50 Best Pubs near Norwood

“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.“

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

“Needed to hydrate with a few pints after walking from Newport up the Mt. Adams stairs, this place punched the ticket for the only Dive bar in Mt. Adams!! Bob takes the lead in my 2026 Bartender of the year award. Chill place in time aged Mt. Adams!!“

“MOTR continues to be one of the best places to see both local and touring acts in Cincinnati. OTR is a special place, so having MOTR in the center of it - as the center of it - is really awesome and something I appreciate. Also, who doesn't love super crispy tater tots?“

“Take out order for 3. French dip, not as described, bun not toasted tasted old and the ajus was onion soup, so thick you couldn't dip your sandwich in it. All our fries soggy cold half cooked. You couldn't pay me to go back there. Big disappointment after reading reviews.“

“My wife and I stopped by Zola Pub & Grill last Saturday—Derby Day—for a bite to eat. It wasn't crowded, just a few regulars at the bar, making it a nice, quiet spot to enjoy good food and good company. We started with the Cajun Cheese Fries (ordered without jalapeños or green onions and sour cream on the side), and they were delightful—served hot and fresh. Unlike some places, the cajun seasoning actually covered the fries rather than just being sprinkled on top, and the cheese was melted to perfection. We also split 10 medium wings which were hot and hit the mark, and my wife, who is a big fan of Caesar salads, absolutely loved theirs. To wash it all down, I stuck with Mich Ultras while my wife had the Country Boy Ciders; they were running a special that night for $3 a can, which made for a very reasonable bill. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional, and since the bartender mentioned they are known for their burgers, we’ll definitely be heading back to give those a try. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food and fair prices, this is a solid bet.“

“I love this place 🥰. Sammy is the best bartender, always trying new drinks.“

“The food and service was great!“

“Friendly neighborhood pub. Not sure if they serve food. Only saw popcorn. Drink prices reasonable, pours were generous. D.J. was soinnin' some great music. He did an 80's block that took me back to the ridin the rails skatin days. Thumbs High. ?“

“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, great people, music darts and pool!“

“Recently had a 30th birthday at Molly’s. They were super easy to book with, no outrageous room hire costs! They were very accommodating and we had a great night“

“Have ended many a night here over the span of many years, this place may not have the trendiest drinks nor the hippest crowds, but it has real people happily working and patronizing. A real gem, old Cov as it gets! Beautiful back bar, perhaps the most gorgeous in all of Kenton Co. Serves 7oz Little Kings, that says it all. Don't change a damn thing! Okay, maybe the name...“

“Absolutely the best burger you can get. This place is a historic gem and an icon of Cincinnati“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“Best dive bar around the madville mariemont area.“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

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

“we set our food truck up here for a bday party,everyone was great and supper nice,great little pub,“

“Nice neighborhood bar serving good drinks and pub style food. The food menu is limited somewhat but the taste and quality was very good. Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

“Within minutes of ordering, I received a call. Our presence was required elsewhere. Our server (Tracy, I believe) and the chef took superb care of us! Our meals were carefully boxed up and we were sent on our way. The food, consumed later, at home, was delicious. And I will never forget the kindness and efficiency of the staff. Thank you, Nicholson's!“

“Friendly, neighborly atmosphere. Service was excellent! Best burger you will have“

“This place is now amazing! New Owners! Incredible food... I've had the burgers, the wings, salads and giant pretzel... and the Cajun pasta! There are only winners on this menu! Great beer selection! Clean! Finally this joint is doing justice to Benson!“

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

“One of my favorite places to eatOne of my favorite places to eat and hang out! 🍀
We had the best time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day here with a great group of friends. The energy was fantastic — everyone was in green, the decorations were fun, and the pub was packed but still felt welcoming.

The food did not disappoint! We ordered the juicy burger with all the fixings (perfectly cooked and loaded with fresh toppings), a big basket of crispy wings in a delicious sauce, and the chicken sandwich with coleslaw that was fresh and flavorful. Fries were hot and seasoned just right. Everything came out fast and tasted homemade.
The service was friendly and attentive, even on a busy holiday. No wait for a table, which was a huge plus.

Whether you're coming for trivia night, a casual meal, or a lively celebration, Cloverleaf Pub delivers every time. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back soon, hangout“

“Great place since my father grew up in Reading !!!!“

“was recommended by another DJ fir karaoke 🎤 singing“

“I am admittedly not easily impressed, but my son and I had a great experience all around tonight for a quick bite. From the greeting when we walked in, our server Matthew and the food everything was spot on. Tables were being cleaned as people left, the bartenders were wiping down the station, the food came out hot and cooked properly, the employees having a genuine smile. I can honestly say that it was a better experience than I have had at some of the most high end expensive restaurants in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work! Thank you we will definitely be back.“

“we found our phone! we thought we had lost it there but found it at home.“

“Great beer, great food, great staff, great location. There isn’t another place like this around, it is a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. I am a regular here and have been for years.

The Good - Great food, great beer, great bar, the staff are sweet hearts.

The Bad - None

This place is exceptional, its all you could ask for in a Pub, what more is there to say.“

“Even having arrived mid afternoon on a weekday, one can see this would be a fun place on a summer weekend evening. Burgers, the short rib grilled cheese (sold out at the time), and the Greek spaghetti were recommended.

I ordered the spaghetti. I can see the appeal: bacon, green bell peppers and onions, and olives tossed in butter+olive oil and topped with parmesan. It was underseasoned, but still hearty (and nothing some salt and pepper couldn't help). Maddie, the server/hostess was lovely and engaging, attentive and helpful. What a fun place to visit, if you appreciate how difficult it must be to be in business since 1861.

Ample parking is available in the lot just across the street.“

“The food was amazing the staff was wonderful . Definitely will be back“

“Great tacos and wonderful staff!! 🌮“

“Juut the place to relax & have fun“

“Great service with friendly staff. Darts and more darts........“

“The atmosphere inside is like no other. The Greenwich is a hidden gem in Cincinnati. Jazz, Blues, Big Band, Recitals, Orchestra, Spoken Word, Funk, R&B and Pure Love! Great place to work. My coworkers are awesome. So is my Boss. I have to say The Artists are my absolute favorite. I love each and everyone of them. Art lives and breathes in the Greenwich and I feel special to be part of such a special place. The drinks are cheap, the private live events I work have changed my life. The guests are something special too. Some have become life long friends. I would recommend you be a part of history because this place is actually historical.“

“We loved our food at APG! The wait staff was awesome and there was no wait!! Can't wait to go again!“

“One of the staff thought it'd be 'funny' to try and steal my purse. I was watching the band play and he tried to take my purse from me. He only stopped pulling on my purse when my friend and I yelled at him. He tried to play it off as a joke. I didnt get his name. We left after the incident. This place is not safe for women when staff are behaving like this.“

“A quiet and welcoming little nook nestled amongst all the glitter of nearby franchises it offers a simple and inexpensive menu. We were greeted quickly upon arrival and offered our choice of seating. Bartenders and waitstaff introduced themselves and genuinely inquired about how your day has been. If you’ve been here before they remembered you. Dinning was relaxed and easygoing, no rush to order or pressure to upsell you. Food arrived quickly presented simply but attractively. Prices are reasonable and much lower than surrounding venues. Thanks for a really good experience Ian. Anytime I’m in Cincinnati I’ll be coming back.“

“I plan events all over the Cincy area and I have to say this staff is phenomenal. Easy to work with, always professional with a “we will make it work” attitude.“
