“A group of four, we ordered chicken tikka mughlai, chicken saag, lamb bhuna, and aloo bhindi (potato and okra). The last dish was not on the menu but my wife asked for the combination and they quickly obliged. All the dishes were very good. My favorite was the chicken tikka mughlai. Service was good and very friendly.“
“Stopped in today and it was awesome. We are newbies to the bourbon world and Brad treated us as if we had been high end customers forever. The selection is excellent and the service can’t be beat! We picked up a nice bottle to commemorate our visit and got it at a great price. This is a must stop for anyone interested in bourbon or vintage spirits!“
“The food is epic. It definitely over delivers. The wings are fantastic, brined, rubbed, smoked and I am assuming fried prior to serving. The flavor is fantastic, even with the tame (by heat) sauces. These are easily on par with Knock Back Nats wings and not as spicy, so they probably appeal to many more.I also had the Smoked and Fried Bologna Sandwich! Epic! Tater tots are really good, and the kids' chicken and waffles were also excellent. We will be back for sure. I suggest you try this place out if you hadn't before. Being inside Alexandria Brewing Company is also a bonus as they have some pretty solid beers as well.Ok we went back on a Saturday. And they definitely need to step up their game in the kitchen. They took orders with buzzers. Why they don't take all orders as they come is beyond me. wouldn't you want to know what's incoming? I don't know. The food was great the first time. We've been waiting 2 hours the 2nd time. Perhaps come on a weeknight and expect slow service.? Not a great 2nd experience.“
“We booked the upstairs party room for our family Christmas party. Everything was perfect, hall was decorated and festive! They handled everything. The kitchen manager, Chuck Wilson was amazing! We worked out the menu together and he out did himself. Quality and quantity was outstanding. This guy deserves a raise! All staff members were friendly and helpful. It was a perfect night! Thank you Chuck Wilson, and Green Kayak!“
“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.“
“This place was very good. My boyfriend is hard to please and he kept saying how good it was. I think he got the lasagna. I had the grilled cheese. The atmosphere is good and our server Brandon was great! I would recommend this place for sure.“
“When this first opened, I came here and the music was too loud and the women barristas weren't very friendly. But now I've started coming here as often as possible! I really like Katie, the barrista and the fact that it is not crowded at all in the early afternoon so I can sit and work. Music is now great. And they just started carrying my favorite cheese, Kerry Gold. I wish there wasn't a fan intermittently blowing cold air down on me, but I can live with that. The coffee (Urbana) is great. This is just down the street from where I live. Win, win! (oh and the green St Pat cookies are way good.“
“Coaches corner is the best place. It's so much fun & the food is delicious!! The service is EXCELLENT!! You won't find a better local hangout! Casey behind the bar is a real treasure, she makes you want to come back everyday! Truly there is nothing better, it's Newport finest hidden gem if you haven't been before!“
“Gordos in the hole in the wall burger spot that you didn't know you needed. With thick, unique, and tasty burgers. Thick cut fries come standard. There are so many great burger combos to try, but you need to try either the GFat or the simple PBJ. Across their menu you'll find other sneaky good options like the tacos or the pear salad, but the burgers are the core of why you seek out Gordos. Service can be a little slow, especially when it gets busy, but you can often find this place to be fairly open unless it's a Xavier game day. Helpful to know: Park to the left side of the building in the odd looking lot. The right side of the building parking is owned by a different building/business. On nice days, see if you can sit in the back patio. It's a little oasis from the noisy of Norwoods main drag.“
“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.“
“First time experiencing dinner there and we will definitely be going back! We were welcomed by Dara who was all smiles and waited on by Sierra. She was very pleasant and attentive! Food was perfectly prepared and the atmosphere was so nice especially because we sat by the fireplace. We all ordered the prime rib which was so good and we look forward to trying more of their menu!“
“The Lytle Hotel was exceptional in every way! Our weekend stay included a wedding celebration, so we were privy to more than just room accommodations. The entire staff were incredibly personable and professional, and their attention to detail was always at the forefront of service. From the parking valet service, to room service, to bar service, we could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Lytle. It’s the little things like great water pressure and temperature in the shower, incredibly soft towels and robes, and billowy-soft pillows that really made The Lytle a favorite! The food was delicious, the atmosphere and ambiance were second to none, and the friendliness of the staff made The Lytle Hotel one of our all-time favorite stays. We will definitely return when we are in Cincinnati!“
“I love this place. The atmosphere is the best I've seen in a long time, and the live music is fantastic. The drinks are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I'd love to try more things on the menu, and I'd definitely recommend this place to a friend.“
“It's been more than 4 years since I've been here. I wasn't impressed back then, which is why I hadn't returned until now. NOW, it is a fantastic place to chill. I loved our pizza. The staff was very friendly. Prices are reasonable. Plenty of parking. I'll be back soon. Thanks for the fantastic transformation. Somebody knows what they are doing. It reminds me of the Mount Adams Bar and Grill without lots of collectibles on the walls. (Hint, I like collectibles...imagine Newtown's history.)Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza was fantastic.Parking: Lots of parking in the back!“
“Went to Saeso for the first time last night and I can't wait to go back. Very cool space with good tunes and good decor. They spin vinyl so you'll hear some cool stuff. The exposed brick looks classic. I think a great bar shouldn't be too big, and this is a tighter space. The drinks were also fantastic. I was really impressed with the cocktail menu, a cool mix of classics and innovations. The espresso martini was a 10/10. We sat at the bar and the service was great, very efficient and friendly.“
“Come enjoy an evening with the largest selection of bourbon in the world, learning about bourbon history with most knowledgeable customers on the planet in a warm & welcoming atmosphere. You soon become a friend when you arrive and leave a good friend for life ❤️?“
“Flintlocks Bar and Grill is a neat little place. Great service. Awesome staff and customers. Very welcoming. Even have live music. And the stuff I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. Heard they have an amazing fish sandwich… gotta go back on a Friday and check it out.“
“Great little bar, a true hidden gem ..hiding in plain sight lol ...very spacious,clean and lots of variety to drink ...have two pool tables ,golden tee and most importantly a vintage bowling lane game ...much more room on the back porch ...will definitely be again“
“Had an incredible time at The Jester Bar & Cigar Patio in Cincinnati! The atmosphere was lively and inviting, perfect for celebrating the black Greek community. Lee, the bartender, mixed up the most delightful drinks, and Damon Jones, the manager, ensured everything ran seamlessly. The fusion of a vibrant ambiance, top-notch service, and a fantastic cigar selection made for an unforgettable evening. Whether you're looking for a relaxed hangout or a place to commemorate special occasions, The Jester Bar & Cigar Patio is a must-visit. Can't wait to return for more good times and great conversations!“
“Hidden gem in Newport, KY right across the river from downtown Cincinnati...excellent list of private single barrel Bourbons that pair great with their excellent selection of cigars. Easy going ambiance and great service. Kudos to Ms. Summer and Mr. Dallas.“
“This place was excellent. Brisket was on point along with the cowboy beans.Their white bbq sauce is where it’s at with the brisket.Also. Shout out to service. First time here and they were invested in making sure it was a good experience.Nobody is going to leave here disappointed.“
“The look of the eating area was very nice. It was very loud though. We got food from 3 different places and prices were not to where we could do this regularly. It's not that prices per meal were too high but we had to purchase 3 different meals to get enough food for 2 people. Service was good at each place and I liked the text system when the order was ready.“
“It had been awhile since I have been here and I'm not sure why??The atmosphere is great. Very comfortable. The food is fantastic. Perfectly seasoned and flavorful. I want to try everything on the menu, but if I went back tomorrow I would order the same thing I ordered last night, the shrimp etoufee. It was delicious!Our waitress was spot on. She described the menu perfectly and offered great suggestions. Service was great! The service made the night. Her name was Danielle or Dana(I was not paying clise attention when she first came up).I'll be back soon! Great place!“
“This place was very good. One of my favorite things was that for the kids they had a paper table cover they could draw on with crayons. The staff was very friendly and our server was very attentive. We got a cheese deep dish, a sausage deep dish, some pepperoni French bread pizza for my son and lasagna with garlic bread for my daughters friend. All of it was very good but the sausage deep dish was out of this world. We spent about $75 plus tip on it. The price is the only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars but it is worth it to go here every now and then. I'll definitely be back.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: They have crayons and paper table cloth the kids can draw on.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible“
“The Pilot has been my local spot for years, It’s truly like an episode of Cheers! The staff, the owner and the regulars make you feel welcome! The Pilot Inn will always have a special place in my heart.Parking: Parking is never an issue. The pilot inn has their own parking lot and there is also plenty of parking next door at rookwood commons.“
“This is a great spot to have drinks and watch a game, as well as it looks like a good coffee house. Recently visited with my wife on one occasion to watch the FC game and with a friend on another. Both times service was great and on one of the nights they had live music. They serve a variety of local craft beers. Good looking outdoor patio in addition to retractable windows. Hard to find the FC games on tv anymore so this is a big plus and they have happy hour pricing which is another plus. Will be going back“
“Very interesting restaurant with great decor. Most of the food we ordered was delicious and came out quick and hot even being a busy evening. Very skimpy on the bacon on the double decker BLT (only 4 slices on the entire sandwich but taking out the middle bread made it normal lol..) the bread was buttered and grilled which was way better than toast in my opinion.. Mac and cheese bites, onion rings, cheese sticks, corn dog bites, and pretzel bites were all "store" bought (not homemade) but delicious and of great quality! I have a pet peace on microwaved soft pretzels because they are gummy and get hard too quick but these were not!! I'm sure they are baked and seemed to have butter drizzle with the salt and were fantastic!! boneless wings were big in size and they definitely aren't stingy with the sauce, which was a plus! Buffalo chips (Saratoga chips) have no spice on them but are handmade and good regardless.. service was mediocre (no asking if food was good, finally saw the empty glass and grabbed on passing for a refill, had to get her attention and ask for the check) but it was busy and everything was fine besides needing a refill.. temperature inside was super chilly so bring a jacket! Seemed to have a large variety of alcohol which is a plus to anyone who drinks I'm sure! Very loud atmosphere but that's expected in a wing place! Very reasonable pricing! Would recommend!!Kid-friendliness: Had crayons and a coloring sheet for kids along with a kid menu“
“Cozy local spot. Feels almost like a cabin, with lots of wood paneling. From the decor you’ll note that Reds fans are more than welcome.If the flyers on the walls (and in the ladies restroom) are accurate, looks like they have live music every evening of the week (!) Note: I came in the daytime, so wasn’t able to benefit from that- maybe next time.Service was friendly.My overall take: Worth checking out. Not fancy and not a chain/franchise - pure local flavor, in the best way.“
“Not only was there a fabulous selection of bourbon, but the Newberrys were so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I learned more about the history of bourbon in my few hours at this establishment than I have in all the tours and tastings I've done. We will definitely be coming back!“
“Place was empty and we sat in the deck in the back. I had a Blue Moon draft with two samosas that were delicious. My friend had the veggie burger and said it was very good as well. Samosas and beer $12. Food comes out of a trailer in the parking lot and in take-out containers. Still, a perfect light snack to have with your drink. Great deal, good place to hang out with friends. I recommend.“
“Review wrote by my 12 year old son "We thought it was a run of the mill restaurant then we got the food at it was the best food the bathrooms are great and the waiting area benches have real truck backs 5 stars recommend if you come to Cincinnati"“
“My husband and I both enjoyed our entrees. The chili was cold and lacked seasoning. The only time our server smiled was when she brought us our bill. I asked if I could sub the Chef’s Vegetables for a side salad, and she said yes, no problem. Then, when I got the bill, I noticed that she charged me an extra $3.00 for the salad. I was very close to asking for my veg's to go since I paid for them but decided not to sink to her level.“
“As a disabled person who uses a rollator, this venue is pretty accessible to me. The entrance is flat. There's a ramp to get to the sanctuary (it is a little steep, though, it might be hard to push someone up it). from what I remember, the bathroom was technically an ADA bathroom. In reality, with all the people crowding in there, it would be difficult to get a rollator or wheelchair in there. (I didn't take my rollator to the bathroom with me because the concert was so crowded and definitely regretted it because the wait was so long),There's no disabled parking on the street near the entrance, so my friends usually drop me off at the entrance and then find parking.I also like the look of the venue and how you can tell it used to be a church and has stained glass windows.I don't drink alcohol and appreciate the multiple soda water options“
“What a fun vibe! We went there New Years Eve, pretty early in the day so it was empty besides us, but absolutely loved the atmosphere. They have plenty of green space (which is dog-friendly as long as fido doesn't potty), food vendors, various seating spaces, large televisions, curling, other games, photo opportunities, and more. If being outdoor isn't your vibe, they have a covered heated section (where the walls can come down in the summer) as well as in actual in-door bar where we got some delicious gingerbread old fashioneds. I can only imagine how fun this place is when its packed (and warmer). Our service was great - which sound be expected as the only ones there lol but he was nice, friendly, and made a great drink.“
“My Mr and I had some time to kill and wanted to grab a drink before the show (at the MegaCorp). We walked by Wooden Cask and with no hesitation, went in. So..it's been YEARS since we've been to the Levee and they definitely revamped this area. More stores, restaurants and libations! They too partake in the Banks atmosphere. Walk around the area with your drinks. This place is very small but has so much to offer. I've been to their original brewery (loved it), I was impressed that they've up their game. Now their serve their craft beers on tap, wine, mock tails, seltzers, bourbon, and food. Their food menu is very small. Flatbreads, wings and sandwiches. We didn't have time to try but I know we will be back. Overall a great experience. The bartenders were cool and pricing was definitely reasonable.“
“The cocktail menu is incredibly extensive. There is a smaller seasonal/specialty menu at the front of the booklet. As you keep looking, you’ll see their spirits list. Underneath each list is a menu of classic cocktails using that spirit. Our bartender was so friendly, helpful, and not pretentious about offering clarification which was very welcoming. There’s definitely an atmosphere of curiosity and experimentation, and they’re willing to mix up the spirit on a classic cocktail as evidenced by our party ordering a Mezcal Last Word (which was great!). We were given complimentary tapas with our cocktails and honestly I’m still craving those fenugreek crackers.“
“Top tip - if you want a casual beer or cocktail, or indeed great glass of wine - head to Jerrys. The girls behind the bar that day were great !! very friendly and we had a great chat, although I understand they were only temporary. The place is awesome but small. expect a bit of nudging in busier times at the bar. the beer was cold. the cocktails were great (if a bit sugary) and they had a great organic/natural wine list. we had the arepas (3) 2 beef one chicken - and we left the topping selection to the lady who was cooking them (from scratch) they were great. Add to this great decor - kinda mid century modern, and you have great little bar !!“
“THE Xavier bar. Whether it's a casual beer, wanting to go somewhere for a sports game, or a nice afternoon to eat and drink on the large deck, this dive is tried and true for generations. If you're part of the Xavier community, you know this place well. If you're not, you should wander off Wasson way in a sunny afternoon and enjoy a drink out on the two tiered deck. Helpful to know: Try the Hershel Special.“
“I had the filet, and it was sincerely the best steak I've ever had. I can't tell you the last time I not only finished my plate, but kept saying “ok just one more bite” and henceforth made myself miserable because it was so good. The service was great, the drinks were great, we were very impressed.“
“Stopped by Thursday afternoon and a pleasant experience (compared to the downtown which is garbage). Food tasted fresh and the staff were polite. Love all the artwork. Great vibes.I also doordash from this location frequently and never have issues!“
“The beer selection here and the hipster dive bar vibe is very fun. I had this Lychee beer there and tbh if not for the draw of my friends to the ramen place nearby I'd probably have stayed until there was no more lychee beer to drink. Worth a visit, and I guarantee you'll find something on the menu that will make you want to order another... or three.“
“I feel bad as I don't remember the specific name but it was a super tasty old fashioned. I stopped in with my BFF after ordering a sandwich at another location at Factory 52. I have been here before and got a yummy coffee. If in the area I would be happy to come here.“
“pop in on a spontaneous visit after a concert ( at the worst named venue in history) after searching places open wind down before heading back across the water.. and damn was pleasantly surprised by this place! a true dive bar, just the way I like it... the bartender was amazing and welcoming to our first time in, the beer selection is nice and the bottle selection is great too!“
“Great place in Ft Thomas to come on for a beer and a game on the TV. Just a great local tavern feel. Street parking 2 hr limited but I say screw it... you're enforcing the local businesses. Have a drink, strike up some conversation on Reds, Bengals.... Heck anything and get into the local vibe.“
“I visited Mic's Pub 3: The Last Stand this past Friday night. The service was great. The ambiance is exactly what I was looking for. The bartender brought fresh popcorn to our table, for free may I add. They offered a nice selection of bar food. Fresh soft pretzels with cheese, hot dogs, chips, etc.. The bartender was very quick to serve drinks to my large group when we approached the bar. The prices and selection are the best in the area. No matter where you were sitting you had a view of multiple flatscreen television that had the games on. The bar also had golden tee, multiple electronic dart boards and keno. I will definitely be adding Mics to my rotation of hometown bars to visit on a night out!“
“This is really a nice neighborhood bar. Good crowd, fair bar prices, and a superb outdoor area. However, let’s be honest. The music is often played at an ear piercing volume; to the point where one has to shout in order to maintain a conversation.“
“Our wedding was a couple weeks ago, and we still have people reaching out saying our wedding was the most fun they have had at one! Betsi made all of our wedding dreams come true. The food was AMAZING. We did the plated dinners, guests could choose between steak and chicken. We received countless compliments from our guests about how good the food was, that’s how you know it was that good! The entire room was served very quickly to which ensured our timeline for the reception went according to plan ? All table decor and set up was included in our package too! We came on Friday to help set up and to our surprise Betsi already had everything done! She really made the entire process stress free. The venue is beautiful too. From the lighting to the chandeliers to the backdrop behind the head table everything is included which is super rare to find in a wedding venue. What you see is what you get. The staff were all really friendly and efficient! We had open bar, and the bar was ran so well that there was never a line! Keep in mind we had 230 people and the majority were 21+. Betsi who is the main wedding coordinator is top notch. She really went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. She was there every step of the way if we had questions, but with how hands on she was made planning the reception so easy which took a lot of the stress off of us. Words cannot express how truly grateful my husband and I are for the Syndicate staff and Betsi for all they did to make our reception so special. If you decide to have your reception there, you will not regret it!“
“We love to go out. Yesterday we went to this delicious restaurant which we didn’t know before. We had a lovely evening there with excellent food and a professional crew and a professional chef. We put this fine restaurant in our list and we shall definitely return very soon. Highly recommended.“
