We stayed one night at Metropolitan and wanted to eat at Centro; however, they flat refused to walk-in as we didn't make a reservation. So we went to Ledger Bar. This is a tiny place and the food was from Centro. As they were busy, it took a long time to get our food but the bartender was nice. We ordered CRISPY POLENTA CUBES (liked), SPICY PAN SEARED SHRIMP (huge shrimp and good), CLASSIC CAESAR (okay) and MARGHERITA pizza (boring).

The Ledger Bar is a small (I mean small) bar situated on the balcony that overlooks the Metropolitan at the 9's Hotel Lobby. Since the Metropolitan is home to an apartment complex, an upscale hotel, a rooftop bar, a dog park, a Pilates studio, a theater, a basement vault bar, and a "high-end" eatery, there's a whole lot of people constantly coming and going. Sitting at the four (five?) two-person tables situated right at the balcony railing means you can easily lean over and watch people come and go while sipping your drinks. Unlike the rest of the bars in the hotel, I was told there was no drink menu at the Ledger, and the bartender (who waited my table!) simply asked what flavor profile I was desiring tonight. The resulting drink he made was honestly good, and I really enjoyed it. Zero idea what was in it to ever order it again (and he was really overworked to ask!), but it was a neat experience of a "craft your own experience". There were a few beers on tap. I'm unsure about wine. Centro's food menu (restaurant downstairs) appears to be available here. There's a single unisex bathroom within steps of the bar, and the regular hotel lobby bathrooms are down a floor. As conference rooms are nearby this bar, I'd also probably guess there's a large conference room bathroom block too, but I didn't find that one. The rest of the bars and restaurants in the Metropolitan tend to take most of the attention here, and the Ledger has a much more laid-back, chill vibe. A lot of people were watching a sports game (baseball, I think?) on the TV behind me. With the smaller space and wide "open" area of the full lobby, the Ledger feels like your calmest, quietest bar option out of the available places at the Metropolitan.

Stopped here for a beverage after the Bengals-Browns game. Marris was a great bartender who made fantastic cocktails. Absolutely love hotel bars. You should definitely stop by this one.Also wanted to give a special thanks to Erica DeMastes, Food and Beverage Director, who deftly and promptly resolved an issue.5/5 recommend

Stopped in for appetizers and dessert. The appetizers were good, but the cheesecake was grainy. The restaurant was beautiful, and we did not feel rushed even though we were there near closing
THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE!!!! The drinks are great, the staff is super friendly. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you to Catherine, Gerard, and Ashley!!!!

Came in late. 12:30 am. Solo bartender, did not catch his name. Sat at a 2 top over the lobby. There was a group of 7 or 8 people at the bar. My wife ordered a espresso martini.( Hell yeah. ) The bartender left the bar to get fresh espresso. ( Awesome) during his 8 minute absence. One of the women from the 7 person group went behind the bar and continued to act like an entitled, spoiled j***** The nicest way I could describe her.) Continued to act and say she did nothing wrong. I got confrontational with the group said what should have been said. And left.Thank you to the bartender.

Accidentally left a review of Eden instead of Ledger. Oops. Anyhow. Apologizes. Ledger was amazing. Bartender is a pro and a very nice guy. Lots of local knowledge and amazing drinks. Go there. Don't go to Eden. They suck. Go to Ledger bar.
