50 Best Bars near Blue Ash

“Fun atmosphere with a great selection of beer!“

“Great family atmosphere. I was shocked. I was not expecting a friendly experience and incredible service. This might be my new standard. And eye candy was everywhere(yes, my wife came with me that night! Haha!). Toilets need to be expanded.“

“I am a wedding officiant so I am the only person at a wedding that is legally required to know what is going on. Do you know how many weddings I go to and the bread is cold???? Seriously, people pay a ton of money for catered weddings with cold bread. With these guys, the food is always hot and fresh. And I LOVE their grilled veggies. They are one of the few caterers I will stick around after the ceremony for.“

“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.“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful!! Their patio area just amazing!“

“Damon provides great service and it is a relaxed atmosphere.“

“This place is amazing!! Great atmosphere, absolutely fantastic bartenders and very affordable drinks. I stayed in the Airbnb above the bar for Blink 2024 and could not have had more fun after the festival hanging out at this bar!! Could not recommend this place more. 5 Stars 10/10“

“Tommie’s Place is fantastic. The bartenders are extremely talented, the decor is on point and the DRINKS ARE DELICIOUS!“

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

“Wonderful spot! Our bartender, Cat, is an absolute delight! One interaction with her and you can tell she’s an all around fantastic person. The other bartenders were lovely too, very helpful and kind. Lots of room to move around and not feel crowded, and the basketball and golf games were a big hit!“

“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!’

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“The Gas Light Cafe is your go-to spot when you find yourself in Cincinnati. This local watering hole is not just a place to grab a drink; it's a community-centric hub where the walls are a mosaic of memories, each photo a testament to the family's journey and the countless hearts they've touched along the way. The double cheeseburger with fries and cold draft beer is my favorite but you can't go wrong with their daily specials. It's the perfect casual spot to watch sports year round, where you can cheer on your favorite team (Go Bengals!) in good company.“

“We came here for dinner one mid-week evening before taking a stroll through Summit Park. You can definitely show up dressed comfortably/casually, but they have pretty decent ambiance, suitable for some weekend fun. We weren't super intrigued by the menu; it was a little less extensive than I'd hope from a place like this, mostly heavier options, and maybe not a ton of things I'd order next time. For me, the mussels far exceeded my expectations. That broth was heavenly, the bread was soft and perfect for soaking up the great flavors, the mussels themselves were very abundant, and had okay freshness. My lady said her burger was mediocre. She tried both the truffle fries and duck fat fries and was disappointed by both. I've never seen her not eat fries before, so that says a lot! Service was good overall. I'd come back for those mussels any day, but not quite as excited to dig deeper into the menu. I wouldn't deter anybody from giving them a try, especially if out enjoying the park on a nice day.“

“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!“

“Had a great time. Bbq chicken pizza was great. Husband had po'boy daughter had Ramen bowl. Everything was great however when the music started it was so loud you couldn't talk at your table. we were sitting half was through but was still very loud. Will definitely be back“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Holy cow! I am hesitant to post this because if too many people find out about this place then no one could get in. The service was amazing!!! The food was fu$&ing incredible! I had a mid rare burger add bacon, shrooms, and mayo. When the waitress came back around I actually said it was fu$&ing amazing. Incredible onion rings andmozzarella sticks as well. For a party of four with two appetizers and two Red Claws it was $91 with tip. Go here, have a burger! Demand the onion rings!!!“

“Great bar for local live music every night (especially the blues), including open mic Tuesdays. Almost all shows are free (generous tips much appreciated).

There's a rich history and great story about the bar and building it's in. Lots of cool photos of musicians plus Marilyn Monroe and other classic era celebrities).

The bar was full of friendly music lovers and bartender Kyle was awesome - made me feel right at home.

They have a patio and you can get food too. It's also a short walk from Newport on the Levee.“

“So this is not the original 16 bit bar ( level one bar and arcade is the actual place if ypu looking for the original one ) this place is called pins mechanical ( bowling and bar arcade that's totally different ) . If you are looking for the OG 16 bit it's on Walnut .“

“So happy to have this fantastic cocktail bar in our neighborhood. The cocktail and wine selection is wonderful and the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is dark and moody and lends itself well to the curated music and extensive vinyl collection. My only critique is the overpowering fragrance of the bar. You can get whiffs from down the street and I can’t help but taste it in my drink and water. Dial that fragrance back and it’s a 10 out of 10!!!“

“Had a great time for our Company Leadership Day! Good for groups of under 20.“

“Great bluegrass band playing on Friday. Service was a little slow but acceptable. Food was great and cocktails were great. Had a 1664 beforehand and it was sour like lines hadn't been cleaned for an off brand beer that might be reasonable“

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

“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“

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

“A great warm inviting speakeasy lounge industrial hybrid of a bar right above Goodfellas pizza shop. Grab a slice of pizza and a giant breadstick from below and head upstairs where they have incredible craft cocktails for reasonable prices in a very relaxed and inviting atmosphere with seating anywhere from couches to a classy bar to regular tables that can be pushed together to accommodate larger groups and an outdoor space! The bartenders are always extremely kind, knowledgeable, and great at crafting serious drinks of any sort. We love coming here for low key quality drinks and a quiet warm atmosphere with a touch of leather and wood and class to the air!“

“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.“

“Loved this place! Great atmosphere, music and cocktails ♥️“

“amazing place, amazing time“

“This is an amazing concert venue. The church setting adds a mystical atmosphere.“

“I've only been here once, so far. It's a decent-sized space inside, with lots of outlets, WiFi, and chairs with backs and cushions. There's also plenty of patio seating for a nicer day. Drink-wise, the plain latte I had was 10/10. The espresso/barista quality speak for themselves, and it speaks volumes if I can enjoy a drink that much without trying a more interesting/seasonal drink. They also have pastries/breakfast items. The mini quiche was phenomenal -- herby, rich, a tad bit of spice.. I'd eat it any day. My hard-to-please lady said the coffee cake was just decent and the caramel vanilla capp was 8/10 (excellent by her standards). This place is open late and serves wine/beer/cocktails, too.. what that really means is this is a rare place where you can get a coffee late in the evening! I have no doubt they'll be seeing my face more in the future; it's a top-notch coffee shop that I can't wait to explore more of!

Parking: 2 hour limit on the meters, but you can move a couple spaces over and be in a different zone“

“Great atmosphere with excellent music and wonderful people“

“Awesome place with an awesome bartender. Great beer on tap and was shocked at the $2 surprise beer being a decent craft. Lots of space for hanging out. Plenty of people playing board games and card games when we showed up. Definitely dog friendly. There was like 5 dogs hanging out when we visited. Cozy and pretty quite space overall. Plenty of side street parking nearby. Definitely would go back!“

“This place is great! The distillery has a good variety of products, the atmosphere is great, and the food is amazing. We had BBQ ribs and watched as they were cooked over an open fire right in front of us! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and tasted fantastic. We found Karrikin Spirits through the Harvest Host program and felt very welcomed. We will definitely be coming back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Decora Eatery and Drinkery is a hidden gem! Incredible cocktails, delicious food, and stunning art all in one place. The maple bacon Old Fashioned was perfection, and the Spicy Paloma had just the right kick. The rotating local art adds a fresh vibe every time. Can’t wait to return!“

“Fajita bowl was delicious. Great service and atmosphere!“

“We don't really drink much... but the little we did was very good as was the service. Our main thing was looking for a decent place to play a cpl games of pool from time to time. Their pool tables are very nice. The employees that we've met this far have also been very nice. It's overall a nice place. And by far one of the best Bloody Mary's we've had.
They don't serve food, but sometimes I guess ppl bring stuff in to set up for patrons to share... which is pretty cool.
We just really liked it. ?“

“The overall atmosphere and the staff was wonderful“

“Nothing but the best to say about the Bay Horse Cafe. Our company is right next to him and we greatly enjoy stopping in after work. Kyle is a great owner with everything operating smooth as can be. His staff is also awesome and friendly as can be which is just a reflection of how much Kyle cares about providing a quality experience for his customers.“

“My bud and I visited yesterday (Sunday) and we liked the beer and the place BUT they have an image problem...outside, it looks like a liquor store on a side street, and not a "lodge" nor a "brewing company." Inside, it could use some overstuffed furniture and not only pub tables. Our GPS could not even find it! I hope that the next time we are in the area, it will be a much more aesthetic (as well as alcoholic) experience!“

“Gorgeous hotel and friendly staff. Super clean and beds are comfortable. Rooms have small touches that are awesome (lighted magnified mirror in the bathroom for doing makeup is amazing!).“

“Great food and drink! Would go back again!“

“Dana’s is the classic lesson of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” There is nothing fancy about this place except for the hearts of its employees and patrons. If Xavier is only going to have only one bar- let it be the very essence of the wonderful students and families who create X. Celebrate your victories or drown your sorrows at Dana’s. Surely, you will leave with brighter spirits!“

“Great local brewery to grab a cold beer! They have friendly staff and wonderful owners“

“Service, food, and drinks were great. Thank you for an amazing dinner before my concert“
