50 Best Bars near Blue Ash

“WOW....first night in Blue Ash, Cincinnati...found this little gem of a bar, great atmosphere. Todd and Josh, me feel really welcome, even though my Scouse accent was difficult to follow 🤣 And the IPA, is beautiful! Differently visit it again!!!“

“For me, this place is all about setting expectations. I wanted something close to me where my son could play pool. This is a no frills neighborhood divebar. Food is largely snacks, bags of chips, pretzels, etc. I don't think there were any taps, but they did have liquor if you wanted. The perk, which is what makes this place shine, is the prices, 3 basic beers and a bag of chips was ~$12. The staff were friendly and the place was relatively quiet. There was karakoe, darts, and a pool table, plus an outdoor space. It was well worth the trip, but don't expect anything fancy.“

“Everything was so yummy! Best crust I’ve had in forever! The pizza was so good ! We started with the stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms did not disappoint! Great wine. The balsamic was great. Service was fantastic! Would definitely come again.“

“If you are staying at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash, then give the hotel restaurant a try. The waitresses and bartenders are extremely nice and helpful. Good size menu for a hotel restaurant. Prices are even better compared to chain restaurants. Water and sodas are complimentary. Food quality is great. Above my expectations completely. Anytime I go to Cincinnati, I will be staying and eating at that hotel.“

“We catered from Tahona for our wedding and it was amazing! The prices were great, and everyone raved about the food!!“

“Shareable menu items that are tasty and unique…smelt fries and duck fat fried potatoes. Delicious. Great service and oh yeah - Longfellow charm all the way.“

“100% satisfaction 100% of the time. I have eaten and drank here many times over many years and I have never had a bad experience with the food, the drink, or the customer service. This place is the epitome of a beloved local bar & grill.“

“One of my favorite places to relax!!! Beautiful ambiance, amazing cocktails, fun staff and clientele. A true hidden gem. HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“I try to make it to a handful of shows at this venue every year. Great venue for intimate shows. This place gets all the artists that other tri-state venues used to get pre-pandemic. This is the go-to singer-songwriter spot in the tri-state.“

“I stop by a lounge in every city I visit. When I walked in I was greated, a lil chat and I was shown the humidor. I ordered my drink and paid. I thought this is a good place to be empty. I struck my match and they guy calmly said OH rules don't allow smoking. He showed me to the patio, I find the crowd watching the game. Now I get it. Great place had a food truck which was good. I even chatted with the guy on my way out. I'm not one for convo but he was inviting. If it's near pull up and relax!“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about my first experience here. The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was relaxing and the cigar selection was great. Will definitely be visiting again especially once the weather turns.“

“Was in town for the week on business. We all had a blast!!“

“This is hands down my favorite bar in the city, with the best bartenders around! The cocktails are consistently exceptional, but it’s the sense of community that truly sets this place apart. Wiseguys was one of the first places I visited after moving here from out of state, and Harrison was one of the first friendly faces I met. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and making amazing drinks, he also offered great local tips and made me feel genuinely welcomed both at the bar and in Cincinnati. He really went (and goes) above and beyond! Big shout out to Ellie, Brandon, and Stephen as well – sitting at Wiseguys and enjoying a couple of Sunkissed Sweethearts or espresso martinis with this crew is always a blast!“

“What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).“

“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.“

“Celebrating our 15th anniversary at The Blind Lemon. Few of our date nights there! My partner Joel
Mellon has been there in 1984! When we met in 2003 we came here often! Our favorite drink is the Grand Mariner warm! The solo guitarist voice was amazing! The magical part of the night was as we were about to leave she sang our song! Norah Jones ‘ come Away With Me’
It was perfect! The night ended well!’
?❤️?“

“I stumbled into this place with some work colleagues when we were working in the area. When we walked in the door, I had no idea what kind of food they served. The menu wasn’t particularly large, but it had some really interesting choices. I’m not a big hot dog person, but there was a broad selection of very unique hot dogs. I ended up choosing the Elote grilled cheese, and we also got some duck fries for the table to share. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the grilled cheese sandwich, but it was outstanding! The fries and dipping sauce were also really good!“

“Stopped in with some friends for some bar hopping on Saturday. First time ordering food before we got started. The brisket chili was just AMAZING. Very tender meat and tons of flavor. Would and will highly recommend, as well as order more for myself in the future.“

“Bartender/owner showed my friends and I a great time to start off our night! Streetside parking on the edge of campus. Environment felt very safe and welcoming. I absolutely will come back here and drag more friends. Drinks came out to a great price for any broke college students (about 5-8$/drink.)“

“Place just went under new management and I attended a soft opening. The vibe is right. The new owner and service are phenomenal. There's a food truck, outdoor patio, and good tunes. This will be my new favorite spot from now on.“

“Always a great time and a great place to hang out!“

“Benefit fun and pub crawl “Be like Katy” afternoon“

“Stopped in for beers while visiting Second Sunday on Main after seeing 4 hot guys in a row go inside lol. Very fun and friendly neighborhood bar. Kyle the bartender is awesome! Although I live in Hyde Park I’ll definitely be upping my OTR game and visiting again“

“😍Just love the Edge Inn Tavern! Been going there since I could sit on my daddy's lap in 1959!“

“Inviting atmosphere with great coffee and even better service.

I Stumbled upon this cafe on google and learned that it is one of the few coffee shops that are open late into the evening. As soon as i walked in, i noticed that the pillows in top of the seating rows and the great cozy atmosphere that allows people to work while minding their business which is the perfect mix for a coffee spot!

They have a downstairs too and both floors have a patio area which I will try once the weather gets warmer. The downstairs is a more quiet environment but the main floor is filled with vibes and background conversations so it offers both ambiances that a cafe often calls for.

The selection of wine has depth which makes it a good spot to hangout even after the coffee hours are gone.

As a latino, i loved seeing the empanadas on their menu which is a great snack or meal and goes well with coffee.

I ordered the usual, dark toast drip coffee, yet again and the flavor was a bit on the robust side with a hint of bitterness but delicious nonetheless. I had more than three refills of it and was more awake than a meth head at 3 pm in the afternoon!

The barista was so sweet and was more than happy to take care of my refills every time i stepped up to the bar!

Will come back to try their empanadas.“

“Great place !! But …. well ., I’m trying to date Betty 😐🤣🥰✅“

“Our drinks were amazing the bar manager was so helpful and great atmosphere can’t wait to go again“

“Great atmosphere with excellent music and wonderful people“

“This place was so much fun and Tiffany was a fantastic host!!! Thank you for making us feel welcome and super comfortable!!!“

“the rooftop restaurant! Probably had the best seat in the city to view Great American Ballpark and the riverfront, not to mention an awesome view of downtown. Atmosphere is more like 10-star. Then when it came to our waitress, Abby. 1000% off the charts incredible service. Again, a 10-Star rating. We will be back!“

“In town for our anniversary. Randomly looked up options for cocktails and lunch. Reserved a spot via Open Table and they did not disappoint. The deviled eggs are amazing. The Dirty French burger and Neck Bone Gravy were out of this world. Service was top notch. We will be back!“

“Super cool outta the way spot. I’ve driven by it a 100 times and finally got to go in and absolutely felt comfortable immediately. Prices were more than reasonable and hands down the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in a hot minute. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful and the people who went there were absolutely friendly, and I had the best time I’ve had in a long time.“

“amazing people feelings like home great bartenders the owners are loving people ❤️💜“

“Stopped in on an overcast Sunday afternoon and was greeted with enthusiasm and excitement. After a quick T&C's for handling projectile axes, we were escorted to our throwing bay and instructed on proper form, safety, and game scoring. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help a couple of noobs learn the finer points of axe throwing. I was asked not one, not twice, but THREE times if there was an NFL game I was interested in, and they put my game of choice up on the mega screen. We had a ton of fun hurling iron, and the staff was amazing. Looking forward to returning with more people to experience the duel.“

“Loved this place. First time and will definitely be going back. I suggest the beef sliders and salmon tacos. So tasty!!“

“such a nice place the owners are wonderful and very welcoming very clean inside and out watched the Bengals game there for Monday night football had a blast we will definitely be back!“

“Great place! Kim and Peter make everyone feel welcome.“

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“Fun, intimate little bar with a "Hemingway" vibe. Imaginative themed cocktails named for Hemingway characters & events... really charming bartender and a dark "tropical" environment. (Bring your own snacks) Enjoyed this great "moody" hangout. Pineapple Upside Down Daiquiri was especially good!“

“I take back my rating they called last call I brought our dirty glasses to bar & everyone started yelling. The bartender was awesome but come blonde headed troll wanted to fight me when I said we were waiting on an Uber then another guy came out ready to fight me. Will NEVER come back they“

“The best place to watch footy in Cincinnati.“
