Pretty cool dive-y style bar. One of few places in Covington open after 1am in the weekend. Good crowd, busy, fun vibes.They also have screens with sports streaming.

Best Happy Hour in the Cov. Ask for Rob. He'll take care of you and your friends. Nice selection of beers and bourbon.

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.

Honestly the best cocktail bar in the city. From the endless options of drinks to the educated bartenders, you will always walk out of here with a smile on your face. If you come during happy hour especially you will not be disappointed! By boyfriend loves their old fashions and I can always find something on draft that is amazing! There's a handful of TVs in here to watch if that's what you're looking for in a bar but I wouldn't by any means consider this a 'sports bar' or the right place to catch the game. If you're coming you should be coming for the great drinks, and that should be more than enough! They do not serve food here but if you're hosting a group they are more than happy to let you bring in your own food which is a plus!

Over multiple attempts of trying this place out, I have not once had a good experience with a bartender here. Doesn't matter the time of the day or how many people they have, they treat you like you're a nuisance for just ordering a drink (even a canned beer) and they don't want you there. A smile, hello, or a simple nod has seemed to help me during my own time in the service industry.

It was our first time back at the hannaford in a couple of months and what can I say, I just really love this bar. It's the perfect mix of divey and delicious cocktails. It's unpretentious but it's classy. It's clean and welcoming. The bartenders make delicious cocktails. The prices are reasonable. We loved the seasonal spicy Margarita. It's rare to find a spicy Margarita that is actually spicy.

Great vibe and custom drink options - everyone in our party thought their cocktail was good enough to make this a target stop next time we are in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky.Don't think OTR, the Banks or Mt Adams are the only places for a good night out - make the journey over to this area around Hannaford and enjoy some great options...with Hannaford as the star of the area

Small casual bar with stylish flair and impressive drinks! | Cost per Drink $10 | Rating 9/10Pros: Any occasion, affordable, good cocktails.Cons: No activities, new bartenders don't make the drinks as well.Me and my group of 6 came to celebrate a friends birthday Friday at 11:30. We dressed up a little bit, the other patrons were casual but it all still fit the vibe. Interior is dim, intimate, and social. We took the lounge sofa and chairs for ourselves but other high tops and bar seating were available.Music was very good (hip hop, alt-rock) with Touchtunes should you want to change the mood.The drinks from the head bartender were 10/10! I ordered three as I was so impressed and they were all well balanced, mixed, and visually pleasing when served. Make sure you get the senior bartender as the junior needed to double check their mix and it was not well blended leading to a too sharp citrus taste that the senior avoided both times he made my drink. If you have a plan or even if you don't Hannaford is worthy of your evening.

Cool little bar in Covington! We went during Happy Hour and it was such great deals - got an old fashioned for $4.50! Tons of liquor and beer selections, but the cocktail menu wasn't too big. The bartenders seemed as if they would know a lot of delicious drinks to make!
Fav bar in the entire city. Drinks and tasty and big for the price point. Love the vibe of the place. Also hella fun to go to after a wedding at the hotel covington

I usually love this place but the happy hour bartender during the week is always so grumpy. Very negative and sort of mean, shouldn't he want tips? Hard to go here for happy hour when he's working. I love the rest of the staff, always willing to make a whiskey sour for me. By far the the best in the city in my opinion. I would definitely come more if he wasn't so grumpy. Not trying to hurt a rating on one guy, just wanted to put that out there.

I'd say we had poor service, but we actually had no service. After sitting at the bar for 12 minutes, watching the bartender pour himself shots and tell stories to a couple of the 7 or 8 other people in the bar, we left. It was pitiful.

A pretty good bar in Covington (on Madison, near some good food spots), especially for happy hour. They make good cocktails.
