“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.“

“No complaints other then prices that need to include a fair enough valuable product for versing cost tax and tips this place is great so why don't they be fair value for what they charge you know and offer more come products like Tropicana fruit punch and gluten free things or ways the meat can come with no juice for people that want that room for condiments or other sensitivity reasons and if you got pork why not pulled pork steakhouse style the longhorns way ?“

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.“

Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time“

Prim Bar • $$
70 West 5th Street, Cincinnati - 6.78 miles

“This was a pretty cool vibe. If you like a little dark and intimate, then this is going to be a pretty cool fit for you. You'll find parking somewhere in downtown on the street or whatever the case may be and you'll hop in. There are a couple of different sides to the establishment:
- A bar that has seating when you come in is fine to sit at
- The side where you will get the lounge action so that's where your seats and lounge couches are set up

I hear that they do live music at some point in time or another so that's going to be pretty cool at some point. I didn't actually see that when I was there but at the same time they did have music playing and it was actually pretty dope.

The bartending staff was pretty cool. I only went for one drink just to give it a go. I got an Irish espresso martini and it didn't have the things that I asked for but they were comparable. The menu itself is very intricate and they can explain it a lot better. I was going for the tried and true.

Either way it goes I thought it was a pretty cool experience and it's a thing that you could do for a date night or something like that I guess.“
