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.

Great music with bands playing live . They have music every night so check the website. Hailey was the server today and she is excellent. Drinks are extremely cheap and well poured. Parking is easy, well accessible and free on some of the streets. The atmosphere has a bluesy, dive bar type feel. I had a club sandwich plus a side Caesar salad and it was tasty. Big portion for the sandwich. Worth the $14 for the meal.

Fabulous cozy atmosphere with fantastic live music every night. Roasted Brussels sprouts tasted more deep fried but I’ll be back for the music!Parking: Parking lot across the street. Was free when I was there but looks as if there’s a sign to pay $10 or $20 for parking at certain times.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mansion Hill Tavern offers a delightful variety of dishes that are sure to satisfy any appetite. I recently tried a few items from their menu and was thoroughly impressed. The Truffle Fries were a standout, lightly dusted with parmesan and cilantro for a flavorful kick. The Mansion Melt was a delicious choice, with perfectly grilled bread, savory cheeses, and tender meat creating a satisfying combination. If you're in the mood for some heat, the Nashville Hot dish hits the spot with just the right amount of spice. And for a classic favorite, the Turkey Reuben doesn't disappoint, with tender turkey, tangy sauerkraut, and melted cheese on perfectly grilled bread. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service at Mansion Hill Tavern make it a great spot for a tasty meal. Whether you're craving something classic or with a twist, they have you covered.

charging way too much for what you get. French Fries were not good at all, even with truffle on them! They tasted like they were in the freezer for years, and then fried in old oil, maybe?? The hamburger terrible, and the prices reflect that of a higher end restaurant, which this is not.

Great little bar to have a drink and bite to eat. Bartenders and fellow guests are friendly. Definitely in hubs and my rotation.

Mansion Hill is improving. Not quite a greasy spoon, but not yet to that trendy gastropub level either. The food is hit-or-miss. Their house salad is absolutely a star. I've heard good things about the bisque and truffle fries. The burger, however, is in much need of a rethink. It is not at $16-a-burger level. It will leak all over your plate and soak the bottom bun. If it was supposed to have an aioli or any dressing, it was sorely missed. That said, their lunch specials and their happy hour drink prices are a deal. The atmosphere also reflects this trend. A lot of decor is vintage, but in that retro-cool sort of way. Some of the other decor is still solidly stuck in the past, and not in the retro-cool way. This vintage is matched with much needed modernizations and a performance area. In total: the atmosphere feels familiar, not quite a dive, but a hole-in-the-wall that it would be easy to become a regular at. The bartenders I've had thus far have been charming. Mansion Hill has a whole lot of untapped potential, and I'm excited to see where it goes. A couple more strides and some healthy experimentation will go a long way to bringing this once three-star to a future five-star.

Mansion Hill Tavern, now the oldest music bar in the tristate area, seriously has the best burger and fries I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming. Brian, the owner, is amazing. He provided great service and a lovely history lesson. If you’re looking for a place with history, great atmosphere and drinks, and food that is OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious- Mansion Hill Tavern is where you want to go.
