We had a nice dinner at Nicholson's tonight. The food was good. The server was excellent, Joshua. But the music was so loud that it was hard to have conversation.

Always love it here but love even more to find out they do theme drinks for the theater across the street. This will get me here every show! Otherwise I enjoy an afternoon or early evening at the bar, with a few drinks and a cheese tray. Love cutting the cheese with friends. Saw a tiny lady get the largest sandwich I ever saw. Turns out she shared it, but it was big enough for a family of four! She didn't even finish her half. Huge portions are a turn off for me.

Had the BEST meal and service today. Natalie was a GREAT SERVER and the special Peter Pan menu was a nice touch before seeing the play. PLEASE keep cocktails sauce as an option for your fish and chips. I don't like tarter but LOVED having it for my shrimp and fish today.

Nothing is more satisfying than spending time in a true Irish bar. While traveling through Cincinnati on my way to other destinations, I happened to be staying at a hotel in town and my son just, by chance, was in town for a business meeting tomorrow. He had been to Nicholsons before and suggested we go. As a fan of Guinness, we definitely started out with a draft. With an appetizer of Scottish eggs and some bangers and mash, it became a memorable night. Almost felt like we were in downtown Dublin.

Great pub near Chinatown and West End. We stopped in before a show. Rosie and Nadine were fantastic bartenders. Our family loved the beef pie and fish and chips. Highly recommend!
I've been here a couple times now and love this place! Want to return often and that's how good it is! Came here on a weekend and it wasn't very busy at all but I can imagine it gets pretty busy during game times. Had some great food including the Scotch egg appetizers, fish and chips, chicken schnitzel, the breadboard, Shepherd's gastro burger, and the horse and barrel sliders through all of my visits here. Every one of them has been amazing! Literally just great. The breadboard was a lot of fun and everything else just tasted so good. Definitely top-notch food here! Came here once before a show at the Aronoff Center across the street and it was pretty darn busy. They take reservations though so keep that in mind. It's pretty loud as well but the food is just so good and the service is always been great. Ambiance is big and classic pub-looking and just overall fun! We've had Imran as our waiter and he took care of his great. Everyone else who served us just took care of us great. This is a great place that is trying to uphold it's great reputation and I'm proud to continue patronizing them!

Service is excellent. Atmosphere was great. KY Hot Brown was excellent. Water with lemon is delicious. Sat at the bar due to no reservation. The waitress was kind, and professional. Thank you for a great meal.Parking: Not sure about parking. Parked in a parking garage.Wheelchair accessibility: If, I remember correctly there are no steps. You may want to call and ask.
