“Stopped in today and it was awesome. We are newbies to the bourbon world and Brad treated us as if we had been high end customers forever. The selection is excellent and the service can’t be beat! We picked up a nice bottle to commemorate our visit and got it at a great price. This is a must stop for anyone interested in bourbon or vintage spirits!“
“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“
“This place is so cute! Had Ethan as our server twice and he is such a sweetheart. He makes excellent recommendations and was so helpful and fun to chat with. Even during a busy night he was attentive to our table. Our food and drinks are always delicious and I love the ambiance here. It's like a fancy little old school renovated diner/ speakeasy type vibe. Love this addition to Mainstrasse!“
“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.“
“The San Francisco dog is vegan and so good. You wouldn't think hummus and guac would be good but it is. The tots are even great. Oniony and flavorful. Service is great. The place is a hole in the wall in the middle of houses. Off the beaten path of mainstrasse. Not too far though. Just a couple blocks. I bet it is a popular local spot.“
“Always a vibe , mid day or at night or trivia on Wednesday. An Aperol is my go to but the cocktails are amazing. Make sure to grab some food. The fire pits and the TVs outside are great for baseball and football season. Be sure to add this on your list. It doesn’t disappoint.“
“It's a cute well done little bar. Nice out doors area, very affordable. It's still looking for it's customers tho. Currently here at 9:30pm on a Friday night and there's 4 people here counting me and my girlfriend. We'd probably come back just as a cheap drink to get out for a minute or a pit stop to other places.“
“A cool setup with a variety of drinks! Located on the 'second story' of a building, this place is uniquely designed. The first thing you may notice is the huge tree at the bar. The bar is basically designed around the tree adding a level of uniqueness of the bar. You'll find casual seating at the bar, more intimate lounge type seating to the left, or venture out to the rooftop area where you'll find the famed football goal post on the roof. Plenty of space for large groups. I imagine this is a popular spot in the summer on the rooftop. Drinks were great and overall good price point. Would come back!“
“An LGBTQ+ mainstay in the heart of Mainstrasse! A friend invited me for a visit, and I am so glad he did! Haven’t been in 15 years. Rosie’s is fun, clean, beautifully appointed with wood features and clever signage, and mostly just full of really great folks and bartenders.“
“This is the best bar in Covington! They have great fast service. The owner and bartenders go above and beyond to remember their customers and their drink orders:) Great place with a really awesome outdoor area as well! Ask about their train shots! Thanks Chris and the Paddy’s staff for always making a night out an enjoyable experience for all!“
“I visited Mic's Pub 3: The Last Stand this past Friday night. The service was great. The ambiance is exactly what I was looking for. The bartender brought fresh popcorn to our table, for free may I add. They offered a nice selection of bar food. Fresh soft pretzels with cheese, hot dogs, chips, etc.. The bartender was very quick to serve drinks to my large group when we approached the bar. The prices and selection are the best in the area. No matter where you were sitting you had a view of multiple flatscreen television that had the games on. The bar also had golden tee, multiple electronic dart boards and keno. I will definitely be adding Mics to my rotation of hometown bars to visit on a night out!“
“The perfect place to get your Kentucky hug on! When I think of a Kentucky Bourbon Bar I think of OKBB with their fantastic selection and relaxed vibe. At OKBB you can get yourself good pours, merch and a bottle barrel pick to go all in the same place!“
“Best little dive bar in Covington. Beer is cheaply priced but a good selection of cans and bottles kept ice cold in the fridge. Bartenders are very friendly and happy to make recommendations if you need one. The atmosphere is low key little dark inside good amount of seats at the bar and several tables. Not much parking in this area just on the street but plenty of places nearby to hop over too. They also usually have some art supplies so leave a doodle behind for the next person!“
“The cocktail menu is incredibly extensive. There is a smaller seasonal/specialty menu at the front of the booklet. As you keep looking, you’ll see their spirits list. Underneath each list is a menu of classic cocktails using that spirit. Our bartender was so friendly, helpful, and not pretentious about offering clarification which was very welcoming. There’s definitely an atmosphere of curiosity and experimentation, and they’re willing to mix up the spirit on a classic cocktail as evidenced by our party ordering a Mezcal Last Word (which was great!). We were given complimentary tapas with our cocktails and honestly I’m still craving those fenugreek crackers.“
“I have known "Big John" from when I worked with him at Fed EX. He is a great guy, Great owner, and will take care of you. If you're looking for a Nice hole in the wall joint with great prices, this is Definitely the place to go!- Shane K.“
“What a fun vibe! We went there New Years Eve, pretty early in the day so it was empty besides us, but absolutely loved the atmosphere. They have plenty of green space (which is dog-friendly as long as fido doesn't potty), food vendors, various seating spaces, large televisions, curling, other games, photo opportunities, and more. If being outdoor isn't your vibe, they have a covered heated section (where the walls can come down in the summer) as well as in actual in-door bar where we got some delicious gingerbread old fashioneds. I can only imagine how fun this place is when its packed (and warmer). Our service was great - which sound be expected as the only ones there lol but he was nice, friendly, and made a great drink.“
“We enjoyed "drinks & a show" in this little speakeasy-style upstairs bar as we watched bartender/manager Chris prepare a variety of drinks – many of which involved fire! They have a huge bourbon library, interesting cocktails, and Goodfellas pizza right downstairs.“
“Have not been to a bar in years but had a friend in from out of town so decided to stop by during Presidents’ Day weekend. Karaoke was happening and everyone was having a great time! The bartender was on top of everyone and their drinks even with it being pretty busy. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was the ability to smoke inside was a little much for non smokers but was still a great time.“
“Best, cleanest bar in town, with the best, coolest bartenders... and now they have Yuengling! The jukebox is always playing, the music is always great, and there are speakers rigged up out back so you can enjoy the deck and covered patio area without missing your favorite tunes. You can always watch the game here too, game here, and the luau is coming up this month with drink specials and food. Check it out if you haven't yet!“
“The Villa Is Just the Place where everyone knows everyone. GOOD People Great Bartender's and they also have some of the best food for your Average Joe Kind of place..Been going there for 20 yearsParking: I'd say around 50 to 60 cars can Park“
“A dive bar type of place with a cozy basic atmosphere. Drinks are cheap for a downtown bar in Covington KY. Service is attentive and friendly. Food is not served but several restaurants are nearby or one can bring food into the bar. Happy hour is unparalleled for it seems to cover all types of drinks. This is not the usual for places that have happy hour. Seating is ample plus space exists to stand.“
“We tried the cheese logs, smoked wings, hanky panky balls and the smash burger sliders. Everything was amazing with great flavor. The cheese logs were huge! I wish I had a picture. The rub on the smoked wings was so good and they were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back.“
“Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.“
