28 Best Pubs near Newport

“Cozy local spot. Feels almost like a cabin, with lots of wood paneling. From the decor you’ll note that Reds fans are more than welcome.If the flyers on the walls (and in the ladies restroom) are accurate, looks like they have live music every evening of the week (!) Note: I came in the daytime, so wasn’t able to benefit from that- maybe next time.Service was friendly.My overall take: Worth checking out. Not fancy and not a chain/franchise - pure local flavor, in the best way.“

“Went to dinner and they had a live performance, "The Edwards Twins"! They were absolutely amazing. Very enjoyable time, always a fun place to go for family functions and they have a wonderful murder mystery dinner a few times a month.“

“What can I say other than 5 stars. Every time I'm in town I always stop by Tavern on York. The bartenders (especially Madison) are super friendly and welcoming. The drink prices are responsible and shots are delicious. I always have a good time when I'm here and make it a point to stop in when I'm traveling to Newport.“

“I really wasn’t going to comment or post anything but the situation has stuck with me through the weekend and I feel as I should. I will post on an anonymous account as I’m not sure they might recognize me. I don’t know who this will reach, I hope it is the correct people. As I was dining in this week, there seemed to be a misunderstanding with a food item a young women at the bar was eating. From what I learned after the commotion, the kitchen lady didn’t feel like or maybe she was unable to do a task the bartender asked of her. The bartender seemed to be nice about the situation but the cook lady was not! She not only shouted at the bartender angrily but also into the restaurant for everyone to hear. Which in turn seemed to fluster and embarrass that poor young girl. It was very disrespectful and very childish if you ask me the way the cook lady acted. Later shortly after that the cook lady then came out of the kitchen shouting loudly again that “yes I did scream at her, I did” like she was proud to be acting so trashy in the workplace. The bartender on the other hand was very calm and professional and I can’t say I would of been myself if I was spoken to that way. I would not of blamed her if she hadn’t been so adult about it in my opinion. There was another bartender there that didn’t seem to participate in the rant but did mumble something about crazy something or other. That cook lady should be let go. Never experienced anything like that from a restaurant before!“

“This place is a hidden jewel of NorthSide. My friend hipped me to this place and I am now a big fan. They have a great food menu, try the salmon salad sandwich, heavenly!!! It's so good. They have great wonderful drinks. The bartender know what they are doing. Happy hours drinks Deals are the best. 4-7. You gotta come see that for yourself. It's a cute retro place and it may just be your favorite spot too. . They have a patio in the back that is also awesome as well! Come check it out! I'm mad I didn't know about this place before this week!“

“Gordos in the hole in the wall burger spot that you didn't know you needed. With thick, unique, and tasty burgers. Thick cut fries come standard. There are so many great burger combos to try, but you need to try either the GFat or the simple PBJ. Across their menu you'll find other sneaky good options like the tacos or the pear salad, but the burgers are the core of why you seek out Gordos. Service can be a little slow, especially when it gets busy, but you can often find this place to be fairly open unless it's a Xavier game day. Helpful to know: Park to the left side of the building in the odd looking lot. The right side of the building parking is owned by a different building/business. On nice days, see if you can sit in the back patio. It's a little oasis from the noisy of Norwoods main drag.“

“Honestly, where do I start? The bartenders are patient, kind, and professional. This is the kind of place that can go from slow to packed out in 30 minutes, and the bartenders are never phased. This family owned bar provides great service every single time. Best poured Guinness in Cincinnati easily, beautiful location, and perfect hole in the wall spot! Dare I say best bar in the Cincinnati area? Yes, it is!!!“

“We've lived near ATP for nearly 12 years and up until a few years ago when owners changed we never went. But now we have been several times that past few years and the place is so much better. It still has that dive bar, hometown bar feeling but the food has been great, they seem to have great activities going on, and the staff has been awesome.“

“We did the 2 hour paranormal tour last night with Alex. We had a great time! Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took time to explain each area and answer questions. If he knew something was just a normal sound like water dripping he made sure to point it out. He brought his spirit box and EMF detector to investigate. He suggested taking pictures in a series of 3 to be able to compare which was a great suggestion! We did get some activity but didn’t feel threatened but it should definitely be known that it can be threatening and individuals have been affected.“

“Best fish sandwich you'll ever have and I'm just not saying that lightly. Plus they often have live local or regional talent playing in the back room especially on the weekends. The rest of the menu looks divine but, man, how do you not get that fish. Flaky, light breading, melts in your mouth. I'm getting hungry thinking about it now. Plus his whiskey collection is top notch. The owner, Bill, is usually on site as well. You can tell he cares about his product and service. Love this place! I'd give it 6 stars if that was possible.“

“My favorite new neighborhood bar! Very reasonably priced beer and mixed drinks. Warm cozy feel and a spacious outdoor patio. Karaoke on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Plenty of parking. They have some appetizers that are very good for a small bites menu. Mitch, Elizabeth and April are all great friendly bartenders always up for conversation. They have a ample televisions and will honor your request to put on whatever games are happening currently. Stop in! Right near the CSX train trestle on Pike Street.Vegetarian options: They offer air fried chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, potato wedges etcParking: Plenty of street parking for free meters are turned off at that time I usually arrive. Parking lot across the street as well.“

“I had a good experience at Molly Malone's for a Monday night dinner. I got the House Salad with ranch dressing. The salad was fine, but it was tiny, side-salad size. The menu did not indicate the small size, otherwise I would have ordered something else. Someone else in my party also ordered a salad and also found the size was insufficient for a meal by itself. To supplement, we ordered the vegetarian potato skins appetizer. The veggie potato skins were phenomenal, fried to perfection. Overall the restaurant was ok. It was fairly dark inside. The first booth we sat at had food left on the floor, so we moved to a different booth which was fine. The service was good. The music, the live bluegrass Monday night jam, was awesome!! It really contributed to the overall experience. The live band was my favorite part of the evening. I'm hoping to go back soon and give Molly's another try.“

“I was staying at a nearby hotel, and was looking for a place to get a good beer and great whiskey, I found it. The bar was not crowded which was great because I got to strike up a conversation with the barmaid. She was great. Great bourbon selection for a neighborhood type place. Good beer selection.“

“One of the oldest continually operating music venue/bar/restaurant in otr. Very friendly bartenders and cooks. It's a meticulously managed dive bar that if you look closely you can tell it was made too look divey but is still actually well run. Some of the nicest people ever work “

“This is absolutely one of my favorite bars in the city always amazing live music , with a heavy grateful Dead vibe, Wes the bartender is a hilarious short hobbitlike long haired hippie but a suave ladies man full of raw anecdotes that keep the vibe light and drinks flowing , but the crowd seems to be excepting and inclusively herbal out on the outside heated deck/smoking area there's few bars I've been to with so little ego or clicks, the place is always full of laughter and though it's a small venue to house such amazing live music with so many beautiful women dancing it definitely the funkiest (in a good way) music venue with affordable prices and live music every night and open mic on Sunday, if your looking for a new local scene you'll love these people, and most likely they'll love you too! If there's any place worth checking out it's this one, maybe I'll see you there! Check out the food truck too it's something special!“

“I was visiting my daughter in Florence and she said the pub was a good place to eat so we gave it a try. There was a bit of a wait but it wasn't that long. We ordered several appetizers and they were all delicious. The spinach dip was really cheesy and delicious but my favorite was the pretzel sticks. It came with beer cheese that was too sweet for my taste but I enjoyed eating them with mustard. Everyone ordered something different and they all enjoyed what they got. I am a grilled cheese fanatic so I ordered a grilled cheese with just American cheese with fries. Their fries are awesome, thick cut and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are delicious both with ketchup and without. We also enjoy them with mayonnaise. Don't knock it till you try it! The grilled cheese was awesome, made on thick cut white bread with lots of cheese and golden brown, just the way I like it! The atmosphere is awesome with a lot of English knick knacks and wall hangings. It was really enjoyable. I definitely recommend eating here.“

“Cute little bar. Showed up for Tuesday Trivia Night and had a great time! Place was packed and barely could find a seat. My wife had to park a block away.She had the wings, which were overcooked and dry. I had the chicken sandwich and liked it.Vegetarian options: Offers a couple of salads and a tacoParking: Get there early for Trivia Night!Kid-friendliness: Only 21 and older allowedWheelchair accessibility: Small and crowded area, not much room for a wheelchair“

“The beer selection here and the hipster dive bar vibe is very fun. I had this Lychee beer there and tbh if not for the draw of my friends to the ramen place nearby I'd probably have stayed until there was no more lychee beer to drink. Worth a visit, and I guarantee you'll find something on the menu that will make you want to order another... or three.“

“Great place in Ft Thomas to come on for a beer and a game on the TV. Just a great local tavern feel. Street parking 2 hr limited but I say screw it... you're enforcing the local businesses. Have a drink, strike up some conversation on Reds, Bengals.... Heck anything and get into the local vibe.“

“Great family owned and operated pub. Solid standard food options like burgers, wings, and various sandwiches and salads. You will find something you like on the menu 100%. The food is consistently good and fresh. But the highlight is the staff. They are very engaging and friendly. They remember your name and make you feel like part of the family. St Bernard Pub feels like home. My lunch crew and I try to eat here once a week.“

“I visited Mic's Pub 3: The Last Stand this past Friday night. The service was great. The ambiance is exactly what I was looking for. The bartender brought fresh popcorn to our table, for free may I add. They offered a nice selection of bar food. Fresh soft pretzels with cheese, hot dogs, chips, etc.. The bartender was very quick to serve drinks to my large group when we approached the bar. The prices and selection are the best in the area. No matter where you were sitting you had a view of multiple flatscreen television that had the games on. The bar also had golden tee, multiple electronic dart boards and keno. I will definitely be adding Mics to my rotation of hometown bars to visit on a night out!“

“Perfection!Garth Burger, loaded, cup of chili, loaded, french fries, and a large Coke. It's been my order, my whole life and I love nothing more than that meal.Nostalgia has a lot to do with my review. lLile a lot of Cincinnatians who grow up in Hyde Park I have been going to this restaurant for over 45+ years.My happy place!“

“I love Our Pub! I pay 'em a visit every time I'm in town! Its got a pool table,darts, and a huge side and backyard with plenty of seating for everyone. Also in the backyard is a fully stocked shed with limited indoor seating. I always have a good time at the pub! Remember to tip your Bartenders!“

“Happy St. Paddy's Day! Less insane the Hap's Irish Pub, but still a great place to toast our ancestors and the Emerald Isle. Apologies for the fish and chips, but they were a must for my husband! We did have an Irish mule and a Jamison.“

“Food and drinks were super tasty. We had Brian as our server and loved our time there! He suggested that we sit downstairs which was completely open for us. Brian offered information about specials and their best drinks. Definitely ask for him if you stop! The atmosphere of the place was great for a night out with friends.“

“We have been eating ZOLA BURGERS for years. Our recent visit was incredible because of Desiree, the bartender. Bartenders on that strip usually lack personality, but Desiree was sweet, knowledgeable, and warm. There are dozens of pubs on the strip with glitter and brass, but we will come back to KY for our Zola burgers...and Desiree.“

“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!“

“If you’re looking for a bar that embodies everything a bar should be this is it. Clean, quaint, and for the people. The prices seem to have completely dodged the inflation storm of 2022. Service has always been great and likely always will be. This spot deserves to stay around forever. 10/10 tip your bartenders!“
