50 Best Bars near Madeira

“Superb service as well as quality of food. Ive been here a handful of times and have always been seated in less than 10 minutes when super busy. They've changed their menus after covid but in my oppinion the food has only gotten better since. If youre looking for the best Hispanic food in cincy at a major chain then you can never go wrong with chuys“

“Damon provides great service and it is a relaxed atmosphere.“

“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.“

“A neighborhood gem! Loved the place! Good selection of beers, wine and hard liquor. Check kitchen hours, if you are planning to eat. Great bar food! Family friendly. A kid’s area with toys and things for them to do. Check their website for events.“

“The Gas Light Cafe is your go-to spot when you find yourself in Cincinnati. This local watering hole is not just a place to grab a drink; it's a community-centric hub where the walls are a mosaic of memories, each photo a testament to the family's journey and the countless hearts they've touched along the way. The double cheeseburger with fries and cold draft beer is my favorite but you can't go wrong with their daily specials. It's the perfect casual spot to watch sports year round, where you can cheer on your favorite team (Go Bengals!) in good company.“

“We came here for dinner one mid-week evening before taking a stroll through Summit Park. You can definitely show up dressed comfortably/casually, but they have pretty decent ambiance, suitable for some weekend fun. We weren't super intrigued by the menu; it was a little less extensive than I'd hope from a place like this, mostly heavier options, and maybe not a ton of things I'd order next time. For me, the mussels far exceeded my expectations. That broth was heavenly, the bread was soft and perfect for soaking up the great flavors, the mussels themselves were very abundant, and had okay freshness. My lady said her burger was mediocre. She tried both the truffle fries and duck fat fries and was disappointed by both. I've never seen her not eat fries before, so that says a lot! Service was good overall. I'd come back for those mussels any day, but not quite as excited to dig deeper into the menu. I wouldn't deter anybody from giving them a try, especially if out enjoying the park on a nice day.“

“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!!!“

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

“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“

“This is an amazing concert venue. The church setting adds a mystical atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Had a great time. Bbq chicken pizza was great. Husband had po'boy daughter had Ramen bowl. Everything was great however when the music started it was so loud you couldn't talk at your table. we were sitting half was through but was still very loud. Will definitely be back“

“Celebrating our 15th anniversary at The Blind Lemon. Few of our date nights there! My partner Joel
Mellon has been there in 1984! When we met in 2003 we came here often! Our favorite drink is the Grand Mariner warm! The solo guitarist voice was amazing! The magical part of the night was as we were about to leave she sang our song! Norah Jones ‘ come Away With Me’
It was perfect! The night ended well!’
?❤️?“

“This is a great neighborhood bar everybody makes you feel welcome. The food is good comfort type food proportions are good prices are reasonable. The coolest thing about this location is the music they bring in some great musicians. It's a small venue which sometimes makes it hard to watch the musicians but you can hear fine from anywhere in the bar. We visit the location frequently.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“What a wonderful group of staff! We had a blast playing Music Bingo and the food was delicious. We definitely recommend visiting this beautiful establishment. Many kind thanks! We’ll see y’all again soon. 🥰“

“We don't really drink much... but the little we did was very good as was the service. Our main thing was looking for a decent place to play a cpl games of pool from time to time. Their pool tables are very nice. The employees that we've met this far have also been very nice. It's overall a nice place. And by far one of the best Bloody Mary's we've had.
They don't serve food, but sometimes I guess ppl bring stuff in to set up for patrons to share... which is pretty cool.
We just really liked it. ?“

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

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

“Great vibes and food we will be back.“

“We went to 927 Reserve last night for the first time. it is a great local bourbon bar. Our bartender, Mel, was amazing! She makes a great old fashioned, I am looking forward to going back when there is live music. My only regret is that we haven't been there sooner.“

“Great atmosphere with excellent music and wonderful people“

“Great family atmosphere. I was shocked. I was not expecting a friendly experience and incredible service. This might be my new standard. And eye candy was everywhere(yes, my wife came with me that night! Haha!). Toilets need to be expanded.“

“excellent food and service 👌“

“Has become one of our favorite stops“

“Gorgeous hotel and friendly staff. Super clean and beds are comfortable. Rooms have small touches that are awesome (lighted magnified mirror in the bathroom for doing makeup is amazing!).“

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

“Nice very relaxing 😌 We had a great time .“

“Has a bit of a Road House feel. Nice place. Had a bit of a hard time watching the game due to the TVs having to be so low (low ceiling) that the bartender was always standing in front of the TV and I couldn't see. Not her fault ... The other TVs are higher but far away from where I was sitting.“

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

“Dana g can’t be me !! 💯🙌🏻❤️“

“The wings are excellent. The service excellent. The atmosphere is great,. I have one complaint the beer is not real cold . If you don't drink it quickly you will be drinking warm beer. I got a garden salad and it was room temperature. Might just be me but I like the lettuce , tomatoes etc cold or at least cool.“

“Fun atmosphere! Very friendly patrons!“

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

“I'm not a drinker BUT I do love good food, and you will definitely find it here. I especially recommend the delicious wings and nachos! I love that they support community groups as well.“

“On a recent trip to Cincy with my teenage daughter, I suggested we go to Jungle Jim's. She was less than enthusiastic... until we got there. 😁 A grocery store has no right to be this fun! I honestly wish we'd had time to visit the other location, too. Pictures don't don't paint an adequate picture, but we snapped a few when we weren't running around giggling and yelling, "Come look at this" to each other. 😂 So much cool food but so much crazy STUFF! If you haven't been, this is a legit grocery store and the prices are pretty competitive. But this isn't somewhere you go for a quick shopping trip, especially with kids.“

“We always have the best experience at this wonderful, friendly bar. Love the fabulous food especially the wings. Service is phenomenal, nice hometown atmosphere and ice cold beer!“

“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.“

“The World Glass team is incredible! They helped curate the perfect night for a bar crawl I co-hosted. Amber was our point person, and I could not be more grateful for her guidance and excellent communication! Not only did she assist us in the planning process, she collaborated with us to create a bespoke bar crawl shot, even allowing us to name it and showcase it on their outdoor sign! Such a thoughtful touch. Upon arrival, Nae made fabulous drinks, effortlessly tending to our large group's needs. Exemplary customer service all around. I highly recommend getting in touch with Amber and the World Glass team for your next event!“

“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.“

“The food is from a Taco truck outside the restaurant. There are benches outside our you can eat inside. The bowling is the beat....so fun with the antique machine. It is really good!

Vegetarian options: All vegetable burrito, quesadilla and taco.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps“

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

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“Delicious and gluten free! Huge portions! The staff was very friendly! Definitely recommend 😊“

“There were four of us that came to listen to our friends play music on a Friday night. The hostesses couldn't have been more lovely explaining the wait, then getting us in for our table through the crowded bar area. Our server, Lilly, was friendly and on the ball throughout our dinner.

For the table we order fish and chips, buffalo chicken sandwich, and the creole pasta. The fish had an great batter and the fries were also good. The creole pasta was very creamy and comforting, and the chicken sandwich was overcooked so the breading had a yucky taste and the chicken was very dry. However, they pour a mean drink, which I appreciate.

This place is a solid restaurant with a fun atmosphere. In the summer it's even better with the decks and patios.“

“Bottoms up! Wishing you well!“
