50 Best Bars near Cold Spring

“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.“

“Long horn was good as usual. Busy on a Friday night had a party of 12 waited 10 minutes or so. Strange we got two servers and they split the table up it was very confusing because I felt like when we did catch the attention of one of the two they seemed annoyed we were asking for things like refills or napkins. But never the less paid the bill and left. It was a good spot for a family birthday dinner.“

“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!“

“This place is amazing!! Great atmosphere, absolutely fantastic bartenders and very affordable drinks. I stayed in the Airbnb above the bar for Blink 2024 and could not have had more fun after the festival hanging out at this bar!! Could not recommend this place more. 5 Stars 10/10“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Whenever in a town for the first time, we look for an Irish pub. We’re very happy to have found Paddy’s. We had the bar/bartender to our selves for a short while. Discussed Irish whiskeys, history of the bar and more. Had a great time but had to move on. The Casey’s from Michigan.“

“In town for our anniversary. Randomly looked up options for cocktails and lunch. Reserved a spot via Open Table and they did not disappoint. The deviled eggs are amazing. The Dirty French burger and Neck Bone Gravy were out of this world. Service was top notch. We will be back!“

“You can't beat the cocktails here. Price is on point, and so is the profile. The dude upstairs can mix some drinks no matter what you're in the mood for. Legit drinks, not an Applebee's version (unless that's how you asked for it, probably).“

“Great neighborhood bar. Great bartenders, fantastic beer selection, but if you’re looking for food, you’re in the wrong place go across the street or next-door to Mo Chico or Tequila.. This is my favorite neighborhood. Hang out. Parking on the street or across the street in the Paige lot, or behind building on free parking deck.“

“Celebrating our 15th anniversary at The Blind Lemon. Few of our date nights there! My partner Joel
Mellon has been there in 1984! When we met in 2003 we came here often! Our favorite drink is the Grand Mariner warm! The solo guitarist voice was amazing! The magical part of the night was as we were about to leave she sang our song! Norah Jones ‘ come Away With Me’
It was perfect! The night ended well!’

“I’ve always wanted to visit this place as in general l love driving through Ludlow as the neighborhood has a very rustic charm! So we decided to stop by for a couple of drinks on a Monday evening, we were amazed to find the bar was packed with regulars hanging out at the bar and the place had a very welcoming vibe! Mikey the bartender was friendly and fun to talk to and made great recommendations! Everyday of the week they have some specials, Monday night it was Modelo & Margaritas at $4, the sliders were great and so were the fries! There were a couple of owners with their dogs and apparently the dogs love visiting the bar for bacon(pet owners make a note). Absolutely fell in love with this tavern, it’s the perfect blend of fun, casual, cozy and has a great vibe!“

“This is an amazing concert venue. The church setting adds a mystical atmosphere.“

“This is hands down my favorite bar in the city, with the best bartenders around! The cocktails are consistently exceptional, but it’s the sense of community that truly sets this place apart. Wiseguys was one of the first places I visited after moving here from out of state, and Harrison was one of the first friendly faces I met. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and making amazing drinks, he also offered great local tips and made me feel genuinely welcomed both at the bar and in Cincinnati. He really went (and goes) above and beyond! Big shout out to Ellie, Brandon, and Stephen as well – sitting at Wiseguys and enjoying a couple of Sunkissed Sweethearts or espresso martinis with this crew is always a blast!“

“Was in town for the week on business. We all had a blast!!“

“I always have such a great time, and love everyone that works there. 🥳 Great energy and atmosphere 👏“

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

“Super fun! Bars on every other floor, and some of the games are free!“

“Our drinks were amazing the bar manager was so helpful and great atmosphere can’t wait to go again“

“This is a great neighborhood bar everybody makes you feel welcome. The food is good comfort type food proportions are good prices are reasonable. The coolest thing about this location is the music they bring in some great musicians. It's a small venue which sometimes makes it hard to watch the musicians but you can hear fine from anywhere in the bar. We visit the location frequently.“

“😍Just love the Edge Inn Tavern! Been going there since I could sit on my daddy's lap in 1959!“

“The Well is one of my favorite spots in Covington! The drinks and food are always great, and the staff are such fun people. I threw my boyfriend a surprise 30th birthday party at The Well, and it was a night many probably won’t remember but filled with laughs and fun.“

“This establishment is top notch in every way! I recommend the “Kyle” and the “Yolanda Mai Tai” 😊“

“Great place! Kim and Peter make everyone feel welcome.“

“Inviting atmosphere with great coffee and even better service.

I Stumbled upon this cafe on google and learned that it is one of the few coffee shops that are open late into the evening. As soon as i walked in, i noticed that the pillows in top of the seating rows and the great cozy atmosphere that allows people to work while minding their business which is the perfect mix for a coffee spot!

They have a downstairs too and both floors have a patio area which I will try once the weather gets warmer. The downstairs is a more quiet environment but the main floor is filled with vibes and background conversations so it offers both ambiances that a cafe often calls for.

The selection of wine has depth which makes it a good spot to hangout even after the coffee hours are gone.

As a latino, i loved seeing the empanadas on their menu which is a great snack or meal and goes well with coffee.

I ordered the usual, dark toast drip coffee, yet again and the flavor was a bit on the robust side with a hint of bitterness but delicious nonetheless. I had more than three refills of it and was more awake than a meth head at 3 pm in the afternoon!

The barista was so sweet and was more than happy to take care of my refills every time i stepped up to the bar!

Will come back to try their empanadas.“

“Nice food, low key, laid back ambiance. Good service. Cov-gem!“

“Super friendly neighborhood sports bar that plays WNBA games on their delightful patio. Couldn’t ask for more.“

“My husband and I were celebrating our wedding reception with our close friends and family. The staff was so sweet and catering to us all. The drinks were amazing. Jackie was amazing at communicating everything and making all the planning easy for us. I'd definitely recommend that if you have a party or event, you need a space to come here! They will make everything worth your time. If you're looking to take nice pictures, the top balcony has a lovely backdrop of old buildings!“

“Atmosphere 9/10Nice upscale lounge atmosphere with a cool bar in the middle. Bar and table seating options. Quiet music completes the vibe for a relaxing cocktailDrinks 10/10Stylish menu, great whiskey selection. When in Kentucky, you need to try Bourbon based cocktails. Perfect Manhattan was on point. Can recommend Boone County Rye. Whiskey sour was great too - perfect egg white foam. Great presentation too.Coaster game is strong - gives the drink an additional flairService 7/10Nice bartenders. They didn’t serve water (without asking) though, which an upscale bar should do IMO. There was also no reception, to explain if anything is reserved or free to seat. Prices are on higher end for Kentucky.“

“We don't really drink much... but the little we did was very good as was the service. Our main thing was looking for a decent place to play a cpl games of pool from time to time. Their pool tables are very nice. The employees that we've met this far have also been very nice. It's overall a nice place. And by far one of the best Bloody Mary's we've had.
They don't serve food, but sometimes I guess ppl bring stuff in to set up for patrons to share... which is pretty cool.
We just really liked it. ?“

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

“Place just went under new management and I attended a soft opening. The vibe is right. The new owner and service are phenomenal. There's a food truck, outdoor patio, and good tunes. This will be my new favorite spot from now on.“

“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.“

“This place was so much fun and Tiffany was a fantastic host!!! Thank you for making us feel welcome and super comfortable!!!“

“Nothing but the best to say about the Bay Horse Cafe. Our company is right next to him and we greatly enjoy stopping in after work. Kyle is a great owner with everything operating smooth as can be. His staff is also awesome and friendly as can be which is just a reflection of how much Kyle cares about providing a quality experience for his customers.“

“What a wonderful group of staff! We had a blast playing Music Bingo and the food was delicious. We definitely recommend visiting this beautiful establishment. Many kind thanks! We’ll see y’all again soon. 🥰“

“Benefit fun and pub crawl “Be like Katy” afternoon“

“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!“

“The bartender Carole is the best!!“

“Loved this place! Great atmosphere, music and cocktails ♥️“

“Great vibes and food we will be back.“
