Arnolds Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (386) • $$

"A step into Cincy history always a good time. Service and food very good. Crowded sometimes but in a fun way."

The Dublin Pub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (425) • $$

"Stopped by the Oregon District Car Show before we walked up to the St. Anne's German Fest. We decided to stop in to the Dublin Pub for lunch given the day was so beautiful Never a bad day on the patio when it's a cool mid-70s in the summer. A cold Guinness to chase some Jameson is always a good combo for some day drinking. A Reuben and Fish-n-Chips is all we needed to recharge before hitting the festival in search of a cool Stein!"

Minglewood

★★★★☆ 4.2 (150) • $$

"The food, decor and service are stellar! I was born and raised in Lexington, but moved to Georgia after graduating undergrad where I have remained since. We didn't have anything as unique, inviting with such engaging service when I was growing up and going to school in Lex! This collage is from a trip in 2017 and I still think of this place often 7 years later. I only wish I could stop in at least once a week for a bite and the exceptional, kind and genuine people that work and tend to patronize this one of a kind place! Can't recommend enough - if you're considering just do it!"

Northside Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.2 (118) • $$

"Northside Tavern is a good neighborhood bar. It's located in a hipster neighborhood, but this is very casual. The bar hosts a lot of local bands. It's a good music venue considering it's a dive bar. The atmosphere is good for conversation or listening to live music. I had a whiskey and Coke. It was only about $3 for a good size glass. The happy hour is good, and it's usually not loud until later. In the middle of the week it's a lot quieter, except sometimes if there's a show. Many times even then it won't be that loud though. It has multiple rooms all with varying loudness. The front of the bar is the rowdiest. It has a quieter lounging area in the middle. The courtyard is the nicest place. It's a little better than a pure dive bar. It's kept up s lot better. This is a good place for seeing local bands cheap."

Heather's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (80) • $$

"While visiting from out of town, we were looking for a spot for breakfast that didn't have a 30-40 min wait ‍ I'm so glad we found Heather's! The cafe is in an old house in an adorable, quaint little downtown. I had read another review that mentioned ordering at the counter and then seating ourselves, but they actually had us sit at any table and then brought us menus. I got a cinnamon sugar latte which was just lovely and got my day off to a great start. For breakfast we each got the southwestern tortilla which was DELICIOUS. The sauce was super tasty, and it was a satisfying breakfast without being too much food. Notably they have several vegetarian options on the menu!Heather's was right up my alley and is the perfect little brunch or lunch spot - or just for coffee. Definitely would recommend!"

Tin Roof

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (155) • $$

"Tin roof is always a good time. Just a cool place with a fun atmosphere. The food is killer and the drinks are priced well. Even when it's packed we get pretty good service. Plus who doesn't like a place with live music. I must try for sure"

The Garage Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (99) • $$

"We love the garage pub for live music most nights of the week (maybe every night?) They have a great patio in the summer and allow dogs out there. My favorite is the sweet potato fry wedges. They come with caramel dipping sauce but the best move is an order of house-made ranch. Really order the ranch with anything. It's so good. They should bottle and sell it. Street parking in downtown Columbus is usually easy unless there is an event going on. This is one of our favorite spots as locals and we hope to see you there!"

MVP Sports Bar & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.6 (86) • $$

"So entering into MVP you will find a pretty large sports bar kind of place. They have live music on the weekends and open stage on Wednesdays. We went on Monday of Cincinnati Burger Week. They didn't seem as though they were overly prepared. Our server was not familiar with the beer special along with having no clue what kind of drafts beers they had. She only knew the brewery but didn't know what type of beers they had nor did she offer to find out. We ordered beers and two of us ordered the jalapeño cream cheese burger and a Sargent pepper cheese burger. We had tater tots and fresh cut French fries. Overall the burgers were tasty. The Sergeant Pepper was the preferred out of the two. The food was good and I would recommend stopping in and giving it a try."

Sis's On Monmouth

★★★★☆ 3.5 (83) • $

"Just loved our breakfast experience at Sis's on a Saturday morning. What a cute space that was overflowing with regulars. It was our first visit to this establishment and it was obvious that so many others had found it before us. I got blueberry pancakes which were hot and delicious plus their homemade biscuits which were very tasty. The biscuits came with a homemade peach jam which I enjoyed. The reason for 3 stars was due to lack of service and the length of time we had to wait on our food to be brought to our table which was over an hour. Due to this we won't be back."

Little York Tavern & Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3 (94) • $$

"Start spreading the news,I'm longing to strayRight to the very heart of it Little York, Little York!Something about this tavern really appeals to me. Yeah, it's a little divey, a little dark, a bit grungy and definitely kitschy in the decor department. But the atmosphere is classic hangout bar and I like it.You've got the bar itself of course, three sided, leading into the big saloon room with lots of tables, big screen TV and two pool tables. TouchTunes jukebox. There's also a kind of game room with claw prize grabbing boxes and shooting games.I observed a second large dining room separate and apart. This was not open on either weekend afternoon when I was here so not sure what the deal is there. Give me the barroom!Then of course there's the patio- a covered patio with plenty of seating that has its own bar. So much fun to sit out here! Tables are always open, with service. Outdoor bar opens as scheduled depending on the day. There are speakers of course, and it seems that it'll be open well into cold weather as I saw lots of heaters and the plastic roll downs standing by.Menu includes most everything you'd expect, lots of sandwiches and apps, and some surprises like spaghetti. They've also got the GF/keto friendly cauliflower pizza crust available, and the many toppings include anchovies! They also understand the meaning of "pie cut" for your pizza. I enjoyed my properly cut, anchovy topped pizza very much, thank you.There is frequent live music or DJs here. It's a chillaxing kind of place where you want to linger. And worthy of my 500th review."

Mansion Hill Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (48) • $

"Big fans of this historical building with a continuous lineup of musical talent, largely blues based. Small inside, especially with bands having 5+ members. Great neighborhood spot."

The Redmoor

★★★★☆ 4.2 (39) • $$

"Great fun for a comedy show. Saw Pat Godwin from Bob & Tom radio show and he was a blast. Fun songs and audience interaction because we were "right there". Vip seating worth being up front highly recommended. Servers were great and quick. No longing for a drink once empty or even just near empty. Awesome! Didn't have food but folks nearby all head clean plates so I assume good grub too!"

Madison Theater

★★★☆☆ 3 (69) • $$

"I've only been to the Madison Theater once and I was there for Tape B, an EDM artist whom I love, and the show did not disappoint. The theater is located in a nice area with many bars and restaurants nearby. I stopped in a brewery and dive bar before heading there and all were in walking distance. The line to get in moved fairly quickly and once inside I went straight to the bathroom and then to the bar to grab a drink before settling in. The restroom was small, but not terribly unsightly and the bar was also small with pretty long lines. Nothing too crazy to report there. I'll also add that my ticket was around $40, which was cheaper than the other two venues I recently saw the same artist at in other cities in Ohio. That's a win. I would definitely describe myself as a pit girl so I made my way down the stairs to get front and center for the show. The sound and production was all really great. All in all, I would totally catch another show here if an artist I love happens to be playing here that I can't catch in Columbus."

Bar Granada

★★★★☆ 4 (35) • $$

"Bar Granada is a cool modern bar/restaurant in Downtown Dayton. The space itself is stunningly beautiful and very inviting. It has a very upscale feel to it. The staff are very friendly and great with explaining the menu and drink options. The menu is somewhat limited/small with a South American theme but it seems that they've hit gold with the selections on offer. We started with the Guacamole and it was delicious, fresh and bursting with flavor. For entree I had the Birria Bowl and it was pretty great. It definitely was not a traditional Birria which is very stew like but still delicious. Overall I will definitely be back to Bar Granada and I'd absolutely recommend them."

Stanley's Pub

★★★★☆ 3.6 (37) • $

"Great venue for up coming bands!!! Great sound in the room. Yes it has a bit narrow quarters but it's just right!! They have an outdoor patio that you can get away to chat a bit with your fellows. They have a plethora of alcohol drinks!! I had their Wild Turkey bourbon straight which is one of my favorites that has a huge kick so ladies be careful unless your tough to handle it!! Enjoying the music tonight!! Stringbreakers and Stuffbreakers band from Brazil They made their first debut in the States at Stanley's Pub!! How awesome.....the manager has a huge heart and was a pleasure to meet all of them!! Gone Solo!!"

J.D. Legends

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (51) • $$

"Went to a concert and loved it! Took girls from work! It was a fun night. They danced a lot!"

The Show on 42

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (32) • $$

"We've driven past WPS for over a dozen years, and after a New Management Sign went up we decided to give it a try. We are glad we did! A good selection of beers, including some of the local breweries and a good selection of harder drinks. There's live entertainment on Friday-Sunday evenings, local talent but pretty good. The food portions are large, and tasty. The best part is that this is a true bar! You won't be run over by hordes of unsupervised children running amok!!!"

Knotty Pine Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (13) • $

"Top live music venue at the corner of Blue Rock and Cheviot. They have live acoustic Wed and Thurs and then full bands 9-1 on Fri and Sat. Super fun place with pool tables and killer sound and light shows for the bands. Check them out!!"

Trillions Sports Bar And Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (11)

"Great band atmosphere. Great musicians on our night. Food was really good. Quesadilla was made with love. Boneless wing basket was generous and great batterReal people. This is us."

KJ's Pub

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (20) • $$

"Locals kind of bar. Nothing to shake a stick at. The food was typical bar food but after seeing the bathrooms I wish I would have not eaten there."
