50 Best Bars near Norwood

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

“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“

“Gordo's is a true Gem. Everything on the menu is the best version of what can be produced. The Chef/Proprietor is a renowned chef who has studied under some of the best in the world. Each burger and each appetizer reflects a quality that sets this place apart from any other burger place. Give it a try and it will become your new favorite place.“

“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!“

“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.“

“over 200 different gins. good tapas. live music.“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“Awesome place to check out some very rare, vintage spirits.“

“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!!!“

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

“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 speakeasy experience. Sam was our bartender and he was fantastic—super knowledgeable about the craft and gave some excellent drink suggestions. You can tell he really knows his stuff and enjoys what he does. The atmosphere was perfect and the drinks were outstanding. Would absolutely come back the next time I’m in town.“

“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.“

“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.“

“super nice people with a great atmosphere“

“Nice place to smoke, pass the time and just socialize“

“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“

“Went out for drinks last night not expecting much, just a typical sports bar, but was surprised at the upscale quality of the drinks. Our bartender Darren was great and super talented- he made us a variety of stuff from on and off menu and even gave us drink recommendations based on what he thought we’d like after asking us about our preferences. There is a legitimate cocktail bar program hiding in here!“

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

“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.“

“We hosted my son's 40th birthday at The Post on December 27. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. We did an afternoon event with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Our guests were encouraged to bring their small children because there's an amazing play area . The Post prepared the appetizers and presented them in an attractive manner. Everything was delicious.
Marshall is an amazing chef. Jason, the event planner, was on top of everything and extremely helpful. It was perfect. I highly recommend visiting The Post for a drink and a bite, or hosting an event there.“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“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!“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“Popped in after dinner downtown last night and Prim certainly delivered! I have been gushing about the ambiance and aesthetic since we walked in to anyone who will listen. I literally cannot wait until my next visit because the vibe matches my energy perfectly. This place is such a breath of fresh air, not to mention how pretty it smells inside. The decor is to DIE for - literally bury me at Prim when I die. Love, a new regular for sure.“

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

“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.“

“Great friendly atmosphere“

“Have hosted 2 of my daughter Birthday Parties here It’s so fun and we always have a great time! Love the variety of activities it’s great for all ages! Check it out and have fun! S/O to Frank kind, professional. personable, and patient. Keep up the great work 🫡🙏🏾🫶🏾🎉🎮💪🏾😁“

“Bartender/owner showed my friends and I a great time to start off our night! Streetside parking on the edge of campus. Environment felt very safe and welcoming. I absolutely will come back here and drag more friends. Drinks came out to a great price for any broke college students (about 5-8$/drink.)“

“I came in for warmth today after my car broke down a block over and I had to wait for a jump. I told the barista, Tate, why I was upset and he showed me immense kindness. He let me put on a tv show I like and offered to help me jump my car. Coffee was delicious too. I’m so grateful for his kindness. Thank you Tate!“

“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“

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

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

“Our drinks were amazing the bar manager was so helpful and great atmosphere can’t wait to go again“

“I really like this spot! I am just now getting into bourbon after a long time of not being a bourbon drinker, so I had never made the effort to check this place out, but I wish I had much earlier! While they have a wide bourbon selection, of course, they do have other drinks, and cocktails, too. The cocktails are phenomenal and unique!

The people are great and the vibe is very accepting and welcoming. The bartender was so kind and attentive. It is a quaint but beautifully kept place, and I really enjoyed my afternoon there! The happy hour deals were nice, too!“
