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.“

“Crystal didn’t just serve us food — she ran a full-on Top Gun mission. Absolute legend. She moved through that restaurant like Tom cruse in the cockpit of a fighter jet, locking in drink refills, dropping off food with precision, and making jokes the whole time. She didn’t think… she just did. She was moving at mock 10.2, on point, and somehow everywhere at once. If there was a call sign for servers, hers would be Maverick 2.0.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went to Paddys a week ago and had an awesome Bartender. Molly took real good care of me. I highly recommend checking the place out and getting a drink from her because she knows what's up.“

“Been on my OTR to go list for too long. Finally made it and high expectations were exceeded. My type of bar. No BS. Authentic. Great spot.“

“super nice people with a great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Great speakeasy experience. Sam was our bartender and he was fantastic—super knowledgeable about the craft and gave some excellent drink suggestions. You can tell he really knows his stuff and enjoys what he does. The atmosphere was perfect and the drinks were outstanding. Would absolutely come back the next time I’m in town.“

“We went midday with no one in here and it was great. The prices for the drinks are much better than what I pay at home. The bartender could have been more sociable but she was preparing for the rush hour I assume. There is plenty of seating and the heat on the outdoor patio works very well.
Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time“

“All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. What an awesome and unique venue to see my favorite music played live! I drove from Indianapolis just to see a show, and not a single complaint or regret. How it should always be done. These folks get it. If your band plays out, this is where you want to see them.“

“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.“

“This is 9ne of my favorite little taverns. Its small but has a great atmosphere. Its has indoor and outdoor seating. I love sitting on the porch. The food is always amazing. I usually get the sliders with the side salad and it never disappoints. I've tried a bunch of other things and never once been disappointed. We had some wings today and they were some of the best I've had in a while. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't.“

“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.“

Prices were more than reasonable and hands down the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in a hot minute. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful and the people who went there were absolutely friendly, and I had the best time I’ve had in a long time.“

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

“Popped in after dinner downtown last night and Prim certainly delivered! I have been gushing about the ambiance and aesthetic since we walked in to anyone who will listen. I literally cannot wait until my next visit because the vibe matches my energy perfectly. This place is such a breath of fresh air, not to mention how pretty it smells inside. The decor is to DIE for - literally bury me at Prim when I die. Love, a new regular for sure.“

“BEST PLACE EVER! Truly no other place like Flora & Flair! I started going to this just a year ago and have never turned back to go anywhere else but here. The events are not only fun but of high quality, bringing in great people and vibes. The atmosphere is both cozy and riveting, a good mix of welcoming but electrifying. The staff is awesome, the team behind this place are nothing short of wonderful. They hold events like never seen before, honestly coming here can feel like a once in a lifetime opportunity! Never want the night to end whenever I'm here, love it love it!“

“Had a great time at The Well in Covington. Really appreciated the staff keeping the kitchen open for me—went above and beyond. The bar service was excellent, especially from Brittany. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Vibe was exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely be back.“

“Nice neighborhood bar serving good drinks and pub style food. The food menu is limited somewhat but the taste and quality was very good. Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

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

“Bartender/owner showed my friends and I a great time to start off our night! Streetside parking on the edge of campus. Environment felt very safe and welcoming. I absolutely will come back here and drag more friends. Drinks came out to a great price for any broke college students (about 5-8$/drink.)“

“This place is so welcoming! The customer service is excellent, the bartenders are nice and friendly, and the entire staff! from the moment you walk in until you leave…are attentive and show love. No matter how much you spend, they treat you like you bought the whole bar. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Cincinnati. Thank you“
