“pop in on a spontaneous visit after a concert ( at the worst named venue in history) after searching places open wind down before heading back across the water.. and damn was pleasantly surprised by this place! a true dive bar, just the way I like it... the bartender was amazing and welcoming to our first time in, the beer selection is nice and the bottle selection is great too!“
“Amazing! We had the Cuban (so delicious) and torta carnitas. We also had El Cubo that came with a bottle of champagne and 3 juices (pineapple, orange & strawberry). It’s so bright and beautiful inside. We can’t wait to go back again and again to try all their dishes! We had the best Sunday dateKid-friendliness: Perfect place for a brunch and mimosa or a family day out“
“Old fashioned dive bar with exactly the food you'd expect. It's not going to win a chef competition but it doesn't have to. The food does the job and the drinks pick up the slack. Awesome bartenders and the place never gets too crowded.“

“I cannot say enough positive things about this spot. We went and it was very busy, but we were quickly seated and to our surprise the food came out decently quick and was absolutely delicious. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful with our questions on menu items. We can’t wait to go back!“
“If you are in the mood for BBQ of any kind, do not pass Pig Candy BBQ by. In fact, you should go out of your way to go to Pig Candy BBQ. (we went to the Kellogg Ave location) It was EXCELLENT. We had the Potato Bomb which is a huge baked potato with your choice of meat on it. I had the brisket on it. The brisket was so tender and so tasty. The sides of chili, cheddar grits and cole slaw were just as good. My wife had the BBQ meat quesadilla and of course EXCELLENT. Dominick took our order and was so pleasant and patient. He gave us all the info we needed about each dish as we took our time looking at the huge menu on the wall. Then when we were eating, he came by not once, not twice but 3 times to see how we were doing. When Patrick brought our food out, it was with a smile. Seating was comfortable with padded chairs inside (some). They have an outside porch area but a bit to chilly and rainy to go out there. BTW...my friend who needs to eat gluten-free was ecstatic about this new place he could go to.“
“Charming old world home with Sicilian brick oven! The team was wonderful and very friendly. I travel frequently and always seek out small brick oven pizza's to try. I am excited to say that this is now my new favorite! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful and the crust is outstanding! It is an easy walk from Newport Aquarium, which means I will be going again and again. The cannoli pie is a great way to finish up the meal and will not disappoint. The owners were there and engaging and so welcoming!“
“Came here with a friend who frequents this place and I'm pretty impressed. We lined up on Easter at opening and they already had a line out the door, even in the light drizzle. The line stayed that way over the next hour that we hung out there. They do sell out of items so it's best to get there as early as you can! I'm more of a sweet tooth when it comes to baked goods, but the everything bagel croissant is a must-have here. The staff heat it before serving, and it's truly the best of both worlds - the butteriness and flakiness of a croissant, with the garlic scallion seasme flavors of an everything bagel. The raspberry almond croissant is also delicious, a good balance of tart and nutty. The salty chocolate chip cookie was also good - large chocolate chunks throughout. The vegan matcha brownie was an adventurous pick; I'm usually iffy about vegan baked goods, and this one had a texture closer to a fudge than to a brownie. I liked the chocolate and mint combo but couldn't get a hint of matcha. Similarly, the raspberry matcha doodle had plenty of raspberry but 0 matcha. Overall, the limited edition matcha flavored items fell flat, but the goods off the regular menu were great and reasonably priced. The space itself is bright, large enough to seat a few small groups, and nice to hang out in. Staff are also helpful and friendly. Check this place out and stick to their bestsellers, and you'll be in carb heaven.“
“Great experience at the Empanada Box today. The food was excellent. Great variety. The employees were incredibly kind. They offered the kids complimentary cookies. 10/10! Our favorite was the Miami and Bordeaux empanadas. The ship and rice was excellent too.“
“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“
“Great little restaurant. Even has outside dining, when the weather warms up.Parking: Parking is what gives them 4 stars instead of 5. There is some meter parking in front and an extremely small lot behind the restaurant. Then free on street parking in the neighborhood behind them. If you are going at a busy time expect to do laps around to find a place.“
“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Cass at Hi-Wire Brewery, and I must say, her service elevated my entire experience to a new level of excellence. From the moment I walked in, Cass greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that instantly made me feel welcome.Her knowledge of the brewery's offerings was truly impressive. Not only did she expertly guide me through their extensive selection of craft beers, but she also provided insightful recommendations tailored to my taste preferences. Cass passion for the products shone through as she described each brew with enthusiasm and detail, making the decision-making process an enjoyable journey.What truly set Cass apart was her exceptional customer service. Throughout my visit, she consistently checked in to ensure I was enjoying my experience and was always ready to assist with any questions or requests I had. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued guest, and it's clear that she takes pride in providing top-notch service to every patron.Overall, my time at Hi-Wire Brewery was made unforgettable thanks to Cass outstanding service. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine hospitality are a true asset to the establishment. I look forward to returning soon and experiencing her exceptional service once again. If you're looking for a memorable brewery experience, be sure to ask for Cass at Hi-Wire Brewery – you won't be disappointed!“
“The best ice cream place ever!!! They make my chocolate malt exactly how a malt should be. I don’t even have to say extra thick! These shakes are as thick as it gets. I love their slushies and soft serve. They have a great menu for great prices. Unbeatable prices a small shake is just $3!!! Be sure to tip them too.“
“I have visited nearly every coffee shop in NKY, there are few that I literally think about weekly wishing I lived closer to visit more often. Unataza is top of that list. Their atmosphere is warm and inviting from the decor to the employees there was never a moment I didn't feel welcome. They serve Honduran coffee that is rich and blends beautifully with their homemade syrups and flavors. They rotate flavors with the season but majority are house made and festive. Their espresso drinks I could order by the dozen and I'd still want more, they're that good. They also serve authentic Honduran food from breakfast to lunch, they're a great compliment to a sweet drink. I adore this place and wish I lived closer to visit more but each visit here is such a treat.“
“Atmosphere 9/10Amazing open air cocktail bars with 4 different lounge area and completely different vibes. There is something for everyone. A lot of international elements (signs from all over the world) and cool design elements. Also a nice bar in the middle of the main room.Drinks 8/10Decent signature menu, containing classic cocktails with a “twist”. Espresso Martini tasted great! I missed a nice coaster thoughService 9.5/10Very friendly bartender team. Serving water without asking. And I loved their dog treat dispenser and attention for furry friends. No reservations needed. Prices are good for Cincinnati tooWould recommend to experience this bar during daylight and ideally, when good weather. Suitable for big groups!“
“Good stuff, good service. Never a terrible wait......the staff is pretty efficient. I can see why they have been there forever and a day.Parking: Limited number of spaces and not the greatest of neighborhoods. Not sure about handicap parking, even though the shop and lot are handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream shop. If that isn't kid friendly I don't know what is.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all at ground level. There isn't a step or even an incline to traverse. So should be handicap friendly. Not sure about handicap parking though.“
“My boyfriend and I just left Agave and Rye and we were quite delighted with our experience. We have been there previously and haven’t been back in a while due to the poor customer service. We finally decided to go back and I have to say it was a breath of fresh air to have Livia as our server after the past few experiences. The food was great, our server was so polite, helpful and attentive to us. We will definitely be going back soon, highly recommend!“
“I have been to this location a few times over the last few months, and today was another lovely experience! The barista was incredibly friendly and kind, and made a delicious americano. I got there right as the pastries came in, the blueberry danish is delicious!“
“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.“
“My recent visit to Boba Cha was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone. The menu boasted an impressive selection of boba teas and other refreshing beverages, each bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients.“
“My partner and I tried this brewery right after we went to urban artifact, Right across the street! The vibe is wonderful! Super cozy and inviting ! Alicia (one of the owners) was super helpful and kind ! Can’t wait to come back ! The sour cherry seltzer and the farmhouse ale were amazing!“
“Great food. I love that they have gluten-free bread options and their coffees are amazing too. The staff is always friendly and the homemade pastries are delicious. I also love their mission. Local people helping local people. Great breakfast food and dinner specials. Chef Gigi is the best.“
“I’ve hosted events at this venue and had a wonderful experience. Kind and professional staff, great atmosphere. If you like sours, there’s no place that does it like Urban Artifact. They have the best selection with a ton of variety and seasonal options. I’ve yet to try one that I haven’t liked, but Teak is my go-to favorite.“
“Best birria than anywhere. we go here all the time. So good. I love the guti fries. Sunday brunch is always lit. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the flavor of the food is not consistent. Some days it's flavorful and some days it's bland. I guess it depends on who's “
“WOW, it smells so good inside with fresh made waffle cones. We were so excited that you had vegan and gluten-free options. My husband enjoyed vegan chocolate ? chocolate chip. While I savored lavender and cookie dough.The Lavender is amazing. ? Your taste buds explode with excitement. It really is delicious. This should be a franchise with its unique look and, of course, the ?golden ? spoon. Thanks for offering water, just like an old ice cream parlor. ?“
“Great spot with decently good coffee and the best avocado toastie I have had so far. The dirty Naty sandwich is also very good. We tried the honey latte and mocha. They also have the option of some selected pastries. Overall it's a great cafe the only drawback I felt is that it's a little expensive. The avocado toast alone costs $12, without an egg. If you can afford it you should definitely try it out.“
“Just a sweet bunch of gals working here.... I would not say working, I would say living! They seem genuinely happy to be here and makes you feel as if the place is yours also. Check out my ? with sausage, real egg and real cheese ? priced way under 6 bucks! I come for the coffee and stay for the food/smiles!“
“For a place that is clearly listed as a bar it has incredible food. It's a cool neighborhood bar that seems to have plenty of locals I went there with a few friends to try the food and I must say the Pork Schnitzel Sandwich and the Giant Pretzel with Beer Cheese were incredible. If you are looking for a fun hangout with a cool outdoor area and good food it's worth a visit. One note is the place is small so it can get pretty cramped in the small indoor space they have.“
“Everything about this place is just wonderful! Our go to is Italian Street Panini but everything is delicious. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and can’t wait til the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the cute patio! Owner and all employees are super friendly!“
“Very cool and fun concept - the prices for their drinks changes depending on how many people are ordering that drink! Although fun, it also means you're perhaps paying more for a tastier drink ;) but in general, all of the prices are reasonable anyways! They had a lot of fun stuff going on when I was there - a lot on their TVs, trivia, and some other games in the back. Drinks were good, and I had a great time!“
“Let me start off by saying that I was having a really bad day, just leaving the hospital & randomly found this location as I googled ice cream places for a quick pick me up. So happy I found this gem! Janet was so sweet and welcoming, and her kind gesture will have me return as a repeat customer!I ordered a dole whip & honey… it was so, so good! My partner order a sprinkle cone and he loved it, too. Just a heads up - they are cash only at this time, so bring some coins with you!“
“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!!!“
“Doctor's order, cut back on the sweets. Now and again I have to stray away from my diet and have something from "Sugar!" Good cookies,brownies,some cake and more. May need to get a cookie cake for my birthday this year. Better work out. Check out one of, if not the best cookie place in cincy.“
“First of all - this place is awesome! Located in Madisonville on Madison road. I didn't know that walnuts and spaghetti went together, but after ordering the dish I am convinced this is the way. The spaghetti was made of veggies, and it was very much a fresh dish. I also ordered an Oreo cupcake that I enjoyed. The wait was about 20 mins but the food was fresh. There was plenty of street parking, which I didn't expect. I can't wait to come back in the summer time for ice cream.“
“We visited here before a play at the Aronoff, a 2 block walk. Our server was excellent. I had an Old Fashioned and the pastrami special , very good.However the half chicken was a bit dry, and overpriced at $30. The other meals at the table were good, it being Friday lent the menu was a bit “
“Love the environment, the setup, menu, TVs, music selection and customer service I received. Although I've only attended a couple of times to dine and have a drink with friends. There was only one major disappointment that saddened me. The prices aren't very budget friendly. To register and participate in the classes/events is WAYY over the top. Theres a way to still make healthy profit and cover costs without charging ridiculous prices. I was very impressed and excited to see the classes and other calendar events they were hosting. The ideas and themes chosen I thought were perfect. I was genuinely excited as a customer who has just joined the community just shy of 3 years ago and ha e been looking forward to finding ways to to meet fellow neighbors but to get involved with my neighborhood and support our local businesses!!“
“Recently rented the upstairs space for my friend's Bridal Shower and it was amazing! Great space, great music, lovely people, very accommodating & helpful... just wonderful overall! In addition to a wonderful venue experience I also have to say the wine was delicious, I highly recommend the Black Sheep Rouge, which is one of the Revel Winery wines. Deep & smooth!“
“One of the best classic soft serve cones I've had in a long time. What made this taste even sweeter was the staff. I was in line behind a small family and the enthusiastic energy that was poured onto the kiddos just made my heart melt. Kinda childhood ice cream memory heaven if you ask me:) You made my day!“
“I had an amazing experience at Pins recently. The service was excellent, great vibe from the staff, specifically Andy who provided over the top service and some great conversation to top it off. Would highly recommend going to Pins for your next group outing“
“This place has been on my list for a while and I’m finally glad I got to visit! Ordered the classic double smothered, a capirinha (I don’t see those often!!), and the yuca fries. Certainly one of my favorite burgers in the city for the simplicity and how easy it is to handle. Although I would have preferred more fries on the plate, those crisp, savory yuca fries were to die for. And like I mentioned before, there’s only so many restaurants I can find a caipirinha so I will certainly be coming back! The one star off is only because when my girlfriend ordered the veggie burger, as delicious as it was, it fell apart almost immediately.“
“Local brewery and distillery close to Findlay Market. Focus on German style beer and clear spirits like rum and vodka. You can see the production area from the inside. An outdoor patio is available for warmer spring days to come.The menu is bar friendly. The Loaded Tots were very good. Unfortunately, I ate them all before, I thought to take a picture. ?“
“This was a great experience. I didn't have a brew that I didn't like at this place. I'm a stout guy and there was a healthy selection of those. There are a lot of places that go all-in on ipas, but this place has something for everyone. The staff is friendly and my glass was never empty for longer than it took me to decide my next beer. Would definitely come back when im in the area“
“I've walked past 1215 so many times on the way to somewhere else. We were out and I was craving an espresso martini, so we figured the wine bar and coffee lab was the perfect choice. I was skeptical of ordering their fancy version or a traditional espresso martini because of the mention of chocolate. I'm not a super sweet drink kind of person. I went out on a limb and decided on their fancy version (top model or something like that?) It was sooooo good! Service was fantastic.“
“My girlfriend and I look forward to going here every weekend. I was cautious about leaving a review because I didn’t want anyone to know how great this place was. It should be packed more often. Great beers, amazing food, and awesome people.“
“We had my mom’s 80th birthday dinner and it was simply amazing! Kate was a tremendous host and helped me consider all the details to make the event very special. We had happy hour and charcuterie in the front room and then dinner in the barrel room. What a beautiful and unique setting! All 31 of us were at one, long table and it was just gorgeous. The drinks- especially the WINE - and food were outstanding. We had a GREAT time. I highly recommend Kate and the Skeleton Root winery for your special events and business/corp team events.“
“O'Bryons is the epitome neighborhood bar and restaurant in Newport. Service is courteous, friendly and timely. The bartender is very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Food is above average while being prepared well and fresh. The chicken wrap and chicken wings were tasty. Prices are reasonable for the area. Parking is a bit of a challenge with it all being street parking. Overall a good experience and worth trying out.“
“Great atmosphere and music. This place is the perfect hole in the wall experience for excellent music. A+Parking: I took a Lyft and there was no issue at all. Driver was familiar with venue. Plenty of parking on Saturday night.Kid-friendliness: Bar tenders are very professional and very fast. I was impressed with the speed and quality of service despite it being busy.“
“First of all, Jack the bartender, is amazing and absolutely added to the atmosphere of this place. He was welcoming before I even sat down at the bar and was the perfect dinner friend for a solo traveler.For all the folks looking for a good time surrounded by great people, this is the place to be!As a bonus, the beer is really good and the food is awesome! I tried the Ranch Brined Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries that come with ketchup. But you gotta order a side of ranch!!! Ranch needs to be added to this dish automagically. It smelled so good I didn’t even take a picture of it! So I guess you just don’t get to see it until you try it yourself.“
“Amazing quality craft beers.Not overly expensive.Great customer service.Anything can be sampled generally.Whiskey Wednesdays are funCalista flockheart is easily my favorite.Family friendly.Clean, and the vibe is calm and welcoming.Not a homey place.More hipster.“
“Tasty croissants and good coffee options. Decent place to hangout with your coffee and get some work done. Only downside are the long lines during the early office hoursWheelchair accessibility: Street access and you have a wheelchair ramp indoors for the store access“
“Pretty nice little spot. They were out of pretty much all the food at the truck by the time we got there at 8pm on Friday night. The bar staff was amazing. The beer was pretty good too. Nice spot to stop along the way if you're going to multiple bars.“
