“I got a Philly cheesesteak samwhich that was so good I couldn’t remember my own name. 30 minutes after eating all of my memories of my life and identity came flooding back. I remembered eating the Philly cheesesteak and immediately began craving another.5 stars all around.“

“Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.“
“Overall pretty neat restaurant! The menu is very limited - 3-4 options per course with 3 courses in total. Would appreciate bigger selection for this place. It’s not “fancy” enough to offer that limited menuAnd the atmosphere was not the best - a bit old/dated, not in a “antique-cool” way. Very simple interiorMeatballs were flavorfulAnd their duck is really goodHow they decided to bring out a ginger beer, after we ordered a ginger ale, because it is “ginger ale was not available, and this is the closest to it” will remain a mystery to me“
“Stopped in today and it was awesome. We are newbies to the bourbon world and Brad treated us as if we had been high end customers forever. The selection is excellent and the service can’t be beat! We picked up a nice bottle to commemorate our visit and got it at a great price. This is a must stop for anyone interested in bourbon or vintage spirits!“
“If you haven't been here then you're missing out. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the entire staff is spirited about your experience and the drinks they're making. I genuinely disliked gin before I tried this place out, and after a crash course and tasting different types, I now confidently order gin cocktails knowing I'm going to enjoy them. They have a great selection of small plates that are always delicious. Both menus rotate frequently, so I rarely find myself getting the same thing. The bands they host are always excellent and the volume never bothers me. Although not advertised, they also do a discounted menu on Wednesdays!The food is served tapas style, in small portions, often with international flavors. If I'm going for a full dinner, I usually order 3 items or sharing 4-5 plates with another person - which is like half the menu. The Caesar salad is a menu staple and my favorite in the whole city. Whatever meatballs that they have are always good, too.Not only is this a great date-night place, it's a great spot for large groups, too. The owners were very accommodating for the larger parties I've hosted and it's plenty of space for other larger parties that I've attended. On a few occasions, I've witnessed a couple small birthday parties at the same time as there have a band playing, and it didn't feel crowded.Vegetarian options: There are usually vegetarian options on the menu, and occasionally vegan options. Because of the international focus, their vegetarian options have more complex flavors and sustenance than your alternative bars/restaurants with 'vegetarian' options, like salad or pasta with veggies.“
“We booked the upstairs party room for our family Christmas party. Everything was perfect, hall was decorated and festive! They handled everything. The kitchen manager, Chuck Wilson was amazing! We worked out the menu together and he out did himself. Quality and quantity was outstanding. This guy deserves a raise! All staff members were friendly and helpful. It was a perfect night! Thank you Chuck Wilson, and Green Kayak!“
“This place is so much fun. We stopped here since we saw some igloos on the sidewalk and inquired inside. Unfortunately you need to book those in advance so we just grabbed a spot at the bar. The waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu and getting us our flight of drinks very quickly. We also ordered the loaded potato dip and it was delicious! Had to try the "chili" for chili week and it was a delicious bowl of ice cream with rice crispys. Overall 5/5 stars, when we are back in the Cincinnati area we will stop by.“
“Coaches corner is the best place. It's so much fun & the food is delicious!! The service is EXCELLENT!! You won't find a better local hangout! Casey behind the bar is a real treasure, she makes you want to come back everyday! Truly there is nothing better, it's Newport finest hidden gem if you haven't been before!“
“A neighborhood gem! Loved the place! Good selection of beers, wine and hard liquor. Check kitchen hours, if you are planning to eat. Great bar food! Family friendly. A kid’s area with toys and things for them to do. Check their website for events.“
“Always a vibe , mid day or at night or trivia on Wednesday. An Aperol is my go to but the cocktails are amazing. Make sure to grab some food. The fire pits and the TVs outside are great for baseball and football season. Be sure to add this on your list. It doesn’t disappoint.“
“The Lytle Hotel was exceptional in every way! Our weekend stay included a wedding celebration, so we were privy to more than just room accommodations. The entire staff were incredibly personable and professional, and their attention to detail was always at the forefront of service. From the parking valet service, to room service, to bar service, we could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Lytle. It’s the little things like great water pressure and temperature in the shower, incredibly soft towels and robes, and billowy-soft pillows that really made The Lytle a favorite! The food was delicious, the atmosphere and ambiance were second to none, and the friendliness of the staff made The Lytle Hotel one of our all-time favorite stays. We will definitely return when we are in Cincinnati!“
“A cool setup with a variety of drinks! Located on the 'second story' of a building, this place is uniquely designed. The first thing you may notice is the huge tree at the bar. The bar is basically designed around the tree adding a level of uniqueness of the bar. You'll find casual seating at the bar, more intimate lounge type seating to the left, or venture out to the rooftop area where you'll find the famed football goal post on the roof. Plenty of space for large groups. I imagine this is a popular spot in the summer on the rooftop. Drinks were great and overall good price point. Would come back!“
“The San Francisco dog is vegan and so good. You wouldn't think hummus and guac would be good but it is. The tots are even great. Oniony and flavorful. Service is great. The place is a hole in the wall in the middle of houses. Off the beaten path of mainstrasse. Not too far though. Just a couple blocks. I bet it is a popular local spot.“
“Come enjoy an evening with the largest selection of bourbon in the world, learning about bourbon history with most knowledgeable customers on the planet in a warm & welcoming atmosphere. You soon become a friend when you arrive and leave a good friend for life ❤️?“
“Flintlocks Bar and Grill is a neat little place. Great service. Awesome staff and customers. Very welcoming. Even have live music. And the stuff I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. Heard they have an amazing fish sandwich… gotta go back on a Friday and check it out.“
“Great little bar, a true hidden gem ..hiding in plain sight lol ...very spacious,clean and lots of variety to drink ...have two pool tables ,golden tee and most importantly a vintage bowling lane game ...much more room on the back porch ...will definitely be again“
“Hidden gem in Newport, KY right across the river from downtown Cincinnati...excellent list of private single barrel Bourbons that pair great with their excellent selection of cigars. Easy going ambiance and great service. Kudos to Ms. Summer and Mr. Dallas.“
“This is the best bar in Covington! They have great fast service. The owner and bartenders go above and beyond to remember their customers and their drink orders:) Great place with a really awesome outdoor area as well! Ask about their train shots! Thanks Chris and the Paddy’s staff for always making a night out an enjoyable experience for all!“
“This place was excellent. Brisket was on point along with the cowboy beans.Their white bbq sauce is where it’s at with the brisket.Also. Shout out to service. First time here and they were invested in making sure it was a good experience.Nobody is going to leave here disappointed.“
“This place was very good. One of my favorite things was that for the kids they had a paper table cover they could draw on with crayons. The staff was very friendly and our server was very attentive. We got a cheese deep dish, a sausage deep dish, some pepperoni French bread pizza for my son and lasagna with garlic bread for my daughters friend. All of it was very good but the sausage deep dish was out of this world. We spent about $75 plus tip on it. The price is the only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars but it is worth it to go here every now and then. I'll definitely be back.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: They have crayons and paper table cloth the kids can draw on.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible“
“An LGBTQ+ mainstay in the heart of Mainstrasse! A friend invited me for a visit, and I am so glad he did! Haven’t been in 15 years. Rosie’s is fun, clean, beautifully appointed with wood features and clever signage, and mostly just full of really great folks and bartenders.“
“The perfect place to get your Kentucky hug on! When I think of a Kentucky Bourbon Bar I think of OKBB with their fantastic selection and relaxed vibe. At OKBB you can get yourself good pours, merch and a bottle barrel pick to go all in the same place!“
“It's a cute well done little bar. Nice out doors area, very affordable. It's still looking for it's customers tho. Currently here at 9:30pm on a Friday night and there's 4 people here counting me and my girlfriend. We'd probably come back just as a cheap drink to get out for a minute or a pit stop to other places.“
“. This tiny taqueria is a gem. The food is fresh and sublimely delicious!. I LOVE THIS PLACE !. The Guacamole is great.. The Camarones Tacos (shrimp tacos) features 3 small soft tacos with tender, boiled shrimp, shredded cabbage, guac, and the most wonderful Tamarind sauce (sweet and fruity).. The Carnitas Tacos (pork tacos; 3 small soft tacos) has tender flavorful morsels of pork, with onion, guac, and a savory sauce- only slightly spicy.. I recommend the refreshing house-made limeade, called Agua de Limon.. This restaurant is a tiny, very narrow, storefront. Of the two exterior doors on Main Street, enter the left (In) door; when you leave, you use the other door.. The restaurant interior has colorful wall murals and just a few small tables in the back of the space. They do offer carry-out.. Parking on Main Street is limited, but there is one (pay) public lot just across Main Street, and another (pay) public parking lot about 1/2 block away at 7th and Main.“
“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.“
“Very interesting restaurant with great decor. Most of the food we ordered was delicious and came out quick and hot even being a busy evening. Very skimpy on the bacon on the double decker BLT (only 4 slices on the entire sandwich but taking out the middle bread made it normal lol..) the bread was buttered and grilled which was way better than toast in my opinion.. Mac and cheese bites, onion rings, cheese sticks, corn dog bites, and pretzel bites were all "store" bought (not homemade) but delicious and of great quality! I have a pet peace on microwaved soft pretzels because they are gummy and get hard too quick but these were not!! I'm sure they are baked and seemed to have butter drizzle with the salt and were fantastic!! boneless wings were big in size and they definitely aren't stingy with the sauce, which was a plus! Buffalo chips (Saratoga chips) have no spice on them but are handmade and good regardless.. service was mediocre (no asking if food was good, finally saw the empty glass and grabbed on passing for a refill, had to get her attention and ask for the check) but it was busy and everything was fine besides needing a refill.. temperature inside was super chilly so bring a jacket! Seemed to have a large variety of alcohol which is a plus to anyone who drinks I'm sure! Very loud atmosphere but that's expected in a wing place! Very reasonable pricing! Would recommend!!Kid-friendliness: Had crayons and a coloring sheet for kids along with a kid menu“
“Not only was there a fabulous selection of bourbon, but the Newberrys were so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I learned more about the history of bourbon in my few hours at this establishment than I have in all the tours and tastings I've done. We will definitely be coming back!“
“As a disabled person who uses a rollator, this venue is pretty accessible to me. The entrance is flat. There's a ramp to get to the sanctuary (it is a little steep, though, it might be hard to push someone up it). from what I remember, the bathroom was technically an ADA bathroom. In reality, with all the people crowding in there, it would be difficult to get a rollator or wheelchair in there. (I didn't take my rollator to the bathroom with me because the concert was so crowded and definitely regretted it because the wait was so long),There's no disabled parking on the street near the entrance, so my friends usually drop me off at the entrance and then find parking.I also like the look of the venue and how you can tell it used to be a church and has stained glass windows.I don't drink alcohol and appreciate the multiple soda water options“
“Excellent German food and beer, brewed in house with the authentic German recipes. The atmosphere is straight out of Munich, down to the shared table space and huge outdoor biergarten. Whole the German food is excellent, the cheeseburger for kids is made of steak quality beef, it's amazing! Komm bitte!Kid-friendliness: Reasonably kid friendly, has a good kids menu, the cheeseburger is made from the best beef I've had in a restaurant, and the pretzels are always a hit“
“We enjoyed "drinks & a show" in this little speakeasy-style upstairs bar as we watched bartender/manager Chris prepare a variety of drinks – many of which involved fire! They have a huge bourbon library, interesting cocktails, and Goodfellas pizza right downstairs.“
“What a fun vibe! We went there New Years Eve, pretty early in the day so it was empty besides us, but absolutely loved the atmosphere. They have plenty of green space (which is dog-friendly as long as fido doesn't potty), food vendors, various seating spaces, large televisions, curling, other games, photo opportunities, and more. If being outdoor isn't your vibe, they have a covered heated section (where the walls can come down in the summer) as well as in actual in-door bar where we got some delicious gingerbread old fashioneds. I can only imagine how fun this place is when its packed (and warmer). Our service was great - which sound be expected as the only ones there lol but he was nice, friendly, and made a great drink.“
“My Mr and I had some time to kill and wanted to grab a drink before the show (at the MegaCorp). We walked by Wooden Cask and with no hesitation, went in. So..it's been YEARS since we've been to the Levee and they definitely revamped this area. More stores, restaurants and libations! They too partake in the Banks atmosphere. Walk around the area with your drinks. This place is very small but has so much to offer. I've been to their original brewery (loved it), I was impressed that they've up their game. Now their serve their craft beers on tap, wine, mock tails, seltzers, bourbon, and food. Their food menu is very small. Flatbreads, wings and sandwiches. We didn't have time to try but I know we will be back. Overall a great experience. The bartenders were cool and pricing was definitely reasonable.“
“The cocktail menu is incredibly extensive. There is a smaller seasonal/specialty menu at the front of the booklet. As you keep looking, you’ll see their spirits list. Underneath each list is a menu of classic cocktails using that spirit. Our bartender was so friendly, helpful, and not pretentious about offering clarification which was very welcoming. There’s definitely an atmosphere of curiosity and experimentation, and they’re willing to mix up the spirit on a classic cocktail as evidenced by our party ordering a Mezcal Last Word (which was great!). We were given complimentary tapas with our cocktails and honestly I’m still craving those fenugreek crackers.“
“Top tip - if you want a casual beer or cocktail, or indeed great glass of wine - head to Jerrys. The girls behind the bar that day were great !! very friendly and we had a great chat, although I understand they were only temporary. The place is awesome but small. expect a bit of nudging in busier times at the bar. the beer was cold. the cocktails were great (if a bit sugary) and they had a great organic/natural wine list. we had the arepas (3) 2 beef one chicken - and we left the topping selection to the lady who was cooking them (from scratch) they were great. Add to this great decor - kinda mid century modern, and you have great little bar !!“
“The food tasted great and our server, Markey, did a terrific job. We were seated in the side room, and a large, noisy group was seated next to us. The room is all hard services, so the acoustics are bad. My guest and I sometimes could not hear each other.“
“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!“
“Best little dive bar in Covington. Beer is cheaply priced but a good selection of cans and bottles kept ice cold in the fridge. Bartenders are very friendly and happy to make recommendations if you need one. The atmosphere is low key little dark inside good amount of seats at the bar and several tables. Not much parking in this area just on the street but plenty of places nearby to hop over too. They also usually have some art supplies so leave a doodle behind for the next person!“
“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.“
“Our wedding was a couple weeks ago, and we still have people reaching out saying our wedding was the most fun they have had at one! Betsi made all of our wedding dreams come true. The food was AMAZING. We did the plated dinners, guests could choose between steak and chicken. We received countless compliments from our guests about how good the food was, that’s how you know it was that good! The entire room was served very quickly to which ensured our timeline for the reception went according to plan ? All table decor and set up was included in our package too! We came on Friday to help set up and to our surprise Betsi already had everything done! She really made the entire process stress free. The venue is beautiful too. From the lighting to the chandeliers to the backdrop behind the head table everything is included which is super rare to find in a wedding venue. What you see is what you get. The staff were all really friendly and efficient! We had open bar, and the bar was ran so well that there was never a line! Keep in mind we had 230 people and the majority were 21+. Betsi who is the main wedding coordinator is top notch. She really went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. She was there every step of the way if we had questions, but with how hands on she was made planning the reception so easy which took a lot of the stress off of us. Words cannot express how truly grateful my husband and I are for the Syndicate staff and Betsi for all they did to make our reception so special. If you decide to have your reception there, you will not regret it!“
“Best neighborhood bar hands down!!! Everyone is like family and so welcoming — whether you’re there every week or it’s your first visit, Amy and Todd go over and above to greet and serve their patrons. From special holiday events and bus trips, to their recurring live music and karaoke, this place brings it when it comes to a local favorite hot spot. Great drink prices and fun shot concoctions don’t hurt either. And where else can you bring your own food in to enjoy or door dash in?! Love this whole vibe and feel like family every visit.“
“Wow! If anyone knows me...I love hometown bars! I was pleasantly surprised when Dan and I stopped in... the place was very clean (coming from a veteran of the cleaning business). The staff /not to mention the owner ..we're very kind and attentive. Thank you for your hospitality. We will return. We will bring friends.“
“TLDR: go here, order everything, have no regrets!We hadn't been since they moved to Newport. The building is an adorable converted home with fun and beautiful decor. The staff is all friendly and attentive. Our server Kelly was fantastic! Everything is priced reasonably, especially considering what a unique and high-quality experience you get.Our food was phenomenal: Eggplant Napoleon, Classic Buttermilk Biscuits, Angry Orchard Cider Onion Soup, Fried Chicken & Waffle, and Voodoo Salmon with Safron Purloo.I went there with my spouse and we ended up taking home 2 biscuits, half of each entree (chicken and salmon), and the table bread. So come hungry and plan to take home lunch for the next day!Biscuits: 4 biscuits. Came with honey, butter, and jam. A southern staple perfectly executed.Eggplant: I will dream about this for years to come. If you have never tried eggplant, this is the fish that will make you a believer. Eggplant was thinly sliced and breaded. Not slimy (if you eat eggpant you know this is always a risk at restaurants). The cheese in between laters tasted like soft seasoned cream cheese. The red sauce was also well seasoned and full of veggies. Mmmmmm.Soup: kind of like a BBQ French onion. These ppl know how to layer flavors so well. Every bite you can identify something new.Chicken & Waffles: the breading on the chicken is devine! There's a reason they're famous for Chicken. Sweet potato Waffle, bacon, pecan butter- what's not to love?Voodoo salmon: nice crispiness on the outside of salmon, but still fell apart wonderfully (how perfectly cooked fish should). Sauce, rice, andouille, crawfish- fancy southern at its finest.Thank you to all the Purple Poulet staff- you are part of something really special!“
“I have known "Big John" from when I worked with him at Fed EX. He is a great guy, Great owner, and will take care of you. If you're looking for a Nice hole in the wall joint with great prices, this is Definitely the place to go!- Shane K.“
“First time visit to 927 Reserve and I was very impressed. The atmosphere is outstanding with cool finishes inside and a nice sitting area outside with firepit. Live music from the Shadwell Band was awesome. Great selection of bourbons and the bartenders were on top of their game. Great place to hang with friends or watch a game.“
“The most amazing Kayak industry! So much fun and clean water you will ever see in the Ohio area! Matt was the greatest employee I’ve ever encountered. I got lost and he saved me with boat. I was so scared and he made me feel better!!! Thank you Matt and green acres“
“Have not been to a bar in years but had a friend in from out of town so decided to stop by during Presidents’ Day weekend. Karaoke was happening and everyone was having a great time! The bartender was on top of everyone and their drinks even with it being pretty busy. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was the ability to smoke inside was a little much for non smokers but was still a great time.“
“The bar is clean, bathrooms are clean and the back patio overlooking the ball diamond is clean with comfortable looking furniture and two pool tables and two dart boards. The draft beer is cold, fresh and inexpensive! Bartender was very good and friendly- Loyd was his name I believe. Exterior looks sketchy, however the interior is clean and although somewhat dark, it was welcoming. If I lived here, it would be my go-to place“
“The food is epic. It definitely over delivers. The wings are fantastic, brined, rubbed, smoked and I am assuming fried prior to serving. The flavor is fantastic, even with the tame (by heat) sauces. These are easily on par with Knock Back Nats wings and not as spicy, so they probably appeal to many more.I also had the Smoked and Fried Bologna Sandwich! Epic! Tater tots are really good, and the kids' chicken and waffles were also excellent. We will be back for sure. I suggest you try this place out if you hadn't before. Being inside Alexandria Brewing Company is also a bonus as they have some pretty solid beers as well.Ok we went back on a Saturday. And they definitely need to step up their game in the kitchen. They took orders with buzzers. Why they don't take all orders as they come is beyond me. wouldn't you want to know what's incoming? I don't know. The food was great the first time. We've been waiting 2 hours the 2nd time. Perhaps come on a weeknight and expect slow service.? Not a great 2nd experience.“
