“Very friendly atmosphere, one of the cleanest restaurants we ever visited. (especially asian kitchen). I am terribly sorry that i forgot our waitress name but she had a name with three letters (ending with "oi" i guess). Thanks again for such a lovely experience.“
“Charming old world home with Sicilian brick oven! The team was wonderful and very friendly. I travel frequently and always seek out small brick oven pizza's to try. I am excited to say that this is now my new favorite! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful and the crust is outstanding! It is an easy walk from Newport Aquarium, which means I will be going again and again. The cannoli pie is a great way to finish up the meal and will not disappoint. The owners were there and engaging and so welcoming!“
“Came here with a friend who frequents this place and I'm pretty impressed. We lined up on Easter at opening and they already had a line out the door, even in the light drizzle. The line stayed that way over the next hour that we hung out there. They do sell out of items so it's best to get there as early as you can! I'm more of a sweet tooth when it comes to baked goods, but the everything bagel croissant is a must-have here. The staff heat it before serving, and it's truly the best of both worlds - the butteriness and flakiness of a croissant, with the garlic scallion seasme flavors of an everything bagel. The raspberry almond croissant is also delicious, a good balance of tart and nutty. The salty chocolate chip cookie was also good - large chocolate chunks throughout. The vegan matcha brownie was an adventurous pick; I'm usually iffy about vegan baked goods, and this one had a texture closer to a fudge than to a brownie. I liked the chocolate and mint combo but couldn't get a hint of matcha. Similarly, the raspberry matcha doodle had plenty of raspberry but 0 matcha. Overall, the limited edition matcha flavored items fell flat, but the goods off the regular menu were great and reasonably priced. The space itself is bright, large enough to seat a few small groups, and nice to hang out in. Staff are also helpful and friendly. Check this place out and stick to their bestsellers, and you'll be in carb heaven.“
“Great experience at the Empanada Box today. The food was excellent. Great variety. The employees were incredibly kind. They offered the kids complimentary cookies. 10/10! Our favorite was the Miami and Bordeaux empanadas. The ship and rice was excellent too.“
“Overall pretty neat restaurant! The menu is very limited - 3-4 options per course with 3 courses in total. Would appreciate bigger selection for this place. It’s not “fancy” enough to offer that limited menuAnd the atmosphere was not the best - a bit old/dated, not in a “antique-cool” way. Very simple interiorMeatballs were flavorfulAnd their duck is really goodHow they decided to bring out a ginger beer, after we ordered a ginger ale, because it is “ginger ale was not available, and this is the closest to it” will remain a mystery to me“

“Got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry and yes that’s what it tastes like!My overall favorite part though was the service. Greeting as soon as we walked in. Explanation of the menu! And then when we received our smoothies they all had cute little sayings, mine saying ‘Make it happen’. I hope they’re different every time bc this little touch really made it a home run and different for me.Thanks for making it happen, Better Blends!“
“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Cass at Hi-Wire Brewery, and I must say, her service elevated my entire experience to a new level of excellence. From the moment I walked in, Cass greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that instantly made me feel welcome.Her knowledge of the brewery's offerings was truly impressive. Not only did she expertly guide me through their extensive selection of craft beers, but she also provided insightful recommendations tailored to my taste preferences. Cass passion for the products shone through as she described each brew with enthusiasm and detail, making the decision-making process an enjoyable journey.What truly set Cass apart was her exceptional customer service. Throughout my visit, she consistently checked in to ensure I was enjoying my experience and was always ready to assist with any questions or requests I had. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued guest, and it's clear that she takes pride in providing top-notch service to every patron.Overall, my time at Hi-Wire Brewery was made unforgettable thanks to Cass outstanding service. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine hospitality are a true asset to the establishment. I look forward to returning soon and experiencing her exceptional service once again. If you're looking for a memorable brewery experience, be sure to ask for Cass at Hi-Wire Brewery – you won't be disappointed!“
“My partner and I tried this brewery right after we went to urban artifact, Right across the street! The vibe is wonderful! Super cozy and inviting ! Alicia (one of the owners) was super helpful and kind ! Can’t wait to come back ! The sour cherry seltzer and the farmhouse ale were amazing!“
“I have visited nearly every coffee shop in NKY, there are few that I literally think about weekly wishing I lived closer to visit more often. Unataza is top of that list. Their atmosphere is warm and inviting from the decor to the employees there was never a moment I didn't feel welcome. They serve Honduran coffee that is rich and blends beautifully with their homemade syrups and flavors. They rotate flavors with the season but majority are house made and festive. Their espresso drinks I could order by the dozen and I'd still want more, they're that good. They also serve authentic Honduran food from breakfast to lunch, they're a great compliment to a sweet drink. I adore this place and wish I lived closer to visit more but each visit here is such a treat.“
“I’ve hosted events at this venue and had a wonderful experience. Kind and professional staff, great atmosphere. If you like sours, there’s no place that does it like Urban Artifact. They have the best selection with a ton of variety and seasonal options. I’ve yet to try one that I haven’t liked, but Teak is my go-to favorite.“
“Atmosphere 9/10Amazing open air cocktail bars with 4 different lounge area and completely different vibes. There is something for everyone. A lot of international elements (signs from all over the world) and cool design elements. Also a nice bar in the middle of the main room.Drinks 8/10Decent signature menu, containing classic cocktails with a “twist”. Espresso Martini tasted great! I missed a nice coaster thoughService 9.5/10Very friendly bartender team. Serving water without asking. And I loved their dog treat dispenser and attention for furry friends. No reservations needed. Prices are good for Cincinnati tooWould recommend to experience this bar during daylight and ideally, when good weather. Suitable for big groups!“
“Good stuff, good service. Never a terrible wait......the staff is pretty efficient. I can see why they have been there forever and a day.Parking: Limited number of spaces and not the greatest of neighborhoods. Not sure about handicap parking, even though the shop and lot are handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream shop. If that isn't kid friendly I don't know what is.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all at ground level. There isn't a step or even an incline to traverse. So should be handicap friendly. Not sure about handicap parking though.“
“This place is genius. Your dogs can run and play with other dogs and you can have a beer and a smash burger. Lee owns the place and he's amazing. He has one rule. Your dogs must be vaccinated and you have to bring a copy of the vaccine record. This is great idea so all the dogs can be safe I will be back to try the food I can't wait“
“The yuca fries and shishito peppers were a great start to the meal. Comes out hot with a great dipping sauce. The classic burger was excellent. Juicy, cheesy, stacked with a proper bun. Good beer selection and Celia our server was top notch. Attentive, helpful, punctual with a great personality to match. Highly suggest you brave the parking sitch at lunch time and grab a table, you won't be disappointed. Open till 9 so I'll be back for seconds soon“
“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.“
“My recent visit to Boba Cha was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone. The menu boasted an impressive selection of boba teas and other refreshing beverages, each bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients.“
“I have been to this location a few times over the last few months, and today was another lovely experience! The barista was incredibly friendly and kind, and made a delicious americano. I got there right as the pastries came in, the blueberry danish is delicious!“
“Very good beer. Friendly staff. Cool space. And almost always a good food truck. If you haven't been in awhile, try them again. Their craft has gotten better and better. A great spot for happy hour because there always seems to be a table open.“
“Best birria than anywhere. we go here all the time. So good. I love the guti fries. Sunday brunch is always lit. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the flavor of the food is not consistent. Some days it's flavorful and some days it's bland. I guess it depends on who's “
“Great food. I love that they have gluten-free bread options and their coffees are amazing too. The staff is always friendly and the homemade pastries are delicious. I also love their mission. Local people helping local people. Great breakfast food and dinner specials. Chef Gigi is the best.“
“Mom ‘n ‘em is truly a gem in Camp Washington. Their avocado toast is a personal favorite and my favorite places to get it in the city. When the weather is nice, they have a wonderful little area to sit outside. They are a little on the pricier side (a coffee and breakfast run me about $22, where as maybe other places I could get coffee and a light breakfast for around $15) but is well worth the quality of the coffee and food. Also a great place to get tined fish, if you’re a fan. Love coming here to catch up with friends or work remotely.Dietary restrictions: Milk alternatives, can alter items if u have allergies. Had a close call with their granola bc it has nuts in it, but they replaced the item with no hesitation and no charge“
“Just a sweet bunch of gals working here.... I would not say working, I would say living! They seem genuinely happy to be here and makes you feel as if the place is yours also. Check out my ? with sausage, real egg and real cheese ? priced way under 6 bucks! I come for the coffee and stay for the food/smiles!“
“Everything about this place is just wonderful! Our go to is Italian Street Panini but everything is delicious. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and can’t wait til the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the cute patio! Owner and all employees are super friendly!“
“Recently rented the upstairs space for my friend's Bridal Shower and it was amazing! Great space, great music, lovely people, very accommodating & helpful... just wonderful overall! In addition to a wonderful venue experience I also have to say the wine was delicious, I highly recommend the Black Sheep Rouge, which is one of the Revel Winery wines. Deep & smooth!“
“Very cool and fun concept - the prices for their drinks changes depending on how many people are ordering that drink! Although fun, it also means you're perhaps paying more for a tastier drink ;) but in general, all of the prices are reasonable anyways! They had a lot of fun stuff going on when I was there - a lot on their TVs, trivia, and some other games in the back. Drinks were good, and I had a great time!“
“Let me start off by saying that I was having a really bad day, just leaving the hospital & randomly found this location as I googled ice cream places for a quick pick me up. So happy I found this gem! Janet was so sweet and welcoming, and her kind gesture will have me return as a repeat customer!I ordered a dole whip & honey… it was so, so good! My partner order a sprinkle cone and he loved it, too. Just a heads up - they are cash only at this time, so bring some coins with you!“
“Honestly, where do I start? The bartenders are patient, kind, and professional. This is the kind of place that can go from slow to packed out in 30 minutes, and the bartenders are never phased. This family owned bar provides great service every single time. Best poured Guinness in Cincinnati easily, beautiful location, and perfect hole in the wall spot! Dare I say best bar in the Cincinnati area? Yes, it is!!!“
“Doctor's order, cut back on the sweets. Now and again I have to stray away from my diet and have something from "Sugar!" Good cookies,brownies,some cake and more. May need to get a cookie cake for my birthday this year. Better work out. Check out one of, if not the best cookie place in cincy.“
“Pretty nice little spot. They were out of pretty much all the food at the truck by the time we got there at 8pm on Friday night. The bar staff was amazing. The beer was pretty good too. Nice spot to stop along the way if you're going to multiple bars.“
“For a place that is clearly listed as a bar it has incredible food. It's a cool neighborhood bar that seems to have plenty of locals I went there with a few friends to try the food and I must say the Pork Schnitzel Sandwich and the Giant Pretzel with Beer Cheese were incredible. If you are looking for a fun hangout with a cool outdoor area and good food it's worth a visit. One note is the place is small so it can get pretty cramped in the small indoor space they have.“
“I've walked past 1215 so many times on the way to somewhere else. We were out and I was craving an espresso martini, so we figured the wine bar and coffee lab was the perfect choice. I was skeptical of ordering their fancy version or a traditional espresso martini because of the mention of chocolate. I'm not a super sweet drink kind of person. I went out on a limb and decided on their fancy version (top model or something like that?) It was sooooo good! Service was fantastic.“
“We visited here before a play at the Aronoff, a 2 block walk. Our server was excellent. I had an Old Fashioned and the pastrami special , very good.However the half chicken was a bit dry, and overpriced at $30. The other meals at the table were good, it being Friday lent the menu was a bit “
“We had my mom’s 80th birthday dinner and it was simply amazing! Kate was a tremendous host and helped me consider all the details to make the event very special. We had happy hour and charcuterie in the front room and then dinner in the barrel room. What a beautiful and unique setting! All 31 of us were at one, long table and it was just gorgeous. The drinks- especially the WINE - and food were outstanding. We had a GREAT time. I highly recommend Kate and the Skeleton Root winery for your special events and business/corp team events.“
“It had been awhile since I have been here and I'm not sure why??The atmosphere is great. Very comfortable. The food is fantastic. Perfectly seasoned and flavorful. I want to try everything on the menu, but if I went back tomorrow I would order the same thing I ordered last night, the shrimp etoufee. It was delicious!Our waitress was spot on. She described the menu perfectly and offered great suggestions. Service was great! The service made the night. Her name was Danielle or Dana(I was not paying clise attention when she first came up).I'll be back soon! Great place!“
“This is my top brewery in the city for the beer and the vibe! Phenomenal German beers with some great twists. The gin is incredible as well (check out all their liquors). In an incredible old building with decor to match. FCC hooligans launch their march every game from this brewery! What else do I need to say!!!!(Except that our bartender Allie was incredible)“
“Awesome experience! We tried it tonight for the first time (it has been on the need to try list for a while).Mackenzie was super helpful picking out menu items to try.OG frozen margarita, queso & salsa, chicken tacos (called Swipe Right), and cheesecake cinnamon sugar mini taco dessert!!!! Time to wheel me out.“
“O'Bryons is the epitome neighborhood bar and restaurant in Newport. Service is courteous, friendly and timely. The bartender is very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Food is above average while being prepared well and fresh. The chicken wrap and chicken wings were tasty. Prices are reasonable for the area. Parking is a bit of a challenge with it all being street parking. Overall a good experience and worth trying out.“
“My husband threw me a surprise birthday party at Tillie’s and it could not have been more perfect! We had the entire back area to ourselves, but also had karaoke with the lovely Phaedra in the front to enjoy with other patrons. I love the space in the back, it’s intimate, but still open to enjoy the entire bar. I don’t drink, so Jordan the bartender made me a delicious mocktail to enjoy. Jordan was personable, attentive, and just a genuinely kind guy. My husband even worked with Nigel to have a playlist running all night of my favorite genre of songs. Tillie’s is perfect for any occasion, a fun random night out or a planned event like this. I felt so special and attended to. Thanks Tillie’s for a perfect night!“
“My favorite bar to visit when I'm in the Cincinnati area. The staff is always friendly, quick to provide you a beverage and they replace it when it is empty! The smoked wings are top tier and when the live music starts this spot is a rocking little place to be!“
“The outdoor seating at this location looks amazing. I wish it would have been warm enough to take advantage of it. We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of taproom exclusives. They also have the staple Sam Adam's beers you are used to seeing along with a small food menu. The inside has plenty of seating and the service was great!“
“Best damn pizza in the tristate area. I've never had a bad experience, and I always regret not getting multiple pies at a time. Amazing crust, fresh sauce and not overly greasy like a lot of other places around here. A bit expensive but it's worth it, I promise.“
“The Pilot has been my local spot for years, It’s truly like an episode of Cheers! The staff, the owner and the regulars make you feel welcome! The Pilot Inn will always have a special place in my heart.Parking: Parking is never an issue. The pilot inn has their own parking lot and there is also plenty of parking next door at rookwood commons.“
“One of my favorite bars in cincinnati!! Their cocktail menu doesn’t miss!!! Pictured is their spring 2023 menu and I ordered the ‘Table talks’ from it! I was fascinated by all the different ingredients for the drink. I’m a gin drinker so I naturally lean in that direction. I felt like this drink was either going to be a miss or an absolute favorite no one between. IT WAS AMAZING!! And come on the little milk jar glass, obsessed!! I still think about this drink sometimes and hope it makes it back onto the menu soon. If you can’t find a current drink menu, trust me there will be something you like when you go in! If not the bar staff is so nice and are so attentive to make sure you are served a drink you will love “
“LOVE Liberty's! I recently visited twice in the same week due to how great this place is. First on a Saturday night which was busy; all the outdoor tables and the entire bar were full, we luckily were able to grab one of the couches to sit on. This visit I opted for the Non-Alcoholic Wine which was very good and tasted just like real Riesling! My friends all got classic Liberty Mules - some Moscow and some Kentucky - as well as some wine - it is so amazing this place has so many options for everyone! I came back again on a Thursday after work when they had just opened and was able to secure a spot at the bar - this time I opted for the espresso martini and WOW was it delicious! It quickly started to fill up as we were there so we were happy we had our seats secured early. Both of these times I had the same bartender who was so friendly, attentive and helped answer all our questions on the menu. She was super flexible in our ordering and always made sure our water cups were full which was greatly appreciated! Overall this place has the best of everything - atmosphere, drinks and staff - I cannot wait until I am back again!“
“I've been wanting to try Bridges for a while and finally got around to doing it and it DID NOT disappoint! Got the vegan Momos, Chow Mein, and Samosa and they were the best I have ever had at any Nepali food establishment. The employees were so sweet and suggested things to us and everything came out so quickly even with coming in so close to closing time (made sure to leave before closing don't worry, not a jerk.) I would definitely recommend this to everyone.“
“a very interesting bar that i wish i had more time to experience, arcade, pin bowling, pinball machines (which 3 balls for $1 is a bit expensive) and other free games like giant jenga & connect 4, i didnt get to go to the roof due to rain, but seems like a really cool placeWheelchair accessibility: elevators“
“My favorite local ice cream chain! Every location is great, and every flavor is delicious. If it has mix-ins, WOW! They really add them generously. My favorite is the brownies and cream. Their non mix-in flavors have a very decadent richness. Yum!!!“
“Amazing! We had the Cuban (so delicious) and torta carnitas. We also had El Cubo that came with a bottle of champagne and 3 juices (pineapple, orange & strawberry). It’s so bright and beautiful inside. We can’t wait to go back again and again to try all their dishes! We had the best Sunday dateKid-friendliness: Perfect place for a brunch and mimosa or a family day out“
“Place was empty and we sat in the deck in the back. I had a Blue Moon draft with two samosas that were delicious. My friend had the veggie burger and said it was very good as well. Samosas and beer $12. Food comes out of a trailer in the parking lot and in take-out containers. Still, a perfect light snack to have with your drink. Great deal, good place to hang out with friends. I recommend.“
“This establishment has been a neighborhood fave for many years. The service and food is top notch, and the ambiance is perfect for families and friends. This is also a super spot for a date. Never be afraid to ask for substitutes in a meal, as they are always happy to meet your needs when able. They have a full bar, a birthday gong if you're celebrating another year older, and wonderful desserts.“
