodles. The service was great and fast!

It's a beautiful day outside and this place is bright and airy with the windows and doors open! The carrot salad was light and delicious 😋 we got separate drinks and then split the Shiso Painkiller. It was strong and good!!

It’s small inside! But but but, they are experienced and willing to make some awesome drinks and they know how to do originally made. Ask to make the whiskey sour and if they ask with egg white …. They knew it! What I think is they should QR the options because the web site was pretty empty other than basic info on details . It’s delightful! Come here with those expectations

Our family held a wonderful Buon Viaggio party at Bar Saeso before our daughter's destination wedding in Italy! This place was PERFECT. The staff from the first day we reached out was professional, prompt and responsive! We planned the event for 65 people of all ages, and EVERYONE left saying it was an EPIC party. The staff was kind, the drinks were delish, and they gave attention to every detail. We had two signature cocktails and instead of doing a "batch" like most places would do, they handcrafted every one. Multiple times the staff jumped in and anticipated our hosting needs before we asked. HIGHLY recommend!

We had our Company Christmas Party at Bar Saeso and it was awesome! Chris was so helpful in organizing it and we felt extremely well taken care of. The atmosphere was great and we were able to enjoy a great party with our team. Would definitely recommend hosting your event there.

This place is amazing. Top-tier drinks and service, and the ambiance is impeccable. I highly recommend going during daylight hours for the full experience, akin to a boozy greenhouse. Shared six of their signature cocktails with my girlfriend, all fantastic, and the staff was beyond accommodating. Do yourself a favor and take a ride share, you’ll lose track of time in this place. Ethereal and transcendent, this is a must visit for even the most casual cocktail enthusiast.

Not only was this the coolest bar I’ve ever been to, the bartenders were OVER THE TOP kind and attentive. We were visiting for the night and they were so helpful suggesting places to go and things to see. Super impressed by the customer service but the espresso martini was also the best I’ve ever had. All in all our favorite place of the night, so happy we stopped in. Thanks for a great experience!

Everyone who knows me, knows this is my place. Meeting me for a drink? Never been to Uncle Leo’s? This is where we are going. Vibes are perfectly unhinged, drinks are good, food specials are always a win and when it sells out, popcorn and bugles never miss.

One of my favorite bars in the city. Whether you’re getting a beer, a cocktail, a lobster roll on Saturdays, or a pickled egg, it’s always a good time. Also they allow dogs. Big plus.

In the hunt for the city's best after-work deal, we stumbled upon a gem that knows the true meaning of "happy hour." This intimate, stylishly decorated bar offers a blissful escape from 3 to 6 p.m. with a deal that’s hard to beat: half-price on all cocktails. The drink menu provided plenty to explore. We dove into their cocktail list, enjoying a variety of expertly mixed drinks that were both classic and satisfying. The atmosphere is a definite highlight—chic, cozy, and perfect for catching up with a friend or unwinding after a long day. The space is small, so grabbing a seat early is a wise move. With a final bill of just $91 for nine cocktails (seven of which were on the happy hour special), the value is undeniable. While the service was standard and the drink offerings didn't break new ground in terms of uniqueness, the combination of a great price, tasty drinks, and a charming setting makes this spot a must-visit for any savvy cocktail enthusiast. It's a solid destination that proves you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy a quality drink in a great environment.

This new* bar is great. They hosted a friend's birthday party in their back room that has its own bar and DJ booth. It's perfect for private events. The decor, seating, and music are nice and there's outside seating at the entrance. The bartenders and manager were pros at service. Their cocktails are very good and they also have some non-alcoholic beers. They have DJs on the weekends; so, I'll be back for that. *Opened Spring 2025, it's conveniently located at an I-71 exit and near popular food and shopping spots.

Cool, eclectic bar. Cozy but chilly seating area inside and a small outdoor patio. We really dug the vibe and our drinks were delicious. The service was friendly and fast.

The best lil gem in Cincinnati! I absolutely love coming to Lost & Found when I'm in the city. The cocktails are top tier and the staff is just lovely. Everyone is so personable and you can always guarantee that you'll start chatting with someone at the bar. It's such a vibe and well worth the visit!

Highly recommend. Great vibe. Good prices. Awesome bartenders. Check out the Friday raffle and other events!

We love this place! Super cool vibes, nice bartenders and owner, great beer selection. We never feel like we are walking into a place we aren’t welcomed.

We happened to roll up last weekend & to my surprise it’s was an absolute Diamond 💎 in the Rough. The Owner Eric, greeted us at the Door & proceeded to show us all around. His Wife & mine chatting it up all night. Offered free drinks ( even though I tipped well) . Sat with us the rest of the night talking about the Place. TV’S on , a rocking DJ , just a great experience all around. Looking forward to the next time. Everybody friendly as can be. 5 STARS ⭐️

This is a nice bar. There are so many Bengals accessories and Bengals awesomeness everywhere. They also have wall art of Kobe Bryant. I love the LA Lakers, and I love the Cincinnati Bengals!!! I thought I was the only one!!! They have a bad a#$ corn hole set, a huge patio, pool table, and plenty of seating. I like this place and look forward to going back soon!!! That line for the restroom was long though.... still love this place!!!

This is one of my favorite bars in Cincinnati- the atmosphere is incredible whether you choose to sit indoors or on the patio. Sometimes there is live music. The cocktails are also delicious- I personally recommend their hot drink menu when it’s chilly outside. You need to stop by!

This was one of the most interesting bars I’ve been to. It almost gave me like an oldies speakeasy vibe. They had a fireplace both inside and outside and the place felt very intimate and cozy. One of the workers pulled out the chair for me and also helped me get my coat on which felt very high in. Our waitress was very nice and made sure to come back quite a few times to check on us (I don’t personally like when waiters do this, as it makes me feel rushed, but I still wouldn’t change my rating). The live music was cool and they have speakers outside so you could hear if you sit out there. They don’t have prices on the menu which sort of stinks. I thought it would be very expensive because the prices were not shown but my drink (Milky Way) was only $9 ( I wish they would put the prices on the menu. My friend mentioned she would have gotten another if she knew it wasn’t too expensive). Wonderful atmosphere. My drink was also amazing; it was amaretto with hot coco.

Overall an excellent dinner experience. House crafted Old Fashioned was very good, as the namesake suggests. Chicken and waffles was just shy of the best I’ve ever had. The only constructive criticism I can share is that the granulated sugar crystals in the waffles was too much sugar and unpleasant. But that hot honey chicken was 10/10 perfection. Head chef was not available to talk, so I’m not sure if the sugar crystals is a normal part of the recipe. Will return when back in Cincinnati.

We had an incredible dinner at Bourbon's Craft Kitchen. The drinks, appetizer, dinner and dessert were all amazing. If Spenser is available as a server I would highly recommend asking to be seated in his section. His service and the food will be the reason we make the 1.5 hour drive to come back.

Always a good vibe, fun games, very dope knowledgeable bartenders. Very well made cocktails.

I didn't get my bartenders name, but he was very nice and welcoming. This little lunge bar is super cute and has games to make you feel at home.

Best bar in Walnut Hills. You can’t go wrong with any of the cocktails. Bartenders are excited to be there and very knowledgeable about the menu. Fun on any day of the week. If they are ever doing a special event or theme night it’s a must go. you can never go wrong with Thursday Kareoke night. Vibes are all around fantastic

Awesome service, great atmosphere! If you like tiki bars this is a great one to check out! Drinks are very good! Mai Tai was a little sweet for my liking, but the Zombie and Rum Barrel were awesome. Super cool to see a little spot like this in a place like Cincinnati! My only recommendation would be to ditch the TVs and play more authentic music to really complete the art of escapism

Update 2: I've been there for a couple of private events and the space in back is great for that. Update 1: It's now become more of a reason for me to visit the area than shopping at Findlay Market. Music is still good, varies and enhances the mood. ----- Initial Review ----- 5-star rating for this new cocktail lounge by Findlay Market (a nice and needed addition). Expect great drinks and music with a low-key vibe. I enjoyed one of their booze-free highballs and marinated olives (all the snacks looked good). The Fleetwood Mac: Rumors vinyl playing completed the perfect atmosphere. Just one visit and it's already one of my favorite OTR bars. Also, the bartenders are awesome!

Highball is one of my favorite bars in cincy. The vibe is amazing, it’s perfect to go and chill and listen to some music (bringing your own records is allowed!), have a cocktail, and just relax. The front area of the bar reminds me of a living room, lots of comfy seating options and plenty of space to spread out a bit. The drinks are also super affordable! A lot of highball’s signature cocktails are only $11, which is lower than other bars in the area. They have a wide variety of spirits and canned beer/seltzer. They also have a weekend happy hour!! We love the bartenders and the patrons that this place attracts are very chill. Additionally, I have hosted 2 private parties in the Annex (back room) and they have been SO FUN!!! It’s free to rent the space as long as you bring people, and they are super accommodating about letting you play your own music and decorate. I highly recommend highball for small events, or even just as your weekly wind-down cocktail bar. Cheers! 🥂

First time here, had a blast! Was fun watching Shiny Old Soul play! Brian, the bartender, was very friendly and provided great service! Cozy inside and out back they have a nice clean outdoor space with a fire pit. If your favorite local band or one you're interested in is playing, give this place a shot! Literally every customer that was in the bar when we went seemed polite/friendly. Like, people actually say excuse me to get by, easy to strike up conversation, etc. Very welcoming. Was my first time at a bar in a long time, so I was weary, but I couldn't have asked for a better evening. We were there on an early to mid Saturday evening and it wasn'tt crowded. There was plenty of room for us to sit. Last, the men's bathroom was clean, which was nice. Hope to visit again! PS: Should mention that I wasn't drinking alcohol and still had a great time!

Really friendly neighborhood bar! Good people behind and at the bar.

Update: Nice selection of booze-free cocktails and they update the list regularly. First review: Great bar with a patio and nice open air seating. The atmosphere is friendly and chill. I love the tropical themed decor and cocktails. Fast service, decent prices. They have a large selection of beers and seltzers plus good daily drink specials (their music playlist is solid too). It's in a convenient location at Court St & Walnut St near parking and good restaurants on the same block.

1/2 daiquiris on Mondays? One of the best happy hours I have seen in Cincy. Everything we tried was delicious! Super cute inside as well.

Sundry and Vice is the union of being that unassuming yet with all the European Sherlock Holmes aesthetics and ambiance that attracts the evening crowd. I enjoyed dropping in to two friendly bartender and a quiet space to catch up with an old friend. I'd definitely consider coming again for a night out.

Very chill yet sophisticated (like all good speakeasies) corner spot with bespoke cocktails, extremely knowledgeable and friendly bartenders and comfortable vibe. Our drinks were excellent and the service spot-on. Their drinkcraft includes regularly trying new concoctions and daily tasting of mixers to assure freshness and flavor. Just top notch!

Update 2: They have great house cocktails and mocktails. Always good music playing. Update 1: They carry a few N-A beers, which is good for when I'm out but not drinking. ----- Initial Review ----- Friendly and fun - just like the best neighborhood bars, but it's also cozy, and classy. Good music. Nice aquarium. A dozen drafts plus a solid cocktail, beer and wine selection. Great bartenders and fast service. Happy hour and daily specials are the best. Ideally located for drinks before or after dining at the best restaurants in OTR. Outdoor seating available in warmer months.

This was a pleasant surprise!! We stopped on a whim. Very nice atmosphere. The drinks were good. The bartender was very efficient and thorough. He kept a very clean bar and bar area! We met some very nice people here.

Awesome option for a brunch or lunch spot if you are downtown Cincinnati! Conveniently located right in the middle of OTR. I’ve been here a couple times, but I’m still impressed every single time I walk in. The plants in the space are just beautiful and it always smells amazing. We started off with coffee and a hummus plate. The veggies were super fresh and crunchy. We love that they toasted the pita. For our meals, we ordered the potato hash and their seasonal quiche. Both were delicious and fresh! I would definitely come back and try their bakery board, a lot of people ordering their cinnamon rolls and they looked incredible.

I had been to the alcove in the very beginning for brunch but had not been for dinner. We celebrated my 10 year business anniversary there for dinner on a weekday and it was the perfect spot for something like that. Some of these details are not going to matter for the general public but will for people who photograph everything /influencers, etc. They were so understanding about me adding people to the reservation up to the last minute, they were more than ok with us photographing during our whole dinner, and set us up in a cute corner room. We asked for the music to be turned down so we could yap easier, once again totally taken care of. I needed cake cutting accessories, totally accommodating for us. The butter board was amazing and the meals everyone chose were great, zero complaints. As a non-drinker, the mocktails were all tasty, different flavors without being too overly sweet. The sweetest thing of all was that they generously gifted me my meal for my celebration which was completely unexpected and did not go unnoticed. Super chill but luxury feeling environment for a weekday celebration. Highly recommend.

1st time here. The group I was with enjoyed the cocktails and scotch ( I had a beer ). A very cool place to visit, but nothing wanted to keep me there.

Really liked the vibe and layout of this place. Cool decor and a good sized outdoor patio. We came on a Saturday midday, and it was completely empty but the bartender was great and we enjoyed our drinks. I am sure it is super fun in peak hours.

This is an amazing cocktail bar in Cincinnati with live Jazz. One of my friends took me there and we had an Espresso Martini. It was superb and I loved it. Music band constantly plays Jazz and it surrounding is filled with musical vibes. This is a great place if you wanna have a quick drink. Highly recommended.

Fantastic date night find! My new favorite bar! The trio playing was fantastic, the music volume was just right for easy conversation, and the coffee and cocktails were solid. I love the aesthetic and the classic black and white films playing on the screens. It's intimate without being crowded and vibe (patrons and staff) was really positive. It's been a long time since I felt classy and care free just being in a lounge. Kudo to the team making my experience grand! I'll not hesitate to drive into the city for this on the regular!

Update 2: It's great for happy hour and nights are fun too (friendly crowd, nice vibe). They also have good N-A beers: Guinness, Heineken, etc. Update 1: Still my favorite place! (whether I'm cheering my teams winning or moving on from their losses). ----- Initial Review ----- Best sports bar in downtown (OTR area). Fast service and good prices. Super cool bartenders and regulars. Plenty of drafts, plus beers and seltzers that you can also buy in buckets. Their Rhino Haus Shots are great, especially The Mexican and The Fresh. Opens early to watch English Premier League and other major soccer matches. They also have a TouchTunes jukebox. Near popular restaurants (you can bring food in too). Half a block from 12th & Main streetcar stop.

Love this bar so much. Great staff. Fav place to watch sports. But I will say: after years of coming here regularly I find out there’s a TV in the men’s room. Can we get one in the women’s too!? All jokes aside highly recommend.

My wife and I went here for drinks before going on a dinner date. The vibe was nice and the drinks were great! The decor is also really cool! We didn’t have any food so can’t speak to that but we had a good time

Such a cute bar! I love the Shining theme during the majority of the year and the fact that they play 80s horror movies on the TV's, plus the drinks are all themed. The Christmas pop-up is also super cute, and even has "snow" that falls from the ceiling! But buy your tickets super early, they sell out every year!

Cool eclectic local dive bar. They have a cool outside stage as well as an inside stage. They showcase a lot of Dead related plus other jam band type groups. Staff is laid back and very helpful . No food available.

The atmosphere is great, lots of great people every time I've been. There's a great food truck down the road that delivers. But the service definitely leaves something to be desired. Slow and quite rude. But the prices are still good. Overall a great experience.

FC Bayern Takeover at The Pitch Cincy = Epic! The FC Bayern München takeover at The Pitch Cincy was absolutely unforgettable. The beer was ice cold and top-notch, the service was quick and friendly, and the entire atmosphere had that perfect mix of energy and authenticity that made you feel like you were in a German beer hall cheering on your club. From the décor to the chants, every detail was on point. Massive props to the staff—they kept the drinks flowing and the vibes high all night. If you're a soccer fan in Cincinnati and weren’t at The Pitch, you seriously missed out. Can’t wait for the next event—this place gets it. Prost! 🍻⚽️🇩🇪 #MiaSanMia #ThePitchCincy

We had a UC graduation party for my son at the Pitch Cincy! Everything turned out fantastic! Sophie did an amazing job helping plan for the event along with coordinating food and music and whatever else we needed. We had a private party on the second floor and it was the perfect space for our party! The food was excellent along with the service. We loved the sports atmosphere. The bartenders were nice and friendly and attentive! I highly recommend the Pitch Cincy for any event!

New* bar / club one block from Findlay Market and near two streetcar stops. Happy hour was pretty chill. Nice decor and background music. The bartender was friendly and told me about the place: they have weekend DJs, Ladies Night on Fridays, and Afro Caribbean and then R&B music on Thursdays. First Class Sundays also have a DJ. The larger area also has a bar and is set up for dancing and VIP / bottle service, plus there's a more intimate side room. The space is also available for private events. *Opened March 2025

I absolutely love Privee On Elm. The customer service was amazing the owner walks around and greets everyone with a smile on his face. The drinks are delicious, the bartenders don’t pick and choose who they serve and they serve you in a timely manor. There is plenty of comfortable seating in there so you won’t ever just be standing around!! the dj is amazing the atmosphere is amazing nothing but good vibes will be back soon

I’ve been passing by The Lackman for so long now and finally gave it a shot. They did NOT disappoint! I was interested in their seasonal drinks and after asking the bartender some questions I started with an espresso martini. It was smooth and what I would consider PERFECT, then I switched to their harvest spritz which was light and delicious especially if you love apple cider like me. The space was unbelievably clean and the perfect setting for meeting friends or a date. I will for sure be back and recommend you give it a shot when looking for your next cocktail bar!

The Lackman is hands down one of my favorite bars in the city, and a huge part of that is thanks to Cindy. She’s the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, always remembers your drink, and somehow keeps everything running smoothly even when the place is packed. Super friendly, fun to talk to, and just all-around great at what she does. The vibe at The Lackman is always on point, cool without trying too hard, with a solid drink selection and some really creative cocktails. But honestly, even if the drinks weren’t as good as they are, I’d still keep coming back just to sit at the bar when Cindy’s working. She really makes the place special.

Murphey’s Pub was a huge disappointment. My friend, who is 100% of age, was denied entry by the bouncer because her ID had a small crack in it. She explained that it cracked months ago when she accidentally sat on it, and she even provided multiple backup forms of identification — her insurance card, law school ID, and other documents clearly proving she’s over 21. Still, he refused to let her in. Meanwhile, half of our school was already inside the bar, and she was unfairly singled out despite being completely legitimate. For a dive bar that’s supposed to be a fun spot for students, it was frustrating and embarrassing to have her turned away for something so unreasonable. Definitely left us with a negative impression, and we won’t be coming back.

Hands down best bar in Clifton. Spent plenty of nights here in college playing darts, pool, and singo with great people. Free hotdogs and popcorn (but make sure you tip!) always makes for a good night. Some of the bartenders can be standoffish, but overall great place!

My friend was performing here for their amateur drag showcase. She ate. No crumbs were left ❣️ theres a flower wall up front when u first walk in and one towards the back. Decent seating. A booth along the wall across from the bar and tables up nearer to the stage. Bartenders are always nice and helpful. Ive also been here for their drag brunch which was a good time but there aren't any vegan options. Its cute 💓

I always have an amazing time at Bloom OTR! The drag shows are so much fun, the music keeps the dance floor alive, and the whole vibe is unmatched. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Sometimes you even get a little VIP treatment, I’ve been picked up and walked inside, which made the night feel extra special. Definitely one of the best spots in OTR for a night out of entertainment, dancing, and unforgettable memories!

I was heading to a reds game and stopped at Tom's watch bar and was not disappointed. Great food, cold beer. Bar staff was excellent, and Quentin had a great attitude. When I'm back in the area I will definitely come back.

Our server, Izzy, was fabulous. Very attentive, offered suggestions, and provided excellent service. This is a fun restaurant offering updates and/or live action sports! Perfect! Do you bet on sports? This is the perfect spot! Come and enjoy!

My friends and I were on the west side on a Friday night and decided to give J T Maley's a try and we're so glad we did. The atmosphere was vibrant with a live band playing and sports on the TVs. Despite the energy, the size of the place made it easy to find a quieter spot to chat if that's more your vibe. What really stood out was how warm and friendly the whole place felt, a rare find these days. A surprising highlight? They have a golf simulator! We weren’t planning to try it, but after watching others play, we jumped in. The owners were incredibly helpful, walking us through how to set it up and play since it was our first time. Strong drinks, great wings, and top-notch service sealed the deal. We'll definitely be back for more.

Fun Luau night...live music 🎶 and fundraiser! Comfortable atmosphere with some creative twists for the sports enthusiasts 😊. Food is available in an attached facility. Very friendly atmosphere overall!

I don't know what they put in their veggie burgers, but oh my, they are delicious! This was the best veggie burger I've had in my 20 years of being a vegetarian. Get that with the kale appetizer. You won't regret it regardless of whether you're a vegetarian or not. 😊 The prices are reasonable, and the food comes out fast. Keep being great, Krueger's Tavern!

One of my new favorite restaurants. The outdoor seating is wonderful in the afternoons and they always provide my dog with a bowl of water. So thoughtful. Great mixed drinks, some of the best fried fish I think I have ever had, spicy house made tartar, seasoned shoestring fries, this place really knocks all of their items out of the park. Pricing is reasonable considering the high quality food and great service.

We did not order any food, but it all looked amazing coming out of the kitchen. My wife had the popcorn and she said it was delicious. We love the atmosphere. Everyone really seemed to be having a great time. Also seemed like a mix of regulars and newbies like us. The service was outstanding. We will definitely be back.

I have read on Chowdown that the wings here were great. So we made it a point to go after a show. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday and the place was packed. We were able to score a table outside. I ordered from the bar and he brought our wings out to us. OMG, they were fantastic! They had the perfect smoke and a tasty rub that has just the right amount of heat. The BBQ sauce and ranch were good as well. Will recommend to everyone. We will be back again to try the quesadilla!

I went here with my mom on her birthday and had a really good time. Shuffle board was awesome to play with good beer. The bartenders where so nice, and had a good meal for a good price.

My ID clearly expires in 2027. Two full years from now. I’d recommend making sure your employees know how to read… very poor business.

Stumbled upon this place during the Labor Day Riverfest after a long walk to a bar that was closed and a restaurant that didn't have any service available. I'm so glad my friend and I found it, and I wish I had caught the bartenders' names! Drinks were just as amazing as the popcorn :) Will be returning when I get a chance

We stopped in after the Bengals game. (WHODEY) Nice bar, lights, atmosphere. We enjoyed the changing in music selection. The drink prices were not bad, drinks were made well and we enjoyed the time we spent. They did close an hour earlier then posted on Google, so be aware of that if you plan on stopping in late. This was a nice place up in Mt. Adams.

Came with friends for a night out. First time visiting. From what we understood it was their busiest night since the pandemic started. House was full. Masks were a thought of the past. Line dancing was entertaining and band played many country songs and was entertaining. We had 7 in our group. Of our orders one was not correct. He ordered a big fish sandwich and they brought him the little one. To make up for it they brought him out another small. Might have ended up with more but not what he ordered and was disappointed. My order was not brought out when everyone else's was. I waited another hour for them to bring me a personal pizza. Not sure who our waitress was because someone different was always checking on us and I told at least three people I was missing my meal. Honestly up to receiving our food we were having a great time and talking about when we could return again with additional friends. Once the food fiasco happened, we are likely never to return. We understand the place was packed and they were overwhelmed. Servers were nice, but there was no offer to comp our food or give us a discount. Everyone in our group was done eating before I got my food. Greatly disappointed in the end.

A cool open style bar, kind of an older crowd, which is nice. Good service, but the best fish sandwich in Cincy, hands down. I first had it during Lent, and sneak back every chance I get to have one. Cool place. Great food.

Spent an evening at this great roof top bar while having a drink. The view of downtown Cincinnati was amazing. They have a band playing on most of evenings and loved the live music they had. The music goes till about 8.30 in the night. This place is popular amongst the locals in Cincinnati and there's always a sizable crowd. Highly recommend this place to spend.

The view is amazing. The ambiance in the evening is quite enjoyable and the drinks are done very well. While we went during cinco de mayo and they had an absurd cover charge to enter on a Sunday to enter to spend more money, it was a pleasant experience when the manager override the door man to let us enter and spend our money to enjoy drinks and the ambiance. Kudos to the female manager for making our experience quite enjoyable.

Location was great and Cinci parking was cheap. Four pool tables were cool, and bathroom was clean. Staff was nice and the venue sounded good. It's just that they the bar in the concert section stayed closed all evening. Yes, we could walk to the front for a $3 Coke, but with standing room only, you risk losing your spot. It was a Wednesday night, so maybe all stations are manned on the weekends.

Since they don’t serve food the food eating will be substituted for drinks. Emmie is the best! A pure Intoxicologist! She made me a corpse revival fizz that was top tier! We came came out for Selectors Choice the Dj RareGroove edition and he did not disappoint. He played all the grown up music you can handle. I definitely recommend coming to the mortised tavern and make sure you say hi to E if she’s mixing!

Very classy and trendy cocktail bar. The drinks they serve here are elevated and expensive, but the quality of their cocktails is exceptional. I really enjoyed the ambiance. The staff was super accommodating and attentive for our large group (with no reservation). We had a fantastic visit here. The restrooms are down a flight of stairs, though they may have an accessible way to get down there. I can't wait for a reason to come back here again!

Great vibe and cocktails well done …. The crowed is great and the atmosphere is vibing.

Stopped in for a cocktails on a weeknight at happy hour time… Very nice service and nice cocktail list too. Definite a really nice, laid back, lounge vibe in here. I came in because the social media posts I saw looked interesting and the pics were great too. They do moderate craft cocktails, but no Chartreuse to do the popular items involving it. Overall – Nice spot, would return!

Update 2: Great salsa night on Thursdays plus Sunday night happy hours. Update 1: Still my favorite after work downtown bar. Good crowd too. Love the atmosphere. ----- Initial Review ----- Nice bar with comfy seating and warm, welcoming art and decor. Great happy hour specials during the week and DJ music on weekends. There are tables with benches outside in front as well as a courtyard in the back, which works well for groups especially when the weather's nice. It's across from the Aronoff Center, so it's perfect before or after a show. They don't serve food, but it's very close to several good places to eat.

What a perfect place to celebrate a friend! We thank you for your hospitality!! Nice little bar on the North side.. friendly staff fun customers and a nice spot to grab a quick drink.. this is your go-to dive bar if you're looking for the best that's in Cincinnati has to offer.. come in for some cheap drinks and fun karaoke!

This bar has cheap drinks, but it's cash only (there's an ATM at the UDF a quarter block away tho). Real fun crowd and chill bartender. Even ran into friends I hadn't seen in awhile. They have various potato chips if you want a snack. They had a good DJ when I was there and people even danced (however, I can't guarantee it's an every Sunday night thing - if so, even better).

Great little tavern in downtown with reasonable prices and portions, I had a bacon burger and fries, and it was pretty good. It's definitely a local place for regulars. I'll try the wings next time

Update 2; Great for lunch too, plus Lindie got you covered at the bar, then Scottie after 7 pm. Update 1: Pleasantly surprised they have a few N-A beers. Food and bevs still a good value. ----- Initial Review ----- Great neighborhood bar, lunch and dinner always on point. Fast service. Best wings for your money. Cheap drinks too. Four TVs, a Touch tunes music player, a pinball machine, and one of those touch screen gaming consoles. Also has an ATM. Within a block from Fountain Square and several hotels, so it's as welcoming for travelers passing through as it is for us local regulars.

What a awesome place! As soon a you step in there, its a whole vibe. Lighting, decor, and the setup are perfect. The drinks are top notch. My wife and I had a great time there celebrating our anniversary. We will be going back!

This is an amazing experience. Be aware, you may want to make reservations 4-6 weeks ahead of your planned visit. When you have a reservation you have a guaranteed seating in the back. They do have a bar area that is first come first served, however when it's full, they close the doors. They do not serve food here which I believe is a good thing. Everything from the way the servers are dressed, to the lighting, to the live jazz band gives that speakeasy vibe that makes you feel like you've been transported back in time. Love this experience and will definitely come again.

The wings are great!! Nice crispy outside and good flavor!! Fries were awesome!! Fresh potato!!

Best wings ever! Legit. Smoked for several hours, then fried. Wings are large and great quality. Fries are hand cut style and always fresh and hot. Staff is always friendly and service fast. Great for lunch/dinner, and our favorite spot to hang out before the Bengals’ games! We always feel safe and welcomed. I’ve even seen people come in with competing jerseys on and everyone is still welcomed! Place has got it all.

Stopped in for a quick bite after golf. Wings were a little overcooked but edible. Special on Thursday is 10 wings for $7. Atmosphere was lively and a bingo game was being played in a separate area. Kids and adults were there and eating a wide variety of food.

This has become our go to place for great food, entertainment and drinks! We visit a few times a week which is a bonus for me because I don’t have to cook🤣 The staff are always so friendly with great service and it honestly feels like family every time we visit! Any time we take our older children out this their choice as well! Such a wonderful place to spend a day or evening, talking, drinking/eating, golfing or just relaxing in the great environment! Definitely recommend!!

Another neighborhood spot that has a great vibe. Patio seating was plentiful and our waitress was helping us right away. Food wise, smoked wings crispy skin, sauce caddy with 6 sauces. Soooooo good. Can't go 5 stars across the board as my wife's salad was average. Good but can't go 5 stars. Wings though...highly recommend.

Great grilled wings. Seasoned very lightly but still good on their own! Makes sense since they don't sauce them. Instead they provide a caddie of six sauces for you to have a go at. Some of the craft beers were like $10 for a can which is more than most appetizers. Service was okay. They took my order, served it and then pretty much disappeared until I was done. Not necessarily bad but just okay. The atmosphere is what you'd expect of a bar. Nothing crazy, pretty standard. All in all, I'm definitely coming back!

This place is a gem! Such great taste in decor, music, and liquor selection. The vibe is 🤌🏼 fun, chill, and exactly what a great queer bar needs. Love love love 💜

The vibe was so relaxed and fun. Cross section of folks and lots of laughter.

This is a great place for any pregame fun. You go up the stairs to get to it. There are 3 separate areas, an outside rooftop area, the main bar (with a few tables) and on down the hallway is a quieter second bar with more tables. This food is wonderful, made fresh and at a very reasonable price. There is not any tables service, waiters or waitresses, you have to order your food at the bar. They will then give you a number sign for your table, and they then bring your food to your table. The outdoor seating area had wonderful views of the city and adds to the overall atmosphere.

Fun spot with upstairs patio! The pickle chips were good!! They have Grape Happy Dad which is hard to find but so good!!

What a great location to be at and relax. The bartender, Cassidy, was/is amazing!! She is on point with everything! I had the chili & the west side steakhouse Reuben (plant based) and they were both amazing! I definitely recommend them both. It’s a great place to come and relax. I highly recommend this location for anyone to come and just chill.

I didn’t eat there, just hung out in the parking lot admiring the view….

Service, drinks and accommodations were superb! Felt right at home with the friendly environment!! I had the Philly Cheesesteaks & Onion Rings and they were absolutely satisfying. OMG I really enjoyed the soft toasted bun and thinly slices of tender steak w/ green peppers and onions along with a generous amount of oozing hot provolone cheese. This sandwich is a MUST!!!! ☄️👌🏾

Went there this past Sunday. BLT was so big and amazing. Also, we had the chicken gyro which was so flavorful. Great quality food!

Very cool local feel Irish pub with outdoor seating and multiple bars. The cheeseburger hit the spot!

Update 2: It's where you want to be to watch Bengals games. Update 1: Still a great stop. Menu has been updated even better. ----- Initial Review ----- Best pub in downtown Cincinnati. Perfect place to drink, eat and watch sports on several TVs. Fast service, good food. Great bartenders make it popular with locals as well as travelers looking for a welcoming place to unwind. Happy hour and daily specials are pretty cheap. Full bar with good beers on tap, cans, bottles, seltzers and a few wines plus a TouchTunes jukebox.

Had a great experience. The food and atmosphere was great. My hubby enjoyed his steak and my son had salmon salad. My espresso martini was the best I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I’ve been to the Yard House in Cincinnati and also the one in Indy, and honestly, I love this place for the vibe and some of the appetizers. The Brussels sprouts are a standout—absolute perfection every time. Crispy, flavorful, and probably my favorite thing on the menu. I ordered the Cajun jambalaya with jasmine rice, shrimp, and crawdads. It was okay—decent but not amazing. I expected it to be spicier and a bit more saucy; it felt a little dry and underwhelming for a dish that should pack some punch. We also had hamburgers. Nothing to write home about—just basic. The bacon on one was burnt, which definitely didn’t help. Overall, the place is still a win for me because of the atmosphere and some consistently good small plates like the Brussels sprouts, but the entrees felt a little “meh” on this visit.

My issue was definitely the bar. I arrived early, and there was only one other person at the bar. I made eye contact with the bartender and I waited patiently, she never greeted me to acknowledge me, and she helped someone who rushed up and cut in front of me, mind you it's not busy. The girl kept walking back and forth I inched closer and was still ignored. Another bartender comes, and she starts to skip me as well so I just walked away.... I was sick and just wanted water plus I'm non confrontational so I wasn't in the mood to yell and shout for help. Later on, a third lady is there and I ask her for water, she points to the other ladies who ignored me earlier and tells me that she's closed without giving me eye contact. It genuinely pissed me off because it shouldn't be that hard to get decent service, and I made sure to try and get service during low frequency moments, and was still neglected. I came from out of town, and I do events. I definitely will not be recommending this place. They need more training. It felt devaluing honestly and it set the tone for me the entire night when I was observing the entire place. You should treat every customer with value, you never know who you come across, wether they're impactful or not, everyone should walk away feeling satisfied and SEEN. Your job is literally to serve..

Went for a party but I wasn't so impressed with the atmosphere. The food I ate wasn't that great. It may have been that I went on the wrong day or the event wasn't to impressive

A friend of mine told me that I absolutely had to check out Dive Bar so on my way between one thing and the next, I detoured over here. After finding some questionable street parking - there was a carpet of broken glass from a breakin nearby - I stepped inside. This place is... unusual. I've never been to a joint with a two-level bar which was interesting. At 5pm on a weekday, the vibe was peaceful and light. A few UC girls popped in for shots and got carded. A bunch of locals were hanging out. I simply enjoyed my PBR and the show.

Was having a bad night so I stepped in here to have a drink or two. The staff was amazing! So kind and thoughtful! If you’re in Clifton check this place out!!!

Attended an event here last weekend recommended by a friend. Despite it being hotter than hades, the vibes were 100% there. It draws a large crowd but there’s PLENTY of room inside and outside depending on your preference. Felt like the workers there were fantastic, and the drinks were just as lovely too! They have a nice fruity drink called Ceral Killer that I can’t recommend enough. A word of warning with the crowd it brings you may wanna get some earplugs with how loud some guests can get but that’s really any bar. Drove all the way from Pittsburgh to this event and will do it again for the next event. Great stuff!

Super inclusive space and great staff. We had a fantastic night here. Crazy how elaborate all the bathrooms are. Can't wait to come back and listen to more music!

Went here for brunch on Mother’s Day and had a blast! Food was amazing and unlimited mimosas hit the spot! The DJ was playing all our favorite r&b songs. Always a vibe

Best Klub in DwnTwn Cincinnati very very nice definitely will be back they play hip hop and r&b Muzik super dope nightklub

Such an amazing time. The people that energy in the vibes were amazing top notch, and I will definitely recommend if you’re just looking to go out on a Friday or the weekend. Definitely will be going again.

Fast, friendly, efficient service. Laura? Was great. Instagram: TrashBikeCo One Love

Visiting from out of town and stopped in Late Sunday evening befor Labor Day. Had to wait a long time. Not because it was busy, but because the female bartender that was attending my end was two busy pouring and taking shots with the female bartender that was to be tending the opposite side of the bar.

Update: Still great! Their music is good, especially when they have a DJ. You can also watch sports on multiple TVs. New bar with great food at the Banks. I've already enjoyed it a few times and have many more beers and pizzas ahead of me there. Service is excellent and fast.

My review comes in two halves: game day experience and nighttime. They’re two very different bars depending on when you visit and for what occasion. Game Day: pretty solid service! They get you your drinks quickly and the prices aren’t bad. It’s a zoo (or jungle) at The Banks when the Bengals are playing so kudos to them for handling what’s clearly a difficult environment. I will visit again. Nighttime: they understand the responsibility of their jobs and what they have to do to ensure patron safety. I’ve seen them act quickly. Service is pretty fast too. It’s not really my scene for nightlife. I prefer something a little less hectic. But the professionalism and management are top notch. I’d be comfortable with younger members of my family going here.

Becca is the best! Our group came in multiple nights and she not only gave amazing service but even remembered all our drinks without us saying a word. Fun, friendly, and made every visit a blast. She’s a rockstar!

Fun place to watch a game, especially if you are a Reds or Bengals fan. Food was pretty good; portions were generous. Menu had lots of choices. Nice beer selection. Service was very friendly, attentive and fast.

Willie's is the best place to watch all your favorite teams and games throughout the whole season! Lots & lots of tv's with sound on. Their food is delicious! Service is on point. Ya simply can't beat their fried or grilled grouper sandwich. Plus tasty wings and the heartstopper fries too! Sad they only have 2 locations left but totally worth the drive from NKY. Love this place and you will too!! Who Dey 🐅.

From start to finish, Vintage delivered an outstanding experience. The bartenders were top-notch, friendly, knowledgeable, and made some of the best drinks I’ve had in a while. The food was equally impressive, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Service was quick and efficient without ever feeling rushed, and the staff works well together. Management was visible, approachable, and clearly runs a tight ship. You can tell they care about both their team and the guest experience. Highly recommend, can’t wait to come back!

Friends brought us here saying it was the best happy hour in town. In October 2025, you could get a fantastic double cheeseburger with sweet potato or regular fries for just $10 and a fantastic old fashioned. I don’t know what time it starts, but I believe it’s Monday through Friday till 6 o’clock.

Absolutely LOVE this place!! We were in town for a Reds game & this was directly across the street from the stadium, so we stopped in to give it a try! I’m so glad we did! It was very busy, but we didn’t wait more than 10-15 minutes which was great! Our server, Madison, was wonderful! She gave us wonderful food & drink recommendations, was very friendly, and a fantastic server! We loved everything about our experience here! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Taking a walk, looking for a place to eat and decided to stop here and give it a try. GLAD we did because the wings and everything was great but the onion rings were my favorite! The pizza isn’t bad but I could go without next time I go. I didn’t try the wrap but my boyfriend said it was good. Definitely going to go again, especially if I’m in the mood for some wings 🥰✨.

First time here had a great time! Dj was great did play the same songs 2 or 3 times the only complaint i had. I loved the bird cages with the female dancers it keeps the crowd going & dancing the whole night! Drinks were surprisingly cheap i paid about $8 dollars for Jameson & gingerale, which i have to say is unheard of in a night club. Not that I'm complaining. When I am back in town I will be back for sure!

I think the experience varies highly based on the day and DJ. I had great time on Saturday with really good Hiphop and some EDM. Free entrance before 11pm. Good vibes. Place was packed though around 11pm-12am - a bit too much IMO. Almost impossible to enjoy, when every 5sec someone tries to pass back and forth prices are … clubby. $8 for a High noon is a crazy markup for Ohio, but k.

Had a fantastic time with my son at his first concert seeing our absolute favorite band, The Score! ❤❤❤ This was a great little venue.

Small college venue near the university. Extremely hot for a late July concert. There seemed to be a severe leak from the vents, might have been the air unit trying to keep up with the hot environment. I have other favorite small bar venues that I enjoy more, nothing special or memorable.

The venue overall is nice. However, the amount paid for my tickets and "table"...the VIP set up and services do not match. Should have just gotten regular admission.

I went to this club because it was recommended to me by locals to go here (I was on a mini vacation in Cincinnati) This place was amazing! Great music, generous staff, and a very nice atmosphere. Outside there were swings to sit on and have conversations with others and inside it was more of a hip hop feeling where people were able to dance and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
