Placebo was very clean and the decor was trendy and comfortable. A large group of us were in town for professional development and Jaxon provided outstanding service as the only bartender.

Myself and my wife went on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. So we were very excited to come back. Sadly when we went in yesterday we received absolutley no service to the point where we left after we watched the bartenders tend to three separate groups that had walked up to the bar while we had been seated and had not even been given a menu. We will not be back.

Cute place but sadly seems like a younger crowd bar.. Was slightly concerned if they were serving under age people but what do I know.

This bar is so cute and cozy! My friend and I have been here quite a few times since we just live up the street. I love all the different and cool concepts for drinks they have and they also seem to have a special every night for different spirits which is so fun. I'm sure you'll find a drink you'll like too, and I also love when places have mocktails too! The only thing that is kind of annoying is that they don't have a food selection so you'll have to eat before you come. I do see some people bring in food from element eatery so I think that is allowed. My friend raves about the espresso martini and one of my favorites is the role model (add gin if you want a cocktail)! I do like how they have some seasonal drinks or fun drinks for the holidays/time of year!

Placebo had such an elegant ambiance. The bartenders, Walter and Erik, made the experience amazing. They had great recommendations and were very attentive. Great cocktail bar!

Enjoyed a friend's birthday celebration at Placebo a couple weeks ago. I find the location at Medpace Way complex to be a bit secluded and antiseptic, but Placebo has a warm and inviting atmosphere. In terms of drinks, they have plenty, as well as an easily accessible water fountain. The chunky wood tables are pleasant and the squashy booths are quite comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the room off to the right side as it offered a little calm and pleasantly isolated corner to ourselves. I was also happy to find the bank of private bathrooms, though some of the sliding doors were challenging to operate. This is a fancy bar without servers, so you will have to walk up to the bar to order. Prices are a bit on the high side. My date and I spent over a hundred dollars on drinks in a single evening. You have been warned.

I have been to Placebo multiple times and I’m happy to say the vibe has changed! The new bar staff are friendly, fantastic to talk to, and I’m always greeted with a smile when I come in. The drinks are delicious and fairly priced, given the luxurious atmosphere. I love seeing all walks of life come & enjoy this wonderful space, all are accepted here!In my opinion, the beat drinks are the Espresso Martini and the Low Tide.I also included pictures of* Lichidor* Espresso Martini* Manhattan* Bees KneesAll together, I think Placebo embodies Cincinnati perfectly!Dietary restrictions: Vegan people don’t have to worry about animal products here. They use an egg white alternative that is so yummy to make their foamy drinks. Plus, their popcorn is vegan too! Taste like movie theater popcorn ?Wheelchair accessibility: They have a lowered bar top for people who can’t use high tops!

Visited multiple times and thoroughly enjoyed each visit!! Nostalgic and cozy with a hint of elegance. Service was excellent the drinks were amazing! You can enjoy the patio in summer months, the openess of the bar inside or privacy sitting room off the main bar. Something for everyone drinkers or non drinkers alike. I've personally had their mocktails and wow taste like the real deal!! Will be returning here frequently!

The cocktails are delicious, smoked old fashioned and Give it time are both 9/10
Very very cool spot, came by here with a group to hang out after a day of sales training. Nice sized place, very clean and very nice staff. We didn't eat there as we had a cocktail hour prior with food being served but the old fashioneds there were very good but slightly too sweet for me so thats why the 4 stars which is a dam solid rating.
