50 Best Bars near Ludlow

“Best bar (and food) in town! Best bartenders and patio is super cute.
The atmosphere is cozy and nice and the service is fast. Their garden sliders and the wings are top tier! I recommend it over any bar in Ludlow, any day of the week.“

“I always have such a great time, and love everyone that works there. 🥳 Great energy and atmosphere 👏“

“Food menu is limited but very
good. the prices on the this old website are old not Accurate. They prices are almost doubled. You can thank our government for that.but all in all ,still a great place to grab a sandwich and watch the river traffic. Things that need apovement. There was a heavy smell of fuel and lots of garbage caught between the barge and the boat that could be pulled out to make it a little more pleasant to the eye.“

“great place great people.“

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“Damon provides great service and it is a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

“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.“

“A neighborhood gem! Loved the place! Good selection of beers, wine and hard liquor. Check kitchen hours, if you are planning to eat. Great bar food! Family friendly. A kid’s area with toys and things for them to do. Check their website for events.“

“In town for our anniversary. Randomly looked up options for cocktails and lunch. Reserved a spot via Open Table and they did not disappoint. The deviled eggs are amazing. The Dirty French burger and Neck Bone Gravy were out of this world. Service was top notch. We will be back!“

“Favorite bar in the city. Food specials are amazing every time and their cocktails are delicious. Bartenders feel like old friends“

“Brandon and Nathan are amazing physical therapist! They worked thoroughly with our daughter to recover from her 3rd ankle surgery. They didn’t just go through a scheduled routine, it was personalized to the activities she is involved in, making sure she was able to perform at her best. They pushed her but also made sure she she had time to recover and strengthen! Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Excellent service. Incredible beer selection of local and non local variety. Staff is kind and courteous. Multiple tvs with games on that they'll change for viewers. Can order food to the establishment. Owner is passionate about beer so you know that they'll always have good beers on tap. Host multiple events a week that are fun and inviting“

“You can't beat the cocktails here. Price is on point, and so is the profile. The dude upstairs can mix some drinks no matter what you're in the mood for. Legit drinks, not an Applebee's version (unless that's how you asked for it, probably).“

“The Gas Light Cafe is your go-to spot when you find yourself in Cincinnati. This local watering hole is not just a place to grab a drink; it's a community-centric hub where the walls are a mosaic of memories, each photo a testament to the family's journey and the countless hearts they've touched along the way. The double cheeseburger with fries and cold draft beer is my favorite but you can't go wrong with their daily specials. It's the perfect casual spot to watch sports year round, where you can cheer on your favorite team (Go Bengals!) in good company.“

“This is an amazing concert venue. The church setting adds a mystical atmosphere.“

“This is hands down my favorite bar in the city, with the best bartenders around! The cocktails are consistently exceptional, but it’s the sense of community that truly sets this place apart. Wiseguys was one of the first places I visited after moving here from out of state, and Harrison was one of the first friendly faces I met. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and making amazing drinks, he also offered great local tips and made me feel genuinely welcomed both at the bar and in Cincinnati. He really went (and goes) above and beyond! Big shout out to Ellie, Brandon, and Stephen as well – sitting at Wiseguys and enjoying a couple of Sunkissed Sweethearts or espresso martinis with this crew is always a blast!“

“Was in town for the week on business. We all had a blast!!“

“One of my regular spots and also one of my favorite places in town. It's always nice to know I can come in here and grab some really good pizza and then come upstairs for great cocktails. The peanut butter tequila is weirdly good and they do a chocolate martini with it that is absolutely amazing.“

“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!!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place! Great central location in the heart of Cheviot. Perfect venue for weddings, showers, get togethers, company parties, class reunions, reveal parties, birthday parties, family reunions, the list goes on. Would highly recommend. Very accommodating and great service. Mary the owner is awesome!! Cannot say enough good things about this place and the owner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our Greyhounds loved it and you will to!“

“So this is not the original 16 bit bar ( level one bar and arcade is the actual place if ypu looking for the original one ) this place is called pins mechanical ( bowling and bar arcade that's totally different ) . If you are looking for the OG 16 bit it's on Walnut .“

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

“Celebrating our 15th anniversary at The Blind Lemon. Few of our date nights there! My partner Joel
Mellon has been there in 1984! When we met in 2003 we came here often! Our favorite drink is the Grand Mariner warm! The solo guitarist voice was amazing! The magical part of the night was as we were about to leave she sang our song! Norah Jones ‘ come Away With Me’
It was perfect! The night ended well!’
?❤️?“

“This is a great neighborhood bar everybody makes you feel welcome. The food is good comfort type food proportions are good prices are reasonable. The coolest thing about this location is the music they bring in some great musicians. It's a small venue which sometimes makes it hard to watch the musicians but you can hear fine from anywhere in the bar. We visit the location frequently.“

“Joey is by FAR the most educated server I have had at a restaurant as of late! Though he knew he was sharing disappointing news, he was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and cross-contamination. It’s extremely refreshing to have someone explain why I can’t have something without me even asking anything past “do you have the gluten free bread right now?” Joey even helped me craft a makeshift meal out of options that were available. The ONLY reason this review is not 5 stars? They sometimes run out of what I CAN have :(“

“The Well is one of my favorite spots in Covington! The drinks and food are always great, and the staff are such fun people. I threw my boyfriend a surprise 30th birthday party at The Well, and it was a night many probably won’t remember but filled with laughs and fun.“

“This establishment is top notch in every way! I recommend the “Kyle” and the “Yolanda Mai Tai” 😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place! Kim and Peter make everyone feel welcome.“

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

“My husband and I were celebrating our wedding reception with our close friends and family. The staff was so sweet and catering to us all. The drinks were amazing. Jackie was amazing at communicating everything and making all the planning easy for us. I'd definitely recommend that if you have a party or event, you need a space to come here! They will make everything worth your time. If you're looking to take nice pictures, the top balcony has a lovely backdrop of old buildings!“

“Fun, intimate little bar with a "Hemingway" vibe. Imaginative themed cocktails named for Hemingway characters & events... really charming bartender and a dark "tropical" environment. (Bring your own snacks) Enjoyed this great "moody" hangout. Pineapple Upside Down Daiquiri was especially good!“

“Loved this place! Great atmosphere, music and cocktails ♥️“

“Atmosphere 9/10Nice upscale lounge atmosphere with a cool bar in the middle. Bar and table seating options. Quiet music completes the vibe for a relaxing cocktailDrinks 10/10Stylish menu, great whiskey selection. When in Kentucky, you need to try Bourbon based cocktails. Perfect Manhattan was on point. Can recommend Boone County Rye. Whiskey sour was great too - perfect egg white foam. Great presentation too.Coaster game is strong - gives the drink an additional flairService 7/10Nice bartenders. They didn’t serve water (without asking) though, which an upscale bar should do IMO. There was also no reception, to explain if anything is reserved or free to seat. Prices are on higher end for Kentucky.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Decora Eatery and Drinkery is a hidden gem! Incredible cocktails, delicious food, and stunning art all in one place. The maple bacon Old Fashioned was perfection, and the Spicy Paloma had just the right kick. The rotating local art adds a fresh vibe every time. Can’t wait to return!“

“first time going to Covington Yard - great atmosphere - good service, football, wide variety of people, very dog and kid friendly. we will definitely be back.“
