Bars near Alexandria

“The food is epic. It definitely over delivers. The wings are fantastic, brined, rubbed, smoked and I am assuming fried prior to serving. The flavor is fantastic, even with the tame (by heat) sauces. These are easily on par with Knock Back Nats wings and not as spicy, so they probably appeal to many more.I also had the Smoked and Fried Bologna Sandwich! Epic! Tater tots are really good, and the kids' chicken and waffles were also excellent. We will be back for sure. I suggest you try this place out if you hadn't before. Being inside Alexandria Brewing Company is also a bonus as they have some pretty solid beers as well.Ok we went back on a Saturday. And they definitely need to step up their game in the kitchen. They took orders with buzzers. Why they don't take all orders as they come is beyond me. wouldn't you want to know what's incoming? I don't know. The food was great the first time. We've been waiting 2 hours the 2nd time. Perhaps come on a weeknight and expect slow service.? Not a great 2nd experience.“

“I got a Philly cheesesteak samwhich that was so good I couldn’t remember my own name. 30 minutes after eating all of my memories of my life and identity came flooding back. I remembered eating the Philly cheesesteak and immediately began craving another.5 stars all around.“

“Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.“

“Loved our dining experience at Bouqet. Our server Ella was great! We tried the focaccia bread (delicious) and the cheese plate to start. Loved the pickled options. We also tried the steak, meatballs, and salmon. All were so good. The only reason I didn't give full 5 stars due to the noise level from a neighboring table. They were even nice enough to provide a complimentary dessert to apologize for the table's rowdiness. Would definitely recommend and return!“

“Stopped in today and it was awesome. We are newbies to the bourbon world and Brad treated us as if we had been high end customers forever. The selection is excellent and the service can’t be beat! We picked up a nice bottle to commemorate our visit and got it at a great price. This is a must stop for anyone interested in bourbon or vintage spirits!“

“If you haven't been here then you're missing out. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the entire staff is spirited about your experience and the drinks they're making. I genuinely disliked gin before I tried this place out, and after a crash course and tasting different types, I now confidently order gin cocktails knowing I'm going to enjoy them. They have a great selection of small plates that are always delicious. Both menus rotate frequently, so I rarely find myself getting the same thing. The bands they host are always excellent and the volume never bothers me. Although not advertised, they also do a discounted menu on Wednesdays!The food is served tapas style, in small portions, often with international flavors. If I'm going for a full dinner, I usually order 3 items or sharing 4-5 plates with another person - which is like half the menu. The Caesar salad is a menu staple and my favorite in the whole city. Whatever meatballs that they have are always good, too.Not only is this a great date-night place, it's a great spot for large groups, too. The owners were very accommodating for the larger parties I've hosted and it's plenty of space for other larger parties that I've attended. On a few occasions, I've witnessed a couple small birthday parties at the same time as there have a band playing, and it didn't feel crowded.Vegetarian options: There are usually vegetarian options on the menu, and occasionally vegan options. Because of the international focus, their vegetarian options have more complex flavors and sustenance than your alternative bars/restaurants with 'vegetarian' options, like salad or pasta with veggies.“

“We booked the upstairs party room for our family Christmas party. Everything was perfect, hall was decorated and festive! They handled everything. The kitchen manager, Chuck Wilson was amazing! We worked out the menu together and he out did himself. Quality and quantity was outstanding. This guy deserves a raise! All staff members were friendly and helpful. It was a perfect night! Thank you Chuck Wilson, and Green Kayak!“

“This place is so much fun. We stopped here since we saw some igloos on the sidewalk and inquired inside. Unfortunately you need to book those in advance so we just grabbed a spot at the bar. The waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu and getting us our flight of drinks very quickly. We also ordered the loaded potato dip and it was delicious! Had to try the "chili" for chili week and it was a delicious bowl of ice cream with rice crispys. Overall 5/5 stars, when we are back in the Cincinnati area we will stop by.“

“Coaches corner is the best place. It's so much fun & the food is delicious!! The service is EXCELLENT!! You won't find a better local hangout! Casey behind the bar is a real treasure, she makes you want to come back everyday! Truly there is nothing better, it's Newport finest hidden gem if you haven't been before!“

“A neighborhood gem! Loved the place! Good selection of beers, wine and hard liquor. Check kitchen hours, if you are planning to eat. Great bar food! Family friendly. A kid’s area with toys and things for them to do. Check their website for events.“

“Always a vibe , mid day or at night or trivia on Wednesday. An Aperol is my go to but the cocktails are amazing. Make sure to grab some food. The fire pits and the TVs outside are great for baseball and football season. Be sure to add this on your list. It doesn’t disappoint.“

“Great place, bartenders are AMAZING!“

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

“The food is from a Taco truck outside the restaurant. There are benches outside our you can eat inside. The bowling is the beat....so fun with the antique machine. It is really good!Vegetarian options: All vegetable burrito, quesadilla and taco.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps“

“As a disabled person who uses a rollator, this venue is pretty accessible to me. The entrance is flat. There's a ramp to get to the sanctuary (it is a little steep, though, it might be hard to push someone up it). from what I remember, the bathroom was technically an ADA bathroom. In reality, with all the people crowding in there, it would be difficult to get a rollator or wheelchair in there. (I didn't take my rollator to the bathroom with me because the concert was so crowded and definitely regretted it because the wait was so long),There's no disabled parking on the street near the entrance, so my friends usually drop me off at the entrance and then find parking.I also like the look of the venue and how you can tell it used to be a church and has stained glass windows.I don't drink alcohol and appreciate the multiple soda water options“

“Hier läuft für meinen Geschmack gute Musik und das Bier ist super kalt! Perfekt“

“Hidden gem in Newport, KY right across the river from downtown Cincinnati...excellent list of private single barrel Bourbons that pair great with their excellent selection of cigars. Easy going ambiance and great service. Kudos to Ms. Summer and Mr. Dallas.“

“First time partaking That Guy’s BBQ. The mushroom streak hoagie was amazing!!! Also had some wings, and they didn’t last long. I’m sold and I will be back soon!! Keep up the great work!“

“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.“

“Great people amazing food and very good beer. What a combo!“

“Knuk n futz is such a quirky little restaurant and it might be my new favorite place to get wings in the area. The unusual amount of trinkets hanging on the wall reminded me of a cooler Cracker Barrel.The three of us came in on a busy Friday night and were seated right away. The place was packed within a half hour. We all got a beer and a shared appetizer to start off with. The soft pretzels and beer cheese were awesome. The beer cheese was pretty spicy which we all enjoyed. Our server was great, unfortunately I cannot remember her name. The wings were exactly how I prefer. Fried fairly crispy, and just the right amount of their delicious sauce. I got the parm garlic with a medium heat level. The homemade ranch is good as well. I also had to get the smiley fries because I haven't had them since I was a kid. The women's restroom has a poster of famous heartthrobs dating from the 80's up to now. That was a crowd pleaser at my table. Can't wait to go back!!“

“Gorgeous hotel and friendly staff. Super clean and beds are comfortable. Rooms have small touches that are awesome (lighted magnified mirror in the bathroom for doing makeup is amazing!).“

“This place is a hidden gem to those who ha e never heard of it before. The staff was so kind and attentive as soon as we walked through the door. Food was prepared quickly and was of the freshest ingredients. Everything we ate was amazing. It was our first time there and we will be back. Also they have live music every night. Checkout their website for times.Parking: Local parking on near by streets.Kid-friendliness: Super friendly and accommodating.“

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

“An LGBTQ+ mainstay in the heart of Mainstrasse! A friend invited me for a visit, and I am so glad he did! Haven’t been in 15 years. Rosie’s is fun, clean, beautifully appointed with wood features and clever signage, and mostly just full of really great folks and bartenders.“

“Great food, great service. Loved their nacho trio and 3 taco combo. Great GFDF options available.“

“Come enjoy an evening with the largest selection of bourbon in the world, learning about bourbon history with most knowledgeable customers on the planet in a warm & welcoming atmosphere. You soon become a friend when you arrive and leave a good friend for life ❤️?“

“The largest beer garden this side of Munich! So we are told! This is a great little place right on the corner downtown Newport KY across from the walking purple bridge. Such a great atmosphere, great food, live music most nights, and plenty of outdoor and indoor seating.We ordered the Munich sampler, which was plenty of food for 2, and a couple Hefeweizen beers, which were delicious!!Everybody is dressed in the German attire, and you get the real feel of a beer garden!Recommended!Parking: Easy to park!“

“Great vibes and food we will be back.“

“Atmosphere 9/10Nice upscale lounge atmosphere with a cool bar in the middle. Bar and table seating options. Quiet music completes the vibe for a relaxing cocktailDrinks 10/10Stylish menu, great whiskey selection. When in Kentucky, you need to try Bourbon based cocktails. Perfect Manhattan was on point. Can recommend Boone County Rye. Whiskey sour was great too - perfect egg white foam. Great presentation too.Coaster game is strong - gives the drink an additional flairService 7/10Nice bartenders. They didn’t serve water (without asking) though, which an upscale bar should do IMO. There was also no reception, to explain if anything is reserved or free to seat. Prices are on higher end for Kentucky.“

“We enjoyed "drinks & a show" in this little speakeasy-style upstairs bar as we watched bartender/manager Chris prepare a variety of drinks – many of which involved fire! They have a huge bourbon library, interesting cocktails, and Goodfellas pizza right downstairs.“

“Great place in Ft Thomas to come on for a beer and a game on the TV. Just a great local tavern feel. Street parking 2 hr limited but I say screw it... you're enforcing the local businesses. Have a drink, strike up some conversation on Reds, Bengals.... Heck anything and get into the local vibe.“

“I recently hosted a baby shower at Blinker's Tavern and I must say it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. This establishment truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, leaving me with a lasting impression. From the moment I reached out to Blinker's to inquire about hosting the baby shower, the event coordinator Amy L. was incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant, servers and host went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. They seamlessly coordinated the flow of food and beverages, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and allowing me to enjoy my time. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Thank you!“

“My Mr and I had some time to kill and wanted to grab a drink before the show (at the MegaCorp). We walked by Wooden Cask and with no hesitation, went in. So..it's been YEARS since we've been to the Levee and they definitely revamped this area. More stores, restaurants and libations! They too partake in the Banks atmosphere. Walk around the area with your drinks. This place is very small but has so much to offer. I've been to their original brewery (loved it), I was impressed that they've up their game. Now their serve their craft beers on tap, wine, mock tails, seltzers, bourbon, and food. Their food menu is very small. Flatbreads, wings and sandwiches. We didn't have time to try but I know we will be back. Overall a great experience. The bartenders were cool and pricing was definitely reasonable.“

“The perfect place to get your Kentucky hug on! When I think of a Kentucky Bourbon Bar I think of OKBB with their fantastic selection and relaxed vibe. At OKBB you can get yourself good pours, merch and a bottle barrel pick to go all in the same place!“

“Top tip - if you want a casual beer or cocktail, or indeed great glass of wine - head to Jerrys. The girls behind the bar that day were great !! very friendly and we had a great chat, although I understand they were only temporary. The place is awesome but small. expect a bit of nudging in busier times at the bar. the beer was cold. the cocktails were great (if a bit sugary) and they had a great organic/natural wine list. we had the arepas (3) 2 beef one chicken - and we left the topping selection to the lady who was cooking them (from scratch) they were great. Add to this great decor - kinda mid century modern, and you have great little bar !!“

“Went to dinner and they had a live performance, "The Edwards Twins"! They were absolutely amazing. Very enjoyable time, always a fun place to go for family functions and they have a wonderful murder mystery dinner a few times a month.“

“Such a cool pizza restaurant! The vibe was fun and upbeat. We ordered take out, only took 25 minutes during the dinner rush and the pizza was delicious! We had the Pacific Rim minus the jalapeños, it was full of fresh flavor and had a sweetness to it. Boys loved their cheese pizza. The workers were really nice and talked with us. Recommend!“

“Not only was there a fabulous selection of bourbon, but the Newberrys were so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I learned more about the history of bourbon in my few hours at this establishment than I have in all the tours and tastings I've done. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Great place to hang out with your friends and get a few drinks at a great price!“

“This place was simply amazing from the ambiance inside of the jazz music playing, our waitress has some great recommendations. The Chef was kind enough to send a sample of ice cream and the fried chicken was some of the best I ever had.....definitely a must if you in the area, and we will be going back.“

“Great local dive bar and Awesome Staff! NOLA flavor. It’s a must stop in joint for sure! Check out the happy hour specials from 4-7 and daily drink specials“

“First time visit to 927 Reserve and I was very impressed. The atmosphere is outstanding with cool finishes inside and a nice sitting area outside with firepit. Live music from the Shadwell Band was awesome. Great selection of bourbons and the bartenders were on top of their game. Great place to hang with friends or watch a game.“

“Have been there twice and love it Kay the manager is awesome Alex one of the bartenders is a good guy. Nice pool tables I rate it a 10 and will go back“

“What a fun vibe! We went there New Years Eve, pretty early in the day so it was empty besides us, but absolutely loved the atmosphere. They have plenty of green space (which is dog-friendly as long as fido doesn't potty), food vendors, various seating spaces, large televisions, curling, other games, photo opportunities, and more. If being outdoor isn't your vibe, they have a covered heated section (where the walls can come down in the summer) as well as in actual in-door bar where we got some delicious gingerbread old fashioneds. I can only imagine how fun this place is when its packed (and warmer). Our service was great - which sound be expected as the only ones there lol but he was nice, friendly, and made a great drink.“

“We rented the Queens Quarters for my sister's surprise 40th bday. Booking and planning was super easy. Staff was great. We used their catering thru Thunderdome and chose Bakersfield OTR. TONS of food. Take home containers. Everything was fresh and delish. Bartenders were attentive and provided outstanding service. Everything went as planned. She was surprised! All guests had a great night. I would definitely use their services again for another event. I highly recommend you consider this venue for your next event. Thank you for everything!“

“Great Local Hangout for Young and old alike!“
