“Had a chill night at the Crazy Fox Saloon. Played some pool and enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. They don’t serve food or make mixed drinks, but you can bring your own food or get delivery, which is convenient. Bartender was alright — not overly friendly, but did the job. Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood bar if you're in the mood to kick back, have a basic drink, and shoot some pool.“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

The day of the event, Brandy and Tommy (the bartenders) took great care of us and made sure everyone had a great time. This place is a hidden gem up on the hill with great staff, great bar selections, and a great atmosphere! We will be back.“

“We lived right around the block for a year and never went. A few years later we finally stopped by and wondered what we were thinking... Amazing little neighborhood bar. Friendly bar tender and they have Old Style on tap! Missed Old Style after moving to Cincinnati from Chicago.“

“little friendly bar..great drinks“

“What a great hole-in-the-wall! Friendly patrons, great atmosphere with an ocasional local dog availble for boops and awesome staff....especially that Michelle ! A really nice "backyard" in warmer weather and ocasionally someone grilling burgers n weenies. Russ (owner) is very sweet and appreciates all who visits.“

“That lady Ms. Tasha is the first person I met in this city who has any decorum. Tasha and her cute nephew LA offered amazing hospitality and all of the patrons even at this establishment were so nice and friendly. I truly felt safe and at home here and they have great music and prices. I was crying so bad I had, had such a bad experience at the hard rock casino and Ms. Tasha turned my whole day around. They were hosting a 65th birthday party yesterday when I was in and Ms. Tasha went above and beyond to make sure the party people’s set up was perfect even down to the fine details. You couldn’t give your money to a better bar. This place rocks and if I ever have to go back to Cincinnati I’ll certainly stop here and recommend this place to all my friends touring. Great atmosphere, excellent service, great attitudes, kind, caring, and considerate. Ms. Tasha certainly didn’t have to do any of that stuff for me but she made sure I felt right at home in this establishment. I’ve never had better service than this ever. She is the best bartender/server I have ever had. Patrons you better tip Ms. Tasha good. She is good wonderful soul.“

“Janet is an amazing chef and woman. She catered my daughter’s Sweet 16 and everyone was very impressed by her buffet styled setup and the food was delicious. She even stayed and made sure everyone was taken care of. Her prices can’t be beat either. I definitely recommend her. 🔥🔥🔥“

“The friendliest bar in town with the cheapest drinks in the town“

“Pretty much the epitome of a hole in the wall bar. The staff or bartender aren't the most social creates but that's not why you go there. The beer and drinks a dirt cheap and good. I'm pretty sure that regulars there have been patronizing that bar for years. Great little bar if your into that style and atmosphere.“

“Definitely the locals…the history…Not to mention it’s one of few places I have left to go to still remember great times with my mom (Patty) and stepdad ( Spanky)….“

“It's a neighborhood bar it's a neighborhood hole in the wall bar good atmosphere good people a pool table that jukebox couple of dart boards everybody is welcoming and if you're new they like to treat you as family come in sit down meet great people have good strong drinks the building is a little wear and tear but it definitely appeals to the atmosphere I've been going there for 6 years now it's a great place I've met a lot of good friends there good people. Brings back a lot of nostalgia moments. Just how good old bars used to go.“

“Solid easy to get to bar. Service is quick, you have to go to the bar for Service later in the night. Staff is polite and efficient. Beer is cold. You get pushed out pretty quick at 2am, so make sure your tab is paid or you have a hefty addition added to your tab!“

“Very friendly staff relaxing patio with a nice fire feature in the middle of the table and everyone there was very welcoming and friendly:-)

Parking: There is a paid parking lot around the corner that you can use in case you cannot find any parking on the street parking on the street is a bit difficult at times“

“Quiet little burger joint with a beautiful view. The burger was juicy. The bartender didn't listen very well with the condiments, but I won't complain. The view was immaculate. The patrons there were nice and welcoming. I'll go again when I am on that side of town.

Parking: Street parking. Mostly residential.“
