Bourbons Craft Kitchen And Bar

A Cozy Gem with Bold Flavors: A Dining Experience to RememberTucked into a bustling city street, this restaurant offers a truly unique dining experience that effortlessly blends bold flavors, attentive service, and a luxe, inviting atmosphere.The Meal:I opted for the fried chicken burger (a substitution for the signature Grippo's burger), served with crispy fries. The burger was a masterpiece--layers of muenster cheese, creamy coleslaw, crushed Grippo's chips, smoked bacon, and fancy sauce all tucked into a soft brioche bun. Pairing this with two expertly crafted Manhattans and three Weihenstephaner Hefeweizens rounded out the meal perfectly.The Verdict:Value (5/5): Generous portions and reasonably priced drinks make this spot a standout.Taste (5/5): Every bite was packed with flavor, and the drinks were perfectly balanced.Variety (4/5): The menu is small but curated, offering something for everyone.Uniqueness (5/5): The creative dishes here can't be found anywhere else in the city.Service (5/5): From the hostess to the manager, the staff delivered impeccable service.Atmosphere (5/5): Luxe décor and cozy vibes paired with street-level views and large windows make it a visual treat.Bonus: Guests couldn't stop raving about the Birria Chicken Tacos--a must-try for my next visit.At $71 for the entire meal, this dining experience felt like an indulgence without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a special occasion destination, this spot delivers on every front.

I'm not joking when I say this is the best burger in the city. They are always SO juicy but not sloppy. They season them very well and the toppings/bun are premium and fresh. Cooked to medium every time. Highly recommend the All American and the Grippos burger!They have sweet potato waffle fries and "crunchy coating" type fries that are always fresh and very crispy. They also season these very well with salt.There is an extensive liquor and beer selection and their cocktail menu is pretty good! On top of it all, the service is fantastic and I like the atmosphere! A little bit of an interesting choice with the slight country theme mixed with upscale, but it oddly works. Overall give this restaurant a 9.5/10 and it's a must try if you're downtown for a show or game!

Our server Emma was super! Food was fresh and well done. Great location downtown and decor is cool. We sat in a cute cozy velvet booth. Two things that were a bit off...1. Why have a cigar menu and no heaters on the patio to smoke them? They are missing out on dollars customers would spend on after dinner and after work smoke and cocktails 2. The overhead music doesn't match the theme. I felt like I was at a rave in Germany. Maybe a Chris Stapleton or Leon Bridges playlist??

We had a great first time experience. My initial impression was the sophistication of the room. The decor was simple but unique. I especially loved the blue seats in the booth. Our server was personable and funny. He helped us select items that we would enjoy. My husband ordered the flight of bourbons. Since I don't drink bourbon, I opted for a signature cocktail. The drinks did not disappoint. For my meal, I ordered the birria tacos. Yet another win. Lastly, my husband was given a surprise treat for his birthday. Everything was so perfect and put us on the path for a great evening.

We went to Bourbon's Craft Kitchen & Bar on the last night of Cincy Burger Week. I had read through all the burgers being offered that week and their Boursin Burger was high on my list of ones that I wanted to try.The restaurant is really cute with splashes of bright colors and lots of natural sunlight. I love the modern chandeliers. Between the decor and the downtown location, I was surprised they were playing country music; it really didn't hit the vibe.Our server was helpful and attentive and we even had two other people (I assume managers) check in on our table. The only snag we ran into is that I asked for no mushrooms and they still came on my burger.My husband and I both ordered the specialty burger: boursin cheese, black pepper aioli, arugula, candied red onion, mushrooms, and tomato on a pretzel bun. It was a bit messy to eat, but totally worth it!Before we left, the manager stopped back for a 2nd time and gave us a suggestion of what to try the next time we came in. I think we'll have to go back and try those tacos.

Such a cute little place in downtown Cincy! We tried this restaurant for a friends birthday and it did not disappoint. Austin was our server and brought all the vibes! Let me start by saying all of the appetizers we tried were sooo good! The shrimp was one of the best "dynamite/ bang-bang" shrimps I've ever had. The batter was absolutely delicious! My friends loved the poutine and the potstickers were good as well. The espresso martini was your typical flavor. I really liked the dry rub wings but thought they could lighten up on the dry rub. It was almost too much of the seasoning on those. Some of my friends tried the spiritless raspberry margarita and said it tasted spiked although it wasn't and they thought the salted caramel waffle and ice cream was just okay. I got the cheesecake and loved it! The only negative was it took 30 plus minutes for the cheesecake to come out and it wasn't chilled. Overall, I would come back again. They also have happy hour M-F 3-6pm.

We had a really nice dinner here! The food was really good, the drinks were really great too, I thought the inside was really unique and cool, and everyone we talked to who worked there was so nice and friendly. They even let my friend try a sample of wine while we were deciding if we should order a bottle to share or not!

We visited the Bourbon Kitchen in Cincinnati for dinner one evening after trying the one in Middletown months prior. This location had just opened so we were a little nervous, but the food & service did not disappoint. We started with the dynamite shrimp which was amazing! I chose a different burger in Cincinnati than I did in Middletown; the truffle & Gouda burger. It was super yummy! Their cocktail menu is upscale, had the old fashioned made with buffalo trace bourbon. The ambiance was really neat with red leather booths and really cool chandeliers! Fun atmosphere and feels more upscale but without paying high end restaurant prices. Definitely a more fancy burger joint! Our server was friendly and did a great job!

Great spot for pre-show dinner. Wonderful burgers, fries, chicken, and salads. Our entire party enjoyed their meals. Polite and quick service.

Eat here! Wow food and drinks were amazing. I had a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives - perfection. Husbands espresso martini was unreal.For food, we started with the dry rub wings and they were unbelievable. We shared the truffle and Gouda burger and a side southwest salad - both so recommended. Then they surprised us with dessert and it was phenomenal. JD is the best waiter ever - gave us the best recs and made our night so fun, thank you!
