12 Best Gastropubs in Cincinnati

“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.“

“Was there on 6/21/25 and it was the best and awesome food and probably the best waitress we have ever had (Jala?). Highly recommend and will definitely be back to eat there again.“

“Fantastic Veggie Burger! Will definitely come back“

“We love our friends at Tēla! Always great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food!“

“My friend Rachel and I stopped in at Northside Yacht Club for dinner. I had the Arby's special, and it was some of the best Arby's themed food I've had since moving away from Georgia. Rachel had the wings and thought they were the best she's ever had in southwestern Ohio, and you know what - I agree. We will definitely be back.“

“Service, at least on Sundays--which is the only time I go there--is excellent!

Vegetarian options: Very good roasted Brussels sprouts.

Parking: Free parking in the lot across the street, at least on Sundays.“

“Service was great and everyone was friendly. Appetizers were great, drinks were excellent , food was very good but the mussels I had were so tiny I couldn’t believe it. Our desserts were very good. Loved they had music and the atmosphere was awesome. Only disappointment was the mussels which were definitely not like New Orleans“

“So many good things! Took family visiting from Maryland. Great giant burgers, a fantastic adult grilled cheese, and my own favorite, Chef Michael's pimento cheese.

Dietary restrictions: I was able to go even with my rotator walker and my nephew used a walker with no problems as well. We both asked for no added salt and they have vegan options, too. Handicap parking right outside the door with wheelchair ramp

Parking: We needed handicapped parking and found an open space right next to wheelchair ramp.“

“We had a great meal at Nicholson's, as usual. Server, Deja, was very attentive, pleasant, and accurate. The food and the drinks (beers for me, mixed drinks for wife) were very good. We had Scotch Eggs, Salmon Crostini, the Welsh Dip sandwich, and the Shrimp and Grits, all delicious. Only minor point to note is that it is not the cheapest place. But what can you expect of a good place in a great location in downtown Cincinnati these days? The check without tips was just over $100.“

“The wings are soo good i would drive 2 hours just to eat them again 🤤“

“Food was amazing. I had the shrimp po Boy sandwich with slaw and 2 beers .If am ever back this is the place.“
