50 Best Pubs near Newport

“Murder Mystery Dinner was a lot of fun. Food was great! Everyone had a great time!“

“Nice neighborhood bar serving good drinks and pub style food. The food menu is limited somewhat but the taste and quality was very good. Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

“Gordo's is the kind of timeless place that makes visitors feel comfortable without making a big deal about it. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very good at their jobs; they seem to genuinely enjoy working there, and it shows.

The food is absolutely delicious and served in daunting portions. The burgers are the jaw-unhinging size (and shape) of baseballs, cooked beautifully and doctored up in amazing ways. Six out of seven of us chose different styles, and none of us were disappointed; I had Boursin and poblano, and I still regret that I couldn't finish that last bite. The lone holdout, my mother, ordered a chef's salad and raved about it, saying that it was the first she'd ever had that she honestly couldn't finish. My dad and I will testify that she did her best.

The only dessert listed at Gordo's is the Dessert of the Day. I asked our waitress whether it actually existed, or if they (rightly) assumed that no one would ever have room to order it. She said that they did (it was tiramisu that day), but most people who could still think about food ordered it to go. My teenager made a reflexive plea, but they were too full to put in real effort.

If we didn't live two states away, Gordo's would already be our family's regular place, and my fridge would already be stocked with the Dessert of the Day. As it is, we'll definitely be back whenever we visit Cincinnati.“

“Needed to hydrate with a few pints after walking from Newport up the Mt. Adams stairs, this place punched the ticket for the only Dive bar in Mt. Adams!! Bob takes the lead in my 2026 Bartender of the year award. Chill place in time aged Mt. Adams!!“

“MOTR continues to be one of the best places to see both local and touring acts in Cincinnati. OTR is a special place, so having MOTR in the center of it - as the center of it - is really awesome and something I appreciate. Also, who doesn't love super crispy tater tots?“

“The great prices and the great food you can order from the restaurant next door Tom's Papa Dino's Pizza. Always a fun night on Wednesday Karaoke and Live Bands on Saturday nights.“

“Recently had a 30th birthday at Molly’s. They were super easy to book with, no outrageous room hire costs! They were very accommodating and we had a great night“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“My wife and I stopped by Zola Pub & Grill last Saturday—Derby Day—for a bite to eat. It wasn't crowded, just a few regulars at the bar, making it a nice, quiet spot to enjoy good food and good company. We started with the Cajun Cheese Fries (ordered without jalapeños or green onions and sour cream on the side), and they were delightful—served hot and fresh. Unlike some places, the cajun seasoning actually covered the fries rather than just being sprinkled on top, and the cheese was melted to perfection. We also split 10 medium wings which were hot and hit the mark, and my wife, who is a big fan of Caesar salads, absolutely loved theirs. To wash it all down, I stuck with Mich Ultras while my wife had the Country Boy Ciders; they were running a special that night for $3 a can, which made for a very reasonable bill. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional, and since the bartender mentioned they are known for their burgers, we’ll definitely be heading back to give those a try. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food and fair prices, this is a solid bet.“

“Popped in on Saturday night to see our friends in That One Party Band!! First time there and we had a blast!“

“Absolutely the best burger you can get. This place is a historic gem and an icon of Cincinnati“

“Outstanding crew here does all they can to assure you enjoy your visit. Great drinks, excellent beer selection, and a marvelous menu“

“Great neighborhood bar. Great bartenders, fantastic beer selection, but if you’re looking for food, you’re in the wrong place go across the street or next-door to Mo Chico or Tequila.. This is my favorite neighborhood. Hang out. Parking on the street or across the street in the Paige lot, or behind building on free parking deck.“

“Have ended many a night here over the span of many years, this place may not have the trendiest drinks nor the hippest crowds, but it has real people happily working and patronizing. A real gem, old Cov as it gets! Beautiful back bar, perhaps the most gorgeous in all of Kenton Co. Serves 7oz Little Kings, that says it all. Don't change a damn thing! Okay, maybe the name...“

“When we showed up with 70 people they were amazing! Service was great, workers were hustling, kitchen staff got all of our food out in a timely manner.“

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“I love this place 🥰. Sammy is the best bartender, always trying new drinks.“

“Pops n I try and come on Tues for the Burger Special. His drive is 5 mins. Mine is 45 mins 🤣 but I like him and love the burger 🤣 jk jk... I love both. And it's been a nice little thing for him n I to spend some time over a meal. Ps. I love him way more than the Burger 🫡(just don't tell the chef on me) 🤣“

“Bartender made my night very cool girl. Was Monday karaoke night and was older folks singing very old songs but it ended when I arrived which for me was good.

Parking: Tons of parking and very handicapped accessible

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar kids not welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: Great no issues“

“One of my favorite places to eatOne of my favorite places to eat and hang out! 🍀
We had the best time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day here with a great group of friends. The energy was fantastic — everyone was in green, the decorations were fun, and the pub was packed but still felt welcoming.

The food did not disappoint! We ordered the juicy burger with all the fixings (perfectly cooked and loaded with fresh toppings), a big basket of crispy wings in a delicious sauce, and the chicken sandwich with coleslaw that was fresh and flavorful. Fries were hot and seasoned just right. Everything came out fast and tasted homemade.
The service was friendly and attentive, even on a busy holiday. No wait for a table, which was a huge plus.

Whether you're coming for trivia night, a casual meal, or a lively celebration, Cloverleaf Pub delivers every time. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back soon, hangout“

“Great time, great food, bar tender knows how to show you a good time!!“

“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!“

“Highly recommend! Great service, great food and even better drinks! Atmosphere is chill and the staff is always friendly. Love this place and will continue to visit. Simply the best place in Delhi!!“

“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“

“Great atmosphere, lovely servers and one of the best fish and chips I’ve had in some time! I also tried the Rhinegeist Summer Lemonade, if you are a fan of a light citrus beverage, it was perfectly complementary to the fish and chips. Perfect summer lunch.“

“great food and very generous portions“

“Friendly neighborhood pub. Not sure if they serve food. Only saw popcorn. Drink prices reasonable, pours were generous. D.J. was soinnin' some great music. He did an 80's block that took me back to the ridin the rails skatin days. Thumbs High. ?“

“Fun atmosphere! Very friendly patrons!“

“I love love love this hometown bar! The Arnzen family & staff treat everyone like family. It’s literally like Cheers. They know your face and remember what’s going on in your life each time ya come in. I’m a Loveland native myself so I love the small town vibes.“

“I always order delivery from the Pub and I love their beer battered fish and chips. Its a large portion and looks very similar to what the original Brittish would serve. For it to be a major chain I didn't expect their fish to impress me however they have always got it right. Their cole slaw isn't bad either and I dont really eat cole slaw.“

“This place is now amazing! New Owners! Incredible food... I've had the burgers, the wings, salads and giant pretzel... and the Cajun pasta! There are only winners on this menu! Great beer selection! Clean! Finally this joint is doing justice to Benson!“

“cheers here. good food here“

“was recommended by another DJ fir karaoke 🎤 singing“

“Exceptional service, food, and atmosphere! Very friendly staff and amazing beers! 10/10 recommend!“

“I really like this place. The drinks are cheap, bartenders are friendly, and Pac Man for a quarter. Usually pretty laid back during the week, but can get lively on weekends. Nothing flashy or hip, just a little neighborhood hole in the wall done just right.“

“Good environment and good people! We came here while visiting our family and the food, environment and service were great! I would recommend this place to any one living in the area or visiting! And thank you to the manager on duty, she graciously paid for our meal! It was greatly appreciated!!! It goes to show that there are good people still out there!“

“A quiet and welcoming little nook nestled amongst all the glitter of nearby franchises it offers a simple and inexpensive menu. We were greeted quickly upon arrival and offered our choice of seating. Bartenders and waitstaff introduced themselves and genuinely inquired about how your day has been. If you’ve been here before they remembered you. Dinning was relaxed and easygoing, no rush to order or pressure to upsell you. Food arrived quickly presented simply but attractively. Prices are reasonable and much lower than surrounding venues. Thanks for a really good experience Ian. Anytime I’m in Cincinnati I’ll be coming back.“

“We had a surprise party here and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff was very friendly, fun and attentive. It may be a smaller, local bar but if you’re looking for a place for a party… Dixie Club is it! Excellent prices and perfect space for a private party.“

“The food was amazing the staff was wonderful . Definitely will be back“

“Great tacos and wonderful staff!! 🌮“

“A girlfriend and I came here during St. Patrick's Day weekend for a ladies weekend.

I must say, the ambiance and character is of the up most importance, and Max, with her having a very optimistic personality and easily keeping your spirit in a great mindset is nothing but worth the experience, along with Rob letting you know exactly where you should go depending on your personal preference, he will help lead you to a destination you're looking for, dependent upon your preference. Great experience, to say the least.“

“we found our phone! we thought we had lost it there but found it at home.“

“Juut the place to relax & have fun“

“Great service with friendly staff. Darts and more darts........“
