“We were visiting from Buffalo and my wife had read about the distillery in whiskey advocate so we wanted to take a tour . We really really enjoyed it . Carus - I hope I spelled his name correctly gave us the tour and it was very informative and fun getting the chance to talk to him and ask as many questions as we wanted. It’s a neat little distillery with excellent products , a cool backstory and a nice bar area for excellent cocktails . Definitely worth stopping in to support them - your new friends and fans from the Buffalo area- rob, sue and Tim 😊“

“Stopped by after a Mardi Gras parade & got some very well made cocktails. There was live cover artist singing some of my favs. The bartenders worked the crowd well as there wasn't much of a wait between drinks on my tab. Definitely returning to drink through the menu.“

“This place has such a great atmosphere! Great food and very friendly and attentive service! Will definitely be returning!“

“Anjou is a beautiful cocktail bar in the dainty neighborhood of Walnut Hills. On a warm evening, Anjou props open their windows making the whole place hip and relaxing. I quite enjoyed their light and refreshing ube cocktail. Paid parking can be conveniently on the same street.“

“Chill vibes, great staff.. phenomenal drinks“

“great drinks amazing bartenders good food!!!“

“My wife and I went here with my parents who live nearby. We'd been here once before, and I know we'll keep going back when we visit Cincinnati. I had the cortado before, because cortados are delicious. This time I had drip coffee and the overnight oats, which were super good. It was the day after Christmas and very mellow inside. The staff are really nice and friendly. We found a cozy booth to sit in and spent about 30-40 minutes there. Highly recommended!“

“Tillie’s Lounge is one of our favorite establishments in the city! This bar manages to strike a balance that most can’t... it’s polished and well-decorated enough to avoid the “dive bar” label, yet still feels relaxed, homey, and completely unpretentious.

Drink prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere invites you to settle in and stay awhile. The bartenders are incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to Randy, Vince and Luna for consistently providing excellent service! The establishment is always clean, and the restroom upkeep is especially commendable, considering how tough it can be to maintain single-stall facilities in a busy bar environment.

Tillie’s hosts a variety of fun, themed events that showcase diverse and talented performers. We especially love their brunches and open stage nights—they’re always lively, inclusive, and full of great energy.

There’s a true sense of community and camaraderie among the regulars, yet newcomers are always made to feel welcome. The crowd is friendly but never overbearing, which adds to the overall charm.

Tillie’s is truly a hidden gem. As much as we’d love to keep it to ourselves, it only seems fair to share it with the rest of the city. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re certainly missing out. Stop by and support this lovely little establishment!“

“The energy in the place is something special. The mixology is some of the best in Cincy and the music and atmosphere is such a vibe. We enjoyed listening to incredible jazz musicians and sipping the most exquisite cocktails. A gem in the downtown area, don’t miss it!!!“

“We just held a large party for my moms birthday here. I never leave reviews but felt like I should! This place is perfect for parties! Staff are great - Jess the manager is very responsive for planning the event and Yogi was awesome before and during the party !! Definitely recommend.“

“The bartender was awesome and crafted a lovely mocktail for me. Nice outdoor seating area and casual atmosphere.“

“I feel like this is more of a vibe-type bar for eating in with friends. Our family ordered VERY expensive take out and it was good, but didn't knock our socks off.
Definitely take visiting guests to show off Covington, but probably not a top options for families that just want a meal to take home.“

“Loved this place. First time and will definitely be going back. I suggest the beef sliders and salmon tacos. So tasty!!“

“Wonderful Vibe. Great atmosphere!“

“Love the music love the events definitely worth the cover great merch stands excellent food good patio vibes. Even if you can't afford the show just drink and eat some amazing foods in the bar lobby and vibe“

“Fun, intimate little bar with a "Hemingway" vibe. Imaginative themed cocktails named for Hemingway characters & events... really charming bartender and a dark "tropical" environment. (Bring your own snacks) Enjoyed this great "moody" hangout. Pineapple Upside Down Daiquiri was especially good!“

“Awesome, 1st time ❣️………we will definitely be back!!“

“When I arrived the very first time, everyone was nice. Smiles and hi's. I introduced myself and the guy I spoke with was very nice and found out we liked had a lot in common. Found out later he was the owner. U may think he did that for business, but he was genuine. The place is always open, and I made a lot of friends there. I want to move back here just to visit as much as possible. Sincerely, Larry Straub“

“Not open right now but soon!!“

“Went out looking for a Sunday Funday vibe and stumbled into Beeline at Newport on the Levee and we were blown away with the views, the drinks, and most importantly, the laughs with our bartenders Louisa & Haley! I must say that the Night Train cocktail hit the spot!“

“Came in during Bockfest and was really impressed. The place was packed, but the bartenders were still attentive and friendly the whole time. They took the time to answer my girlfriend’s questions about the cocktail menu, and they made me a fantastic Old Fashioned. Great service even in the middle of the chaos.“

“I have been a regular for 6 months and sai and tori have been fantastic bartenders they make me feel like a person and always very kind and in good moods and its not easiest job to be in such a good mood all the time with pressures of dealing with so many people they are fantastic“

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“Shareable menu items that are tasty and unique…smelt fries and duck fat fried potatoes. Delicious. Great service and oh yeah - Longfellow charm all the way.“

“The Lackman is one of my favorite spots in Cincy easily. Their vibe was exactly what you want in a neighborhood bar chill, friendly, and full of history. I love stopping bye for a quick drink or making a whole night of it.

Bartenders are fun, fast, and genuine they gave good recommendations. All my drinks were great. Also as a big coors banquet enthusiast I was so happy to see they carry it.
Everything was priced fairly. The crowd is a perfect mix with an enjoyable atmosphere. It should be on your bucket list for Cincy bars.
The Lackman is a must.“

“over 200 different gins. good tapas. live music.“

“My wife and I went to this restaurant today, after a great recommendation from one of my employees. This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is completely top notch! Literally better service than I have received probably ever, and we go to A LOT of restaurants. Literally, my wife’s napkin fell to the ground and after I picked it up, the lady who was the host to us seen it and brought her a new one. Drinks did not run dry, and every single member of the staff was helping out and conversing with us. The owner and chef even came out to shake my hand. What an absolute gem in Cincinnati. This is a place NOT to miss out on. And don’t forget to order the cornbread! Hands down the best I have ever tasted. We left and wished we were hungry again and could turn around and go back inside.“

“Come and enjoy nice people and great food“

“This place is a 6/10 in.my book. burger was over cooked, wings also. the bacon cheese fries were atrocious. cold cheese, something that I assume was bacon before it was cooked to 1980s baco bits. the coney was a 7/10. it tasted like something was missing. I was really looking forward to this place but I have high expectations for a $16.00 burger. it was thin (the new trnd is called smash that means thin) and cooked to a point that lost it juices.(not that I was asked how I wanted it cooked) its a cozy ..ok cramped space but cool vibe but sorry waaaaaaay over priced for the quality of food we were served our server was ok. Im not mad just disappointed“

“Y’all, Francesca is the best. These are the best croissants I have had in Cincy, and some of the best coffee. I came in to pick up a birthday cake and Francesca spoke with me in Italian and was so, so kind and generous. Definitely go see this place.“

“Excellent service and Food. Compliments to the Chef and staff. Had French Pork Chop. Absolutely phenomenal! Fried Green Tomatoes - best I’ve ever had! Martini was also perfect! Very classy place! Highly recommend! Wish there was a location near me!“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful!! Their patio area just amazing!“

“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs! My family owned an Italian seafood restaurant in NJ for 26 years and I can say without hesitation the meatballs here are the best west of Arthur Ave in the Bronx! My NJ mind is blown!“

“Great espresso, coffee, and other beverages. Always happy to support local.“

“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.“

“My husband and I stopped in today for lunch after seeing it recommended on Google. The fresh focaccia with olive oil and balsamic were hands down the best I’ve ever had. My husband enjoyed his wedge salad and we split a highly delicious pepperoni pizza. Mike and Maddie were so welcoming! We even got to enjoy their brand new outdoor umbrellas which gave such a nice touch to their outdoor dining patio. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later! 🥰“

“OK, I keep going back thinking that there’s no way that they’re food is as good as I remember. I’m wrong every time. It’s delicious!“

“Absolutely fabulous experience! Amazing food, drinks, and fun vibes. The roasted eggplant is to die for, and the Sauvignon Blanc blend was fantastic. Great time with friends and wonderful staff made it even better!“

“The best cheese I’ve eaten! I live 100 miles away but stop in every time I’m in Cincy. I buy it at Christmas for neighbors gifts and they look forward to it every year.“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“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.“

“We just had to share a huge thank you to Quarter Bistro for making our son’s night so special! Our 17-year-old son took his girlfriend there for homecoming dinner on Saturday. We had told him to make sure he was ready — check prices, reservations, have enough to tip, the whole parent talk. He chose Quarter Bistro because it’s a place they always drive past, and it felt special to them even though they’d never been. He came home absolutely glowing! He said the food was amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect — even if, in his words, it was “all older people” 😂. The best part? The manager came out, told them how much he loved seeing young couples there, and took care of their bill. That kindness meant the world to him — and to us as parents. Thank you so much to the staff and management for such a thoughtful gesture. It made their night unforgettable. ❤️ We’ll definitely be visiting soon ourselves!“

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

“good food nice area“

“The pizza is always really good! The employees are always welcoming and friendly. I love this place. I eat here at-least once a week!“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

“What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).“

“Absolutely must try the Crabby Ben. Real crab meat atop an eggs Benedict with house made bacon jam. It’s to die for!! 🥚 🦀“
