What a great find in Covington! There Gin drinks are next level - and we're British gin snobs They have a very wide selection of gins and are happy to make suggestions for you! In fact, the staff was some of the most knowledgeable bar staff we've encountered in the Cincinnati area! Highly recommend the French 75 if you're a gin newbie. They have live music weekly and the decor is wonderfully eclectic and cosy. Only downfall is parking is a pain! Try the whipped feta with hot honey, salads were tasty as well. I'd love a little larger tapas selection but it is more of a bar than restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

The vibe here is immaculate! They specialize in gin, with tons of options, but even if you're not a big gin person, there are other spirits and options. I love gin, so I was happy to find Juniper's when we were in Cincinnati for my birthday. We intended to find a place for dinner while we were drinking our cocktails, but we ordered the bread service--we loved it so much we almost ordered a second The host was extremely welcoming and once we were seated in a cozy, romantic spot near the bar, our server was, too. We stayed for a few rounds and loved chatting with our server. I love it here! This is now my new favorite place to get a cocktail in Covington. We will definitely be returning.

We had to drive to Kentucky, but it was worth it. The Tapas menu is unlike anything I've seen. They tell me it changes every month. Even better.They have wonderful gin drinks. Normally, I'm a straight gin and tonic guy. Nurse a couple, head on home. TonightWe made the first round a sampler with a flight of gins that we all enjoyed then the French 75, a Gimlet, Dorchester and a Gibson. They mix smooth drinks and the martinis were quite dry and accommodating.You can go with other spirits, we opted not to. The appetizers help to distract the palate to try the next concoction. lolA couple of tapas for us were the Kaiju Meatballs and the Zombie Slayer Shotgun Shells (that's a definite must try).All were outstanding. All were served swiftly with a smile. Big shout out to James and Bill. Both were very personable; both were extremely gifted at their craft. It was a very expensive evening, but, the kicked back atmosphere makes this place a most desirable hang-out. 12/24

Adorable! I love it here. I felt like I was walking into a friend's place for drinks and food. Every single person we came into contact with was awesome. Ethan was the best ever, guided us on drinks and food. So personable, spent time with us. Marie on the drinks was A+. We even met the chef. Very cool staff. Food was good, we had several items, carrot cake bake, shatshuka, corned beef hash, breakfast potato casserole. The drinks were great as well, expresso martini with a spiced gin per Ethan suggestion, morning matcha and a French 75 with cucumber gin. We ended up also with a gin flight. The blood orange and grapefruit flavored gins were magnificent. We can not wait to go back. I've been dying to stop in and I truly enjoyed it.

We came to Juniper's after a dinner at Mama's on Main just looking for a night cap. The bartender was so friendly and recommended the best drinks for 2 people who don't usually drink Gin, they were amazing! Still need to come back and check out more of the menu- loved the vibes inside.

Who knew?Who would have guessed that a spot like this was posted up in MainStrasse Village - other than Ottos?! To be sure, I've been to some very nice Speakeasys here, and a few other places across the country, but let's be real...this is Southern Ohio / Northern Kentucky, and you have to be intentional if you like certain things. Juniper's is quite that - an unassuming and elegant gin bar.A live folk/country band was playing on the 6th Street boulevard, and it wasn't my cup of tea, so when we walked into Juniper's, I felt like Gil (Owen Wilson) from Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" - as The Gimlets jazz quartet was playing classic Bebop onstage. The set was also very nice. Only two of us were drinking: I had the Monkey 47 and my friend had a standard gin and tonic. The 47 had a splash of absinthe, giving it a nice lower-end licorice taste that complemented the gin, grapefruit, lemon, and bitters. I was starving, but if you're familiar with tapas, it's shared dining, so I had to get enough for all three of us:Bread ServiceWatermelon SaladDeviled egg trio - classic - kimchi - okonomiyakiMilanese - crispy pork - miso plum mustardo, and cabbageAlbondigas Spanish meatballs - wagyu beef - pork - red wine - tomatoes - paprikaI usually don't eat pork, but I had a little bit (a lot) of everything. The ladies with me also enjoyed everything but the kimchi deviled eggs - which I devoured. LOLI'll be going BACK to Juniper's gin bar. Probably Tuesday, August 20 2024 because the Cadence Okuwobi jazz trio will be playing from 5-7pm. LOL. Maybe I'll see you there - any time. Just look for the tallest, darkest, and handsomest dude in the place.

I found a new favorite in Covington. It's a beautiful bar with an elegant atmosphere. Lots of space and beautiful bar. It's know for gin drinks and tapas. The Saturn drink is refreshing. We were there for burger week. Sliders with an elote potato salad and watermelon feta salad. Our server was so friendly and she loves her job I can't wait to go again

What an amazingly cool spot to have a drink. I wish I had taken more pictures. The Negroni flight was great. The gimlet was great. The cool jazz band, that also played some 80s and 90s cool vibes was a great addition. If you are in Covington and looking for a great place to have a few cocktails, this is the spot. It's a must place.

We met for drinks to celebrate a friend's birthday and our party outgrew what we originally thought it would be and they handled it masterfully. Our server was Ethan and if you try Juniper's; I hope you are lucky enough to have him. He makes you feel as you've been best friends forever. Highly recommend this place.

Quaint cocktail bar and in Main Strasse village. They specialize in gin cocktails but don't let that stop ya... they'll make you anything. Service is very good . I enjoy the atmosphere.... Calm even noise on nights when there is no music. Music nights showcase some pretty good sounds. Stop in if you're in the neighborhood. Street parking.
