Clean and rustic atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. The drinks are very tasty and the price is right. Be sure to try the snacks.

What a lovely and friendly place! We had just come from a high end bar where the bartenders did not smile or talk at anytime to any customer even when the tab was being paid. (As a former bartender and server, I notice such things.) At Longfellows it was the opposite. The folks behind the bar were so friendly and engaging! The crowd was very local (we were visiting a local friend for the eclipse), and we did not want for interesting conversation. Definitely will be back next time we’re in Cincy!

Cozy neighborhood spot with great cocktails and a small but mighty menu. The olives are a great value, and the egg salad sandwich was very tasty. The bartenders were so friendly, and people came in and out greeting people by name all evening. What a gem!

Want a bar where everyone is super friendly and the drinks are expertly made? If you answered yes then you better head over to Longfellow. This bar has some of the best staff in the bizz. Even when they're packed, you're still guaranteed to get excellent service and will be remembered whether you're a regular or only stopping in periodically.

This bar really sets the standard in Cincinnati. The bartenders are true artists-mixologists. And the food is fantastic as well. While not a full restaurant menu, delish! It really is the perfect neighborhood bar.

Have visited multiple times from LA. One of my favorite bars in the country; drinks are carefully crafted and delicious. The snacks are fresh and unique. The Other Room next door also has unreal and unique cocktails. Definitely worth a visit.

A very cool spot to enjoy drinks outside when it's nice out. Service is pretty fast. Their food menu is limited, but good.

I rated Longfellow 5/5 years ago when it opened and it is still 5/5 to this day.You have: a fun vibe, intimate size, in the heart of OTR, with a variety of interesting cocktails, nice liquor, and lots of beer options too. And awesome food. Service is always very friendly and laidback.I really can't think of a single thing I would change about Longfellow, which says a lot. I've lived here for a decade and tried virtually every bar around OTR, Downtown, etc, and I can't think of any other that nails all the details as well as Longfellow.While it has grown to be quite popular, it still feels like a hidden gem. The owner, Mike, is also a very cool guy that spends plenty of time in his bars and genuinely cares to make sure everyone has a good time. In retrospect, it makes you wish every bar was run this well!If you stop in and find Longfellow packed, check out their sister bar and restaurant Mid-City on Court Street, just a few blocks away. It's a little bougier but still very much a bar "for the people" and always a good time as well. Cheers! ?I won't say too much about the Other Room / secret back bar, but check it out too for something different (usually open on the weekends).
