50 Best Bar & Grill near Newport

“Friendly neighborhood b&g, great burgers and Nancy McMichael is the best bartender in the world.“

“This is a great neighborhood bar everybody makes you feel welcome. The food is good comfort type food proportions are good prices are reasonable. The coolest thing about this location is the music they bring in some great musicians. It's a small venue which sometimes makes it hard to watch the musicians but you can hear fine from anywhere in the bar. We visit the location frequently.“

“My family had a retirement party for me last Friday. Sam, our hostess was wonderful and the staff that was helping made sure the food kept coming, and Sam kept the drinks flowing!😃. The party room was perfect. I had a wonderful time!“

“My husband and I came down for the night. When we entered the place was packed, was greeted and told there would be an hour wait unless we sat outside. We had a seat next to the river with an amazing view. We ordered the Gator Balls for an appetizer and they just don't miss! We received them within about 10 minutes of ordering. We also ordered a sampler platter to share and you get so much at a decent price! That platter was out within 15 minutes! We've been here before and plan on coming back! We were in an out in less than an hour!“

“Great atmosphere and one of the best burgers and craft cocktails I have tried!“

“Great food at a reasonable price! Excellent service and friendly folks….love everything about this place.“

“We vist for the 1st time today with our two kids for dinner. We love it!! The owner is so nice and great with kids. It's family own and everyone who we talk to who works their is so nice and welcome. We will be back.“

“Best team I’ve ever had! Ate with my family, had amazing service and everyone from the GM to the service was top 10!!! Jake Brooke Alex You guys are a 10/10 !!“

“A mixup with our carryout order turned into one the best customer service experiences in recent memory at Newtown Village Tavern. The owners were very attentive to our order mishap and had assured us our order would be hot and prepared as requested. The food was delicious and you now have our forever patronage. I highly suggest that you give NVT a try for what I consider to be the best pizza in the area! Customer service is above and beyond!“

“Great atmosphere and the best brisket. The owner, the cook, the bartender and all of the waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“All the food is excellent but the chicken wings might be the best is the area. I have enjoyed wings from all around Greater Cincinnati but none are as good as Tickle Pickle wings. Service is outstanding and the place is very clean.“

“great food and very generous portions“

“Very friendly bar staff, delicious food, awesome live music, spacious indoor and outdoor seating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Believe the hype, the food is definitely AMAZING. The flavor is on point. The servings are in point. The staff is on point. Definitely 10/10 Honestly, this is some real good home cooking. I had a chicken quesadilla and it was so juicy and flavorful.“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“Wings are so good from here. I also really enjoy the fried pickles and Mozzarella sticks are delicious. Drinks are good and not over priced. The back patio is a nice touch. Being able to take your drinks out and smoke is great to. Fun local bar. Definitely will be back.“

“A great time with great ppl and music not to mention the drinks are on point !“

“Outstanding crew here does all they can to assure you enjoy your visit. Great drinks, excellent beer selection, and a marvelous menu“

“This place is cool! It's basically your local neighborhood bar with an awesome bartender! Stop in and see Kiki! They also have a great music selection with a pool table. The interior could be updated but that doesn't bother me one bit. This was our 1st time coming to this establishment and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back!“

“Lee the bartender was transcendent!!! 5*****“

“It was really busy for a Tuesday. Our food was excellent. Our waiter was good. Two comments to make: our poor waiter was stretched thin. Only 2 people were working to take orders. Second, the one good thing about the pandemic was the space between tables. Not any more. My husband and I got to listen to the conversations on both sides of us. Getting in and out was a struggle not to knock into our neighboring tables.“

“I've been a fan of Local Post since they first opened, and they never disappoint. My most recent visit was on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, where I enjoyed the patio and the rare treat of a weekday brunch. As someone with a nontraditional schedule, I love that they offer brunch during the week! Though I didn’t see a Bloody Mary on the menu, the bartender went above and beyond to make me one, and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. I also ordered the brunch fries, which were spot-on. The service was outstanding—friendly, accommodating, and they really made me feel at home. The laid-back atmosphere and great vibes make Local Post a go-to spot for me.“

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

“Very nice environment and good chicken“

“Stumbled in this small corner local bar/restaurant.l after a Drs appointment down the street. Convenient on street parking til 3, weekdays. Parking lot in rear. Limited menu to keep costs down with daily specials. Service was very friendly. Prices were excellent. Party rooms for large groups. And they had Guinness!

Parking: We had the daily specials - fish sandwich and mushroom burger, both with fries.“

“fantastic place great food“

“Zac is a great bartender. He remembers you and your drink of choice as you walk in the door and generally has it waiting at your barstool by the time you take your seat. Friendly patrons, TouchTunes, multiple TV screens and Grippos BBQ chips! Check it out.“

“Our first time visiting! Both bartenders were super nice and welcoming! Drinks were great and the wings were killer! We also tried some fries and a spicy pizza roll all which were amazing! I’m a huge ranch gal and there’s was top tier! Loves the environment and was served super fast! We will for sure be back!“

“Great staff and leadership“

“Hidden gem. Very good food, well seasoned and large portions. No real fajita or nacho options, which forced us try something new. Chimichanga and quesadilla la cumbre were excellent. Almost no one there so we parked right outside the door. Service was good and friendly. Minus one star because the menu prices weren't correct. We'll definitely be back.“

“This was an awesome laid back place on the river. Staff was super friendly, the owner was friendly, everyone was working their butss off. There is plenty of space if you have a big group. You can dock and get food also. Food was good. Their Cincinnati chili is legit and definitely worth making a trip here for. Watch the hill on the way in and out. It's a bit steep!

Parking: It is at the top of the hill so you have to go down the steps or the ramp in and out.“

“We hosted a get together here and had a great time! Candace was so great to work with prior to the event and helped us organize drink tickets and a space for us for food. The day of the event, Brandy and Tommy (the bartenders) took great care of us and made sure everyone had a great time. This place is a hidden gem up on the hill with great staff, great bar selections, and a great atmosphere! We will be back.“

“They were so accomidating...owner was soo cool...awesome meade 4 my husband on tap and in bottles...will be back!“

“great place great people.“

“Cassie and Jen are awesome servers! The dinner specials are delicious, and we love their breakfast! The owner really knows how to cook, and his homemade desserts are yummo! They have drink specials every day, and have Karaoke on Friday and Saturday. It’s all non-smoking! If you haven’t been here in a while I suggest you go check them out! They are open Tuesday through Saturday.“

“Great food great leadership would highly recommend“

“I've been here for years and although it still looks the same, the food is still delicious. This laid back, corner bar and grill is just what you want during the week when you want a burger and beer. Love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing. They did add some outdoor bar, which is awesome!“

“The variety of sports teams' decor throughout the establishment was nice, too.“

“I’ll be honest it’s not a bad spot to drink at and the owner has always been super kind to me. The food is decent and I’d recommend getting the platter after drinking on a night out if the friers are still on. I personally get the chicken tenders with nacho cheese and the occasional mozzarella sticks. Karaoke is fun and I’ve been a pool shark since mid-college. Rom even taught me how to play pool! Location was such a huge thing for me back then and it was a prime bar living in Aspen Pines. Now I unfortunately do not approve of certain things and numerous people who they chose to keep and allow to work behind the bar top. Especially with their track records. It is still a dive/pool bar at the end of the day so I just choose to avoid it at all costs now. As I was told as a little girl “birds of a feather do flock together.” which just means I’m just not in the same flock as them and I am A-OKAY with that currently. Plus there are plenty of other bars to attend in both Ohio and KY. It’s just a shame because I did really like it at one point in time. 💙 Just know if you’re down for a good time they do know how to party and I will always root for them at a safe distance. Much love. XOXO, KAT 💙😊💙“

“Always good food. Always good and friendly waitress. No complaints been coming there for years. 😊“

“How can I make you understand in depth how great this place was!. I didn't even mean to stop in this place! I was headed to get food for myself. I saw this little joint with a back porch, camping type pavilion attached to a little oblong brick building that just looked like it wasn't for me.This place...It doesn't scream or pop out at you. It looks like it would be in one of my friends yard behind his house on the side of his garage.As I walked by....and past it, I saw "great food"!! In big letters painted on the side of the building. So I tryd em!... lol to see if they knew what they were talking about!.I serve my lord Jesus and don't really drink but I came for the food! And to test its words painted on the side of the building.Every one was nice! Everything was comfortable, everyone cared!... everyone knew each other and everyone let's you be!.... I couldn't belive it! I found a place to go be and eat and they let you be....if you leave hostility, hatred, ugly ness, and a disrespectful attitude at door..... You will have no problems here! I loved the people, I fell in love with the place!, you can be who you are! I think it's encouraged and probably the only way this bar and grill will have you.As soon as I came in, there was a veteran, and two others at the bar with a classic western playing on the tv and two sweethearts behind the bar.... it was laid back and quite for a Tuesday afternoon.During happy hr domestic beer is 2:50$ and I got a great double mushroom cheese burger for 6$The lighting was perfect! ....For a bar/grill. Right lighting with lamp and neon lights scattered throughout the restaurant and bar! The lights mixed well with the atmosphere splashing and filling up color, mood, and lighting over all the creveses, nooks, and crannys of the spaces in the restaurant bar and grill. If you want a bar and grill out of the movies... Here it is! I loved the assortment of signs, billboards, slogans and pic's all over the walls....Well I tell you the food was off the chain!. The hospitality on point and the price is right. it does not hit your pocket at all. The food says to the money! Get out of here.....I always am looking for a place to eat drink and socialize in peace, and in prosperity. to be myself at the end of the day!!!!....Besides Christ my lord and savior I Just want good food, at a great price! When I go out to eat!. I got more than that at jds honky tonk and emporium! It checked off every thing I quit looking for on my list now a days!!!...I'm always left wanting visiting a place. as i leave my mind is trying to point out the good pointers in a restaurant and bar and grill..... Well I just plane ol loved jds honky tonk & emporium.words fail but if you go! They'll accept you,you can be you, friendly, and you best belive you can get a great bite to eat! And drink.Seriously how can I tell you this food is worth trying and the place worth visiting! Weather you are rich and can't fathom going here, or poor and you think this place ant for you! every one in between..... The food was good... if you want good ol American cheeseburgers fry's and cheese steaks and food....try this place plus on Sundays every one is a Bengals fan. At any time there open come wonder on in and leave feeling good that you came.“

“Great Food, Great Service, Good time every time! Welcoming environment!“

“Good old neighborhood joint; but really fun place; great service; great burgers; Owner Joe is super helpful and friendly. Each visit I meet terrific local folks as well. Come over folks. l“

“My spot I love it in there 💯🥃“

“Very friendly & great service!“

“great place great bar maid“

“great place and great drinks“

“Awesome sports bar. It's always fun at Game Time. Great place to hang with friends, enjoy delicious food, and have some drinks. Good music and sometimes live music. Reasonable prices and great service. Plenty of TV's to watch whatever game interests you. They have some arcade games, a couple of pool tables, and a few dart games set up. They have a nice outdoor patio and sand volleyball set up out back. There's plenty of parking nearby and out front. The only negative thing I can say is that the bathrooms could use cleaning more. Sounds like any bar bathroom, though. Other than that, I love going here with friends on the weekends when we can all get together.“

“Visited after a Riverbend concert. The rush of people wrecked the servers for about an hour. There has got to be a better method of handling these spikes in attendance. They know it's coming after the big shows I'm sure...
The Friday night karaoke was very well executed and quite entertaining!“
