Great place in Ft Thomas to come on for a beer and a game on the TV. Just a great local tavern feel. Street parking 2 hr limited but I say screw it... you're enforcing the local businesses. Have a drink, strike up some conversation on Reds, Bengals.... Heck anything and get into the local vibe.

Love The Pub. The staff is wonderful- Mike and Nate are the nicest guys around. I head up every Wednesday for Trivia which starts at 9pm. It's always fun and challenging. Prices for drinks aren't bad, there's free FRESH popcorn and plenty of TVs. The only thing I don't enjoy is the smoke... but it's in KY, so whatcha gonna do?

First, as someone who always pays with a credit card I must say that you have to run up a $10 check before you can cash out. It's clearly not that difficult, but it bears being said. The Pub is your average local bar. Nothing spectacular on tap or in bottles, but a decent selection. A pool table, darts, the occasional karaoke and one of those digital jukeboxes round it out. I've only seen one bartender every time I come here and he's great. Friendly and is willing to help. Case in point: a friend was meeting me and a few others at the pub and he had turkey and cheese with him (I have no idea why) and instead of letting it rot in his car the bartender let him store it in their refrigerator. A nice guy indeed.The Pub also has bar trivia (a favorite of mine) on Wednesdays at 9pm.It's not a place I would go out of my way to go to, but it's nice every once in a while.

A classic bar that can get crowded on the weekends. As of late it has become a bit of a hipster bar on Karaoke nights. Still a great neighborhood bar to grab a pint at.Ask for Nate, his extensive knowledge of pin ball will keep you entertained during your stay.

No frills, no fuss. Olde Fort Pub (or the Fort Thomas Pub as everyone calls it) is just the way an old school tavern should be. Pool table, dart board, Golden Tee, good jukebox and a fried-food kitchen to top it off. The bartenders here are always friendly and pretty good with remembering faces. My most memorable time at the Fort Thomas Pub is attending their annual chili cook-off. Regulars take this event very seriously and the competition is hot. There are typically a dozen or so contestants and everyone at the bar is welcome to try a bowl. Also, during Lent, the Pub fries up a mean fish sandwich and French fries, drawing a crowd of devotees every Friday night.If you're looking for an unpretentious, casual bar, look no further than Olde Fort Pub.

The outdoor seating is a nice addition and the place is very spacious. The bar staff is friendly and attractive. When I ordered a Woodford on the rocks they didnt have any in stock which was disappointing. I settled for Makers and they poured it in a tiny shot glass. Look, I dont mind paying for liquor so if uou need to charge more to put it in a highball glass then so be it. The crowd is a nice mix of young and old and the TV's are nice. If it wasnt so far from my crib I would frequent more but since the police like to sit and wait outside I gotta make sure I have a ride. Oh they did have a DJ spinning tunes last weekend and they have live music as well.

The place is nice. I like how they are no longer doing the smoking thing inside. That helps. Drinks are fairly priced. Used to be my place to hang when I was younger, now days, the crowd is way too young for myself. Great place though and ownership is cool.

My sister and I stopped into the olde fort pub based on previous reviews and after going to a very busy bar up the street (Midway Cafe). Our time there was okay but the place was very large with little to no crowd. The radio was playing oldies on a Friday night. The bartenders seemed pretty bored and not much of conversationalists considering the crowd. It appeared the BBQ place inside had closed and there was no longer live music. All in all, I wouldn't deter someone from visiting but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way.
