37 Best Cocktail Bars near Springdale

“Saturday is marketed as R&Brunch (nice play on words). A DJ is there playing R&B music. The DJ doesn’t talk or hype the audience, she just provides R&B not piped in from a prerecorded “mixtape” CD. The music creates a groove/atmosphere that I enjoy. It’s a grown folk feel. Though it would appeal to a nice range—college students and your parents would also enjoy. I was happy with my meal. It was really good! I enjoyed my dining experience. To be clear, I am one who can be NOT satisfied with ALL the little things and chock it up to an awful experience to which I would not return. I believe the cuisine is very well done. It’s not just mass-produced soul food or comfort food that no longer has the passion and love from the chef’s vision. I’ve experienced similar restaurants in other bigger cities and this is something Cincinnati just does NOT have enough of. I am excited the chef is investing in the restaurant and I cheer her and its success.“

“such a nice shop and owner! Had a flat on my ebike, it was fixed in less than one day and very reasonable I thought! I tried to do myself but it was too complicated since it was the back wheel where all the main workings were. Highly recommend! Thank you for your prompt service!“

“Tillie’s Lounge is one of our favorite establishments in the city! This bar manages to strike a balance that most can’t... it’s polished and well-decorated enough to avoid the “dive bar” label, yet still feels relaxed, homey, and completely unpretentious.

Drink prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere invites you to settle in and stay awhile. The bartenders are incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to Randy, Vince and Luna for consistently providing excellent service! The establishment is always clean, and the restroom upkeep is especially commendable, considering how tough it can be to maintain single-stall facilities in a busy bar environment.

Tillie’s hosts a variety of fun, themed events that showcase diverse and talented performers. We especially love their brunches and open stage nights—they’re always lively, inclusive, and full of great energy.

There’s a true sense of community and camaraderie among the regulars, yet newcomers are always made to feel welcome. The crowd is friendly but never overbearing, which adds to the overall charm.

Tillie’s is truly a hidden gem. As much as we’d love to keep it to ourselves, it only seems fair to share it with the rest of the city. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re certainly missing out. Stop by and support this lovely little establishment!“

“This place is incredible. I’m so very glad that Hamilton has something this nice and fancy. The city deserves to have food this good. The bread is made in house, it’s wonderful. The drinks are so good. Service was excellent and they care a lot. Wonderful place. Go and try it.“

“When I arrived the very first time, everyone was nice. Smiles and hi's. I introduced myself and the guy I spoke with was very nice and found out we liked had a lot in common. Found out later he was the owner. U may think he did that for business, but he was genuine. The place is always open, and I made a lot of friends there. I want to move back here just to visit as much as possible. Sincerely, Larry Straub“

“The best service ever!
Sebastián was hands down the best server we’ve ever had, super friendly, attentive, and made our visit unforgettable. The food was absolutely delicious! My partner ordered a burger and it was incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked. I got the Taco Alderman bowl, flavorful and fresh, every bite was amazing. The dessert was spectacular and the margaritas… next level!

And a huge shout-out to Felipe, the manager, who was absolutely wonderful, so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.“

“Decor and vibe were on point. Bartenders were nice and the drinks were great. I would visit again.“

“good food nice area“

“We just had to share a huge thank you to Quarter Bistro for making our son’s night so special! Our 17-year-old son took his girlfriend there for homecoming dinner on Saturday. We had told him to make sure he was ready — check prices, reservations, have enough to tip, the whole parent talk. He chose Quarter Bistro because it’s a place they always drive past, and it felt special to them even though they’d never been. He came home absolutely glowing! He said the food was amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect — even if, in his words, it was “all older people” 😂. The best part? The manager came out, told them how much he loved seeing young couples there, and took care of their bill. That kindness meant the world to him — and to us as parents. Thank you so much to the staff and management for such a thoughtful gesture. It made their night unforgettable. ❤️ We’ll definitely be visiting soon ourselves!“

“Delicious food, kind people, quick service, and everything is gluten free! We each tried an arepa and shared an empanada. We got both plantain chips and sweet plantains. We had to try a bit of everything for our first time. It was all delicious!“

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

“One of my favorite places to relax!!! Beautiful ambiance, amazing cocktails, fun staff and clientele. A true hidden gem. HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“Excellent hand crafted cocktails made by highly skilled and friendly Bartenders. The smoked carrot hummus was devine!“

“Had a great time at King Corona this weekend! The atmosphere is beautifully decorated and vibes were high, even for lunch time. Our group indulged in the dip flight, margarita flight, pizza birria, bottomless mimosas, the king corona burrito and lots of fries. All of our food was served hot and delicious, plus we came away with heavy leftover boxes. Our server was also very attentive, especially with how fast the group was downing the bottomless mimosas. 10/10 would recommend to all for a fun time, day or night!“

“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).“

“My aunt had her retirement party here and rented out the whole place. The drinks were amazing and the appetizers served were PHENOMENAL, I couldn’t believe it was brewery food. I definitely recommend renting out for events! Great environment too.“

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

“Rhys and Alan made my whole night! I have an allergy, and they made my pizza from scratch at a later hour than I’m comfortable admitting, but they made me feel so welcome. Highly recommend an establishment that makes someone feel as important as this.“

“Great place for music, coffee, and vegetarian bites!“

“Absolutely loved the food and the atmosphere! Jess our server was AMAZING! We will definitely be coming back to see her!“

“The overall atmosphere and the staff was wonderful“

“Fresh baked Italian bread, fresh herbs infused in every dish. Creative updates on Italian classics! Chocolate tart and espresso to end a divine meal!“

“Great place to hang out with friends and have a great time.“

“Great place if you like EDM, awesome dance floor, good drinks, and comfy seating when you need a break. This is my Go-To place in Cincinnati. I immediately feel at home when I walk in the door. Do yourself a favor and come out and dance with us!“

“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“

“Nice neighborhood-style bar. Family operated, with very friendly staff. They had 11 draft beers on tap, on our first visit, with a great selection of spirits. The proprietor greeted us at the door and introduced us to his son and daughter, who bartended. Expect solid pours, and a fun, chill, friendly vibe. It's the kind of place where you stop by for one drink and stay until close.“

“Great food and great staff! I love the atmosphere. Definitely check them out. You can also catch FCC games there.“

“Basil has been a goto of mine for YEARS. If you are ever unsure on the menu, order the Pad Thai and #yourewelcome“

“As someone born and raised in the south, I'm always a tiny bit nervous about Cajun style food this far north. But I was not disappointed at all. Ordered the fried catfish po-bowl and it was so good. The cornbread breading was so crispy and flavorful. And the homemade tartar sauce, wow.“

“Masala Chai and Lamb Korma is delicious“

“Great Food, Drinks, and Yolo Entertainment...“

“My wife and I had a great time. Fun, clean friendly atmosphere to let loose and have a great time time while listening to great music“

“Best Poutine...I would like extra cheese sauce!!! Numurous variety of mock cocktails...You screwed with Charlie Trotters' Chocolate Banana Bread...I would like the return of my malt ice cream!!! What in God's name are you thinking? Would you be willing to do Banana Foster's...Table side???“

“I’m an avid crème brûlée lover. I had already eaten dinner at Potbelly across the way. Amy greeted me when I walked in. I was ONLY there for crème brûlée. She and I agreed sitting in to eat it is way better than to-go, and I’m so glad I did! It was one of the best crème brûlées I’ve had for sure!

Amy is lovely and great at her job! Very nice :) will definitely be back for both the crème brûlée and the stellar service!“

“Hannah did a great job of serving us. Would highly recommend her. The spaghetti bolognese and pizza were very tasty as well as the cocktails. great service and atmosphere.“

“Also good experience going to Bravo’s“
