“Always a fun place.
10 of us rolled in at once and only 1 barmaid was on duty. She also did the cooking. All of us had a cold drink in short order. She then went to work on the food. She gave us great service and did an excellent job.“

“Brunch was delicious and many interesting options!“

“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!“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

“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.“

“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).“

“Great place to relax and enjoy a drink.“

“Our Greyhounds loved it and you will to!“

“Nice food, low key, laid back ambiance. Good service. Cov-gem!“

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“I love love love this hometown bar! The Arnzen family & staff treat everyone like family. It’s literally like Cheers. They know your face and remember what’s going on in your life each time ya come in. I’m a Loveland native myself so I love the small town vibes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great local bar with a friendly and welcoming feel!“

“Best staff!!! Just like family!!!“

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

“I can only speak for the weekends. That is the only time I have gone. With that said the ladies that work the bar are Incredibly nice and make you feel at home. And Donna sets the tone with the karaoke and I have always had a great time! This story tells it all. I am 61 years old and have been able to drink legally since I was 18, So needless.to say I have been in a frw bars in my life. Not just here but around the country and parts of the world. And in all that time I never had a bartender come back after I paid them and say the accidentally charge me too much and gave me change back. This is a testament to how awesome this place is. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. So come on down and spend an evening with friends.“

“I love going on Thursday nights ,for Karaoke ????. My fam Chestah T, Dj's your favorite songs ,even does request for the dance portion in between sets ????. It's a small laid back bar and they serve food as well. I went a few weekends and had a good time as well. I will continue to go. It's a pretty mature crowd as far as I can tell so far. If you're looking to get out from being cooped up in the house during quarantine,this place is a nice starter spot to kick it and have a good time.“
