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'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!“

“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“

“Fun exciting entertaining“

“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“

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

“First time here, food is great, killer patio, plenty of seating, and most importantly......the service! Ask for Leila......or Lee-la, or Leighlu. Or quickly ask for Wee-wa, and they'll probably not notice and still sit you with Leila, and at that point you'll have tricked them prior to getting a delicious meal! She's the coolest!“

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

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

“Dana g can’t be me !! 💯🙌🏻❤️“

“We visited for the first time and were very pleased. The bar is quite big with plenty of places to sit. They have a bunch of bar games too. We were there for a live performance by Tin Hat Cowboys and they were a great time. We also tried some food and it was better than expected. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back.“

“Very friendly & great service!“

“Awesome place great food and drinks“

“Great staff and leadership“

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

“Food was good. The service was excellent, but the alcohol was definitely diluted with water.“

“It brings the hood out 💯💯💯💯“

“Very relaxed environment with great food and drinks! Once you order at the front counter, you can order drinks at the bar. You completely serve yourself but it's still a great place to go for watching TV, trivia on Tuesdays and bingo Thursdays!“

“yes I do the thing is good and the bartenders are very hospitality“

“Really cool vibe and nice strong drinks 🍹 cheers“

“Very nice environment and good chicken“

“Had a 4pm reservation. Luckily we found a parking spot on the street but if you can't find one there is a parking lot right across the street ($20.00). When we walked in it definitely felt like a bar. Bar area was full and lively when we walked thru. Hostess checked us in and sat us in the covered/enclosed patio area right away. Sarah, our waitress, came over right away and introduced herself. We knew right away she'd take care of us. Ordered our drinks and waited for the rest of the group. As soon as they arrived Sarah brought the drinks, right on queue. We had a couple of Old Fashioneds (Four Roses and Angels Envy). Both were very good. They were on the stronger side, close to straight buorbon (we like ours with a little more simple syrup). We passed on appetizers and headed straight to the food. Ordered the Last Don with fries, the parblano paper jam, bacon and monterey was an excellent combination on this burger.. Fries were seasoned and crispy. Next up was the Short Rib Grilled Cheese and fries. Unfortunately I forgot to ask Sarah to hold the pickled red onion and had to trade mine for The Last Don. My hubby was a sport about it and he ate the Short Rib GC and he said it was very good. Last was the Truffle Brie Chicken with mushroom risotto, truffle brie sauce and asparagus. This dish was the highlight of the meal. Excellent all around with the perfect amount of truffle. The only small issue we had was when the food came out the burger and grilled cheese plates and fries were cold. However, the Truffle Brie Chicken dish was still hot. We didn't have an issue eating the cold food because we figured the pasta dish was what held up our other plates and it was beyond delicious.. Other than the cold food, everything else was top notch. We were not there when they had live music (intentionally, we had my 86yo mom with us) but we could tell it could probably getting a little loud in tye patio area when there is live music, which wouldnt bother us at all. We enjoyed visiting the oldest tavern in Cincinnati. This has kicked off our A to Z journey and glad we chose Arnold's as our first stop.“

“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)“

“fantastic place great food“

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

“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!“

“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 :)!!!“

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

“great place and great drinks“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Had apps and drinks with friends and the service was SUPERB!“

“Wonderful food, great owner, great service.“

“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.“

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

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

“We ate there last night before seeing Mac McAnally. We got there early and ordered food and beer as soon as we walked in. It was not busy but quickly filled up. We received our food within 20 minutes and it was very good. We ate and had a total of 3 beers. The total bill with a generous tip was less than $50

The secret was to order food and beer as soon as you walk in. We saw other people that were waiting a longer time because they came in when the bar was busy.

There is outside and inside seating. This was our first time here but we will be back.“

“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!!“

“LOVE this place. Great atmosphere, fantastic service. I live close and regularly stop in for lunch. Sadly, I haven't made their Trivia Night on Mondays in a while- but if you have the chance, its so fun. Local comedian Steve Caminiti hosts and will have you laughing from start to finish! Always a blast!“
