“We just had our first visit here tonight and really enjoyed it. Good draft beer selection, games for the kids, and the food was also very good! Our kids really enjoyed the pancakes (mini fried pancake puffs) and the portions were large and my husband had the haddock with amazing beef tallow fries. I had the poke bowl but in my opinion it was lacking some sort of dressing or sauce. A little soy, ginger, sesame oil combo would be nice! We definitely plan to visit again.“

Lots of regular patrons present .“

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.

“With over a thousand different kinds of whisky (~700 being bourbon alone), this is a very good place for an after work drink. Great atmosphere , first bourbon bar in the area so lots of history, and comparable prices. I had the sample flights from Aaron and Liv, both offered an excellent sampling (although I liked Aaron's better - sorry Liv). What even made it more comfortable was the lady knitting at the bar, just like being back at my American Legion Post. Loved it. I will be back!“

“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.“

“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.“
