“Whenever in a town for the first time, we look for an Irish pub. We’re very happy to have found Paddy’s. We had the bar/bartender to our selves for a short while. Discussed Irish whiskeys, history of the bar and more. Had a great time but had to move on. The Casey’s from Michigan.“

“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!“

“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“

“I’ve always wanted to visit this place as in general l love driving through Ludlow as the neighborhood has a very rustic charm! So we decided to stop by for a couple of drinks on a Monday evening, we were amazed to find the bar was packed with regulars hanging out at the bar and the place had a very welcoming vibe! Mikey the bartender was friendly and fun to talk to and made great recommendations! Everyday of the week they have some specials, Monday night it was Modelo & Margaritas at $4, the sliders were great and so were the fries! There were a couple of owners with their dogs and apparently the dogs love visiting the bar for bacon(pet owners make a note). Absolutely fell in love with this tavern, it’s the perfect blend of fun, casual, cozy and has a great vibe!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Brandon, Nate, and Nathan at Athletico Delhi are awesome physical therapists who exhibited excellent team work to help patients of all ages.

I absolutely will come back here and drag more friends. Drinks came out to a great price for any broke college students (about 5-8$/drink.)“

“This is kind of a dive bourbon bar but definitely worth stopping in. Taylor the bartender was absolutely fantastic. They climbed a ladder to get a bottle that we wanted a pour of. We got a flight and the store pick of Russell’s was out of this world but unfortunately not for sale. The restroom was clean. Our only complaint was the bar and the menus were really sticky. Like so sticky that we washed our hands in the fountain outside when we left. However, definitely worth a visit if you’re a bourbon drinker because they have over 500 bottles.“

“Inviting atmosphere with great coffee and even better service.

I Stumbled upon this cafe on google and learned that it is one of the few coffee shops that are open late into the evening. As soon as i walked in, i noticed that the pillows in top of the seating rows and the great cozy atmosphere that allows people to work while minding their business which is the perfect mix for a coffee spot!

They have a downstairs too and both floors have a patio area which I will try once the weather gets warmer. The downstairs is a more quiet environment but the main floor is filled with vibes and background conversations so it offers both ambiances that a cafe often calls for.

The selection of wine has depth which makes it a good spot to hangout even after the coffee hours are gone.

As a latino, i loved seeing the empanadas on their menu which is a great snack or meal and goes well with coffee.

I ordered the usual, dark toast drip coffee, yet again and the flavor was a bit on the robust side with a hint of bitterness but delicious nonetheless. I had more than three refills of it and was more awake than a meth head at 3 pm in the afternoon!

The barista was so sweet and was more than happy to take care of my refills every time i stepped up to the bar!

Will come back to try their empanadas.“

“Our drinks were amazing the bar manager was so helpful and great atmosphere can’t wait to go again“

“The great prices and the great food you can order from the restaurant next door Tom's Papa Dino's Pizza. Always a fun night on Wednesday Karaoke and Live Bands on Saturday nights.“

“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!“

“Stopped in on an overcast Sunday afternoon and was greeted with enthusiasm and excitement. After a quick T&C's for handling projectile axes, we were escorted to our throwing bay and instructed on proper form, safety, and game scoring. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help a couple of noobs learn the finer points of axe throwing. I was asked not one, not twice, but THREE times if there was an NFL game I was interested in, and they put my game of choice up on the mega screen. We had a ton of fun hurling iron, and the staff was amazing. Looking forward to returning with more people to experience the duel.“

“Awesome neighborhood bar! Great prices and very chill atmosphere!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place! Great central location in the heart of Cheviot.

“We hosted our wedding at Knox on 10/11. They were amazing! The drinks, the service, everything. They kept in constant communication with us leading up to the event and had plenty of help for the day of. Absolutely NO snags. Our wedding/reception went off without a hitch. I couldn't recommend this place more!“

Then when it came to our waitress, Abby. 1000% off the charts incredible service. Again, a 10-Star rating. We will be back!“
