".......top notch everything. Meatloaf was amazing, charcuterie board was great ( Wagyu salami!!). Freestyled a drink and the bartender nailed it ( Whiskey Smash mojito + egg white ). Best place on Mass Ave, by far."
"A step into Cincy history always a good time. Service and food very good. Crowded sometimes but in a fun way."
"I love a good patio and Black Circle fits the bill! They have a huge lawn area with 6 (ish) picnic tables and several high top chairs on the patio. Lots of people land here after riding their bicycles so you can anticipate a big crowd of people just hanging out drinking brews post ride. It is just the perfect spot to do just that! Have to share that Black Circle hosts a comedy show every Sunday night. They start any time between 8-830p. I laughed LOUD and HARD during the show. Seriously funny. Where do they even find so many comedians around? The stage is set up outside so you can bring your lawn chair or blanket and enjoy FREE entertainment. Also, twinkle lights. They had me at twinkle lights. I had such a great time last week and will be back soon!"
"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!"
"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."

Ambiance: Came here with a big party and enjoyed the atmosphere. They do a good job of using mixed textures and materials so it has a upscale feel while still being casual and relaxed environment. The tables are generously spaced and the music obtrusive so it was very easy to have a conversation across the table without yelling. Our server was excellent, making helpful recommendations and making sure drinks were refilled. Food: We shared their two poutine offerings and found both very enjoyable. The pastrimi one is obviously heartier and more savory but the chiliquiles one was also very good with a brighter tangier sauce. The fries have a little crisp to them but have more of that frites texture than your standard american fry. Many of us got the lamb shank and I was the odd one out who wasn't a big fan. The dish itself is well composed with a creamy corn fundido, flavorful tomatillo salsa, and pickled onions all complementing each other extremely well. I would have ordered the fundido as entire side-dish if it was available, it was that good. Texturally, the lamb was perfectly cooked and easily pulled from the shank into bite-sized pieces. The only thing that ruined my experience was the noticeable gamey-ness of the lamb which I'm not normally sensitive to as I eat goat and lamb on most menus I find it on. Again, none of the other 5 people who got the dish seemed to notice so maybe it was just a fluke.Despite me not liking the lamb, I liked everything else about the restaurant. Their sauces in particular are impeccable, their portions are appropriate for the price, their preparation of the ingredients equally superb. They impressed me with everything besides the lamb flavor that I would gladly come back again and try other things on their menu.

We went to Arnold's on a Saturday afternoon for Cincy Burger Week. We were seated in the beautiful courtyard area, which I love. The fans kept things cool enough on a hot sunny day. Our server, Becca, was very attentive and even made it a point to check if we liked our beers before the food came. I had the burger special and added fries. Everything was delicious and clearly homemade. I also had a Guinness which was perfectly poured. Arnold's just recently started serving lunch again and as a downtown employee I'll be sure to take advantage of their reasonable prices, homemade food and historic ambiance. I also appreciate the number of vegetarian options for those seeking options. Highly recommend!!

First time coming here for a planned event and the venue did not disappoint! The atmosphere was just right for the planned DJ. Music was phenomenal, drinks were on point and staff were very amigable. The decorations of the venue were awesome! They had vintage VHS movies and even a TV in which to play them! Pinball in the back with a small restaurant for a quick snack, and they sold merch as well. I would visit here for a regular night and check them out again. Had a blast with friends on a weekend. My favorite part was the bathrooms covered in stickers (:

The folks working there were great even understaffed. The food was just ok. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. The place itself was like going back to the 1960s.

Such a nice little venue! We were here with friends last night for a show and it was a great time. We had a table and ordered drinks and food before the show started. While the food was definitely way better than we expected - it's not awesome. But we weren't there for the dinner experience. We were here for a show. The Old Fashioned I had was very good. I only had the one and sipped it all night but everyone else had a variety of cocktails and beers and had no complaints. Our server was fantastic. Friendly and quick. Everyone that worked there was friendly. My husband mentioned again this morning that he really liked the venue, had a nice time and thought the service was great. We would definitely return for more live music.

Sports is good for dancing on Thursday and Saturday nights in particular. There will be a cover on these nights, but it's only $5 unless there is a major event. The dancin is upstairs in "the jungle". It's a very big bar, with a lot of different rooms and different feels. Wednesday nights they offer bingo and $1 tacos. The tacos are surprisingly great- lots of unique options and a good size! Sports usually doesn't have any great drink specials, not always some average ones. Make sure to ask at one of the several bars.

"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."
"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!"
"Of all the drink and food specials that abound in this wonderful college town, Kilroys Sports' 321 Wednesday reigns supreme! $3 for a 3 Floyds Alpha King? Yes! $2 for double wells? Might regret that choice tomorrow! $1 for gourmet tacos that are are so damned tasty that I'd happily pay the regular menu price for them? Oh, hell yes!Two thumbs way up to Chef Andre for the killer tacos!And if you haven't done it already Kilroy, give Bartender Jack a big fat raise for his warm and welcoming service!!"
"Official opened on April 8, 2015, Jimmy Peoni has brought another rad music venue to showcase the Indianapolis music scene. The man behind Gloryhole Records has big plans and has already showcased a multitude of epic shows by both local and touring acts, including Mr. Clit and the Pink Cigarettes, Dirtbike, Chives, Pravada, We Are Hex, Ancient Slang, Thee Tsunamis, Vacation Club, Devil to Pay, Shelby County Sinners, The Smokes (to name a few) and the first show I saw there; Chicago's The Hussy. The atmosphere is chill and unassuming, allowing all (21+) to feel welcome and cross genres, with a vast collection of his own memoriabilia adorning the walls and stalls. If his smile and charm weren't enough, grab a beer and check out the menu. I hear the cheeseburgers are some of the best in town! It's not a bad deal to have too many options for entertainment around town, on most any day of the week. Spread the word and get there if you haven't already. They're open Tue - Thur 11:00 AM - Midnight, Lunch served. Fri & Sat 11:00 AM - 1 or 2 AM, Lunch and Dinner Served."
"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!!!"
