“It was a bit uncomfortable when we walked into the wine bar. They seem surprised that we had a reservation..overall the service was uncomfortably good. The food was good but I thought that the wine selection should have been elaborated a little more since it was a wine bar overall it was a decent restaurant week meal .“

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

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

“Joey is by FAR the most educated server I have had at a restaurant as of late! Though he knew he was sharing disappointing news, he was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and cross-contamination. It’s extremely refreshing to have someone explain why I can’t have something without me even asking anything past “do you have the gluten free bread right now?” Joey even helped me craft a makeshift meal out of options that were available. The ONLY reason this review is not 5 stars? They sometimes run out of what I CAN have :(“

“Fun atmosphere with a great selection of beer!“

“Tommie’s Place is fantastic. The bartenders are extremely talented, the decor is on point and the DRINKS ARE DELICIOUS!“

“This place is amazing!! Great atmosphere, absolutely fantastic bartenders and very affordable drinks. I stayed in the Airbnb above the bar for Blink 2024 and could not have had more fun after the festival hanging out at this bar!! Could not recommend this place more. 5 Stars 10/10“

“Wonderful spot! Our bartender, Cat, is an absolute delight! One interaction with her and you can tell she’s an all around fantastic person. The other bartenders were lovely too, very helpful and kind. Lots of room to move around and not feel crowded, and the basketball and golf games were a big hit!“

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

“Food and service were incredible. Talked to the chef for a bit, and he was nice and informative. He told me all the ingredients are local. Bar service was nice as well. Live music was really good too! Kraut dog was so good. Sliders were incredible. Great fries, great Mac n cheese“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

“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!’

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This is hands down my favorite bar in the city, with the best bartenders around! The cocktails are consistently exceptional, but it’s the sense of community that truly sets this place apart. Wiseguys was one of the first places I visited after moving here from out of state, and Harrison was one of the first friendly faces I met. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and making amazing drinks, he also offered great local tips and made me feel genuinely welcomed both at the bar and in Cincinnati. He really went (and goes) above and beyond! Big shout out to Ellie, Brandon, and Stephen as well – sitting at Wiseguys and enjoying a couple of Sunkissed Sweethearts or espresso martinis with this crew is always a blast!“

“Had a magical late summer evening at Wiseguy Lounge with friends. Expert bartender Chris kept the amazing cocktails flowing and we enjoyed them on the cool and comfortable upstairs patio with a great pizza from Goodfellas. Love the mix of top notch drinks paired with always satisfying pizza.“

“What they've done with this spot, is incredible. Total change up from my childhood memories. Very nice bar to pop in and visit now, glad I'm able to. Astra red cream soda is a good choice on the bar, and chicken club wrap is a 10 out of 10. Staff is super friendly and quick, sounds like family owned and run. Stop in and support this place if your passing thru Ludlow.“

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

“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.“

“Best bar (and food) in town! Best bartenders and patio is super cute.
The atmosphere is cozy and nice and the service is fast. Their garden sliders and the wings are top tier! I recommend it over any bar in Ludlow, any day of the week.“

“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“

“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.“

“My favorite new neighborhood bar! Very reasonably priced beer and mixed drinks. Warm cozy feel and a spacious outdoor patio. Karaoke on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Plenty of parking. They have some appetizers that are very good for a small bites menu. Mitch, Elizabeth and April are all great friendly bartenders always up for conversation. They have a ample televisions and will honor your request to put on whatever games are happening currently. Stop in! Right near the CSX train trestle on Pike Street.

Vegetarian options: They offer air fried chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, potato wedges etc

Parking: Plenty of street parking for free meters are turned off at that time I usually arrive. Parking lot across the street as well.“

“Holy cow! I am hesitant to post this because if too many people find out about this place then no one could get in. The service was amazing!!! The food was fu$&ing incredible! I had a mid rare burger add bacon, shrooms, and mayo. When the waitress came back around I actually said it was fu$&ing amazing. Incredible onion rings andmozzarella sticks as well. For a party of four with two appetizers and two Red Claws it was $91 with tip. Go here, have a burger! Demand the onion rings!!!“

“Great bar for local live music every night (especially the blues), including open mic Tuesdays. Almost all shows are free (generous tips much appreciated).

There's a rich history and great story about the bar and building it's in. Lots of cool photos of musicians plus Marilyn Monroe and other classic era celebrities).

The bar was full of friendly music lovers and bartender Kyle was awesome - made me feel right at home.

They have a patio and you can get food too. It's also a short walk from Newport on the Levee.“

“Had a great time for our Company Leadership Day! Good for groups of under 20.“

“In town for our anniversary. Randomly looked up options for cocktails and lunch. Reserved a spot via Open Table and they did not disappoint. The deviled eggs are amazing. The Dirty French burger and Neck Bone Gravy were out of this world. Service was top notch. We will be back!“

“So this is not the original 16 bit bar ( level one bar and arcade is the actual place if ypu looking for the original one ) this place is called pins mechanical ( bowling and bar arcade that's totally different ) . If you are looking for the OG 16 bit it's on Walnut .“

“Nice people! Coldest Beer In Town!“

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

“So happy to have this fantastic cocktail bar in our neighborhood. The cocktail and wine selection is wonderful and the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is dark and moody and lends itself well to the curated music and extensive vinyl collection. My only critique is the overpowering fragrance of the bar. You can get whiffs from down the street and I can’t help but taste it in my drink and water. Dial that fragrance back and it’s a 10 out of 10!!!“

“Great bluegrass band playing on Friday. Service was a little slow but acceptable. Food was great and cocktails were great. Had a 1664 beforehand and it was sour like lines hadn't been cleaned for an off brand beer that might be reasonable“

“The best craft beers, quesadillas, homemade salsa's, and burritos around. not to mention the coolest atmosphere. LOVE The Comet!!!“

“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“

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

“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.“
