Alive & Well

Per usual I tend to stumble upon places being the neighborhood and alive & well is no exception! What first drew me to this spot the dope neon Skelton hand sign, the lack of brand naming on the outside is actually very satisfying. The lady and myself ended up sliding in for a quick brew. Not a big selection of beer as this is a cocktail bar, but you can expect a couple ipas and mid to light lagers. On our second visit after a night out, I decide to try a cocktail (that doesn't appear to be in the menu any more) that was a tequila base, strong and delicious. The Bartenders have always been enjoyable, on point and have great service . New favorite spot to pull up to for sure!

Visited on a Saturday night around 9:30 PM and it was pretty crowded. There was a mix of patrons - some folks who looked younger and college age, but also an older crowd. Overall the place at this time was very calm/chill. The place itself is very nice and you can tell they spent time in making the aesthetic flow. Also great they have big outdoor street seating area. The bar is stocked with everything! It seemed like they had every liquor, wine, aperitif, etc. that you could ever want. I opted for a classic martini, while my partner had the seasonal margarita which was apple-spice. Drinks were $10/$11 so not too expensive. Only downfall here is parking, as it took us a long time to find a spot nearby to be able to walk over to bar.

Very cool hangout place in Ludlow, can confirm that you can safely hide from drunk UC college kids here, mostly fun and interesting adults. The vibe is very chic, Speakeasy like. Love the morbid, skeleton decor. Their vinyl collection is supreme and the charcuterie board is a banger. The whiskey cocktail with the smoky cinnamon bark was yummy and the service is fast with hardworking bartenders. Will be visiting them soon on vinyl night.

Too noisy! Went to a Christmas party that rented a part of the bar. Too crowded and couldn't reach all the food service was good. They have a few comfortable chairs and couches. Good size wine pours.

Yes, me likey! I love the coziness of this spot. Been dying to come in and finally had the opportunity. The service was good, the artist behind the bar were talented. I had seasonal margarita which was apple cider base and it was amazing. Second round I tried a traditional margarita. It was very tasty as well. I love fresh ingredient drinks. I can't remember the name of tthe drink my friend had but she loved it and had a second round as well. They offer outside seating too with firepit!

I love, love, love this cozy little spot! The bartenders there are so nice and friendly, they give great drink recommendations, and they make GREAT DRINKS!! The ambiance there is so dope and artsy. The happy hour is amazing as well with their $5 old fashioned. It's a great place to meet up with a friend or two and just catch up. Even the music selection is always good, a little something being played for everyone!

A craft cocktail lounge with vibes to die before, but you'll be alive and well to enjoy them. It's almost like a speak easy with the dim lighting, but the decor has hints of spooky skeleton vibes with glam elegance.They have classics but also rotating specials that are each handmade in front of you. They were incredibly delicious. And they're cheaper than my hometown and reasonably priced which was awesome. I personally didn't interact with the 2 bartenders, but my boyfriend ordered and got them in a reasonable time. Craft cocktails take time so there is some wait time to be expected and totally worth it.

Looking for the grown & sexy crowd in the middle of a college town? This...is......it! I looooved this place! Experienced bartenders, Kyle gave awesome customer service but also made a killer dirty martini. Lots of fresh ingredients in jars all over the bar, love me a fresh cocktail. How has this place been hiding from me all these months? I can't wait to go back...seriously. Seems like they have lots of regulars as well. If you park a few blocks away from Ludlow, you will find free parking in the residential area. Definitely in my top 5 for sure. Their sister bar is Hannaford in Covington.

Light bites but amazingly creative cocktails. Personable but not pushy bartenders. Cool and funky decor, vinyl music, lively ambiance.

Tucked away in the charm of Ludlow, Alive & Well is a great spot to grab a cocktail, hang out and enjoy some good vibes.
