50 Best Bars near Norwood

“One of the best bars in Norwood. Sara, Amy, and the rest of the bartenders are amazing.“

“Tanner and Blake were really great! Very welcoming!!! I got the Ube Hawaiian. It gave the end of cereal, & a fall like taste. I really enjoyed it. The environment here is nice. The seating is really cute. I would highly recommend coming here.“

“My only complaint would be to press the burger do the size of the bun, they are just a hair too tall for a comfortable bite. The flavor is great and its cooked perfect every time. The other food on the menu always looks good but the burgers are outstanding.“

“I tried this place for lunch today. The Bert Burger (I held the bacon) was simply perfection. The huge portion of fries was seasoned wonderfully and the best fries I have had in forever!“

“Shareable menu items that are tasty and unique…smelt fries and duck fat fried potatoes. Delicious. Great service and oh yeah - Longfellow charm all the way.“

“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!“

“it's the bourbon slushies for me!“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“This is 9ne of my favorite little taverns. Its small but has a great atmosphere. Its has indoor and outdoor seating. I love sitting on the porch. The food is always amazing. I usually get the sliders with the side salad and it never disappoints. I've tried a bunch of other things and never once been disappointed. We had some wings today and they were some of the best I've had in a while. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't.“

“Really cool bar tucked in one of my favorite spots in Cincy. The crowd was definitely college kids, which we are well past. Outside patio is a treat, but inside in the winter is just as cool. Drink menu is basic. I wouldn’t go the if your looking for craft cocktails.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful!! Their patio area just amazing!“

“So excited to find this place! The food was incredible, safe for those with Celiacs, portions huge, and staff was so kind and welcoming! we will be back soon! 🛸🍗“

“We chose The Post as our wedding reception space and I’m so glad we did. We had a small wedding, roughly 100 people, and it was an awesome party! The event coordinator, Tiffany Hicks, was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. She was so accommodating, thoughtful, and very focused on our experience. We were able to customize our food menu to accommodate some dietary restrictions in our family, which was so appreciated. Everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule. Food was wonderful, plenty of drink options for guests, and having the patio space out front was so nice for our guests! We had an unforgettable night and we cannot thank The Post staff, and Tiffany and Jim, enough for their hard work making our day not only stress free, but very special. I’d recommend them for an event every time!!!“

“Been on my OTR to go list for too long. Finally made it and high expectations were exceeded. My type of bar. No BS. Authentic. Great spot.“

“With over a thousand different kinds of whisky (~700 being bourbon alone), this is a very good place for an after work drink. Great atmosphere , first bourbon bar in the area so lots of history, and comparable prices. I had the sample flights from Aaron and Liv, both offered an excellent sampling (although I liked Aaron's better - sorry Liv). What even made it more comfortable was the lady knitting at the bar, just like being back at my American Legion Post. Loved it. I will be back!“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

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

“Went to Paddys a week ago and had an awesome Bartender. Molly took real good care of me. I highly recommend checking the place out and getting a drink from her because she knows what's up.“

“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.“

“Outstanding venue & service!“

“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!!!“

“They have what you need and give you what you want.“

“It’s been 10 years since I’ve been to Wiseguy’s, and I’m so happy to report the “The Godfather” remains the best old fashioned that I have ever had. Need a solid slice of pizza, it’s just downstairs! :)

Appreciate every employee that’s made this place successful. To the owner, take care of your folks they are amazing! When locals take care of locals everyone wins. McKaila, thank you for the best of times.“

“wonderful and inviting bar with great people! Music is amazing and the owner is top notch!!!“

“Wiseguys Lounge in Pleasant Ridge is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you get a great neighborhood-lounge atmosphere that feels welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. The vibe is fantastic, making it an ideal spot to kick back, enjoy some good food and drinks, and spend time with friends.

The staff is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and there’s a great energy throughout the place. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual night out, meeting up with friends, or just looking for a fun local spot to unwind, Wiseguys delivers.

Pleasant Ridge is lucky to have a place like this. Great atmosphere, great service, and a genuinely fun experience—I’d definitely recommend Wiseguys Lounge and will happily be back!“

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“Nice neighborhood-style bar. Family operated, with very friendly staff. They had 11 draft beers on tap, on our first visit, with a great selection of spirits. The proprietor greeted us at the door and introduced us to his son and daughter, who bartended. Expect solid pours, and a fun, chill, friendly vibe. It's the kind of place where you stop by for one drink and stay until close.“

“Always a great time and a great place to hang 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.“

“Great staff, great drinks, great atmosphere. Come on a weekday for a chill lounge feel, or come on a weekend for a packed bar. Whatever you’re looking for, you can find it here. Also, best Espresso Martini in the metro area, by a long shot.“

“I love coming here! The matcha is very good and they always have some rotating flavors that are fun. There is a nice private outdoor area and lots of cozy spots inside. Perfect place to work, and everyone is very nice. I really appreciate the hours they are open since I like to come after work and they are one of the only coffee shops open later in the area. :)“

“Nice people! Coldest Beer In Town!“

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

“Fun atmosphere! Very friendly patrons!“

“This was a pretty cool vibe. If you like a little dark and intimate, then this is going to be a pretty cool fit for you. You'll find parking somewhere in downtown on the street or whatever the case may be and you'll hop in. There are a couple of different sides to the establishment:
- A bar that has seating when you come in is fine to sit at
- The side where you will get the lounge action so that's where your seats and lounge couches are set up

I hear that they do live music at some point in time or another so that's going to be pretty cool at some point. I didn't actually see that when I was there but at the same time they did have music playing and it was actually pretty dope.

The bartending staff was pretty cool. I only went for one drink just to give it a go. I got an Irish espresso martini and it didn't have the things that I asked for but they were comparable. The menu itself is very intricate and they can explain it a lot better. I was going for the tried and true.

Either way it goes I thought it was a pretty cool experience and it's a thing that you could do for a date night or something like that I guess.“

“The overall atmosphere and the staff was wonderful“

“Great vibes and food we will be back.“

“cheers here. good food here“

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