49 Best Pubs near Covington

“Typical Covington pub. Very good attention. Variety of drinks and excellent prices. I liked that they served me a drink in a glass glass (unlike their neighbors who only offered plastic glasses, the kind that you grab and your hand sinks in, how horrible!). I recommend!“

“Have ended many a night here over the span of many years, this place may not have the trendiest drinks nor the hippest crowds, but it has real people happily working and patronizing. A real gem, old Cov as it gets! Beautiful back bar, perhaps the most gorgeous in all of Kenton Co. Serves 7oz Little Kings, that says it all. Don't change a damn thing! Okay, maybe the name...“

“Yummy drinks, friendly service!“

“My favorite new neighborhood bar! Very reasonably priced beer and mixed drinks. Warm cozy feel and a spacious outdoor patio. Karaoke on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Plenty of parking. They have some appetizers that are very good for a small bites menu. Mitch, Elizabeth and April are all great friendly bartenders always up for conversation. They have a ample televisions and will honor your request to put on whatever games are happening currently. Stop in! Right near the CSX train trestle on Pike Street.

Vegetarian options: They offer air fried chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, potato wedges etc

Parking: Plenty of street parking for free meters are turned off at that time I usually arrive. Parking lot across the street as well.“

“Such a nice little bar! The bartender Justin was absolutely amazing. I am 7monthsl pregnant and my husband and I stopped in and he was just such a doll and made me some awesome mocktails! Had amazing conversations. Happy hour is quite awesome too! Not from the area but will return just to see him! Thanks again!“

“Best bar in Covington and northern KY.“

“One of the staff thought it'd be 'funny' to try and steal my purse. I was watching the band play and he tried to take my purse from me. He only stopped pulling on my purse when my friend and I yelled at him. He tried to play it off as a joke. I didnt get his name. We left after the incident. This place is not safe for women when staff are behaving like this.“

“Went for a fun night on cinco de mayo. Drinks were really good, enough staff to run the bars and great music! They had a taco company in the back with amazing food at fair prices considering it was an event night. Plenty of chairs and tables outside to relax.“

“Neighborhood nar and grill where I felt welcome as an outsider. The burgers were cooked perfectly to order. My burger (medium well) came out with a patty the measured roughly 1-3/4" thick and 3" wide. Some don't like so thick burgers, but it was juicy and cooked perfectly to order.“

“Really cool intimate bar and venue space. Great drinks. MOTR Burger and fries were OUTstanding. What is it with bars having the best food?! I ain't complaining.
There were metal acts playing - Trash Knight, Eatt and Deady. Coming from Pittsburgh which has an awesome music scene I was really happy to have gotten to listen to these bands, they were awesome. Go to MOTR Pub and check out these bands music!!“

“Honestly, where do I start? The bartenders are patient, kind, and professional. This is the kind of place that can go from slow to packed out in 30 minutes, and the bartenders are never phased. This family owned bar provides great service every single time. Best poured Guinness in Cincinnati easily, beautiful location, and perfect hole in the wall spot! Dare I say best bar in the Cincinnati area? Yes, it is!!!“

“Great people and always so much fun!“

“I've been here for karaoke on Fridays a few times and it's always a lot of fun. The place is a little cramped, but they have a back room with some games and outdoor seating when it's nice. Bartenders are friendly and do a good job.“

“Popped in on Saturday night to see our friends in That One Party Band!! First time there and we had a blast!“

“such a nice place the owners are wonderful and very welcoming very clean inside and out watched the Bengals game there for Monday night football had a blast we will definitely be back!“

“Truly a wonderful experience. I have been here before and it was awesome. Brought my boyfriend to try it. His grandma is from England. He grew up with all these dishes. Loves to cook them. The environment & great food brought back many good memories of her. Thank you for that!!! Our server was genuine, efficient & friendly. Yummy food. I had your Fish- wow! The best!!! Thank you!!! ❤️.“

“Friendly neighborhood pub. Not sure if they serve food. Only saw popcorn. Drink prices reasonable, pours were generous. D.J. was soinnin' some great music. He did an 80's block that took me back to the ridin the rails skatin days. Thumbs High. ?“

“Highly recommend! Great service, great food and even better drinks! Atmosphere is chill and the staff is always friendly. Love this place and will continue to visit. Simply the best place in Delhi!!“

“Went here for a retirement party, we were given pretty much the run of the place. Staff was fantastic, running frequent small orders to everyone. Had a nice arrangement for cake and ice water was provided.
Close enough for people to attend after work.“

“I didn't order food from here but the drinks were great, friendly bartender and all around a comfortable place to have a drink and chill after a long day. Has plenty of seating, music playing and a couple pool tables if you want to play. There is also some kind of lottery machine so you can play the lottery. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about this establishment.“

“Wowzers! My wife and I really enjoyed this place. We went for lunch on a Thursday, so things were slow. This enabled us to fully appreciate and take in the atmosphere. It's a very clean establishment and decorated to match its name. Service was polite and attentive, assuring that our needs were met. The Food is very delicious, and I could tell the ingredients that made our sandwich were not subpar. All was excellent, except this only point I will make, the French fries. They were just okay, still good. A suggestion I'd make is crinkle cut, paired with the mountain of a sandwich i received, and I would of been sent to the moon of Europa. Okay, I'm being told by my wife that I've typed more than enough.

Go there and enjoy! Don't forget the Reuben wonton as a starter.“

“Think about your favorite comfort food. Do you feel that? That is exactly what it is like eating the Scottish/British version. Whether it be fish and chips, bangers and mash, or one of their delicious soups. The vibe is a pub atmosphere but the food is like a warm blanket.

Parking: There are many paid parking lots within walking distance.“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“We dined here as a large group for a working dinner. Usually the service for this type of setting is understandably babe minimum. That was not the case here. The servers were outstanding, organized, efficient and very friendly! Very impressive and appreciated. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the German Sausage Platter which was an Avril Bleh bratwurst, beer baron sausage, brussels sprouts, applekraut, garlic mashed potatoes, whole grain mustard demi. This dish was hearty, savory and good to the last bite. We tried a few different beers here. I will say their German style beers are very good and well done. The Emancipator Dopplebock was my favorite here. Id stay away from the more American styles like the IPA's. The Juicy Press IPA was truly awful. Thank you Moerlein for a great dinner and excellent service!“

“18 different beers to choose from! The bartender was welcoming and offered recommendations based on what we typically drink. Food is available, but we didn't try anything. No dedicated parking lot, but we had no problem finding a spot on the street nearby.“

“A quiet and welcoming little nook nestled amongst all the glitter of nearby franchises it offers a simple and inexpensive menu. We were greeted quickly upon arrival and offered our choice of seating. Bartenders and waitstaff introduced themselves and genuinely inquired about how your day has been. If you’ve been here before they remembered you. Dinning was relaxed and easygoing, no rush to order or pressure to upsell you. Food arrived quickly presented simply but attractively. Prices are reasonable and much lower than surrounding venues. Thanks for a really good experience Ian. Anytime I’m in Cincinnati I’ll be coming back.“

“great food and very generous portions“

“Great bar for local live music every night (especially the blues), including open mic Tuesdays. Almost all shows are free (generous tips much appreciated).

There's a rich history and great story about the bar and building it's in. Lots of cool photos of musicians plus Marilyn Monroe and other classic era celebrities).

The bar was full of friendly music lovers and bartender Kyle was awesome - made me feel right at home.

They have a patio and you can get food too. It's also a short walk from Newport on the Levee.“

“Awesome place with an awesome bartender. Great beer on tap and was shocked at the $2 surprise beer being a decent craft. Lots of space for hanging out. Plenty of people playing board games and card games when we showed up. Definitely dog friendly. There was like 5 dogs hanging out when we visited. Cozy and pretty quite space overall. Plenty of side street parking nearby. Definitely would go back!“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Can’t be. Better place to Eat and Drink Food is Outstanding and so are the Drinks The other great thing is the outside Seating and the Groups they Schedule to Play Outside Go McCoys!!!!“

“I love love love this hometown bar! The Arnzen family & staff treat everyone like family. It’s literally like Cheers. They know your face and remember what’s going on in your life each time ya come in. I’m a Loveland native myself so I love the small town vibes.“

“This place is cool! It's basically your local neighborhood bar with an awesome bartender! Stop in and see Kiki! They also have a great music selection with a pool table. The interior could be updated but that doesn't bother me one bit. This was our 1st time coming to this establishment and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back!“

“Hospitality amazing the environment, amazing and all the coworkers just amazing. I even had a conversation with the owner, even more amazing and then the food, Man, I Swear I could’ve slap somebody mama how good this food is, but I’m not smacking nobody I’m sharing it today ??? I love you guys. Thanks..“

“Crows Nest is a west side staple. I last minute showed up with 25 people for a birthday - they had wonderful food and great staff that accommodated a crowd in a professional manner and were extremely kind. Highly recommend this place for their food and atmosphere!“

“My wife and I were out shopping in Crestview Hills and decided to stop by The Pub afterward. The location couldn’t be more convenient, tucked right into the shopping center, and it’s a refreshing alternative to the usual chain spots that lack personality. Walking in, you truly feel like you’ve been transported straight to the UK—this place has that authentic vibe down to a tee.

The staff here are fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. We weren’t super hungry, so we decided to split a regular fish and chips. They were kind enough to plate it separately for us, which is one of those small gestures that really elevates the experience.

For drinks, they offer a few local brews, but I’d recommend going for the imported options. They know their stuff, and the selection feels like a real UK pub experience. If you’re after something unique that won’t break the bank, definitely give this place a try. It’s a hidden gem that stands out in a sea of chain restaurants!“

“Went there for the first time tonight. I had the beef tacos absolutely hands down delicious tacos. The service was great The bartenders are so friendly and welcoming. The cook came out and asked me how was the food and was there anything she could do different never experienced that before I will definitely be back .. . The atmosphere was happy ..nice place lots of tvs .. I highly recommend“

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“Love the French fries and the Italian grinder! Yummy“

“I just photographed a wedding at the Syndicate and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure I was taken care of- which is saying a lot since I was just the photographer! Stunning venue for your event or reception. I would definitely recommend.“

“First time checking this place out. I will definitely be back. Becca was our server. She was attentive and very friendly. The food and drinks were great! Thank you Becca! The Greek spaghetti was awesome and the odd drink spaghett was really good!“

“I've been here for years and although it still looks the same, the food is still delicious. This laid back, corner bar and grill is just what you want during the week when you want a burger and beer. Love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing. They did add some outdoor bar, which is awesome!“

“Biker Bar ??, I was down there for a benefit ride for a local M/C Brother that has cancer ♋ and a great guy. Raising money for his medical bills. The service was great, the food was really pretty good. The bar is really pretty nice size with a big pole barn without sides in the back yard area great for music etc. really good place and bar.

Parking: It's on the street parking ?️, but with motorcycles, pretty easy.“

“Good time great people enjoy“

“I really like this place. The drinks are cheap, bartenders are friendly, and Pac Man for a quarter. Usually pretty laid back during the week, but can get lively on weekends. Nothing flashy or hip, just a little neighborhood hole in the wall done just right.“

“we set our food truck up here for a bday party,everyone was great and supper nice,great little pub,“
