“Had a great time here last Thursday evening. Robert the bartender was the reason we enjoyed our night so much. He was friendly, welcoming and very funny. It’s a nice casual spot in Mt Adams to watch a game or just hang out with Robert!! We tried to return on Saturday night but it was so packed we couldn’t get in. Thanks for the great service, Robert. Hope to see you during our next visit.“

“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?“

“Truly a wonderful experience. I have been here before and it was awesome. Brought my boyfriend to try it. His grandma is from England. He grew up with all these dishes. Loves to cook them. The environment & great food brought back many good memories of her. Thank you for that!!! Our server was genuine, efficient & friendly. Yummy food. I had your Fish- wow! The best!!! Thank you!!! ❤️.“

“The food and service was great!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place, great people, music darts and pool!“

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

“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. ?“

“Dingle House has a tremendous Irish Pub we found in Westchester. The first we noticed is that it was a very visually appealing restaurant with a cool looking structure and great decor. We started off with an appetizer of Jack Cheese Sticks served with marinara sauce. It was a different cheese stick than any I've ever had as it was almost eggroll shaped with the cheese on the top. In any case the jack cheese was fantastic and fried to perfection. For my main course I got an Irish staple that being the Fish And Chips. The fish was a fantastic haddock that was crispy and delicious served with a super tartar sauce. The chips (American fries) were fantastic as well especially dipped into the tartar sauce. Simply a delicious meal in every way. The wait staff was great as well and all appropriately dressed for an Irish Pub. This was tremendous in every way and I can't wait to come back.“

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

“Exceptional service, food, and atmosphere! Very friendly staff and amazing beers! 10/10 recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Outstanding crew here does all they can to assure you enjoy your visit. Great drinks, excellent beer selection, and a marvelous menu“

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

“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 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.“

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

“Great food!! I had the walleye on Monday and the ribs tonight, and both were fantastic. This is clearly a place where the locals go, but they’re also very welcoming to visitors. Don’t try to change the vibe — just go with it, enjoy yourself, and you’ll have an awesome time. Great spot!“

“The epitome of the friendly neighborhood bar. My husband and I just started dropping in occasionally and everytime we are welcomed warmly by staff and patrons alike. Food is above average, drinks are great and the atmosphere is warm. My kind of place.“

“Had a 4pm reservation. Luckily we found a parking spot on the street but if you can't find one there is a parking lot right across the street ($20.00). When we walked in it definitely felt like a bar. Bar area was full and lively when we walked thru. Hostess checked us in and sat us in the covered/enclosed patio area right away. Sarah, our waitress, came over right away and introduced herself. We knew right away she'd take care of us. Ordered our drinks and waited for the rest of the group. As soon as they arrived Sarah brought the drinks, right on queue. We had a couple of Old Fashioneds (Four Roses and Angels Envy). Both were very good. They were on the stronger side, close to straight buorbon (we like ours with a little more simple syrup). We passed on appetizers and headed straight to the food. Ordered the Last Don with fries, the parblano paper jam, bacon and monterey was an excellent combination on this burger.. Fries were seasoned and crispy. Next up was the Short Rib Grilled Cheese and fries. Unfortunately I forgot to ask Sarah to hold the pickled red onion and had to trade mine for The Last Don. My hubby was a sport about it and he ate the Short Rib GC and he said it was very good. Last was the Truffle Brie Chicken with mushroom risotto, truffle brie sauce and asparagus. This dish was the highlight of the meal. Excellent all around with the perfect amount of truffle. The only small issue we had was when the food came out the burger and grilled cheese plates and fries were cold. However, the Truffle Brie Chicken dish was still hot. We didn't have an issue eating the cold food because we figured the pasta dish was what held up our other plates and it was beyond delicious.. Other than the cold food, everything else was top notch. We were not there when they had live music (intentionally, we had my 86yo mom with us) but we could tell it could probably getting a little loud in tye patio area when there is live music, which wouldnt bother us at all. We enjoyed visiting the oldest tavern in Cincinnati. This has kicked off our A to Z journey and glad we chose Arnold's as our first stop.“

“So fun. ! I love it here.“

“Good environment and good people! We came here while visiting our family and the food, environment and service were great! I would recommend this place to any one living in the area or visiting! And thank you to the manager on duty, she graciously paid for our meal! It was greatly appreciated!!! It goes to show that there are good people still out there!“

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

“A girlfriend and I came here during St. Patrick's Day weekend for a ladies weekend.

I must say, the ambiance and character is of the up most importance, and Max, with her having a very optimistic personality and easily keeping your spirit in a great mindset is nothing but worth the experience, along with Rob letting you know exactly where you should go depending on your personal preference, he will help lead you to a destination you're looking for, dependent upon your preference. Great experience, to say the least.“

“Every Tuesday my coworkers and I come to hanks because Chris and Josh just know how to take care of their people. The laughs we have with them make it worth it every time. Couldn’t come here and have a blast like we do without them. Wouldn’t want to frequent this pub knowing they weren’t there. Thankful for Josh and Chris’ service. They are our favorite!“

“Juut the place to relax & have fun“

“Best bar in Covington and northern KY.“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fab little bar that is not that little, it turns out. Terrace at the back. Two bars, set up in shotgun formation (long and narrow).

Friendly staff. Good selection of draft beers and other drinks (including hard seltzers and ciders).

Parking was a bit tricky, but I eventually found something (paid) on the street.“

“5 out of 5!!!me and my friends doing the bourbon trail came all the way from North Carolina up to visit. Awesome wings, awesome staff, and most importantly awesome sports on the tv’s. Definitely will be going back. Thanks for doing Carolina proud with yalls Carolina gold bbq sauce.“

“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.“

“Ordered a Large Flying Pig added Pineapple and Jalapeno, it was absolutely delicious 🤤🤤 not too much/little of sauce, a lot of toppings cooked to perfection!! We did pickup drove the 20 minutes back to our hotel and it was still nice & hot 🔥🔥 will definitely be eating here again when we're back in town“

“The food was delicious! The menu offers a great variety and generous portions. I will definitely be returning.“
