Great atmosphere. Good beer selection. They had a Miller Highlife special, 2 for 4 bucks. Great burgers.

This place is a hidden jewel of NorthSide. My friend hipped me to this place and I am now a big fan. They have a great food menu, try the salmon salad sandwich, heavenly!!! It's so good. They have great wonderful drinks. The bartender know what they are doing. Happy hours drinks Deals are the best. 4-7. You gotta come see that for yourself. It's a cute retro place and it may just be your favorite spot too. . They have a patio in the back that is also awesome as well! Come check it out! I'm mad I didn't know about this place before this week!

Mellow bar in Northside serving up great food from a limited but tempting menu. I opted for the sesame noodles and can't stop thinking about them. They were so good, I inhaled them before I could take a photo. The small serving is very generous but I want to go back for a larger serving one day soon. My husband really liked his cheeseburger and my daughter's salmon salad was excellent. Order at the bar and a server brings the food to you. Indoor and sheltered outdoor spaces. Recommended!

Fantastic good and drinks. This was my second visit and I brought friends because it's so tasty. But it was not quite as great as last time. The food was outstanding. Burgers, noodles, salmon sandwich, all were great! I had a side salad that was incredibly fresh and so perfectly balanced. A couple things disappointed this time - service and the lack of local draft beers, The bartenders seemed more interested in taking care of regulars at the bar vs anyone else. We waited 5 minutes for someone to take our order standing next to the bar while 'regulars' walked up, sat down and had their orders taken. I was so surprised by this - completely unlike my first experience here. Next up, local beers? There are some great locally owned breweries (e.g. Humble Monk) and they only offered two beers on tap. It's a missed opportunity for local businesses to support each other and to offer a better variety of draft beers. The food and drink are a FIVE. Our service experience was a ONE. So, I'd give this place a 3 based on my latest experience.

Okay, I have to admit I don't make it to Northside very often at all and if not for @cincyeats on IG I may not have even heard about Gulow Street for quite some time just because I feel like Northside does a pretty good job of keeping their Hidden Gems, well, hidden (which I love, so I'm sorry if this messes with that vibe)! But because I love a great breakfast sandwich I ventured over this morning for their weekly (Wednesdays from 7-11a) breakfast sandwich morning and OH MY GOODNESS! This was one of THE BEST sandwiches (breakfast or not) that I've ever eaten! I ordered their Masala Egg Sandwich and it left me impatiently counting down the days until I can go back again for another! The flavors blended together seamlessly and tasted like they were always meant to belong together; the ciabatta was fresh and delicious; and the owner/staff were friendly and inviting. All of this to say that I 100% will not be sleeping on their regular dinner menu from now on! If the breakfast sandwich was as good as it was, I can't wait to try the rest!

I really like Gulow Street, but my boyfriend LOOOOOVES it. It's a bit off the beaten path, but worth a detour. They don't have an extensive menu, but all that's on there is good. The BF is a huge fan of the burger... I don't know that over ever seen him order anything else. As for me, I think I've ordered almost everything on the menu or close to it. The egg sandwich is great. The rigatoni bolognese is delish. the salmon salad sandwich is delicious. My fave was the ham and butter sandwich, but I had them add pimento cheese to it, and that made it Oh! I haven't had the sesame noodles yet. Guess I know what I'm getting next time!

Salmon salad sandwich is top tier and the staff is absolutely amazing! Drinks are superb and a lowkey atmosphere! Go there already!

Gulow Street is located at the corner of Hoffner and you guessed it Gulow St. This place is small but mighty in terms of menu and space. This is a pub with some very creative seating out back which gives you dining options. You order at the bar and they give you a number and they bring the food out to you. The bar staff were nice and took time to explain things to us and took our orders and made recommendations, which was much appreciated. My wife opted for the Basil Paloma and loved it. She enjoys subtle drinks and this fit the bill. They have a nice selection of beers which is surprising considering the size of the place. We both chose the Cheeseburger and added bacon with me also adding chips, I love a sandwich with chips, and the food came out fairly quickly despite them being busy. This burger was juicy and enjoyable to say the least. The burger is a must have and made the night great.Tips to make your visit a success:1) Don't forget about Happy hour. We went for Happy hour and the deals they offered can be passed on. Two dollar beer (Miller High Life) and Three dollar well drinks are right up my alley.2) Wednesday is fried egg sandwich day. On Wednesdays they open at seven am and the serve breakfast. Don't miss out.This place will be your new go to spot in no time!!

Great, cheap burgers, but super rude service. We ordered food and a fancy drink and then went out to their patio, but never got the drink. After we were done eating I went inside to ask about the $12 drink and the bartender rolled her eyes and said, "what drink?" I was trying to be polite and asked for a refill on my coke, and she rolled her eyes about that, too. The place wasn't busy at all, no reason to be mean. When you order food, stick around and wait for your drink. Better yet, spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

Chill vibe w/ a cool staff and a great straight-ahead menu with a burger you could eat every day. Recommend a fried egg on the sesame noodles and never hesitating on any soup special they might have.
