Lounges near Covington, KY

“Awesome place to check out some very rare, vintage spirits.“

“I stopped in when I was visiting from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Cameron, one of the bartenders, knew his stuff, was great for conversation, really helped me sort through the private barrel selections, and helped me have a very interesting and excellent time there! He helped me settle in on a bottle that was truly unique and fantastic. Cameron and Carl were both amazing! Definitely someplace I would stop back every time I’m back in town which is pretty much annually. Thank you, wise guys as the name fits both in terms of the tradition back with the mafia and the wisdom offered by the folks that worked there. Super grateful!

Not to mention the pizza downstairs, it was pretty damn fantastic!“

“Cozy, quirky, and charming! Visited for the first time, but will return!“

“Friendly atmosphere! Great service! Cold beer!!! Everyone was singing with the band!!!“

“Amazing night out with five star drinks. The atmosphere, the music, the service and the drinks were equally awesome. Music was exactly the right volume that we could still talk to our friends.“

“My girlfriend and I really enjoy the atmosphere and music at Nostalgia. I like the diverse crowd; a little bit of everybody there. Younger, older, and business people all enjoying good music and good vibes. For the record Im 49 yr old Blk male.“

“Polite and friendly staff. The food was amazing👍 The D. Burnhams burger was delicious🍻 4.5 stars.“

“Dedicated staff to understand needs and smartly advise.“

“The Lackman is hands down one of my favorite bars in the city, and a huge part of that is thanks to Cindy. She’s the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, always remembers your drink, and somehow keeps everything running smoothly even when the place is packed. Super friendly, fun to talk to, and just all-around great at what she does.

The vibe at The Lackman is always on point, cool without trying too hard, with a solid drink selection and some really creative cocktails. But honestly, even if the drinks weren’t as good as they are, I’d still keep coming back just to sit at the bar when Cindy’s working. She really makes the place special.“

“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“

“My go to. The friendliest employees. 🫶🏼“

“Tillie’s Lounge is one of our favorite establishments in the city! This bar manages to strike a balance that most can’t... it’s polished and well-decorated enough to avoid the “dive bar” label, yet still feels relaxed, homey, and completely unpretentious.

Drink prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere invites you to settle in and stay awhile. The bartenders are incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to Randy, Vince and Luna for consistently providing excellent service! The establishment is always clean, and the restroom upkeep is especially commendable, considering how tough it can be to maintain single-stall facilities in a busy bar environment.

Tillie’s hosts a variety of fun, themed events that showcase diverse and talented performers. We especially love their brunches and open stage nights—they’re always lively, inclusive, and full of great energy.

There’s a true sense of community and camaraderie among the regulars, yet newcomers are always made to feel welcome. The crowd is friendly but never overbearing, which adds to the overall charm.

Tillie’s is truly a hidden gem. As much as we’d love to keep it to ourselves, it only seems fair to share it with the rest of the city. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re certainly missing out. Stop by and support this lovely little establishment!“

“Experience would have been perfect, but service was terrible. We were visiting Cincy and the hotel told us about Härth. We sat toward the front of the bar & nobody came to take our order after being there for about 10 minutes. My husband went to the bar & tried to order. We were told that a server would be around. Another 10 minutes & we didn’t even see a server milling around. We tried to order at the bar again & bartender said he’d bring the drinks. Finally got them after another 10 minutes. Not one time did a server come by in the hour we were there. Tried to order a second round at bar & we were told the same thing. Waited for a server, who never showed, so we closed our tab of 1 drink a piece after being there for over an hour. I had a coffee drink & it was delicious. The music & the vibe were great. I so wish the service would have been better or even a bit friendlier. I will go back when we visit again. I just hope they have more people working or a new bartender.“

“the rooftop restaurant! Probably had the best seat in the city to view Great American Ballpark and the riverfront, not to mention an awesome view of downtown. Atmosphere is more like 10-star. Then when it came to our waitress, Abby. 1000% off the charts incredible service. Again, a 10-Star rating. We will be back!“

“Our meal was FANTASTIC. Delicious, with gorgeous presentation. We came in dirty snd hungry after cold, rainy geology field trips associated with a conference. The food was beyond our expectations, and the desserts were the best chocolate cake and best crème brûlée. ever. We’re sorry we didn’t eat here every night we were in town!“

“A great time with great ppl and music not to mention the drinks are on point !“

“Service, menu, price, atmosphere are my favorite in all of Cincinnati.“

“My friends and I come to japps all the time and always have the best time! There is so much character in the space and the bartenders are always delightful and attentive. Special shout out to one of the bartenders Ryan, every time I go there he always remembers my drink preferences and has the best recommendations when I want to try something new! This is the perfect spot to go to on the weekdays for a happy hour drink or on the weekends if you want to dance. Highly recommend 10000/10. Oh and there’s a photobooth (;“

“Went on a dinner date and decided to pop in this place for a cocktail, great vibes and awesome back room. Sai was my bartender and made me a great sidecar with a few modifications based on my personal preference without a fuss. Will be back regularly.“

“The overall atmosphere and the staff was wonderful“

“I have been a regular for 6 months and sai and tori have been fantastic bartenders they make me feel like a person and always very kind and in good moods and its not easiest job to be in such a good mood all the time with pressures of dealing with so many people they are fantastic“

“This bowling alley has exactly 1 downside and that's that they dont have a standard set of house balls. In the cincy area, Walts has the best lanes, best prices ($11/2h during the week, $14/2h on the weekend), best maintenance, possibly the best pro shop with Hitts, almost always has lanes available if not running a tournament, great staff, etc. 100% my recommendation for anyone looking to bowl in the cincy area.“

“Such a cute, intimate spot. I loved the 90s aesthetic! The vibe was super chill and staff was great. Went on Caribbean night and the DJ had it bumping! Heard some jams I hadn't heard in over 20 years mixed with some newbies. Great night!“

“Not open right now but soon!!“

“We came up from Arkansas to visit our friends and just happened to come in and try the deep dish pizza and wings, and WOW, absolutely delicious and well worth the trip. now every time we come back to Cincinnati, its an official stop of ours!!“

“Best wings, greens, mac n cheese...............it is all great food! Service is always great! You need to be eating there like now!“
