Tucked away in the storied streets of Mount Adams, The Blind Lemon is a portal to a dreamy, bygone era. Step inside and be charmed by softly flickering candles, rustic brick walls, and an intimate outdoor patio adorned with twinkling fairy lights. With music and perhaps a bit of magic gently caressing the air, every visit feels like a fairytale --a secret escape where romance and nostalgia waltz in perfect harmony. Service Was Incredible!

Blind Lemon is such a vibe - hidden gem. The stained glass, copper, and wood paneling really transports you into another world. It feels like you should be in the mountains, not in Cincinnati which is really awesome feeling and experience when decoration can do that. The little miss sour cocktail is absolutely amazing and will be added to my top 10 cocktail list for sure! The waitress was so nice and had great recommendations. Live music was a plus, but kind of loud. I'll for sure be back!

As a former resident of Cincinnati, boy, do I miss the Blind Lemon. Its counterpart in Portland, ME, is Bramhall, another below-ground, dimly lit, eclectically-decorated cocktail bar that is incredibly charming, somehow never jam-packed, and always delicious. The ambience is what makes the Blind Lemon a go-to spot in Mount Adams. While you're dining, you're surrounded by autographed portraits of old-timey stars, stained glass, and a unique interior reminiscent of a local pub in London, perhaps. In the summer, the Hibiskiss is the way to go. They have great, hot drinks for winter as well--my personal favorite is the Snuggler (peppermint schnapps, cocoa), or the Hot Toddy.A must try for those looking for an elevated cocktail experience without the elevated price tag!

Hot buttered rum on a cold rainy evening was a great way to cap the girl's night out. Our server was attentive without being clingy and the popcorn was hot and fresh and came quickly. The only complaint was the second batch of popcorn was a little burnt. The live guitar music provided by Nicolas Tuttle was the cherry on top!

Great place! Wonderful music & local live acts. Kind of a "hole in the wall" comfy kind of neighborhood place. Small & might take some patience to get in, but if you're early & have no where to be, grab a chair at the end of the bar, and enjoy the entertainment!

A cute little spot in Mt. Adams. We walked down the alley to get to the bar and were quickly greeted by a man who sat us inside. He shared with us that we would have to sit at a table of 5 right inside the door even though we only had 2 and that we'd need to share the table - we were okay with this and said yes. Later on 2-top tables opened and I wish our servers would have offered to move us over to them and away from the open door where there was a cold breeze coming in. For beverages we had the Little Miss Sour, Hot Toddy, and another hot beverage with benedictine liqueur in it. The Little Miss Sour was very unique, the Cabernet Float was a fun touch. The hot drinks were nice for a cold winter night, the Benedictine drink had lots of unique flavors, and was sadly a little too hot when it first came out. The space is very eclectic with lots on the walls and ceilings to look at. The servers were very nice and attentive, and it's nice how they help move the tables to allow you better access into your seat as the place is so small. It gets very loud in the space especially with live music, but it's great that they offer live music at all. Overall a good experience and would love to come back and sit at inside in another part of the restaurant to get to experience the whole place.

Absolutely in love with this place. Visiting cincy for a concert and found the blind lemon on yelp. Wish we would have gotten there earlier and could have spent more time in the courtyard but it's an adorable space. Had an acoustic performer that was also very good.

If you're looking to drink at a bar with a quaint aesthetic to it, sit on an outdoor patio that'll have your hands clapping to the best live music while drinking a signature cocktail. Blind Lemon might be for you! Couple of things to note: if you come on a weekend with a large crowd it might make it very difficult for everyone to sit together. There is not a food menu, but surprise! They have popcorn to enjoy while you listen to the band! The staff is insanely nice and caring. The drinks might be a bit small to some, but are very strong. You're guaranteed to have a blast no matter what brings you to town.
