“Good tap selection. Hundreds of canned and bottled beers to choose from.“

“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.“

“I had a great lunch here and the service was phenomenal. The meat was tender and juicy. I had a great time and thank everyone for that“

“We chose The Post as our wedding reception space and I’m so glad we did. We had a small wedding, roughly 100 people, and it was an awesome party! The event coordinator, Tiffany Hicks, was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. She was so accommodating, thoughtful, and very focused on our experience. We were able to customize our food menu to accommodate some dietary restrictions in our family, which was so appreciated. Everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule. Food was wonderful, plenty of drink options for guests, and having the patio space out front was so nice for our guests! We had an unforgettable night and we cannot thank The Post staff, and Tiffany and Jim, enough for their hard work making our day not only stress free, but very special. I’d recommend them for an event every time!!!“

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!“

“Outstanding venue & service!“

“Wiseguys Lounge in Pleasant Ridge is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you get a great neighborhood-lounge atmosphere that feels welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. The vibe is fantastic, making it an ideal spot to kick back, enjoy some good food and drinks, and spend time with friends.

The staff is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and there’s a great energy throughout the place. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual night out, meeting up with friends, or just looking for a fun local spot to unwind, Wiseguys delivers.

Pleasant Ridge is lucky to have a place like this. Great atmosphere, great service, and a genuinely fun experience—I’d definitely recommend Wiseguys Lounge and will happily be back!“

“The great prices and the great food you can order from the restaurant next door Tom's Papa Dino's Pizza. Always a fun night on Wednesday Karaoke and Live Bands on Saturday nights.“

“Amazing! Kind and hardworking staff who were so fun too! The food was delicious and the wine was great. The cocktails were fabulous. Olives were to die for, the goats cheese was delicious. Try the roast chicken pizza. We ate every bite. The other guests were so friendly and fun. The live music was exceptional. It felt like family and I can't wait to go back. Marty is the sweetest man. Please support this small business.“

“Anjou is a beautiful cocktail bar in the dainty neighborhood of Walnut Hills. On a warm evening, Anjou props open their windows making the whole place hip and relaxing. I quite enjoyed their light and refreshing ube cocktail. Paid parking can be conveniently on the same street.“

“Very friendly and welcoming staff. I asked for a special order coffee and the barista made it perfectly. I like that there are other non-coffee drink options and snacks. Limited but cozy seating indoors, and some outdoor seating as well. Dog friendly. Definitely recommended.“

“The food was amazing! Eli’s BBQ and Pesto Plus was the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time! It’s a must eat“

“Always a great time and a great place to hang out!“

“I love coming here! The matcha is very good and they always have some rotating flavors that are fun. There is a nice private outdoor area and lots of cozy spots inside. Perfect place to work, and everyone is very nice. I really appreciate the hours they are open since I like to come after work and they are one of the only coffee shops open later in the area. :)“

“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.“

“Visited Friday night of BLINK and had a great experience! Burger was delicious from the grilled bun to the fresh toppings to the quality of the meat. Parm tots were crispy and tasty. Staff was friendly. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Drink menu has enough choices to satisfy everyone. Great atmosphere!“

“I knew it would be a cool place when the door knobs were gas pumps. Everything was detailed down to the napkin rings. It lived up to its name for sure. The food was amazing! Our waitress Cozy, I can't say enough about her. She had the best personality, super sweet and when we had decided what we wanted she definitely told us about our choices, like how they are prepared, what they come with and if she had tried them herself. I will definitely be back.“

“Stopped in for beers while visiting Second Sunday on Main after seeing 4 hot guys in a row go inside lol. Very fun and friendly neighborhood bar. Kyle the bartender is awesome! Although I live in Hyde Park I’ll definitely be upping my OTR game and visiting again“

“Four buddy's and I stopped by for our first visit last night. Gus was on point with his attentive service and knowledgeable beer descriptions. Tried the Crazy Norse(I'm not an IPAer, but it was fantastic) and the "Route 9"(a smooth Lager) Outstanding!! 👍👍 The Cod sandwich was excellent!! Ashley's prompt support with the food and drink delivery helped to make our visit a highly enjoyable experience! We'll be back soon!!“

“Always so delicious! Everything we’ve ever ordered has been absolutely exceptional.“

“Such a fun experience! Great atmosphere!“

“My aunt had her retirement party here and rented out the whole place. The drinks were amazing and the appetizers served were PHENOMENAL, I couldn’t believe it was brewery food. I definitely recommend renting out for events! Great environment too.“

“The best place to watch footy in Cincinnati.“

“I never have a bad time at World Glass. The drinks are great, trivia and karaoke nights are killer, but the real reason that keeps me coming back is the bartender Amber. She IS World Glass.
I absolutely recommend this bar to anyone that wants bomb cocktails, fun events, and a bartender with a great personality.“

“Coffee and little breakfast sandwiches are great. Service was also good with no issues. They have a 10% discount through Cafe Passport which I loved! I liked the fireplace in the front but the barstools, chairs, and other furniture are not very comfortable. Does not feel like a place I would want to sit and linger. I would love if they had a comfy couch or something similar, as well as dine in mugs.“

“Wonderful group of ppl with some awesome pizza and calzones. Only thing I wish they also had would be some wings but other than that great experience with my coworkers from Central Window Cleaning out of Columbus“

“EVERYTHING. This MoFo deserves ALL the stars! Great wings, BEST FRIES EVER! - yeah, I said E V E R. The wedge salad tasted like they picked it from the Garden of Eden, made with the world’s best house made ranch dressing- they should bottle that Sh!T. & My drink was top-notch, served by great bartenders in a cozy brick pub, like if Cheers had a “study”. My entree was the Beef on Weck sandwich. All I can say is WHAT THE WECK WAS THAT?! So juicy! So delicious! The cooks in the back were raised RIGHT. Best kept secret in Cincinnati for sure. Stop searching for a restaurant and go here! I’d right this Pony ANYTIME (chef’s kiss)“

“Nice neighborhood-style bar. Family operated, with very friendly staff. They had 11 draft beers on tap, on our first visit, with a great selection of spirits. The proprietor greeted us at the door and introduced us to his son and daughter, who bartended. Expect solid pours, and a fun, chill, friendly vibe. It's the kind of place where you stop by for one drink and stay until close.“

“Awesome Bar! My wife April works every Sunday, Tuesday, and every other Friday! They have every drink you could imagine!“

“Positive and Chill like vibes“
