“I love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful!! Their patio area just amazing!“

“Been on my OTR to go list for too long. Finally made it and high expectations were exceeded. My type of bar. No BS. Authentic. Great spot.“

“super nice people with a great atmosphere“

“We just had our first visit here tonight and really enjoyed it. Good draft beer selection, games for the kids, and the food was also very good! Our kids really enjoyed the pancakes (mini fried pancake puffs) and the portions were large and my husband had the haddock with amazing beef tallow fries. I had the poke bowl but in my opinion it was lacking some sort of dressing or sauce. A little soy, ginger, sesame oil combo would be nice! We definitely plan to visit again.“

“They have what you need and give you what you want.“

“Great speakeasy experience. Sam was our bartender and he was fantastic—super knowledgeable about the craft and gave some excellent drink suggestions. You can tell he really knows his stuff and enjoys what he does. The atmosphere was perfect and the drinks were outstanding. Would absolutely come back the next time I’m in town.“

“Outstanding venue & service!“

“All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. What an awesome and unique venue to see my favorite music played live! I drove from Indianapolis just to see a show, and not a single complaint or regret. How it should always be done. These folks get it. If your band plays out, this is where you want to see them.“

“I would like to give a beautiful shout out to Michelle, my office receptionist at Athletico physical therapy in Fort Mill. Michelle is always where she needs to be mentally emotionally for all of us but especially me because sometimes I have different emotions when I come in she always acknowledges me and meets me where I'm at to make sure that I have a good session with my therapist. I'm grateful to Michelle and all that she does for me and I know she prays for me, thank you, please honor her. I thank you for always being there for me, Athletico Physical Therapy plus my therapist Kristen and her assistant Jeff and her assistant Shelsea. Thank you!“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about my first experience here. The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was relaxing and the cigar selection was great. Will definitely be visiting again especially once the weather turns.“

“This is 9ne of my favorite little taverns. Its small but has a great atmosphere. Its has indoor and outdoor seating. I love sitting on the porch. The food is always amazing. I usually get the sliders with the side salad and it never disappoints. I've tried a bunch of other things and never once been disappointed. We had some wings today and they were some of the best I've had in a while. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't.“

“WOW....first night in Blue Ash, Cincinnati...found this little gem of a bar, great atmosphere. Todd and Josh, me feel really welcome, even though my Scouse accent was difficult to follow 🤣 And the IPA, is beautiful! Differently visit it again!!!“

“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“

“What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).“

“100% satisfaction 100% of the time. I have eaten and drank here many times over many years and I have never had a bad experience with the food, the drink, or the customer service. This place is the epitome of a beloved local bar & grill.“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Nice food, low key, laid back ambiance. Good service. Cov-gem!“
