50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lakeside Park

“This establishment has been a neighborhood fave for many years. The service and food is top notch, and the ambiance is perfect for families and friends. This is also a super spot for a date. Never be afraid to ask for substitutes in a meal, as they are always happy to meet your needs when able. They have a full bar, a birthday gong if you're celebrating another year older, and wonderful desserts.“

“It's hard to go wrong at Asiana. The food is consistently fresh & flavorful, the service is friendly & personable, while being efficient, and the prices are reasonable and on par with most other quality Thai restaurants in the region. I have yet to have a bad experience there, and always look forward to my next visit!“

“Charming old world home with Sicilian brick oven! The team was wonderful and very friendly. I travel frequently and always seek out small brick oven pizza's to try. I am excited to say that this is now my new favorite! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful and the crust is outstanding! It is an easy walk from Newport Aquarium, which means I will be going again and again. The cannoli pie is a great way to finish up the meal and will not disappoint. The owners were there and engaging and so welcoming!“

“Came here with a friend who frequents this place and I'm pretty impressed. We lined up on Easter at opening and they already had a line out the door, even in the light drizzle. The line stayed that way over the next hour that we hung out there. They do sell out of items so it's best to get there as early as you can! I'm more of a sweet tooth when it comes to baked goods, but the everything bagel croissant is a must-have here. The staff heat it before serving, and it's truly the best of both worlds - the butteriness and flakiness of a croissant, with the garlic scallion seasme flavors of an everything bagel. The raspberry almond croissant is also delicious, a good balance of tart and nutty. The salty chocolate chip cookie was also good - large chocolate chunks throughout. The vegan matcha brownie was an adventurous pick; I'm usually iffy about vegan baked goods, and this one had a texture closer to a fudge than to a brownie. I liked the chocolate and mint combo but couldn't get a hint of matcha. Similarly, the raspberry matcha doodle had plenty of raspberry but 0 matcha. Overall, the limited edition matcha flavored items fell flat, but the goods off the regular menu were great and reasonably priced. The space itself is bright, large enough to seat a few small groups, and nice to hang out in. Staff are also helpful and friendly. Check this place out and stick to their bestsellers, and you'll be in carb heaven.“

“Great experience at the Empanada Box today. The food was excellent. Great variety. The employees were incredibly kind. They offered the kids complimentary cookies. 10/10! Our favorite was the Miami and Bordeaux empanadas. The ship and rice was excellent too.“

“Overall pretty neat restaurant! The menu is very limited - 3-4 options per course with 3 courses in total. Would appreciate bigger selection for this place. It’s not “fancy” enough to offer that limited menuAnd the atmosphere was not the best - a bit old/dated, not in a “antique-cool” way. Very simple interiorMeatballs were flavorfulAnd their duck is really goodHow they decided to bring out a ginger beer, after we ordered a ginger ale, because it is “ginger ale was not available, and this is the closest to it” will remain a mystery to me“

“This place was so cool!!! Pictures do not do it justice. You are just in this little greenhouse oasis in the city, drinking the coolest drinks. Everyone around is nice because it's such a great place that everyone is in a good mood. The bartenders are effortlessly cool and speedy. I will definitely return“

“Got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry and yes that’s what it tastes like!My overall favorite part though was the service. Greeting as soon as we walked in. Explanation of the menu! And then when we received our smoothies they all had cute little sayings, mine saying ‘Make it happen’. I hope they’re different every time bc this little touch really made it a home run and different for me.Thanks for making it happen, Better Blends!“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Cass at Hi-Wire Brewery, and I must say, her service elevated my entire experience to a new level of excellence. From the moment I walked in, Cass greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that instantly made me feel welcome.Her knowledge of the brewery's offerings was truly impressive. Not only did she expertly guide me through their extensive selection of craft beers, but she also provided insightful recommendations tailored to my taste preferences. Cass passion for the products shone through as she described each brew with enthusiasm and detail, making the decision-making process an enjoyable journey.What truly set Cass apart was her exceptional customer service. Throughout my visit, she consistently checked in to ensure I was enjoying my experience and was always ready to assist with any questions or requests I had. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued guest, and it's clear that she takes pride in providing top-notch service to every patron.Overall, my time at Hi-Wire Brewery was made unforgettable thanks to Cass outstanding service. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine hospitality are a true asset to the establishment. I look forward to returning soon and experiencing her exceptional service once again. If you're looking for a memorable brewery experience, be sure to ask for Cass at Hi-Wire Brewery – you won't be disappointed!“

“I have visited nearly every coffee shop in NKY, there are few that I literally think about weekly wishing I lived closer to visit more often. Unataza is top of that list. Their atmosphere is warm and inviting from the decor to the employees there was never a moment I didn't feel welcome. They serve Honduran coffee that is rich and blends beautifully with their homemade syrups and flavors. They rotate flavors with the season but majority are house made and festive. Their espresso drinks I could order by the dozen and I'd still want more, they're that good. They also serve authentic Honduran food from breakfast to lunch, they're a great compliment to a sweet drink. I adore this place and wish I lived closer to visit more but each visit here is such a treat.“

“Good stuff, good service. Never a terrible wait......the staff is pretty efficient. I can see why they have been there forever and a day.Parking: Limited number of spaces and not the greatest of neighborhoods. Not sure about handicap parking, even though the shop and lot are handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream shop. If that isn't kid friendly I don't know what is.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all at ground level. There isn't a step or even an incline to traverse. So should be handicap friendly. Not sure about handicap parking though.“

“This place is genius. Your dogs can run and play with other dogs and you can have a beer and a smash burger. Lee owns the place and he's amazing. He has one rule. Your dogs must be vaccinated and you have to bring a copy of the vaccine record. This is great idea so all the dogs can be safe I will be back to try the food I can't wait“

“Stopped on our way from Ohio to Nashville. Quaint little place. Friendly staff food was very good. Had the Burrata which was some toasted baguette pieces with mozzarella and tomato. Also had a Cobb salad and the special sandwich which was a toasted sandwich and cream of mushroom soup. Overall a very tasty stop.“

“We were in Cincinnati for a bowling tournament so we decided to check this place out. Can't say enough great things about this place. Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Understand you're getting a crafty and creative take on tacos and not the traditional thing and you'll be just fine. The OG Margarita I had was delicious and the skull glass was pretty cool. I had two different tacos that, while pricey, were definitely delicious. I had a bananas foster dessert taco and that also did the job. The flavors are very creative and the portions are pretty solid. Our server, Jordan, was attentive and knowledgeable. We are a group that can be tough on servers in a joking and sarcastic way and he handled it well. Our experience overall was pretty amazing and I'd love to visit one again. Being from Chicagoland the closest we can get is Indianapolis, so we'll see!“

“What a great neighborhood bar that Camp is lucky to have. The music is always on point, the dart room is awesome, they have a great outdoor area, plus they serve Old Style. Kiel is a stand-up dude and runs a fine establishment and gives back to the community. They're always having raffles or selling pull tabs for charity.Update: Anna is a great bartender too. She's friendly, attentive, and quite tactful at dealing with rude and/or condescending patrons.“

“I have been to this location a few times over the last few months, and today was another lovely experience! The barista was incredibly friendly and kind, and made a delicious americano. I got there right as the pastries came in, the blueberry danish is delicious!“

“Very friendly and welcoming! Amazing beers and variety! With the food trucks or pizza delivery to the bar, it has a bit of an Austin bar scene feel. I love being able to have a real conversation with an owner and the level of personalization that comes with people who really care about their customers.“

“My recent visit to Boba Cha was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone. The menu boasted an impressive selection of boba teas and other refreshing beverages, each bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients.“

“This place is a hidden jewel of NorthSide. My friend hipped me to this place and I am now a big fan. They have a great food menu, try the salmon salad sandwich, heavenly!!! It's so good. They have great wonderful drinks. The bartender know what they are doing. Happy hours drinks Deals are the best. 4-7. You gotta come see that for yourself. It's a cute retro place and it may just be your favorite spot too. . They have a patio in the back that is also awesome as well! Come check it out! I'm mad I didn't know about this place before this week!“

“Great food. I love that they have gluten-free bread options and their coffees are amazing too. The staff is always friendly and the homemade pastries are delicious. I also love their mission. Local people helping local people. Great breakfast food and dinner specials. Chef Gigi is the best.“

“I’ve hosted events at this venue and had a wonderful experience. Kind and professional staff, great atmosphere. If you like sours, there’s no place that does it like Urban Artifact. They have the best selection with a ton of variety and seasonal options. I’ve yet to try one that I haven’t liked, but Teak is my go-to favorite.“

“Loved my experiences here so far. Friendly employees, great coffee and the best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had in the United States. You can tell that their croissants are freshly made once you buy into them. They have great coffee choices that they change up each day. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“Best damn pizza in the tristate area. I've never had a bad experience, and I always regret not getting multiple pies at a time. Amazing crust, fresh sauce and not overly greasy like a lot of other places around here. A bit expensive but it's worth it, I promise.“

“We were visiting the Florence area for 3 days & found this place online when trying to find pet friendly restaurants in the area. We enjoyed our meals so much that we ended up eating here 2 of the 3 days.. I got their Fish & Chips both days (no complaints) & their hush puppies are some of the best I've ever had. Will definitely stop here again the next time we're in the area.“

“Let me start off by saying that I was having a really bad day, just leaving the hospital & randomly found this location as I googled ice cream places for a quick pick me up. So happy I found this gem! Janet was so sweet and welcoming, and her kind gesture will have me return as a repeat customer!I ordered a dole whip & honey… it was so, so good! My partner order a sprinkle cone and he loved it, too. Just a heads up - they are cash only at this time, so bring some coins with you!“

“Everything about this place is just wonderful! Our go to is Italian Street Panini but everything is delicious. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and can’t wait til the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the cute patio! Owner and all employees are super friendly!“

“This place has become our dinner out go to. The food is always super fresh and service is by people who actually like what they're doing and treat all of us very well. Highly recommend the Pickins ad a start. The rotating sauces are always good. I think by now we've had just about everything on the menu and nothing dissapoints!“

“Very cool and fun concept - the prices for their drinks changes depending on how many people are ordering that drink! Although fun, it also means you're perhaps paying more for a tastier drink ;) but in general, all of the prices are reasonable anyways! They had a lot of fun stuff going on when I was there - a lot on their TVs, trivia, and some other games in the back. Drinks were good, and I had a great time!“

“This place is so much fun. We stopped here since we saw some igloos on the sidewalk and inquired inside. Unfortunately you need to book those in advance so we just grabbed a spot at the bar. The waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu and getting us our flight of drinks very quickly. We also ordered the loaded potato dip and it was delicious! Had to try the "chili" for chili week and it was a delicious bowl of ice cream with rice crispys. Overall 5/5 stars, when we are back in the Cincinnati area we will stop by.“

“Doctor's order, cut back on the sweets. Now and again I have to stray away from my diet and have something from "Sugar!" Good cookies,brownies,some cake and more. May need to get a cookie cake for my birthday this year. Better work out. Check out one of, if not the best cookie place in cincy.“

“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!!!“

“For a place that is clearly listed as a bar it has incredible food. It's a cool neighborhood bar that seems to have plenty of locals I went there with a few friends to try the food and I must say the Pork Schnitzel Sandwich and the Giant Pretzel with Beer Cheese were incredible. If you are looking for a fun hangout with a cool outdoor area and good food it's worth a visit. One note is the place is small so it can get pretty cramped in the small indoor space they have.“

“Recently rented the upstairs space for my friend's Bridal Shower and it was amazing! Great space, great music, lovely people, very accommodating & helpful... just wonderful overall! In addition to a wonderful venue experience I also have to say the wine was delicious, I highly recommend the Black Sheep Rouge, which is one of the Revel Winery wines. Deep & smooth!“

“Empower is my absolute favorite place! Their shakes are delicious and their customer service is amazing. Both co-owners are incredibly sweet and they genuinely care about getting to know people when they stop in. Could not recommend this place anymore. 11/10!“

“Love the environment, the setup, menu, TVs, music selection and customer service I received. Although I've only attended a couple of times to dine and have a drink with friends. There was only one major disappointment that saddened me. The prices aren't very budget friendly. To register and participate in the classes/events is WAYY over the top. Theres a way to still make healthy profit and cover costs without charging ridiculous prices. I was very impressed and excited to see the classes and other calendar events they were hosting. The ideas and themes chosen I thought were perfect. I was genuinely excited as a customer who has just joined the community just shy of 3 years ago and ha e been looking forward to finding ways to to meet fellow neighbors but to get involved with my neighborhood and support our local businesses!!“

“I had an amazing experience at Pins recently. The service was excellent, great vibe from the staff, specifically Andy who provided over the top service and some great conversation to top it off. Would highly recommend going to Pins for your next group outing“

“Everything about this place is amazing. The people, atmosphere, the food and drinks. There’s such care put into every aspect of your experience at Mom ‘n ‘em. From the kids steamer that is thoughtfully made to be warm, not hot (get the homemade vanilla!!) to the awesome coffee, to the croissants…most recently I’ve found that their housemade granola - and their house made almond butter! - are pretty much the best things ever. Literally every time we visit Cincinnati to see my parents we stop here at least once. So grateful this place has come to my hometown!“

“I've walked past 1215 so many times on the way to somewhere else. We were out and I was craving an espresso martini, so we figured the wine bar and coffee lab was the perfect choice. I was skeptical of ordering their fancy version or a traditional espresso martini because of the mention of chocolate. I'm not a super sweet drink kind of person. I went out on a limb and decided on their fancy version (top model or something like that?) It was sooooo good! Service was fantastic.“

“We had my mom’s 80th birthday dinner and it was simply amazing! Kate was a tremendous host and helped me consider all the details to make the event very special. We had happy hour and charcuterie in the front room and then dinner in the barrel room. What a beautiful and unique setting! All 31 of us were at one, long table and it was just gorgeous. The drinks- especially the WINE - and food were outstanding. We had a GREAT time. I highly recommend Kate and the Skeleton Root winery for your special events and business/corp team events.“

“This is a gem located in the heart of Fort Thomas. It's a coffee cafe and serve alcohol. WOW. They have yummy pastries cookies and sandwiches for lunch. They have alcohol coffee drinks for an after dinner treat. Lots of seating and outdoor space and they have a playroom for kids. There is something for everyone“

“Local brewery and distillery close to Findlay Market. Focus on German style beer and clear spirits like rum and vodka. You can see the production area from the inside. An outdoor patio is available for warmer spring days to come.The menu is bar friendly. The Loaded Tots were very good. Unfortunately, I ate them all before, I thought to take a picture. ?“

“This place has been on my list for a while and I’m finally glad I got to visit! Ordered the classic double smothered, a capirinha (I don’t see those often!!), and the yuca fries. Certainly one of my favorite burgers in the city for the simplicity and how easy it is to handle. Although I would have preferred more fries on the plate, those crisp, savory yuca fries were to die for. And like I mentioned before, there’s only so many restaurants I can find a caipirinha so I will certainly be coming back! The one star off is only because when my girlfriend ordered the veggie burger, as delicious as it was, it fell apart almost immediately.“

“It looks like a dive bar from the outside, and well, it looks like a dive bar inside. But solid food, especially the deep fried cheese coney. It's dark and a bit loud, but see my dive var description in the open. There is a cool wall of tv's showing an aquarium scene in the back.“

“Pretty nice little spot. They were out of pretty much all the food at the truck by the time we got there at 8pm on Friday night. The bar staff was amazing. The beer was pretty good too. Nice spot to stop along the way if you're going to multiple bars.“

“2023: 4/5 stars. Collective has lost some of its magic over the years. It's still pretty good, but the costs have just gone up a lot. Pour overs that were once $3–4 are now $6–7, when they actually have them, for example. They are using North South for pastries now which is a big win. They have largely stopped doing lots of the fine touches that used to make them what they are, such as the single origin espresso option. I still visit, but a lot less than I used to. There are so many other options now compared to OTR in 2016... the newest spots, Redtree and Coffia are both worth checking out.2016: 5/5 stars. It's the best coffee shop in OTR and in Cincinnati. The espresso drinks are nice, pour overs are great, and they do some weird stuff like espresso lemonade ("spronade"). The baristas are very friendly and the owners are down to earth and around most days. Very good neighborhood spot.“

“One of my favorite bars in cincinnati!! Their cocktail menu doesn’t miss!!! Pictured is their spring 2023 menu and I ordered the ‘Table talks’ from it! I was fascinated by all the different ingredients for the drink. I’m a gin drinker so I naturally lean in that direction. I felt like this drink was either going to be a miss or an absolute favorite no one between. IT WAS AMAZING!! And come on the little milk jar glass, obsessed!! I still think about this drink sometimes and hope it makes it back onto the menu soon. If you can’t find a current drink menu, trust me there will be something you like when you go in! If not the bar staff is so nice and are so attentive to make sure you are served a drink you will love “

“Emillie was a great server! Let's start with the great things. We did apps and sides. Dumplings were so good but broth was phenomenal !!! Burrata and tomato jam was basically an amazing caprese, sooo good. We also had truffle mushrooms which we added to dumpling broth, YUM! and also had the perfect broccoli with just an ok aioli. Was unimpressed with crab avocado toast, not worth the expense. Have had a a lot of crab food options s and this underwhelmed. My husband is a brownie sundae officianato and he seriously loved the s'more brownie dessert. Overall, great food and sat outside away from a noisy interior on a Friday night.“

“My favorite coffee stop in NKY! This is coffee done to perfection and served in a place that somehow feels both cozy and eclectic. While you're there, be sure to browse the connected shop, La Maison, (SO MANY adorable things you didn't even know you needed) and to buy a Left Bank t-shirt. Mine is one of the comfiest shirts I've ever owned! #LOVE the COV“

“If you ask how I want the burger cooked, you got to deliver. I said medium, and I got well done, not burnt or dry though. It was still juicy and seasoned fine. It was just "eh". A $16 burger should make want to come back. Fries were seasoned well and crispy.“

“O'Bryons is the epitome neighborhood bar and restaurant in Newport. Service is courteous, friendly and timely. The bartender is very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Food is above average while being prepared well and fresh. The chicken wrap and chicken wings were tasty. Prices are reasonable for the area. Parking is a bit of a challenge with it all being street parking. Overall a good experience and worth trying out.“
