“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.“

“super nice people with a great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Outstanding venue & service!“

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

“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!“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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).“

“Was staying at a nearby Airbnb and ended up stopping into Ludlow Tavern—honestly such a solid find.

We just went in for a couple drinks and ended up staying for dinner too. The drinks were on point, bartender was super chill, and the whole place just had a really easygoing vibe. Nothing felt forced or over the top, just a good spot to hang out.

If you’re in the area or staying nearby, it’s a great spot to pop into for a drink (or a few) and some good food.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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” 😊“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is absolutely INSANE!!! Never thought I could spend 5+ hours in one store, with 3 kids along with me, and not get bored and ready to leave. We will 100% be back!“

“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.“

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

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

“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. :)“

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

“BEST PLACE EVER! Truly no other place like Flora & Flair! I started going to this just a year ago and have never turned back to go anywhere else but here. The events are not only fun but of high quality, bringing in great people and vibes. The atmosphere is both cozy and riveting, a good mix of welcoming but electrifying. The staff is awesome, the team behind this place are nothing short of wonderful. They hold events like never seen before, honestly coming here can feel like a once in a lifetime opportunity! Never want the night to end whenever I'm here, love it love it!“

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

“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.“

“The best place to watch footy in Cincinnati.“

“Had a great time at The Well in Covington. Really appreciated the staff keeping the kitchen open for me—went above and beyond. The bar service was excellent, especially from Brittany. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Vibe was exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely be back.“

“Great place !! But …. well ., I’m trying to date Betty 😐🤣🥰✅“

“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 .“

“I just loved the hotel and its ambiance!“
