Stanley's Pub Dive Bar • $
323 Stanley Ave, Cincinnati

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“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. ?“

“Pretty much the epitome of a hole in the wall bar. The staff or bartender aren't the most social creates but that's not why you go there. The beer and drinks a dirt cheap and good. I'm pretty sure that regulars there have been patronizing that bar for years. Great little bar if your into that style and atmosphere.“

Back Door Saloon Sports Bar • $

“I have never been to the Backdoor Saloon. It is located in the rear of the Greenhills Shopping Plaza. I believe it is a bar. The Backdoor Saloon has it's own vibe. It appears to have a tight knit community of people who gather there. This is showing up as a place I've visited because the harvest festival happens in close proximity. If you are thinking of going to be the Back Door Saloon I would encourage you to call first to get details about business hours and etc.“

“The food was bland, hot,fresh, on the "chicken nachos",says it was chicken but all I was eating was chips, cheese, and veggies. I had a watermelon cup(but not a real watermelon)little to no alcohol, the picture has an ACTUALLY watermelon CUP? we thought that's what we were getting! Waited 10min for my waitress with little to nobody in there(she was new) I'm guessing food is cook order??‍♀️ because that took a while to get, bout time we got our food we had them put it in to go boxes, we had to hit the road! I would come back to this place to give it a second try! #no complaints....“

“Solid easy to get to bar. Service is quick, you have to go to the bar for Service later in the night. Staff is polite and efficient. Beer is cold. You get pushed out pretty quick at 2am, so make sure your tab is paid or you have a hefty addition added to your tab!“

Bakers Lakeside Pub Bar • $
903 Cincinnati-Batavia Pike, Cincinnati

“Dive into Bakers Lakeside Pub, the hidden gem that’s less ‘hole in the wall’ and more ‘portal to good times.’ It’s my go-to watering hole where the bar stools have heard more secrets than a confessional booth. And Tiffany? She’s not just a bartender; she’s a liquid magician, a pour savant, the high priestess of the long pour that won’t leave your wallet weeping. If you’re craving a drink where the spirits are high and the prices aren’t, let Tiff be your spirit guide.Bakers isn’t just an atmosphere; it’s a vibe you can breathe – think of it as oxygen with a hint of nostalgia. Oh, and let’s not forget about Free Pool Mondays – it’s like Christmas for pool sharks and wannabes alike, but instead of reindeer, you get eight balls. Shoot your shot, because at Bakers, every Monday you can channel your inner pool prodigy without spending a dime. Rack ’em up and chalk your cue for a night where the only thing cheaper than the pool is the… well, nothing. Nothing is cheaper than free.In summary, swing by Bakers for a pint, a play, and a piece of pure pub paradise. Where else can you find the holy trinity of good vibes, great drinks, and gratuitous gaming?“

“Quiet little burger joint with a beautiful view. The burger was juicy. The bartender didn't listen very well with the condiments, but I won't complain. The view was immaculate. The patrons there were nice and welcoming. I'll go again when I am on that side of town.

Parking: Street parking. Mostly residential.“
