15 Best Cocktail Bars near Hamilton

“such a nice shop and owner! Had a flat on my ebike, it was fixed in less than one day and very reasonable I thought! I tried to do myself but it was too complicated since it was the back wheel where all the main workings were. Highly recommend! Thank you for your prompt service!“

“It’s unlikely you’re going to find a better cocktail anywhere in the greater Cincinnati area. The menu has all of the staples but also a wonderful selection of interesting drinks that are created in house. If you’re adventurous, Cody or James can definitely whip you up something you’re going to enjoy if you just give them a general direction. Now that you can get the full menu at the bar it might be our new favorite place to dine. Carmagnola, the accompanying restaurant next door is wonderful but the atmosphere and service at the bar is top notch.

Thanks for taking the time to make us all of the different off menu cocktails with your house made chartreuse.“

“good vibes here , bartenders attentive, drinks taste good would recommend for anybody looking for a nice place to hang out and have a good time .“

“I would highly recommend the Chefs Table at Carmagnola. For us it was a six course dining experience unlike any we had ever had. Seated in a private dining area that is positioned right in front of executive chef Jackson Rouse and culinary staff we were provided a detailed description of every course including how the dish was prepared, the inspiration for the dish and where ingredients were sourced. Some local and some from other parts of the world. It was treat for the senses. It was surprisingly healthy menu with nothing fried, smothered or processed. 100% fresh ingredients including in house made pasta, micro greens snipped fresh from the table top garden in the kitchen and fresh meats and seafood. Of all the courses, the wood grilled rabbit cacciatore Trenne in vodka sauce with fennel, green olive and leek was the best followed closely by the Sumac Seared Hokkaido Scallop in a confit fennel puree surrounded by green chickpeas and Lemon Argumato and the house made vanilla gelato with cocoa nibs and mugilio (a syrup made from pine cones sourced in the Swiss alps). My husband and daughter opted to do the wine pairing which they throughly enjoyed. My son and I got separate drinks, he a Limecello and me a Cranberry Mule mocktail. We each had sips of each other’s drinks - all was amazing. Overall an unbelievable fine dining experience.“

“omg Saturday had the Philly cheese steak quesadilla and tonight had the wings which I've loved for yrs“

“Always a good time! Ross the manager stopped by our table to check on us. My server was great and the food never disappoints.“

“Excellent 1st experience with Jess as our server. Our family was celebrating 3 birthdays and we wanted for nothing. Jess suggested dishes that mesmerized the children with amazing presentations! Food was to die for. Thank you, Jess, for making our first experience perfect. We will be back!“

“Excellent experience overall! Drinks, food, atmosphere, and service were top notch. My recommendation is the Steak Aguachile, it is life changing!! The Shrimp version is always my favorite and I decided to try something new. Highly recommend!“

“On Monday, June 3rd. The Middletown’s Police Chief along with others from the FOPA held a friendly competition. They had nominated 9 local restaurants in our “Best Burger in Middletown” showdown. Middletown’s own “Swire Inn” took home the WIN!!! They had entered the Swire Inn Burger. Harmonizing with goodness & singing to our souls. This burger was inviting & tantalizing. With a mouth-watering juicy look that stole the show. Cooked to perfection and topped with freshness by Chef Jason Kauffman. We want to thank The Swire Inn and all of our nominees for their continued support to our community and Middletown’s Police Department.“
