Stanley's Pub

Sometimes you just want a good little local dive bar to enjoy some cheap drinks and some good music. I'm honestly surprised my lady and I hadn't been here sooner, but when I found out Hot Like Mars was playing here live recently, I knew we had to go.The place itself feels like a classic local dive bar for sure. I can tell there are a plethora of regulars so they're definitely doing something right. They also have an outdoor patio with lots more seating. They have a small stage near the front inside and feature lots of live music on weekends. Their beer selection is pretty nice, wine list isn't nearly as big but has a couple nice selections, and of course there's a full bar loaded with spirits. The bartenders were are very friendly and attentive even with how busy and loud it was while the band played their set. Plus the price we paid for our libations was very nice. I may be a beer geek but I'm not above a $3 Miller High Life.I think this is now one of my top dive bars in my area. Is it THE TOP? I might need another visit to make that decision. I'm sure my lady won't be against another visit.

Why have I not come here before?! I've missed out on so much. My Mr. discovered a band on Instagram and they happened to be playing here at Stanley's Pub. The timing was great!This is your neighborhood dive bar and this will definitely be our go to if we wanna just grab some drinks. Or watch a band!They have a full bar, with beers on tap or bottled. Great wine selection too! We were shocked with the bill at the end of the night because it was cheap! The inside is small but has so much to offer. Their outdoor patio is also relaxing and inviting. At the time they had an outdoor food truck. A fan and can't wait to go back!

Bottled beer was as if it wasnt cold enough, good music from Jam Band Jovi, but i had a creep who said unnecessary comments that made me leave after being uncomfortable. Bartender was easy going and did not bad service either . With my encounter, i wonder how much that guy had to drink - not sure if she cut him off ? The back outdoor setting was nice and chill - maybe the highlight with exceiption of the music tonight .Id traditionally give a 3 star, but going to lower it a bit cause of the uncomfortable experience ... if a man feels creeped out, cant imagine how a feel would've felt .

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!!

The people in this place were SOOOO NICE! Bartenders and patrons. Random strangers saying hello. I was so overwhelmed with kindness. I went on a Sunday when they had their jam. They told me music 7 days a week, jam on Sunday. I got there late and still saw 4 jam acts come up. Singer songwriters, jam folks, and C&W guys & gals. It was great fun live music. Wesley the bartender, whom I now have permission to call Wes LOL, was super nice. He was prompt with service and a real nice guy to talk to. I couldn't have felt more welcome. Whatup Wes?!? LOLThere aren't many people here who will judge you for anything as long as you're kind. I literally wandered into circles and met people just by arriving within their sight. Shoutout to Nick and Wolf as being the friendliest patrons I met tonight. I'm new to the neighborhood from nearby Dayton and have always heard good things about this place. They're all true. This is my newfound bar in my new Cincinnati home.

When you close your eyes and picture a neighborhood bar... This is probably what comes to mind. Cheap beer ($1.50 bottles during happy hour) and the basics when it comes to cocktails. The back porch is amazing! They could use some nicer furniture, but the landscaping and tall fences make you forget that your so close to civilization. I couldn't stick around late enough to hear the live music but they have some impressive acts coming to town judging for the posters on the walls!Check this place out of you want to get away from your usual spot.

Stopped in with a friend to check out the Trash Grass Boys. Name of the band piqued my interest. Facebook said band would start at 9 pm... arriving at 10, band still had not started. I think they started at 11 or so. The band was located inside and it was very crowded and small, so we only stayed inside for 1 song. Then we went outside and sat at a patio, where a guy sat down at our table, pulled out a bunch of weed, and started rolling a joint, making zero attempt to hide it. He even went on to inform me that he could roll a joint with his eyes closed while driving. Stanley's didn't need to hire a comedian, this guy was awesome and free! But seriously, it's a comfortable, friendly, dive bar, but be warned that lots of people smoke there and it ain't just cigarettes. The smell and smoke got overwhelming after awhile for those of us not partaking!

This place is like going back in time when bars knew how to rock! It's a reliable watering hole for anyone that needs a landing pad. On slow nights it is a nice refuse.

The good-relaxed atmosphere, for the most part. -cool place to see up and coming bands. -the bartender really gave us the liquor in our drinks that we paid for (some places seem to skimp on alcohol). -loved the patio area, it was the best place to hang out there. -plenty of parking space (parked across the street). The bad-$5 cover charge at the door to see the show.-the bartender was not as attentive as I would've liked... I was waiting for a few minutes and had to keep calling out to him to place my order. The ugly -needs renovated... especially inside where the bar is. -BATHROOMS. Need updated and cleaned. It was something I avoided going to unless I really needed to.

We went there last night to listen to some music. Even though there was only 50 minutes left of music, we were charged the full cover. We went outside where the band played 2 songs, then took a break and sat at a table with their friends and smoked pot from a pipe. Without telling me, my wife went inside and asked for our money back and was ridiculed and laughed at by the older bartender and her local patrons. Nasty people who deserve each other.This place used to have a good reputation but now it is a nasty dive. Not a place I would recommend to anyone. Stay away!!!
