Killer Queen

The outdoor seating and booths inside offer plenty of space to sit with friends. We love the drinks here and the atmosphere. There are always plenty of bartenders to help you. The best time to stop by is later in the evening but it's also fine stopping during the day before a game at the stadium.

Last night, I had the pleasure of trying Killer Queen in the Banks District for the first time, and I was absolutely impressed by the stunning atmosphere and amazing venue. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. However, the drink I tried wasn't the greatest. I think there's an opportunity to refine the bar program and create some truly excellent, crafty cocktails--exactly what the Banks needs. With just a little tweaking, they could easily become the go-to spot for top-notch drinks. I'll definitely be back!

We went there for my husbands reunion as a pre-event get together. The bartenders were amazing. The service was great and I thought the pizza was phenomenal, but my husband told me I probably had one too many drinks! But I thought the Pizza was super thin and crispy, and I loved it.

Fun place to stop before (after) a game. Happen to catch happy hour before a Reds game and the prices on their happy hour specials were very good. Staff was friendly. The vibe is '80's bar/club.

This place has a great location at the Banks with a cool design, definitely more for a weekend than a casual night with friends. I ordered the namesake drink--the Killer Queen cocktail and was disappointed. It came out bright pink with a sour candy stuck on top unlike on the menu that said elderflower with a rosemary sprig. When I questioned if it was the same drink, the bartender replied that the drink had been changed a while ago and the menu wasn't updated. Not sure if the rest of the drink was supposed to be the same but kinda defeats the point of a menu?! It was super sweet and I wouldn't order again.

Popped in here for a beer. Great selection overall. Very clean. Would love to come back.

Killer Queen is one of my friend groups' go to bars when down at The Banks. The outdoor seating area is great during the summer and allows for a break from the busy inside area. Upon entering, there is a massive Killer Queen neon sign that is great for pictures and the lighting is amazing. The booths surrounding the perimeter of the bar and face the center makes it easy for conversation or meeting new people. The bartenders are efficient and knowledgeable. Although it can get pretty busy before and after a Reds game, the bartenders do their best to keep up and there is even a To-Go ordering area out front so you can enjoy the rest of The Banks.

Went yesterday a couple hours before the reds game. It wasn't busy, the bartender looked like he was miserable but the drinks were great! Love the atmosphere and I had only been here one other time when it was super crowded.

I was extremely excited when coming down to the banks for the new bar, especially since I do not get down there often. The prices were competitive with the other bars down there and downtown in general and we even went on a Sunday when it was $4 House shots and we had both of those. The cocktails were good and shots were decent! Overall, the experience was great and staff was friendly. The vibe was a 10/10 and there was the option to order pizza and other finger foods. Just like everywhere down at the Banks, there might be a wait when they are little busier. While I do not see myself going here all the time, I think it is a place to stop in at least. A place to check out for sure!Full Walkthrough Here:https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrgOzBMp_Lw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Fantastic venue! Drinks were great, pizza was great, too. Super friendly staff, and manager Amanda rocks! While we were there a bunch of Cincinnati Cyclones hockey players were there, hanging out. Super-fun time!
