50 Best Pubs near Covington

“My wife and I stopped by Zola Pub & Grill last Saturday—Derby Day—for a bite to eat. It wasn't crowded, just a few regulars at the bar, making it a nice, quiet spot to enjoy good food and good company. We started with the Cajun Cheese Fries (ordered without jalapeños or green onions and sour cream on the side), and they were delightful—served hot and fresh. Unlike some places, the cajun seasoning actually covered the fries rather than just being sprinkled on top, and the cheese was melted to perfection. We also split 10 medium wings which were hot and hit the mark, and my wife, who is a big fan of Caesar salads, absolutely loved theirs. To wash it all down, I stuck with Mich Ultras while my wife had the Country Boy Ciders; they were running a special that night for $3 a can, which made for a very reasonable bill. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional, and since the bartender mentioned they are known for their burgers, we’ll definitely be heading back to give those a try. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food and fair prices, this is a solid bet.“

“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...“

“Recently had a 30th birthday at Molly’s. They were super easy to book with, no outrageous room hire costs! They were very accommodating and we had a great night“

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“was recommended by another DJ fir karaoke 🎤 singing“

“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.“

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

“Had a great time here last Thursday evening. Robert the bartender was the reason we enjoyed our night so much. He was friendly, welcoming and very funny. It’s a nice casual spot in Mt Adams to watch a game or just hang out with Robert!! We tried to return on Saturday night but it was so packed we couldn’t get in. Thanks for the great service, Robert. Hope to see you during our next visit.“

“Gordo's is a true Gem. Everything on the menu is the best version of what can be produced. The Chef/Proprietor is a renowned chef who has studied under some of the best in the world. Each burger and each appetizer reflects a quality that sets this place apart from any other burger place. Give it a try and it will become your new favorite place.“

“MOTR continues to be one of the best places to see both local and touring acts in Cincinnati. OTR is a special place, so having MOTR in the center of it - as the center of it - is really awesome and something I appreciate. Also, who doesn't love super crispy tater tots?“

“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!!! ❤️.“

“Nicholson is always a great place to go before the Aronoff center. We did go early because it gets crowded closer to Showtime. Everyone enjoyed their food – one got salmon, one got fish and chips, one got the pot roast and one got the hot brown. Our server, Deja, was very good.“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best burger you can get. This place is a historic gem and an icon of Cincinnati“

“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.“

“Outstanding crew here does all they can to assure you enjoy your visit. Great drinks, excellent beer selection, and a marvelous menu“

“One of my favorite places to eatOne of my favorite places to eat and hang out! 🍀
We had the best time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day here with a great group of friends. The energy was fantastic — everyone was in green, the decorations were fun, and the pub was packed but still felt welcoming.

The food did not disappoint! We ordered the juicy burger with all the fixings (perfectly cooked and loaded with fresh toppings), a big basket of crispy wings in a delicious sauce, and the chicken sandwich with coleslaw that was fresh and flavorful. Fries were hot and seasoned just right. Everything came out fast and tasted homemade.
The service was friendly and attentive, even on a busy holiday. No wait for a table, which was a huge plus.

Whether you're coming for trivia night, a casual meal, or a lively celebration, Cloverleaf Pub delivers every time. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back soon, hangout“

“Nice neighborhood bar serving good drinks and pub style food. The food menu is limited somewhat but the taste and quality was very good. Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“Went to arnold last night for the first time and we had a blast
The food was fantastic, so was the entertainment.The place was packed, but still, the staff did a great job keeping pace.We're definitely planning to come back

We did! We came back just as good as the first time!! They let ask go upstairs to see the spooky parts!!“

“I always order delivery from the Pub and I love their beer battered fish and chips. Its a large portion and looks very similar to what the original Brittish would serve. For it to be a major chain I didn't expect their fish to impress me however they have always got it right. Their cole slaw isn't bad either and I dont really eat cole slaw.“

“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.“

“This place is now amazing! New Owners! Incredible food... I've had the burgers, the wings, salads and giant pretzel... and the Cajun pasta! There are only winners on this menu! Great beer selection! Clean! Finally this joint is doing justice to Benson!“

“cheers here. good food here“

“We had a surprise party here and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff was very friendly, fun and attentive. It may be a smaller, local bar but if you’re looking for a place for a party… Dixie Club is it! Excellent prices and perfect space for a private party.“

“Good environment and good people! We came here while visiting our family and the food, environment and service were great! I would recommend this place to any one living in the area or visiting! And thank you to the manager on duty, she graciously paid for our meal! It was greatly appreciated!!! It goes to show that there are good people still out there!“
