50 Best Bar & Grill near Newport

“Friendly neighborhood b&g, great burgers and Nancy McMichael is the best bartender in the world.“

“Great bar for local live music every night (especially the blues), including open mic Tuesdays. Almost all shows are free (generous tips much appreciated).

There's a rich history and great story about the bar and building it's in. Lots of cool photos of musicians plus Marilyn Monroe and other classic era celebrities).

The bar was full of friendly music lovers and bartender Kyle was awesome - made me feel right at home.

They have a patio and you can get food too. It's also a short walk from Newport on the Levee.“

“Always have a great meal and drinks the bartenders and staff are amazing“

“My husband and I came down for the night. When we entered the place was packed, was greeted and told there would be an hour wait unless we sat outside. We had a seat next to the river with an amazing view. We ordered the Gator Balls for an appetizer and they just don't miss! We received them within about 10 minutes of ordering. We also ordered a sampler platter to share and you get so much at a decent price! That platter was out within 15 minutes! We've been here before and plan on coming back! We were in an out in less than an hour!“

“Peewee's Place was a little greasy spoon we recently visited in Crescent Springs. It was a bar/grill type olace that had a pretty decent sized menu of various things from burgers to hoagies to wraps and all sorts of other bar food. We started off with some Tater Skins that were loaded with bacon and cheese with sour cream for dipping. Very good balance of toppings and the skins were perfectly cooked and made for a very good appetizer. I tried a couple of different things off their menu for my main course starting with some wings (shocking I know for those that know me). I tried 2 kinds of sauces 1 their XXX Boot Scootin (their hottest one) and the other "Newt" (spicy bbq). Their Boot Scootiin one definitely brought some heat which I appreciated and had stellar flavour as well. The Newt was a good version of a Spicy bbq although of these 2 I preferred the Boot Scootin. As good as the sauces were unfortunately the wings themselves were overcooked and quite dry which was disappointing because those sauces were some of the better wing sauces I've had in a while. I also tried some Buffalo Chicken Rolls (thing egg rolls but with Buffalo Chicken filling). These were unique and fairly good although I feel they kinda held back on the Buffalo flavour (would really like to try it with either the Boot Scootiin or Newt sauces). Most of what I had here was average to good but I believe that they the potential to be better. The service was fine and the restaurant looked good. I'll be back to try some other dishes coming up soon particularly their burgers.“

“Great atmosphere and one of the best burgers and craft cocktails I have tried!“

“Great food at a reasonable price! Excellent service and friendly folks….love everything about this place.“

“A mixup with our carryout order turned into one the best customer service experiences in recent memory at Newtown Village Tavern. The owners were very attentive to our order mishap and had assured us our order would be hot and prepared as requested. The food was delicious and you now have our forever patronage. I highly suggest that you give NVT a try for what I consider to be the best pizza in the area! Customer service is above and beyond!“

“Great atmosphere and the best brisket. The owner, the cook, the bartender and all of the waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“Best bartenders in town great food and drinks and a fun atmosphere with live music there’s always something going on at The Spot.“

“This place is cool! It's basically your local neighborhood bar with an awesome bartender! Stop in and see Kiki! They also have a great music selection with a pool table. The interior could be updated but that doesn't bother me one bit. This was our 1st time coming to this establishment and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back!“

“Lee the bartender was transcendent!!! 5*****“

“Stumbled in this small corner local bar/restaurant.l after a Drs appointment down the street. Convenient on street parking til 3, weekdays. Parking lot in rear. Limited menu to keep costs down with daily specials. Service was very friendly. Prices were excellent. Party rooms for large groups. And they had Guinness!

Parking: We had the daily specials - fish sandwich and mushroom burger, both with fries.“

“Some of the friendliest bartenders and bar-goers I've ever met, welcomed me in and treated me like a friend and regular“

The cook came out and asked me how was the food and was there anything she could do different never experienced that before I will definitely be back .. . The atmosphere was happy ..nice place lots of tvs .. I highly recommend“

“All the food is excellent but the chicken wings might be the best is the area. I have enjoyed wings from all around Greater Cincinnati but none are as good as Tickle Pickle wings. Service is outstanding and the place is very clean.“

“Hidden gem. Very good food, well seasoned and large portions. No real fajita or nacho options, which forced us try something new. Chimichanga and quesadilla la cumbre were excellent. Almost no one there so we parked right outside the door. Service was good and friendly. Minus one star because the menu prices weren't correct. We'll definitely be back.“

“Zac is a great bartender. He remembers you and your drink of choice as you walk in the door and generally has it waiting at your barstool by the time you take your seat. Friendly patrons, TouchTunes, multiple TV screens and Grippos BBQ chips! Check it out.“

“The greatest community and musicians around!“

“A great time with great ppl and music not to mention the drinks are on point !“

“I've been a fan of Local Post since they first opened, and they never disappoint. My most recent visit was on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, where I enjoyed the patio and the rare treat of a weekday brunch. As someone with a nontraditional schedule, I love that they offer brunch during the week! Though I didn’t see a Bloody Mary on the menu, the bartender went above and beyond to make me one, and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. I also ordered the brunch fries, which were spot-on. The service was outstanding—friendly, accommodating, and they really made me feel at home. The laid-back atmosphere and great vibes make Local Post a go-to spot for me.“

“Our first time visiting! Both bartenders were super nice and welcoming! Drinks were great and the wings were killer! We also tried some fries and a spicy pizza roll all which were amazing! I’m a huge ranch gal and there’s was top tier! Loves the environment and was served super fast! We will for sure be back!“

“fantastic place great food“

“Always a great time. Are go to place.“

“This was an awesome laid back place on the river. Staff was super friendly, the owner was friendly, everyone was working their butss off. There is plenty of space if you have a big group. You can dock and get food also. Food was good. Their Cincinnati chili is legit and definitely worth making a trip here for. Watch the hill on the way in and out. It's a bit steep!

Parking: It is at the top of the hill so you have to go down the steps or the ramp in and out.“

“Some of the best breakfast in Florence!“

“great place great people.“

“Very nice atmosphere, love the Bartenders,and, nice people!“

“How can I make you understand in depth how great this place was!. I didn't even mean to stop in this place! I was headed to get food for myself. I saw this little joint with a back porch, camping type pavilion attached to a little oblong brick building that just looked like it wasn't for me.This place...It doesn't scream or pop out at you. It looks like it would be in one of my friends yard behind his house on the side of his garage.As I walked by....and past it, I saw "great food"!! In big letters painted on the side of the building. So I tryd em!... lol to see if they knew what they were talking about!.I serve my lord Jesus and don't really drink but I came for the food! And to test its words painted on the side of the building.Every one was nice! Everything was comfortable, everyone cared!... everyone knew each other and everyone let's you be!.... I couldn't belive it! I found a place to go be and eat and they let you be....if you leave hostility, hatred, ugly ness, and a disrespectful attitude at door..... You will have no problems here! I loved the people, I fell in love with the place!, you can be who you are! I think it's encouraged and probably the only way this bar and grill will have you.As soon as I came in, there was a veteran, and two others at the bar with a classic western playing on the tv and two sweethearts behind the bar.... it was laid back and quite for a Tuesday afternoon.During happy hr domestic beer is 2:50$ and I got a great double mushroom cheese burger for 6$The lighting was perfect! ....For a bar/grill. Right lighting with lamp and neon lights scattered throughout the restaurant and bar! The lights mixed well with the atmosphere splashing and filling up color, mood, and lighting over all the creveses, nooks, and crannys of the spaces in the restaurant bar and grill. If you want a bar and grill out of the movies... Here it is! I loved the assortment of signs, billboards, slogans and pic's all over the walls....Well I tell you the food was off the chain!. The hospitality on point and the price is right. it does not hit your pocket at all. The food says to the money! Get out of here.....I always am looking for a place to eat drink and socialize in peace, and in prosperity. to be myself at the end of the day!!!!....Besides Christ my lord and savior I Just want good food, at a great price! When I go out to eat!. I got more than that at jds honky tonk and emporium! It checked off every thing I quit looking for on my list now a days!!!...I'm always left wanting visiting a place. as i leave my mind is trying to point out the good pointers in a restaurant and bar and grill..... Well I just plane ol loved jds honky tonk & emporium.words fail but if you go! They'll accept you,you can be you, friendly, and you best belive you can get a great bite to eat! And drink.Seriously how can I tell you this food is worth trying and the place worth visiting! Weather you are rich and can't fathom going here, or poor and you think this place ant for you! every one in between..... The food was good... if you want good ol American cheeseburgers fry's and cheese steaks and food....try this place plus on Sundays every one is a Bengals fan. At any time there open come wonder on in and leave feeling good that you came.“

“We love this bar!!! The food is always great, no matter what you get. The bartenders are knowledgeable and super friendly. They have lots of fun shooters and drink promos. This bar is a great value and the pool tables will always keep us coming back!“

“First time checking this place out. I will definitely be back. Becca was our server. She was attentive and very friendly. The food and drinks were great! Thank you Becca! The Greek spaghetti was awesome and the odd drink spaghett was really good!“

“Some of the coolest bartenders and the best wings. They are always so tender and falling off the bone. They need to upgrade their payment systems to accept more methods of payment like cashapp and tap n pay, but other than that it's great!!“

“I've been here for years and although it still looks the same, the food is still delicious. This laid back, corner bar and grill is just what you want during the week when you want a burger and beer. Love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing. They did add some outdoor bar, which is awesome!“

“The variety of sports teams' decor throughout the establishment was nice, too.“

“Great Food, Great Service, Good time every time! Welcoming environment!“

“great place and great drinks“

“great place great bar maid“

“Very friendly & great service!“

“Clean, old neighborhood bar. Nice people.“

“Visited after a Riverbend concert. The rush of people wrecked the servers for about an hour. There has got to be a better method of handling these spikes in attendance. They know it's coming after the big shows I'm sure...
The Friday night karaoke was very well executed and quite entertaining!“

“the food is very good. service is good too. the food took a longer than would have wanted but worth the wait“
