50 Best Bars near Norwood

“Bottoms up! Wishing you well!“

“We were looking for a nice cocktail bar to go to in Norwood before our friends bowling birthday party at Stones lanes, and found this place in the factory 52 complex. We had specifically said we didn’t want to go to that factory 52 place but we didn’t know where park ave was and it happened to be there so we just went in. The entire food hall area was packed on a Saturday night, and Hoyle’s was also full but we found 2 seats and got served right away. The cocktails were good and they had an interesting menu, would def recommend and would go back - honestly changed my mind about the factory 52 complex“

“Had the Jean Robert and it was pretty good. I would have preferred a little less Bleu and a little more goat cheese. The Bleu was a little too forward on the taste, but still real good. The fried jalapeños were amazing. It's four whole stuffed-with-cheese-and-cream-cheese jalapeños.
The mac and cheese was fantastic with a little added salt and pepper.
Don't remember what my sister got but it was also amazing.
One of my favorite spots.“

“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!“

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“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 stopped in when I was visiting from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Cameron, one of the bartenders, knew his stuff, was great for conversation, really helped me sort through the private barrel selections, and helped me have a very interesting and excellent time there! He helped me settle in on a bottle that was truly unique and fantastic. Cameron and Carl were both amazing! Definitely someplace I would stop back every time I’m back in town which is pretty much annually. Thank you, wise guys as the name fits both in terms of the tradition back with the mafia and the wisdom offered by the folks that worked there. Super grateful!

Not to mention the pizza downstairs, it was pretty damn fantastic!“

“Whenever in a town for the first time, we look for an Irish pub. We’re very happy to have found Paddy’s. We had the bar/bartender to our selves for a short while. Discussed Irish whiskeys, history of the bar and more. Had a great time but had to move on. The Casey’s from Michigan.“

“We went midday with no one in here and it was great. The prices for the drinks are much better than what I pay at home. The bartender could have been more sociable but she was preparing for the rush hour I assume. There is plenty of seating and the heat on the outdoor patio works very well.
Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“Great bar to grab a drink. Friendly staff, clean and great vibe“

“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 always wanted to visit this place as in general l love driving through Ludlow as the neighborhood has a very rustic charm! So we decided to stop by for a couple of drinks on a Monday evening, we were amazed to find the bar was packed with regulars hanging out at the bar and the place had a very welcoming vibe! Mikey the bartender was friendly and fun to talk to and made great recommendations! Everyday of the week they have some specials, Monday night it was Modelo & Margaritas at $4, the sliders were great and so were the fries! There were a couple of owners with their dogs and apparently the dogs love visiting the bar for bacon(pet owners make a note). Absolutely fell in love with this tavern, it’s the perfect blend of fun, casual, cozy and has a great vibe!“

“Favorite bar in the city. Food specials are amazing every time and their cocktails are delicious. Bartenders feel like old friends“

“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!“

“Was in town for the week on business. We all had a blast!!“

“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.“

“Nice food, low key, laid back ambiance. Good service. Cov-gem!“

“Great vibes and food we will be back.“

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

“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.“

“I am only going to rate this 4 out of 5 stars because it entirely depends on the type of bar that you're looking for. If you are looking for a bar that is made up of people at the ages of 40 plus then this is your bar, pairing with the fact that it is kind of a dive makes it a great choice to get a cheap drink. There is some good atmosphere in banter among the people that visit this establishment.I will say The only reason I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars is because I have been given grief for being 30 years old and visiting this bar, like come on people.“

“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!“

“Fantastic Bar thanks in no small part to the Bartenders ! Faith is a Rockstar and we always appreciate how nice, helpful and pleasant she is. She and the rest of the crew mix up great drinks, provide good vibes, and otherwise make the Bar a fantastic place to enjoy a drink! Highly recommend!“

“Loved this place! Great atmosphere, music and cocktails ♥️“

“This establishment is top notch in every way! I recommend the “Kyle” and the “Yolanda Mai Tai” 😊“

“Super friendly neighborhood sports bar that plays WNBA games on their delightful patio. Couldn’t ask for more.“

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“The History is amazing this place is the oldest in Colerain Twp over 100years 1879 the lake was dug out by hand and horses Jessie Bevis first owners then he built a cabin to sell bait and refreshments! in the 1900s it was remolded into a Bar and grill,1950 upgrades“

“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“

“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!“

“Stopped in for beers while visiting Second Sunday on Main after seeing 4 hot guys in a row go inside lol. Very fun and friendly neighborhood bar. Kyle the bartender is awesome! Although I live in Hyde Park I’ll definitely be upping my OTR game and visiting again“

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

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

“This is kind of a dive bourbon bar but definitely worth stopping in. Taylor the bartender was absolutely fantastic. They climbed a ladder to get a bottle that we wanted a pour of. We got a flight and the store pick of Russell’s was out of this world but unfortunately not for sale. The restroom was clean. Our only complaint was the bar and the menus were really sticky. Like so sticky that we washed our hands in the fountain outside when we left. However, definitely worth a visit if you’re a bourbon drinker because they have over 500 bottles.“

“This place was so much fun and Tiffany was a fantastic host!!! Thank you for making us feel welcome and super comfortable!!!“

“Good tap selection. Hundreds of canned and bottled beers to choose from.“
