Wiseguy Lounge - Pleasant Ridge

We love it here. The mixologists are always friendly and knowledgeable and create the best cocktails! We didn't eat this time.

What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).

Excellent bartenders, half price pizza and drink specials on Mondays.

Very inviting bar staff. Walked in and was immediately greeted. The drinks were great 10/10

Always great cocktails made with skill.

One of my regular spots and also one of my favorite places in town. It's always nice to know I can come in here and grab some really good pizza and then come upstairs for great cocktails. The peanut butter tequila is weirdly good and they do a chocolate martini with it that is absolutely amazing.

Wise Guys Lounge and Goodfellas Pizzaria
Our recent trip to Cincinnati was solely dedicated to experiencing the allure of Wise Guys Lounge and Goodfellas Pizzaria, and let me tell you, it was a decision we wholeheartedly made.

Wise Guys Lounge:
Arriving later in the evening, we bypassed the delectable pizza offerings downstairs and ascended the intriguing staircase to the hidden bar upstairs. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with leather sofas and ample bar seating. The beautiful patio, reminiscent of New Orleans, offered a delightful outdoor option.
Our knowledgeable server expertly guided us through the impressive bourbon selection, which was reasonably priced. Though we couldn't purchase their barrel selects due to Ohio's liquor laws, the server kindly suggested their Kentucky location for a future visit.

Goodfellas Pizzaria:
Intrigued by the recommendation, we ventured to the Kentucky location the following day. The charming, old-timey street setting added to the experience. The Pizzaria itself was modest, but the pizza was anything but. The massive slices, reminiscent of classic New York style, were absolutely divine. We opted for a traditional pepperoni and a more adventurous slice, both of which were incredibly flavorful.
The upstairs Wise Guys Lounge in Kentucky was equally impressive. The cozy bar, with its sofa seating and spacious bar area, provided a perfect setting to enjoy cocktails and bourbon. The friendly bartender was knowledgeable and helpful, and we couldn't resist purchasing three of their barrel selects.

Overall Impression
Both locations of Wise Guys Lounge and Goodfellas Pizzaria exceeded our expectations. The combination of delicious food, excellent drinks, and friendly staff created a memorable experience. We highly recommend these establishments to anyone visiting Cincinnati or the surrounding areas.

Had the best time at Wise Guys last night - it was the perfect meet up spot for our group (8-10 people), pizza was great and our bartender Cat was so lovely and made some amazing cocktails. So lucky to have this place in the Ridge.

A great warm inviting speakeasy lounge industrial hybrid of a bar right above Goodfellas pizza shop. Grab a slice of pizza and a giant breadstick from below and head upstairs where they have incredible craft cocktails for reasonable prices in a very relaxed and inviting atmosphere with seating anywhere from couches to a classy bar to regular tables that can be pushed together to accommodate larger groups and an outdoor space! The bartenders are always extremely kind, knowledgeable, and great at crafting serious drinks of any sort. We love coming here for low key quality drinks and a quiet warm atmosphere with a touch of leather and wood and class to the air!

Stellar cocktails and top notch service! Our bartender was knowledgeable and helpful guiding us to cocktails our entire party would enjoy. We ordered a pizza to accompany our drinks and it exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Cincinnati!
