50 Best Bars near Madeira

“Visited this weekend and we were very happy with our server/bartender Hunter! He was on top of things, handled our substitutions easily, and pleasant to talk to. Food was pretty decent, the tortilla on the burrito was weirdly hard or overcooked on the edges which made it hard to cut. But overall a good experience and fun casual atmosphere!“

“WOW....first night in Blue Ash, Cincinnati...found this little gem of a bar, great atmosphere. Todd and Josh, me feel really welcome, even though my Scouse accent was difficult to follow 🤣 And the IPA, is beautiful! Differently visit it again!!!“

“100% satisfaction 100% of the time. I have eaten and drank here many times over many years and I have never had a bad experience with the food, the drink, or the customer service. This place is the epitome of a beloved local bar & grill.“

“I stop by a lounge in every city I visit. When I walked in I was greated, a lil chat and I was shown the humidor. I ordered my drink and paid. I thought this is a good place to be empty. I struck my match and they guy calmly said OH rules don't allow smoking. He showed me to the patio, I find the crowd watching the game. Now I get it. Great place had a food truck which was good. I even chatted with the guy on my way out. I'm not one for convo but he was inviting. If it's near pull up and relax!“

“I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about my first experience here. The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was relaxing and the cigar selection was great. Will definitely be visiting again especially once the weather turns.“

“All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. What an awesome and unique venue to see my favorite music played live! I drove from Indianapolis just to see a show, and not a single complaint or regret. How it should always be done. These folks get it. If your band plays out, this is where you want to see them.“

“I've eaten at The Post many times, both with my family and with friends. The food is always great and the menu has something for everyone! My kids love the play area and the atmosphere is great for our family. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. I especially enjoy feeling like I can relax and enjoy myself in a space that feels super comfortable. Highly recommend as a great spot to support local, have a drink, and enjoy a good bite to eat!“

“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).“

“Great neighborhood bar. Great bartenders, fantastic beer selection, but if you’re looking for food, you’re in the wrong place go across the street or next-door to Mo Chico or Tequila.. This is my favorite neighborhood. Hang out. Parking on the street or across the street in the Paige lot, or behind building on free parking deck.“

“Great place! Kim and Peter make everyone feel welcome.“

“Great vibes and food we will be back.“

“Went here to actually get photos for a college project, a jazz themed session, the staff were so welcoming and understanding! This tavern is so cozy and unique. I love this hidden little gem! Would return here as a customer due to how polite the staff were.“

“Ok, just got home. Truth review. I had a twistin and shakin time!! The band was Memphis Rhythm Review and they brought it! It. Was. Broughten y'all!! Props to Brian for bringing them in! Find the band, follow them, and the bar, for good music and dancing. Thanks again for a fun night!“

“Place just went under new management and I attended a soft opening. The vibe is right. The new owner and service are phenomenal. There's a food truck, outdoor patio, and good tunes. This will be my new favorite spot from now on.“

“Always a great time and a great place to hang out!“

“Great friendly atmosphere“

“Benefit fun and pub crawl “Be like Katy” afternoon“

“I stumbled into this place with some work colleagues when we were working in the area. When we walked in the door, I had no idea what kind of food they served. The menu wasn’t particularly large, but it had some really interesting choices. I’m not a big hot dog person, but there was a broad selection of very unique hot dogs. I ended up choosing the Elote grilled cheese, and we also got some duck fries for the table to share. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the grilled cheese sandwich, but it was outstanding! The fries and dipping sauce were also really good!“

“😍Just love the Edge Inn Tavern! Been going there since I could sit on my daddy's lap in 1959!“

“Inviting atmosphere with great coffee and even better service.

I Stumbled upon this cafe on google and learned that it is one of the few coffee shops that are open late into the evening. As soon as i walked in, i noticed that the pillows in top of the seating rows and the great cozy atmosphere that allows people to work while minding their business which is the perfect mix for a coffee spot!

They have a downstairs too and both floors have a patio area which I will try once the weather gets warmer. The downstairs is a more quiet environment but the main floor is filled with vibes and background conversations so it offers both ambiances that a cafe often calls for.

The selection of wine has depth which makes it a good spot to hangout even after the coffee hours are gone.

As a latino, i loved seeing the empanadas on their menu which is a great snack or meal and goes well with coffee.

I ordered the usual, dark toast drip coffee, yet again and the flavor was a bit on the robust side with a hint of bitterness but delicious nonetheless. I had more than three refills of it and was more awake than a meth head at 3 pm in the afternoon!

The barista was so sweet and was more than happy to take care of my refills every time i stepped up to the bar!

Will come back to try their empanadas.“

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

“Great place !! But …. well ., I’m trying to date Betty 😐🤣🥰✅“

“Great atmosphere with excellent music and wonderful people“

“Super cool outta the way spot. I’ve driven by it a 100 times and finally got to go in and absolutely felt comfortable immediately. Prices were more than reasonable and hands down the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in a hot minute. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful and the people who went there were absolutely friendly, and I had the best time I’ve had in a long time.“

“the rooftop restaurant! Probably had the best seat in the city to view Great American Ballpark and the riverfront, not to mention an awesome view of downtown. Atmosphere is more like 10-star. Then when it came to our waitress, Abby. 1000% off the charts incredible service. Again, a 10-Star rating. We will be back!“

“such a nice place the owners are wonderful and very welcoming very clean inside and out watched the Bengals game there for Monday night football had a blast we will definitely be back!“

“We finally made it to David’s Kitchen & Bar (home of what has to be the city’s largest pretzel!) and it certainly lived up to its reputation! We had the fish and chips, chicken tenders and steak tips. Loved it all. And David was incredibly kind and gracious. 💗🪄In an amazing coincidence, the woman we saw earlier today as Glinda (in the Children’s Theatre production of Wizard of Oz) is a David’s employee. She wasn’t there tonight, but when the manager (her aunt!) heard we saw the show she came over to our table and had Hayley Facetime my girls! It made their night. 🥰 Thank you for a wonderful experience and delicious food. We can’t wait to return!“

“I have known "Big John" from when I worked with him at Fed EX. He is a great guy, Great owner, and will take care of you. If you're looking for a Nice hole in the wall joint with great prices, this is Definitely the place to go!- Shane K.“

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“I love love love this hometown bar! The Arnzen family & staff treat everyone like family. It’s literally like Cheers. They know your face and remember what’s going on in your life each time ya come in. I’m a Loveland native myself so I love the small town vibes.“

“I’m no stranger to dive bars—I've made a habit of seeking them out like some people collect vinyl. But on this particular night, I didn’t stumble into one by choice.

The car broke down on I-75, leaving me stranded with a dead phone, a finicky bank, and a AAA estimate that might as well have been a suggestion to take up knitting. Three hours for a tow? I wasn't built for that kind of existential waiting.

I did the most practical thing that a woman in a stupid dress and painful, platform shoes could do: I hiked through abandoned service roads that stretch like ghostly veins off the highway—and found myself at the New Stumble Inn.

If you’re on a quest for artisanal cocktails or a curated list of craft beers, this isn't your haven. But if you're in desperate need of a cold beer and the kind of comfort that only comes from worn bar stools and neon signs that hum like they might give up any second, well then, take that high heeled exit off the abandoned service road, my friend.

The night played out like some kind of fever dream. My phone battery was circling the drain, my bank decided that I was a top tier mafioso worthy of card freezing, and I was left with the very real possibility of being stranded in every sense of the word. The New Stumble Inn didn’t let me panic. In this dive bar, surrounded by strangers who felt like family, I was safe.

A bar patron —someone I’d never met—offered to let me CashApp her to cover my tab. The bartender threw a Post-It my way for last-minute Uber details, promising I wouldn't “just be walking home." And I did get home safe and sound.

The next time that I go to the New Stumble Inn, it will be on purpose and not via an abandoned service route.
Because it really is a shame that I discovered this place under these circumstances. Establishments like this transform patrons into a community, creating unexpected belonging. This isn't just a bar; it's a sanctuary for the stranded. It is a go-to for those needing a cold drink and a warm welcome, no matter how they stumbled in.“

“Dana g can’t be me !! 💯🙌🏻❤️“

“I take back my rating they called last call I brought our dirty glasses to bar & everyone started yelling. The bartender was awesome but come blonde headed troll wanted to fight me when I said we were waiting on an Uber then another guy came out ready to fight me. Will NEVER come back they“

“927 Reserve on Monmouth Street in Newport is a true gem, offering an unparalleled experience that elevated our men’s club spring gathering to extraordinary heights. From the moment we stepped into this sophisticated venue, we were enveloped by its refined ambiance and impeccable attention to detail. The bar’s curated selection of top-shelf liquors is nothing short of exceptional, showcasing a range that caters to the most discerning palates. Each handmade cocktail and mixer was a masterful creation, bursting with flavor and crafted with evident care, delighting every guest. The thoughtfully designed space further enhanced our evening. The outdoor patio provided a perfect haven for our cigar enthusiasts, offering a comfortable and stylish setting to savor their smokes under the open sky. Meanwhile, the main bar area, with its relaxed atmosphere and large screen playing music videos, kept the rest of us entertained and immersed in the festive mood. The seamless blend of these distinct spaces allowed our group to tailor the experience to our preferences while remaining connected as a party. 927 Reserve is more than a venue—it’s a destination that exudes elegance and delivers unforgettable moments. Our event was a resounding success, thanks to the establishment’s outstanding offerings and warm hospitality. We left with memories to cherish and a unanimous desire to return. Highly recommended for any occasion that calls for sophistication and celebration.“

“Great local brewery to grab a cold beer! They have friendly staff and wonderful owners“

“I love that they played half of Wizkids album! Had me up 💃 dancing. Nice place and good strong drinks.😊“

“my boyfriend and I came in here and the dj was playing absolute bangers. We had a great experience with bartenders, they were attentive and also funny as hell. I loved how the managers came to check on us. This place was an all around amazing establishment 🤍“

“Great place! Kim and Peter make everyone feel welcome.“

“Everything was amazing! The poutine was rich and perfectly cheesy, the gumbo had that deep, soulful flavor you only get when someone really knows what they’re doing, and the wings? Absolute perfection—crispy, saucy, and addictive. Can’t wait to come back and order it all again!“

“Fun atmosphere! Very friendly patrons!“

“Owner is very nice! Great little dive bar with good drink specials“

“Very relaxed atmosphere people are laid back, great place to enjoy music and conversation. Not a place for getting wild a place to enjoy relax an have a drink with friends the people that come here average around 50 years old . Come relax and enjoy! There is a pizza parlor next door if you get hungry and you can bring it in.“

“Favorite bar in the valley area. The bartenders at Wolf's are always so welcoming and the diversity of the crowd not only provides an interesting dynamic but proves that with commonality lives comradery. I love this bar. Bonus- it's always clean there from the outside smoking area to the gaming area, throughout the bar and especially the bathrooms.... kudos to Rodney, the owner and to all of the staff for providing such an atmosphere.“

“Best drinks and Vibe in the city👍🏽“

“First time visiting Logo's n tried the Homerun Nachos. I think they might be the "goodest"! 😋 And great friendly service too!“

“For me, this place is all about setting expectations. I wanted something close to me where my son could play pool. This is a no frills neighborhood divebar. Food is largely snacks, bags of chips, pretzels, etc. I don't think there were any taps, but they did have liquor if you wanted. The perk, which is what makes this place shine, is the prices, 3 basic beers and a bag of chips was ~$12. The staff were friendly and the place was relatively quiet. There was karakoe, darts, and a pool table, plus an outdoor space. It was well worth the trip, but don't expect anything fancy.“

“Wiedemann’s Fine Beer on tap! Can’t beat that.“

“The bartender Carole is the best!!“

“Bottoms up! Wishing you well!“

“The overall atmosphere and the staff was wonderful“
