“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.“

Prim Bar • $$
70 West 5th Street, Cincinnati - 11.59 miles

“This was a pretty cool vibe. If you like a little dark and intimate, then this is going to be a pretty cool fit for you. You'll find parking somewhere in downtown on the street or whatever the case may be and you'll hop in. There are a couple of different sides to the establishment:
- A bar that has seating when you come in is fine to sit at
- The side where you will get the lounge action so that's where your seats and lounge couches are set up

I hear that they do live music at some point in time or another so that's going to be pretty cool at some point. I didn't actually see that when I was there but at the same time they did have music playing and it was actually pretty dope.

The bartending staff was pretty cool. I only went for one drink just to give it a go. I got an Irish espresso martini and it didn't have the things that I asked for but they were comparable. The menu itself is very intricate and they can explain it a lot better. I was going for the tried and true.

Either way it goes I thought it was a pretty cool experience and it's a thing that you could do for a date night or something like that I guess.“

Whiskey Flight

“If you want a good whiskey bar, this should definitely be on your radar. It's upstairs from Goodfellas if you are in the area so it's not hard to find. There will be some glass door signage on the front of the building if you are going to get some pizza, so you know you're in the right place. You have to find street parking but that's not a big deal.

Overall it was pretty good. If you wanted to dabble in some dark liquor, they have an abundance of options. You can't go wrong. It's all on the wall and the wall is basically to the ceiling with bottles .

They have pizza. You can get upstairs but it's only whole pizzas and it's not like you can get slices unfortunately. Just keep that in mind if you want food .

The staff was pretty cool even though when we got there they were about to close up shop. I know they were really trying to hustle but they still were very friendly. They even suggested that we try some a little bit odd drinking combinations but they turned out okay.

I ended up getting a peanut butter and jelly shot type situation. They make their own peanut butter alcohol and they couple it with a back of, I think, a blackberry beer or something along those lines. It's a really odd combination but you don't find it everywhere. It was a pretty cool experience .

Oh they have plenty of space for you if it's downstairs by the pizza or it's upstairs where the bottles are. They actually have an upstairs beyond that but when I went they were closed. This is a good spot to come through and you can start your night here to get a couple of good bourbon drinks and then move on around the city because it's very walkable. You'll have a good time hopefully .“
