“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“over 200 different gins. good tapas. live music.“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“Awesome place to check out some very rare, vintage spirits.“

“Whenever in a town for the first time, we look for an Irish pub. We’re very happy to have found Paddy’s. We had the bar/bartender to our selves for a short while. Discussed Irish whiskeys, history of the bar and more. Had a great time but had to move on. The Casey’s from Michigan.“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

“You can't beat the cocktails here. Price is on point, and so is the profile. The dude upstairs can mix some drinks no matter what you're in the mood for. Legit drinks, not an Applebee's version (unless that's how you asked for it, probably).“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food! The background story is really cool.“

“Atmosphere 9/10Nice upscale lounge atmosphere with a cool bar in the middle. Bar and table seating options. Quiet music completes the vibe for a relaxing cocktailDrinks 10/10Stylish menu, great whiskey selection. When in Kentucky, you need to try Bourbon based cocktails. Perfect Manhattan was on point. Can recommend Boone County Rye. Whiskey sour was great too - perfect egg white foam. Great presentation too.Coaster game is strong - gives the drink an additional flairService 7/10Nice bartenders. They didn’t serve water (without asking) though, which an upscale bar should do IMO. There was also no reception, to explain if anything is reserved or free to seat. Prices are on higher end for Kentucky.“

“The Well is one of my favorite spots in Covington! The drinks and food are always great, and the staff are such fun people. I threw my boyfriend a surprise 30th birthday party at The Well, and it was a night many probably won’t remember but filled with laughs and fun.“

“Loved this place. First time and will definitely be going back. I suggest the beef sliders and salmon tacos. So tasty!!“

“This is kind of a dive bourbon bar but definitely worth stopping in. Taylor the bartender was absolutely fantastic. They climbed a ladder to get a bottle that we wanted a pour of. We got a flight and the store pick of Russell’s was out of this world but unfortunately not for sale. The restroom was clean. Our only complaint was the bar and the menus were really sticky. Like so sticky that we washed our hands in the fountain outside when we left. However, definitely worth a visit if you’re a bourbon drinker because they have over 500 bottles.“

“A dive bar type of place with a cozy basic atmosphere. Drinks are cheap for a downtown bar in Covington KY. Service is attentive and friendly. Food is not served but several restaurants are nearby or one can bring food into the bar. Happy hour is unparalleled for it seems to cover all types of drinks. This is not the usual for places that have happy hour. Seating is ample plus space exists to stand.“

“this place just tried to destroy my life with the drinms I got there last night. I dont usually get mixed drinks anymore but woo! Dang those were powerful drinks. Great bar! Loved it.“

“An LGBTQ+ mainstay in the heart of Mainstrasse! A friend invited me for a visit, and I am so glad he did! Haven’t been in 15 years. Rosie’s is fun, clean, beautifully appointed with wood features and clever signage, and mostly just full of really great folks and bartenders.“

“first time going to Covington Yard - great atmosphere - good service, football, wide variety of people, very dog and kid friendly. we will definitely be back.“

“Best bar in Covington and northern KY.“

“This was really good! I didn't have my hopes up because sometimes hotel restaurants can get away with serving mediocre food to a captive audience, but I genuinely enjoyed everything I ate at the Fifth Lounge in the Radisson. We got the stuffed breadsticks ($12 for three, a little steep) fish sandwich and tots ($13?) and a burger and fries ($14). The server was super sweet and gracious despite being the only person working the entire restaurant and bar. The tots and fries were perfectly fried and had a great Cajun seasoning on them. The burger was delicious and the fish sandwich was great too, I liked how soft the bread was. FYI No vegetarian options at all (menu in pics)

Vegetarian options: No vegetarian options at all

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is in main lobby floor of hotel and has no stairs or steps. There are some tables you could pull a wheelchair up to but many tables are high tops“

“One of the staff thought it'd be 'funny' to try and steal my purse. I was watching the band play and he tried to take my purse from me. He only stopped pulling on my purse when my friend and I yelled at him. He tried to play it off as a joke. I didnt get his name. We left after the incident. This place is not safe for women when staff are behaving like this.“

“Very friendly staff relaxing patio with a nice fire feature in the middle of the table and everyone there was very welcoming and friendly:-)

Parking: There is a paid parking lot around the corner that you can use in case you cannot find any parking on the street parking on the street is a bit difficult at times“

“Friendly atmosphere! Great service! Cold beer!!! Everyone was singing with the band!!!“

“The food is delicious and the staff are fabulous! For a great experience you need to come! Johnathan and Cindy are the best!“

“I recently hosted a baby shower at Blinker's Tavern and I must say it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. This establishment truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, leaving me with a lasting impression. From the moment I reached out to Blinker's to inquire about hosting the baby shower, the event coordinator Amy L. was incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant, servers and host went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. They seamlessly coordinated the flow of food and beverages, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and allowing me to enjoy my time. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Thank you!“

“Loved the igloo! Shoutout to Kris for going above and beyond and making us some 5⭐️ mules!“

“This place made my tongue smack my lips and say Wow! Food was too notch & priced nice.
Service, was something You could only dream about a five star restaurant. Ask for Jason.

Live downtown and eat out 4-5 nights a week & this place is definitely in my top 3.“

“The bbq food was so delicious! The homemade bbq sauces were so tasty! The baked beans were delicious too! Also, the pretzels were some of the best I’ve ever had (especially with the garlic seasoning added)!“
