Bars near Lockland

“I’ve been to mid city about 5 times, it was amazing the first time I went and every time I go it gets better. The staff are amazing people! They have nailed both food & service. When you eat here, they make every guest feel special. Just this week I went to a high end restaurant in Cincinnati and was treated like an inconvenience because I had an infant with me. Then I came to mid city and they were so accommodating of the baby. They knew who we were right when we walked in, they gave us a huge table with plenty of space, kept saying how glad they were we came, it was pouring rain outside so they gave us towels to wipe off, they helped us to our table, even helped carry the car seat. That’s how you run a restaurant. There’s a reason they have a 4.9 star rating on Google, it’s because I don’t think 5 star is possible.“

“Lovely spot. Menu has a lot of tempting items. I ate at the bar and the server was friendly and efficient. Lasagna was delicious. They have wine specials (on Wednesdays, I believe… could be Mondays- best to ask)Parking was easy. Seems like a lot of locals/regulars based on how people were being greeted as they came in (like old friends).Decor is interesting- feels like a European bistro, which was likely the intention.“

“A group of four, we ordered chicken tikka mughlai, chicken saag, lamb bhuna, and aloo bhindi (potato and okra). The last dish was not on the menu but my wife asked for the combination and they quickly obliged. All the dishes were very good. My favorite was the chicken tikka mughlai. Service was good and very friendly.“

“Our server, Elijah, was great. He paced the meal well and did not rush us. The food was well prepared. One in our party had the swordfish special. The other had the shrimp scampi which was flavorful as well. Sitting on the enclosed back patio with the fire pit was a nice touch as well as the band that was playing music that was not too loud either. The restaurant is certainly a nice spot and we will be back.“

“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!“

“A really cool and quaint place to come and relax, gather, and literally “chill”. They make the BEST Old Fashioned using delicious and good quality bourbon. They have a few bites- more of lite vittles. Their chicken salad sandwich was very good (not pictured) and the cheese dip was pretty decent. Their outdoor area is very spacious and there is even a lil ice cream shop near their outdoor area that sells soft serve ice cream.“

“Food from scratch, made with the best ingredients. Never knew about the kids cooking class. Very elementary, but the kids loved it, and the staff did everything to make it great for all participants. Thank you executive Chef Karl! Handling, smelling, and talking about all of the Italian themed herbs was a nice touch.“

“What a great neighborhood bar that Camp is lucky to have. The music is always on point, the dart room is awesome, they have a great outdoor area, plus they serve Old Style. Kiel is a stand-up dude and runs a fine establishment and gives back to the community. They're always having raffles or selling pull tabs for charity.Update: Anna is a great bartender too. She's friendly, attentive, and quite tactful at dealing with rude and/or condescending patrons.“

“WE HAD OUR FORTY YEAR CLASS REUNION THERE .GREG DOOR WAS A CLASSMATE OF MINE.THE WAY WE WERE TREATED BY HIS STAFF WAS JUST AWESOME. GREGG MADE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL AND IT WAS AND MORE.SO I KNOW THAT IF U HAVE NOT BEEN THERE GO U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED I PROMISE YOU THAT. TO THE STAFF AND GREG AND HIS WIFE THANK U SOMUCH.P.S IAM HANDICAP AND THAT IS NO PROBLEM GETTING IN.“

“Our first visit to this tiny eclectic spot was just grand. With just three tables plus bar and window bar seating, we were fortunate to have a reservation. Loved the vibe — from the large velvet-draped windows to the deep blue and wallpapered walls to the gorgeous stained glass piece on the ceiling — this place feels sexy and mysterious. Our dirty martini and fig & thyme cocktails were perfectly prepared and presented in a variety (we had a few rounds) of vintage-style glassware. We started with the deviled pickled eggs topped with caviar. Nice. He greatly enjoyed kielbasa bowl, and my babcia platter provided tastes of sausage, their potato salad, and two house made pierogi. Our server also made the drinks and was delightful! We’ll return for sure.Parking: Paid parking a half block down 12th.“

“Stopped in to visit this restaurant and I thought it was pretty good. I got the Cheddar scallion biscuits And calamari to off, those items were really good. I got the Clyborne Burger which was really tasty! If you are in the area be sure to check out this place. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and up to date. They had a very nice vibe in the restaurant.“

“Gordos in the hole in the wall burger spot that you didn't know you needed. With thick, unique, and tasty burgers. Thick cut fries come standard. There are so many great burger combos to try, but you need to try either the GFat or the simple PBJ. Across their menu you'll find other sneaky good options like the tacos or the pear salad, but the burgers are the core of why you seek out Gordos. Service can be a little slow, especially when it gets busy, but you can often find this place to be fairly open unless it's a Xavier game day. Helpful to know: Park to the left side of the building in the odd looking lot. The right side of the building parking is owned by a different building/business. On nice days, see if you can sit in the back patio. It's a little oasis from the noisy of Norwoods main drag.“

“The food here is great – I've liked everything so far. But the lunch portions are pretty small. Typical American lunch sizes are bigger, so if you're really hungry or a larger person, you might need 2-3 of these lunch servings. The menu photos are spot on – think kid-sized quesadillas and single small tortillas. Personally, I'd be happy to pay a bit more for larger portions. If you're really hungry, consider the dinner menu even at lunch. Still, I'll keep coming back for the taste!Parking: Location only has roughly 10-15 spots shared among a number of businesses.“

“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!“

“This place is a hidden gem. Food was amazing. Great service. Wife got the main pho dish. I got the spicy beef soup (is not hot by itself, heat comes on the side). Both were the best pho meals we have had! We will be going back.I highly recommend the spicy beef soup!“

“Had an incredible time at The Jester Bar & Cigar Patio in Cincinnati! The atmosphere was lively and inviting, perfect for celebrating the black Greek community. Lee, the bartender, mixed up the most delightful drinks, and Damon Jones, the manager, ensured everything ran seamlessly. The fusion of a vibrant ambiance, top-notch service, and a fantastic cigar selection made for an unforgettable evening. Whether you're looking for a relaxed hangout or a place to commemorate special occasions, The Jester Bar & Cigar Patio is a must-visit. Can't wait to return for more good times and great conversations!“

“My first time there because I’ve apparently been living under a rock, but I’ll definitely be back. There wasn’t anything I didn’t love. The service was fantastic. Loved the ambiance. I had the filet. It was cooked perfectly. All of the food was incredible. The carrot cake was insane, it was so good. Good wine selection and our server seemed to know a lot about the various wines. All around great evening.“

“I had an amazing experience at Pins recently. The service was excellent, great vibe from the staff, specifically Andy who provided over the top service and some great conversation to top it off. Would highly recommend going to Pins for your next group outing“

“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.“

“We went during restaurant week so we had a mix of a few items across thr menu including the guacamole, salads, tacos and of course a margarita. Everything was delicious BUT do not sleep on these salads. I know... salad on taco Tuesday? YES only if its that Johnny salad at Bakersfield! The margs are delightful, the tequila was flowing around us, and tacos that come out by the platterful. What could be better?“

“This is an excellent place to visit for live Jazz! They have a parking lot with free parking that is rare for a lot of Cincinnati businesses in the area. Great drinks and desserts. There are also light snacks available. The bathrooms are clean and well managed. They are family owned and the building has a lot of great history. This is a great place for after dinner drinks or dessert.Parking: Parking is free and located on the same property. Easy and convenient.“

“Super cool bar to chill at near Findlay Market. Awesome staff and great drafts and cocktails. Great specials and cool decor too.Lots of yummy snacks, including chips, pickles and - my fave - 3 flavors of pickled eggs, Plus 2 TVs, nice music and always a good time. They also host good food popups on the weekends.“

“The Lytle Hotel was exceptional in every way! Our weekend stay included a wedding celebration, so we were privy to more than just room accommodations. The entire staff were incredibly personable and professional, and their attention to detail was always at the forefront of service. From the parking valet service, to room service, to bar service, we could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Lytle. It’s the little things like great water pressure and temperature in the shower, incredibly soft towels and robes, and billowy-soft pillows that really made The Lytle a favorite! The food was delicious, the atmosphere and ambiance were second to none, and the friendliness of the staff made The Lytle Hotel one of our all-time favorite stays. We will definitely return when we are in Cincinnati!“

“Small family friendly bar. "Cheers" type atmosphere. Had days special..double cheeseburger and fries. Delicious and filling.Parking: Located close to an available public lot. This lot is where a business used to be and other surrounding business share the spaces. So I believe that although not specifically for public parking it is tolerated. Street parking..although limited is available also.“

“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!“

“A mixup with our carryout order turned into one the best customer service experiences in recent memory at Newtown Village Tavern. The owners were very attentive to our order mishap and had assured us our order would be hot and prepared as requested. The food was delicious and you now have our forever patronage. I highly suggest that you give NVT a try for what I consider to be the best pizza in the area! Customer service is above and beyond!“

“This was a great experience. I didn't have a brew that I didn't like at this place. I'm a stout guy and there was a healthy selection of those. There are a lot of places that go all-in on ipas, but this place has something for everyone. The staff is friendly and my glass was never empty for longer than it took me to decide my next beer. Would definitely come back when im in the area“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is the best I've seen in a long time, and the live music is fantastic. The drinks are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I'd love to try more things on the menu, and I'd definitely recommend this place to a friend.“

“Awesome pizza and awesome service! Unfortunately tonight there was a situation with a very rude customer who was making it very difficult for the employees to help everyone. However, the employees that night handled it beautifully. Shoutout to Brandon who handled the situation greatly, defending both his coworkers and customers when they were being berated at by the unnerved customer. This was an awesome place and would definitely come back when I’m in the area again :)“

“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 “

“Best fish sandwich you'll ever have and I'm just not saying that lightly. Plus they often have live local or regional talent playing in the back room especially on the weekends. The rest of the menu looks divine but, man, how do you not get that fish. Flaky, light breading, melts in your mouth. I'm getting hungry thinking about it now. Plus his whiskey collection is top notch. The owner, Bill, is usually on site as well. You can tell he cares about his product and service. Love this place! I'd give it 6 stars if that was possible.“

“My girlfriend and I look forward to going here every weekend. I was cautious about leaving a review because I didn’t want anyone to know how great this place was. It should be packed more often. Great beers, amazing food, and awesome people.“

“The gluten free pizza was amazing! Our server was really nice and recommended some amazing things.Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free pizza crust.Kid-friendliness: They provide a kid's menu and crayons, and have a fun atmosphere that kids enjoy.“

“Went to Saeso for the first time last night and I can't wait to go back. Very cool space with good tunes and good decor. They spin vinyl so you'll hear some cool stuff. The exposed brick looks classic. I think a great bar shouldn't be too big, and this is a tighter space. The drinks were also fantastic. I was really impressed with the cocktail menu, a cool mix of classics and innovations. The espresso martini was a 10/10. We sat at the bar and the service was great, very efficient and friendly.“

“Great atmosphere and music. This place is the perfect hole in the wall experience for excellent music. A+Parking: I took a Lyft and there was no issue at all. Driver was familiar with venue. Plenty of parking on Saturday night.Kid-friendliness: Bar tenders are very professional and very fast. I was impressed with the speed and quality of service despite it being busy.“

“Aleta and John were present. Lights, music, bar mats. AESTHETIC. We ordered wings.They said we have an issue with these things.(Their Order for normal sized wings was mis-delivered. Instead of normal sized wings they were given incredibly small drums and flats)The deal was 15 for 8We said continue to demonstrateDeliciousAffordableSeriousUntouchableTo not walk through the doorAnd not enjoy yourselfImplies a character poorFine local spirits on the shelf“

“We usually get carryout, but the dining area is great as well. I'm only giving it 4/5 stars because they changed the menu recently and my favorites are gone. (The green bean fries were fantastic and we liked the buffalo mac and cheese, but sadly both are gone.) But everything else we've tried has been good and the service is always nice. I do wish the portions were a little smaller, because one dinner is usually enough for two meals for me.Parking: There's plenty of parking behind the restaurant.“

“Had a great time. Bbq chicken pizza was great. Husband had po'boy daughter had Ramen bowl. Everything was great however when the music started it was so loud you couldn't talk at your table. we were sitting half was through but was still very loud. Will definitely be back“

“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.“

“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 ❤️?“

“Nice evening out with my cigar buddies. Everyone commented that the food was good, tacos, charcuterie and I enjoyed the kangaroo crustini...first time trying kangaroo tasted like steak. Good drinks, nicely priced. The raffle was fun as well. Very chilly inside, dress warmly...cold feet.“

“Great little bar, a true hidden gem ..hiding in plain sight lol ...very spacious,clean and lots of variety to drink ...have two pool tables ,golden tee and most importantly a vintage bowling lane game ...much more room on the back porch ...will definitely be again“

“I am only going to rate this 4 out of 5 stars because it entirely depends on the type of bar that you're looking for. If you are looking for a bar that is made up of people at the ages of 40 plus then this is your bar, pairing with the fact that it is kind of a dive makes it a great choice to get a cheap drink. There is some good atmosphere in banter among the people that visit this establishment.I will say The only reason I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars is because I have been given grief for being 30 years old and visiting this bar, like come on people.“

“A great little watering hole in Ludlow. We love the food trucks and live music. Plus the games are always nice. Lots of TVs and places to sit (both inside and outside)Wheelchair accessibility: Patio is gravel, so may not be the best from an accessibility standpoint.“

“One of my favorite bars in the area! I loved the dim lighting and comfortable seating. They had plenty of space and the service was great! We got the charcuterie board which was cheap/pretty tasty. Definitely recommend for a chill night out.“

“This place was excellent. Brisket was on point along with the cowboy beans.Their white bbq sauce is where it’s at with the brisket.Also. Shout out to service. First time here and they were invested in making sure it was a good experience.Nobody is going to leave here disappointed.“

“Review wrote by my 12 year old son "We thought it was a run of the mill restaurant then we got the food at it was the best food the bathrooms are great and the waiting area benches have real truck backs 5 stars recommend if you come to Cincinnati"“

“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!“

“I absolutely love Mios Anderson. They have a great selection of food and with Happy 2 Brewing, a great selection of beers. Their deep dish pizza is to die for. I love the pretzels and beer cheese. Their toppings are always fresh. My only wish is that they would post what they have on tap each week on their Facebook page.“
