Gypsy's Mainstrasse

Super, dog friendly bar with a welcoming atmosphere, amiable staff, affordable drinks, a nice outdoor space and popcorn!

Covington, KY is a super cool place - who knew? After a rough morning in that city across the river, I walked across the imitation Brooklyn Bridge into Kentucky, and walked over here looking for a place to decompress. Mind you, this is about 1PM on a Thursday, so not everything was going to be open.But Gypsy's was. Naturally it wasn't super busy at the time, just the bartender and two lovers on the back patio, but it was chill, and the drafts were working, and there was sports on television, and nobody to concern troll me. I only wish this place were closer to California.

Greta karaoke Wednesdays beautiful back patio and great drip Fashow . Great drink princess and great pregame bar for sure

One of my favorite gem in Mainstrausse in Covington. The atmosphere is always fun and filled with all kinds of beer decor. The bartenders always make you feel welcome. They always have drink specials. It's a great place for drinks and then hit one of the many restaurants in the area.

Bartender was super nice. He got our drinks quick. We came and only got a beer. The bar was packed but it's really not a huge bar. They had frozen bull watermelon margaritas for $8 but I did not try it. I did see other guest drinking it. I went with my usual bud light. It was good. I did see that they served other guest food. We did not get a menu so not sure what the menus consisted of. This place is mainly for drinks I did not see any pool tables. They had a downstairs but it's only for staff. Prices for drinks are reasonable.

This was unfortunately a terribly disrespectful experience. I'll start off by saying the bouncer was actually the best employee here. Here goes our experience., we came here at the end of the night and as I was finishing up my drink with my friends at 1:50ish (they close at 2:30) the bartenders were very rude and made comments at me saying "she's one of those" after paying for my drink and trying to finish it. It was extremely rude and wasn't professional. I mentioned that they were being very unprofessional with the way they were talking to us, and they immediately (blonde woman behind bar and "owner") told us we needed to go because we drank too much .The male bartender was claiming to be the "owner", and laughed when I claimed an owner wouldn't act in the manner he was displaying especially because I was with a group of people who had just spent a lot of money on shots celebrating a birthday. And all I was doing was finishing a drink when he said he wanted to "leave early and go home" And he started getting angry and one of my other friends asked for a lime for his drink and they said "sorry no I'm not going to help you." This is honestly the worst customer experience I've had at a bar. Whatever man and blonde woman working who claimed to be the owner that night were an embarrassing display of professionalism and if I was the actual owner of this bar, I'd fire these employees that are a LIABILITY to the business. This was the ABSOLUTE WORST BAR I've ever been to. I feel extremely disrespected, you should be embarrassed of these immature people working here.

I can't imagine anyone not having a great time at gypsys. It's that bar. Community is real and this is like your living room where someone else cleans.

One of the female bartenders denied service cause last time me and my friend were there, She didn't get a tip. horrible service

Bartender spoke to 3 male customers/friends for 10 solid minutes without checking on another soul. She then followed them to the back door to see their car, I suppose. When one in our party expressed her frustration with the amount of attention the males were receiving, the bartender stated "and you won't be getting served any time soon". Our party of 13 left without service.

Super cool atmosphere inside and out on the back patio. Beers were not as cheap as we hoped. Need new chairs on the back patio that are more comfortable. BUT.... loved the place so much it still gets 5 stars
