50 Best Bar & Grill in Cincinnati

“Ali and Dan are doing a great job of bringing this place back to life. We stopped in for a carryout order of wings yesterday. The wings were great as we watched our Bengals at home. The interior is really looking good. More TV's and new furniture. Keep up the good work in Madeira.“

“Classic Americana and textbook friendly neighborhood bar-restaurant! Newtown Village Tavern pizza is everything LaRosa’s wishes it was and it is the superior “Cincinnati Pie” in every way. Cold beer on tap, sports on the tube. What more could you want?“

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!“

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

“We enjoyed a delicious brisket/baked potato combo Friday evening on the way to a Christmas concert. As we were leaving the owner (Chris Rose) noticed that I was a University of Kentucky fan. He presented us with a piece of the Rupp Arena floor! We will return for the excellent grub and hospitality!!“

“We've been going for years & never disappointed. Once we had cold something & the Owner/Mgr had it made fresh & on the table quickly. Always a joy when we leave. Staff if all great!“

“Very friendly bar staff, delicious food, awesome live music, spacious indoor and outdoor seating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great bar, nice Bartenders an good Environment. Always a fun time!!!“

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

“Amazing food and the best hospitality! If you haven't been here you're definitely missing out on some wonderful mouth watering food!“

“Lee the bartender was transcendent!!! 5*****“

“Wings are so good from here. I also really enjoy the fried pickles and Mozzarella sticks are delicious. Drinks are good and not over priced. The back patio is a nice touch. Being able to take your drinks out and smoke is great to. Fun local bar. Definitely will be back.“

“A great time with great ppl and music not to mention the drinks are on point !“

“great food and very generous portions“

“Fun exciting entertaining“

“Dana g can’t be me !! 💯🙌🏻❤️“

“Very friendly & great service!“

“This place is just the best. But don’t tell anybody though because we can’t have the whole city bearing down on this place all at once now, you understand? Don’t tell nobody but dammit if this place ain’t a treat. Tammy behind the bar is an absolute saint and she makes a kickass bacon cheeseburger. Not to mention, she serves as the bartender, chef, dishwasher, and sheriff of the place all at once. RESPECT! Don’t tell anybody but this place is the absolute best.“

“Delicious food that left us full and happy. The slider sampler is such a smart option on a menu because it gave us an opportunity to try a few burgers 🍔 I'd definitely recommend the one with the goat cheese! The loaded mimosas were VERY strong. We should've checked to see what was in them first so that was our bad 😅 We drank about 1/2 of ours and were feeling it. Neither of us are big alcohol drinkers though. We wanted the seasoned parmesan fries as an appetizer and our waitress let us know that we could just upgrade from the chips! Ended up trying the gouda mac and cheese bites which were awesome. Highly recommend checking them out! 😊“

“Zac is a great bartender. He remembers you and your drink of choice as you walk in the door and generally has it waiting at your barstool by the time you take your seat. Friendly patrons, TouchTunes, multiple TV screens and Grippos BBQ chips! Check it out.“

“Great establishment, perfect if u dont do huge crowds, love service & menu, the new cheers😁, where they know your nane.“

“EVERYTHING. This MoFo deserves ALL the stars! Great wings, BEST FRIES EVER! - yeah, I said E V E R. The wedge salad tasted like they picked it from the Garden of Eden, made with the world’s best house made ranch dressing- they should bottle that Sh!T. & My drink was top-notch, served by great bartenders in a cozy brick pub, like if Cheers had a “study”. My entree was the Beef on Weck sandwich. All I can say is WHAT THE WECK WAS THAT?! So juicy! So delicious! The cooks in the back were raised RIGHT. Best kept secret in Cincinnati for sure. Stop searching for a restaurant and go here! I’d right this Pony ANYTIME (chef’s kiss)“

“Great staff and leadership“

“The variety of sports teams' decor throughout the establishment was nice, too.“

“It's really heartwarming to see a mini curbside food pantry there also that you can contribute to and share your extra blessings with people. I like that these are popping up in the city. I've seen one in Northside also, by the old IGA and rec center.“

“As an IT professional of 30 plus years, I have traveled the United States extensively. Sometimes, believe it or not, it is really hard just to find a really good sports bar with good food. Look no further, this is the place. If you are on the west side, this should be your go-to. I haven't eaten anything in here that wasn't good. The service is excellent and the food is always hot and ready. The bartenders and waitresses are awesome. The ownership is involved. There are TVs everywhere for whatever game you want to watch. Highly recommend!“

“No food but they do have days they do bring food for the customers nice spot with good drinks everyone is friendly/family I'm a regular! I been going for years now and even had a few of my birthday parties in there as well music is jukebox but if you come on certain days the bartender Mr Tyrone will play the music from a device I love everyone there especially the bartenders Nicole! Trish! Vicky! Tyrone! Ms Tony! Brenda! Everyone has good vibes and always smile will forever be my favorite chill spot“

“I haven't been here in like 4 years but I still think about the Yo Mama Burger on a regular basis. It's honestly a crazy thing to put into your body but it was without a doubt the best hamburger I've ever had. I hope one day I'll go back to Cincinnati and do it again.“

“I’ve been looking for a place here in Cincinnati that can make me a Lobster and Crab grilled cheese like I had at the LAX airport a few months back. They were able to add the lobster to a grilled cheese but not the crab meat and it was good just a tad bit salty but I would definitely try again. Really appreciated them making the accommodation. Rest of the food was good except for the Coleslaw, just too different for my taste. Bacon cheeseburger was better than average. Mozzarella sticks were ok. Waitresses was ok, not as conversational as we are use to but serviceable. Price was reasonable for 2 meals, a speciality sandwich, and an appetizer. We agreed to give this establishment a 8 out of 10 overall. Definitely will return.“

“fantastic place great food“

“Always good food. Always good and friendly waitress. No complaints been coming there for years. 😊“

“Woah. The signature chicken tenders are unreal. The fries were great and the view outside is classic. Bartender was awesome as well. Thanks guys for a great experience!“

“Great Food, Great Service, Good time every time! Welcoming environment!“

“They pissef me off tonight. Told me I had to leave and take my mom home.“

“Surprisingly wide range of food options. Had a small company Christmas party there last week. The beer selection was good,but this place is a restaurant/ bar vs a craft brewery, which is fine by me. The parking was easy also. Everyone had fun, the pool table was in nice shape, the darts were good also. We'll be back“

“Very nice environment and good chicken“

“It brings the hood out 💯💯💯💯“

“great place and great drinks“

“shout out to bar maid for making my sister feel good!“

“this soul food has Serious Soul. delicious and well fed portions 🔥🙌“

“Met my friends for lunch for our monthly get together. I believe our servers name was Sherryl and she was phenomenal. I had the turkey sandwich and hands down it was the best I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommended this place, great atmosphere.“

“5 out of 5!!!me and my friends doing the bourbon trail came all the way from North Carolina up to visit. Awesome wings, awesome staff, and most importantly awesome sports on the tv’s. Definitely will be going back. Thanks for doing Carolina proud with yalls Carolina gold bbq sauce.“

“Every Tuesday my coworkers and I come to hanks because Chris and Josh just know how to take care of their people. The laughs we have with them make it worth it every time. Couldn’t come here and have a blast like we do without them. Wouldn’t want to frequent this pub knowing they weren’t there. Thankful for Josh and Chris’ service. They are our favorite!“

“The bartender are not friendly to new customers. They only serve people who are regularly in there. The bartenders give off old bitter hater vibes. If you’re nice looking woman I don’t recommend you go there cuz you will not be served a drink. Also, if you are not from that area the people are rude and weird towards you. Do not recommend this place because the energy is off.“

“Great Place. Waitress was busy but still attentive. Place was clean and the food was great. Will stop by again.“

“Love this bar and the bartenders!! Every experience is A+++ guaranteed a good time in a good atmosphere❤️🤙“

“We love the atmosphere, good food and drinks. Staff is very friendly and professional. Clean and a nice place to go hang out to eat and mingle with others and YOU can control the music using the QR code provided at your table. Ms. Tina at the bar with those blue berry drinks are on point. This our new hang out spot :)!!!“

“We loved our food at APG! The wait staff was awesome and there was no wait!! Can't wait to go again!“

“Silverton Cafe is a great place for a group if friends or date to have something to eat, drink and listen to live music.. always have a great band.. variety of music. Good croud, excellent service, owner us always there and very attentive. Highly recommended!!“

“Great place! I was here with a large group before the Iowa State Cincinnati football game. Arlin’s did a fantastic job hosting us before the game. Their bar food is great, drinks are strong, service is very friendly. I love their outdoor patio area, too!
I would recommend to anyone in the Cincy area.“
