    'Till The Battle is Won
    Taylor R.

    Love everything about this place! The staff is so friendly and they attract such great patrons, got are sure to make some new friends. Had never tried smoked wings before but I'm now a huge fan! The Alabama white sauce was recommended and didn't disappoint. Look forward to the next visit!

    Wings with the Alabama White Sauce
    Rebecca H.

    Bender's Pub Grub is located inside Alexandria Brewing Company. My husband and I know the owners of ABC and we were down there for one of their releases. We decided to grab dinner while we were there. Oh. My. Goodness. Bender's is AMAZING! I had been waffling between ordering the chicken club sandwich or the wings. I am so so so glad I went with the wings! I got the wings with their Alabama White Sauce, which they make in house. I am now obsessed with this sauce! We even bought a small container of it to bring home. When I have my chicken nuggets for lunch, I've been using this sauce in them. So so so so so good! Bender's is a neat little business that complements the brewery well. Their menu isn't huge but it is sufficient! There are more things I can't wait to try. Their customer service is also excellent. The brewery was absolutely slammed when we were there and Bender's had specials to go along for the night. They told us to expect a 45-60 minute wait. My husband also ordered wings with the dry rub. Our food came out in way less than 45 minutes. We enjoyed chatting with the owners when they closed their service for the evening. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy their food again!

    Bender's Pub Grub is a spot inside the Alexandria Brewery. Got there on a Tuesday, so it was burger night. $6.95 for a single patty smash burger, with options for various prices. I had a loaded burger. $6.95, plus $2 for an extra patty (normally required for smash burgers), 50 cents for cheese, and so on (had bacon, avocado, and "the garden"). Around $12 for a burger and tots is not a bad deal (normally $15.95 on menu without everything). We also had a pretzel and beer cheese. How was the burger? Over salted. When I went back up to get a to go box, a guy was asking for no salt on his burger, so I am guessing the locals know better. I would also say the patties are big enough you can forgo the $2 charge on the extra patty. See picture. I also grabbed some wings. Mine were buffalo and South Carolina BBQ and my friends got Alabama White BBQ and Spicy Honey Mustard. Wings are nicely smoked and if I lived in the area, the Alabama White BBQ definitely took the prize. Picture has my wings and you can see the Alabama white in the picture looking down the bar towards the door. Pretzel? Good, but I am not a fan of the thicker Kentucky beer cheese. I won't knock the place, as this is a personal preference, but do note the beer cheese is more like a spread than a dip. I am torn if this is 3 - my experience - or 4, what it could be with a less salted patty. I am opting for benefit of the doubt and letting you know less salt is an option. I preferred the wings over the burger, so Wednesday Night would be a great option for someone who lives in Northern Kentucky.

    I think that I had some of the best wings in my life ever yesterday. Just an overall life changing smoked wing. We arrived just around 6:15 but despite that service was very fast. The food got to us in maybe 15 minutes. The chicken and waffles were delicious. The chicken was hot and juicy and the waffle had a very good vanilla flavor in it. The tater tots weren't anything super special but still a good tater tot. Now to the wings, we got the wings with Alabama white bbq sauce. They were crispy, smoky, juicy and just perfect. Definitely worth a return visit just for the food alone!

    WOW! This place is so cool! I was in Covington for a wedding and the entire wedding party decided…read moreto stop by for a few drinks. Despite having such a large group, drinks were out fast and there was plenty of seating. 2 things stick out here: Decor and the Drinks. Both were impeccably done. The nature meets wood and brick aesthetic is so purposefully laid out and when the eye cruises across the landscape it's so satisfying!! We had a LOT of drinks, but the jade river, el toro rojo, and pacific muse were our favorites. The drinks are priced pretty well ($12-$14) and the service was very prompt, always cleaning up empty glasses and clearing space for more people to sit. I for SURE recommend this place as a spot to come and throw a couple rounds back. We stayed for hours and drank and talked our hearts out! Thank you for such a wonderful night. 5 stars.

They offer delicious seasonal drinks, and every drink & shot I've tried has been amazing! My absolute favorite thing I've had here (and one of the best drinks I've ever had period) is their S'mores Espresso Martini! It's literally perfection; aesthetically it's fun but still well composed as any espresso martini should be; it's has the right balance of sweet & coffee, & all of the flavors really make it taste like you're drinking an espresso flavored s'more! If you see this on the menu, it is a must try!
