50 Best Pubs in Cincinnati

“Ordered at the bar, given a buzzer, and easily found a seat. Bar-keeps were all very friendly and helpful.

Pleasantly surprised that they actually serve full-size thick burgers. Gonna skip the Chipotle mayo nxt time bcz I dont like spicy but it was still delicious.. Fries had good flavor, crispy with soft centers.

Help staff was indeed friendly, helpful, and kept tables clear. Even the patrons were actively supporting the live band and wasnt bothered to make way for people passing through the crowd. It was a full crowd but not crowded.“

“A Cincinnati staple! Friendly service, affordable prices, and lots of history! Whether you are enjoying a beer after running the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot, need a place to warm up on a snowy day, or asking your future Father and Mother in law for their daughter’s hand in marriage, this is the place to do it all!“

“I love this place 🥰. Sammy is the best bartender, always trying new drinks.“

“Truly a wonderful experience. I have been here before and it was awesome. Brought my boyfriend to try it. His grandma is from England. He grew up with all these dishes. Loves to cook them. The environment & great food brought back many good memories of her. Thank you for that!!! Our server was genuine, efficient & friendly. Yummy food. I had your Fish- wow! The best!!! Thank you!!! ❤️.“

“Popped in on Saturday night to see our friends in That One Party Band!! First time there and we had a blast!“

“So I’ve never been to Parkland Theatre, wanted to see Twisters and all the theaters around were full so came across their site and decided to give it a try. We had the whole place to ourselves! Ed the owner was great! Showed the boys a bunch of Reds memorabilia from his bat boy days. We had a few drinks and boys played darts while we waited for the movie. We got 4 movie tickets, a large pizza, bucket of popcorn, 2 sodas, pretzal with cheese, and an order of chicken nuggets. It was only $65! Cinemark would have been $54 just to see the movie. We definitely will be back! We don’t do movies often, but it is nice to see a movie on the big screen and not need a loan to do so and to support a small local business is a plus! Highly recommend!!“

“Highly recommend! Great service, great food and even better drinks! Atmosphere is chill and the staff is always friendly. Love this place and will continue to visit. Simply the best place in Delhi!!“

“Bartender made my night very cool girl. Was Monday karaoke night and was older folks singing very old songs but it ended when I arrived which for me was good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great no issues“

“The atmosphere is great and the fish and chips is off the hook!“

“Great place, great people, music darts and pool!“

“Friendly neighborhood pub. Not sure if they serve food. Only saw popcorn. Drink prices reasonable, pours were generous. D.J. was soinnin' some great music. He did an 80's block that took me back to the ridin the rails skatin days. Thumbs High. ?“

“Excellent place to gather with friends for cold beers and drinks, darts, pool, keno/sports betting, or golden tee golf. Food is very good from Pizza, Burgers, Wings and much more! The staff and regulars are welcoming. The Juke box is always available and bands play throughout the week.“

“I didn't order food from here but the drinks were great, friendly bartender and all around a comfortable place to have a drink and chill after a long day. Has plenty of seating, music playing and a couple pool tables if you want to play. There is also some kind of lottery machine so you can play the lottery. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about this establishment.“

“My grandson and I enjoyed another lovely meal at Nicholson's. Our favorite item on the menu is the delicious salmon. And we always start with sharing a wonderful Scotch egg. Thanks again for a lovely Broadway Series pre-show dining experience.“

“Excellent service. Incredible beer selection of local and non local variety. Staff is kind and courteous. Multiple tvs with games on that they'll change for viewers. Can order food to the establishment. Owner is passionate about beer so you know that they'll always have good beers on tap. Host multiple events a week that are fun and inviting“

“Crows Nest is a west side staple. I last minute showed up with 25 people for a birthday - they had wonderful food and great staff that accommodated a crowd in a professional manner and were extremely kind. Highly recommend this place for their food and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“This place is cool! It's basically your local neighborhood bar with an awesome bartender! Stop in and see Kiki! They also have a great music selection with a pool table. The interior could be updated but that doesn't bother me one bit. This was our 1st time coming to this establishment and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back!“

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

“A quiet and welcoming little nook nestled amongst all the glitter of nearby franchises it offers a simple and inexpensive menu. We were greeted quickly upon arrival and offered our choice of seating. Bartenders and waitstaff introduced themselves and genuinely inquired about how your day has been. If you’ve been here before they remembered you. Dinning was relaxed and easygoing, no rush to order or pressure to upsell you. Food arrived quickly presented simply but attractively. Prices are reasonable and much lower than surrounding venues. Thanks for a really good experience Ian. Anytime I’m in Cincinnati I’ll be coming back.“

“It was really busy for a Tuesday. Our food was excellent. Our waiter was good. Two comments to make: our poor waiter was stretched thin. Only 2 people were working to take orders. Second, the one good thing about the pandemic was the space between tables. Not any more. My husband and I got to listen to the conversations on both sides of us. Getting in and out was a struggle not to knock into our neighboring tables.“

“Hospitality amazing the environment, amazing and all the coworkers just amazing. I even had a conversation with the owner, even more amazing and then the food, Man, I Swear I could’ve slap somebody mama how good this food is, but I’m not smacking nobody I’m sharing it today ??? I love you guys. Thanks..“

“Friendly, neighborly atmosphere. Service was excellent! Best burger you will have“

“Fun atmosphere! Very friendly patrons!“

“Great atmosphere with excellent music and wonderful people“

“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“

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“I really like this place. The drinks are cheap, bartenders are friendly, and Pac Man for a quarter. Usually pretty laid back during the week, but can get lively on weekends. Nothing flashy or hip, just a little neighborhood hole in the wall done just right.“

“amazing people feelings like home great bartenders the owners are loving people ❤️💜“

“I've been here for years and although it still looks the same, the food is still delicious. This laid back, corner bar and grill is just what you want during the week when you want a burger and beer. Love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing. They did add some outdoor bar, which is awesome!“

“Hanks... Hanks is Hanks, solid bartenders. Pool table is bang up as well. I wouldnt mess with the bartenders cause they can handle their own business but don't think they don't have a plethora of regulars that will have their back, cause they're just that good and hospitable to their customers. Walk in and you feel like a regular. Love it and will be back again and referring to friends to watch the game at.

Parking: If not in the front go around back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah just roll on in.“

“I plan events all over the Cincy area and I have to say this staff is phenomenal. Easy to work with, always professional with a “we will make it work” attitude.“

“Good environment and good people! We came here while visiting our family and the food, environment and service were great! I would recommend this place to any one living in the area or visiting! And thank you to the manager on duty, she graciously paid for our meal! It was greatly appreciated!!! It goes to show that there are good people still out there!“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere.“

“Juut the place to relax & have fun“

“Best wings on the West Side. Change that. Best wings in all of Cincinnati. Love all the Wild Mike’s locations. Have not been to this one in years. The new expansion at this one is great. The new bar is a great addition“

“This is a classic, cozy place to listen to the many fantastic jazz musicians from Cincinnati and beyond. The décor looks decades-old, probably nothing spent on the place in ages, but that's part of what makes it so comfortable. I felt like suddenly I'm in a little club in NYC or Chicago when I came in. The neighborhood is dicey but I parked on nearby Curtis Street, which is a short walk around the corner.“

“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!“

“An amazing place with amazing people“

“Crowd always enjoyable - be yourself and bring your friends…always laughs and cheerful staff. They want to be the best in Cincinnati, and definitely, Blue Ash Macs cares & they are always happy to see you return.

Hosts always greet you, and help the teams - providing awesome service. After I eat, the plate is cleaned from the table - I don’t see that everywhere.

Everyone - thank you, and see you again next week.“

“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!“

“the food is very good. service is good too. the food took a longer than would have wanted but worth the wait“
