Nicholson's

First the atmosphere. This is what I would picture a Scottish pub would look like. Everyone is friendly and the staff is very attentive. Now I could see it getting noisy as the evening wears on. But for an early dinner it was quite pleasant. Now the food. Started with their take on an egg roll. But it is filled with pot roast! They were creamy, tasty and just down right delicious. Then I had the surf and turf. It was outstanding! Steak cooked perfectly, shrimp, same garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Yum, yum and yum!Our server, Josh, was awesome and we had a great meal experience.

Nicholson's has been a amazing experience every time I have went . I recently went with my youngest brother to show him a good time that night and first spot we went was here for dinner - he never been here so both of us were in for a treat - his reaction to a good experience and i love the food and experience so couldn't pass this place up. Fish & shrimp for the both of us , seasoned potatoes, corn bread, vegetable medley, and cole slaw came out AFTER we got the beer cheese and pretzels . They even forgot to swap out the shrimp first so we got extra fish too . In other words, we got plenty of food and took plenty home. Amazing all around . Service, this place was very attentive - i will say it wasnt crazy busy like after a aronoff show but still . My only weirded out moment was we had our waitress clock out middle of it so we had like 3 people cover our table ? Ambiance, this place is a irish gastropub and has a very welcoming and cozy feel (especially if you get a private party room in the back) and i highly recommend this place - my brother and I as well as rest of our family will be back !

Been here a couple of times and I'm always getting good food. Everything from their appetizers to their entrees to whatever special they have on hand is always top notch! Aiden was our server this last time and he made sure we were taking care of. There was lots of room in the restaurant on a Wednesday after work but usually when there's a show going on across the street, it can be pretty full.I highly recommend the Scotch egg appetizer. Delicious! The fish and chips is also usually pretty good as well as any of the specials that they have on file. Everything from their breadboards to their burgers just always really good. Enjoy it!

Hell yeahs I recommend.Authentic atmosphere.friendly .tasty. the flatbread pizza with pesto and balsamic is fantastic.i like the veg selections.cabbage and the mashed potatoes are a personal fave.plus men in kilts! What's not to love?!

Food was okay, service was not good. Super slow, forgot a lot of things, and brought out a dish marked as gluten free with gluten... very dangerous as one of the people in my party had a severe gluten allergy. They remade it for us. Cool place and good vibes inside, would've been a lot better if food and service were good too.

Stopped in Nicholson's for a nightcap and snack. Gorgeous entrance, the interior had a beautiful bar with lots of woodwork, some old world throne looking furniture and an authentic pub look. On tap they have mostly traditional British beers with some local craft. I haven't seen Kilkenny (A red ale in the Guinness family) in forever. Nitrogenated and creamy, it was a simple and delicious ale with a soft/creamy mouthfeel. We ordered Goat Cheese Dip - topped with smokey bacon jam and naan bread $15 and the Belhaven Beer Cheese - warm soft pretzels, celery, carrots $14. Both were delicious and great for a sharable snack.The whiskey list is crazy long. Scotch (Lowland, Reserves, Campbeltown, Highland, Islay, Speyside), Whiskey, Bourbon ..... We were in the twilight of our night and wanted to indulge, but it was not to be. I will say if you want to try a local Bourbon you can find New Riff, Boone County and Northside served here.Our server was great, I loved their kilts. Stop in, look around and enjoy the awesome pub views. I highly recommend a stop in Nicholson's. If I had more time in Cincy I'd have definitely returned to explore their pub menu.Thanks guys!

Made reservations weeks in advance. We were seated in the emergency exit "hallway" where it was just a high top table for 2 by itself. It was really COLD that night 01/18/25 and that table right next to the door was just a bad idea. To top it off, the barstool was broken and there was nothing to rest your feet on. Was told there was no other stool for that table. We had charcuterie and it was fine but there was no way to enjoy a meal in a cold, tiny space sitting on a broken stool. We made plans for this and the attitude that there was nothing they could do. I really wanted fish & chips but you need to be comfortable to truly enjoy a meal.

Nicholson's is such a cool place. Love the interior and the food. For an appetizer we got the Scotch Egg. So good. We decided to get the Shepherd Pie and Tavern Salad for our main and it was so so good. Service was super and the food was awesome. Sticky Toffee Pudding was I believe the best dessert I have ever eaten. I would go out of my way to get that again. Definitely 5 stars in my opinion.

Came back to Nicholsons and got to try the brunch menu this time- it did not disappoint! We got seated in the back room with the fireplace going and it made the experience cozy! The chicken and waffles and goetta hash were delicious! Will definitely come back for brunch again!

My first time dining here! The food and service were absolutely incredible. To begin, the salad was so fresh and crispy. The bread seems freshly baked and toasted.The marvelous plate included a portion of delectable salmon. The chicken breast was so tender with the most amazing sage gravy. The Brussels spouts were delectable.Service was impeccable, especially those smiling faces!
