“I stopped in when I was visiting from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Cameron, one of the bartenders, knew his stuff, was great for conversation, really helped me sort through the private barrel selections, and helped me have a very interesting and excellent time there! He helped me settle in on a bottle that was truly unique and fantastic. Cameron and Carl were both amazing! Definitely someplace I would stop back every time I’m back in town which is pretty much annually. Thank you, wise guys as the name fits both in terms of the tradition back with the mafia and the wisdom offered by the folks that worked there. Super grateful!

Not to mention the pizza downstairs, it was pretty damn fantastic!“

“I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about my first experience here. The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was relaxing and the cigar selection was great. Will definitely be visiting again especially once the weather turns.“

“I've eaten at The Post many times, both with my family and with friends. The food is always great and the menu has something for everyone! My kids love the play area and the atmosphere is great for our family. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. I especially enjoy feeling like I can relax and enjoy myself in a space that feels super comfortable. Highly recommend as a great spot to support local, have a drink, and enjoy a good bite to eat!“

“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.“

“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.“

“the rooftop restaurant! Probably had the best seat in the city to view Great American Ballpark and the riverfront, not to mention an awesome view of downtown. Atmosphere is more like 10-star. Then when it came to our waitress, Abby. 1000% off the charts incredible service. Again, a 10-Star rating. We will be back!“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

“We finally made it to David’s Kitchen & Bar (home of what has to be the city’s largest pretzel!) and it certainly lived up to its reputation! We had the fish and chips, chicken tenders and steak tips. Loved it all. And David was incredibly kind and gracious. 💗🪄In an amazing coincidence, the woman we saw earlier today as Glinda (in the Children’s Theatre production of Wizard of Oz) is a David’s employee. She wasn’t there tonight, but when the manager (her aunt!) heard we saw the show she came over to our table and had Hayley Facetime my girls! It made their night. 🥰 Thank you for a wonderful experience and delicious food. We can’t wait to return!“

“927 Reserve on Monmouth Street in Newport is a true gem, offering an unparalleled experience that elevated our men’s club spring gathering to extraordinary heights. From the moment we stepped into this sophisticated venue, we were enveloped by its refined ambiance and impeccable attention to detail. The bar’s curated selection of top-shelf liquors is nothing short of exceptional, showcasing a range that caters to the most discerning palates. Each handmade cocktail and mixer was a masterful creation, bursting with flavor and crafted with evident care, delighting every guest. The thoughtfully designed space further enhanced our evening. The outdoor patio provided a perfect haven for our cigar enthusiasts, offering a comfortable and stylish setting to savor their smokes under the open sky. Meanwhile, the main bar area, with its relaxed atmosphere and large screen playing music videos, kept the rest of us entertained and immersed in the festive mood. The seamless blend of these distinct spaces allowed our group to tailor the experience to our preferences while remaining connected as a party. 927 Reserve is more than a venue—it’s a destination that exudes elegance and delivers unforgettable moments. Our event was a resounding success, thanks to the establishment’s outstanding offerings and warm hospitality. We left with memories to cherish and a unanimous desire to return. Highly recommended for any occasion that calls for sophistication and celebration.“

“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.“

“Good people, good drinks. what else do you need in a bar?@?@?“

“On a recent trip to Cincy with my teenage daughter, I suggested we go to Jungle Jim's. She was less than enthusiastic... until we got there. 😁 A grocery store has no right to be this fun! I honestly wish we'd had time to visit the other location, too. Pictures don't don't paint an adequate picture, but we snapped a few when we weren't running around giggling and yelling, "Come look at this" to each other. 😂 So much cool food but so much crazy STUFF! If you haven't been, this is a legit grocery store and the prices are pretty competitive. But this isn't somewhere you go for a quick shopping trip, especially with kids.“

“Good people, live bands, horse shows and good place to hold an outdoor party!“

“great place great bar maid“

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

“Our firm just hosted a private work event (7/26/24). Rob and Jessica were our contact people and absolutely amazing to work with. They were so kind and professional and accommodating. Freedom, our bartender was polite and personable and friendly. Our experience was definitely enhanced by working with them. And booking with Bryce, was great. He was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions. He had a very professional demeanor.“
