    Large sign visible at main entrance to parking lot

    Big Buls is a good example of the West Side Cincinnati area family friendly bar and restaurant. Like its many cousins, Big Buls is a place to have a beer or two with dinner-and the kids, grandma, heck even the in laws will feel welcome. They have a large patio area that was hosting some sort of public party (I bet it was a cornhole tournament) when we visited. But Big Buls still had plenty of seating inside for my daughter, my wife, and myself. Our waitress was amazing! She was attentive to everyone in there, checked with the chef on the spice level of my daughter's bean burger (and that was very nice- a real vegetarian option in a local eatery in a scene not noted for its vegetarian options), and made us feel right at home. The food was ok. Nothing special we found- my wife said the steak she had was cooked properly but had no seasoning (an A-1 steak sauce steak) and my hoagie was an ok hoagie. However, the prices reflected the fare. Everything was very reasonably priced (now don't you go saying I remember when a burger cost 99 cents and everything nowadays beyond that is overpriced. I am happy to have a meal at a sit down restaurant with quality table service at the $20-$25 a plate price range.) with our meals averaging about $15. Good value. The inside had a whole array of TVs with sports on, and the establishment had the volume at the perfect level for both entertainment and table conversations. I liked it and will return the next time we are in the area.

    Chicken Philly sandwich w/fries.

    What a fun place to have a beer and some great bar food. While visiting friends in Oxford, their elderly father wanted to go to Big Buls as it's his favorite place. How can you go wrong with $1 Busch Light on a Monday night? We were a party of 15 and the food was served in a pretty timely manner. I had a chicken Philly sandwich on a hoagie roll w/fries. There was so much chicken that I skipped the roll so I could enjoy the rest. Had a side Caesar which was also good. Some other plates on our table were ribs, salmon, pulled pork and burgers. The servers were very friendly. Now I know why my friend's dad loves the place

    Loaded Italian cowboy with Saratoga chips

    First time here and there was a fundraiser going on in the back and no parking. We found a spot and thought there was going to be a wait. There wasn't which was good and were seated right away. We started off with the Bavarian pretzel sticks. Since they used a German name for the pretzels one would think it would be bier cheese. Nope, it was spicy queso sauce but they were good. They deep fry the pretzels since they were a little greasy but it wasn't dry. I had the double black and blue burger. It was bigger than I thought. It was a bit dry with the Cajun seasonings and bleu cheese. The patties seem to be premade by the perfect roundness but I could be wrong if they use a burger press but the meat didn't have much taste. My wife had the loaded Italian cowboy. She said it was good and a nice size sandwich. It seems the meat didn't go to the ends as there was a good amount of bread only on each end but had a taste with the dressing and seasoning. She said the Saratoga chips were good. She needed to get a side of bbq sauce which I was surprised that didn't come with it as they would have been dry. Overall it wasn't bad and we will be back to try other items on their menu

    Potato skins!
    Mark S.

    Big Buls was hopping on a Friday night. Big tables inside and out make room for large groups, sports teams and the like. Food was good starting with potato skins and salads. Sandwiches were HUGE so we got to bring home lunch for the weekend! The live music started out back at 9pm. They have both local bands (Middle Age Man Band, hint hint) as well as national acts like Scotty McQuery here in May 2018. The stage was nice with covering for the weather, but as it warms up the screens open to a huge back patio and even bigger fire pit! Check it out!

    Good food for the price! Definitely needed ice for the draft beer.... Caesar salad with chicken was really good. Decor is solid if you have redneck tendencies like me...

    This is medium? More like well done, dry and tasteless.

    Swine City Brewing

    Was looking for a new spot to check out with outdoor seating and decided to check out Swine City…read more Just north of Jungle Jim's, this spot has a huge outdoor space. The unique hot dogs were pretty solid, and I'd defintely get The Popper again. The staff were inviting, seemed like a slower night, and were happy to talk us through the wide range of beers they have on tap. Nice to find a brewery making more than just IPAs. Didn't end up grabbing a bottle but the Ranch Ale seems like a risk worth taking just to say we did

    Solid find and a hidden gem! Tucked away in an industrial plaza, Swine City stands alone as the…read moreonly local watering hole in the area. Great layout with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for hosting a wide variety of events (I'm personally excited for the local professional wrestling circuit to come back). The exterior is a simple picnic table style atmosphere, the inside is a bit more colorful and graffiti filled. The staff were fun, offered great advice, and were quick on the pour. They lean heavy on making sours and fruity IPAs, all of which I tried were pretty crisp and refreshing. The food menu was mostly cookout style sides and crazy types of loaded hotdogs, but it works for them! I tried the Underdog and a side of Queen City nachos, both of which were delicious and both of which my stomach screamed at me for later. All in all this is a brewery definitely worth the stop if you are in the area!
