    Patio area live music
    Anna Y.

    Went to the blind lemon for the first time and it was a fun experience. I like the idea of the tucked away patio and the different seating options- my friend and I got sat at a small table with 4 seats and a couple got sat next to us- I felt a little bad for their date night vibe being thrown off but they were able to move when more seating opened up. They're very busy, but staff is attentive! Great tasting drinks! We came at the right time as there seemed to be a wait after we arrived.

    Blind Lemon is such a vibe - hidden gem. The stained glass, copper, and wood paneling really transports you into another world. It feels like you should be in the mountains, not in Cincinnati which is really awesome feeling and experience when decoration can do that. The little miss sour cocktail is absolutely amazing and will be added to my top 10 cocktail list for sure! The waitress was so nice and had great recommendations. Live music was a plus, but kind of loud. I'll for sure be back!

    The service is spot on personal and casual. They have great music down to earth chill guitar and the drinks are superb . Jacks literally on every order doesn't skip a beat ! There is a list of famous people on the wall when u walk in. So famous people assemble! For a chance at the wall!!!

    Entrance to the dungeon bar

    Very unique underground bar, drinks and service were excellent. Had a whisky sour and a Monte Carlo, both cocktails were well crafted and delicious. Sitting at the bar by the fireplace was very relaxing and they played some cool lounge music too. The atmosphere is eclectic bohemian, felt like I was in a Harry Potter pub in Hogsmeade. Very enjoyable and relaxing spot. Pricing for drinks were reminiscent of LA & SF prices but probably worth the overall experience

    Courtyard

    Absolutely in love with this place. Visiting cincy for a concert and found the blind lemon on yelp. Wish we would have gotten there earlier and could have spent more time in the courtyard but it's an adorable space. Had an acoustic performer that was also very good.

    Blind Lemon is such a Cincinnati and Mount Adams treasure. So when my husband and I visited, we had to stop by, even though it was a bit chilly outside and we wanted to sit outside due to COVID. Happily, Blind Lemon has a great patio. It was slow when we arrived and were among the only people on the patio for a while. We were able to warm up thanks to a fun winter drinks menu. My husband got a hot buttered rum, and I got a virgin hot chocolate. The hostess was fast with the drinks and accomodations. The back patio has a large fire pit as well as heaters, which help to make the scene cozy. It also has a weathered look that lets you know that many a good time have been had there. The inside is also great. Definitely peek in if you get the time. And don't pass by the sign by the entrance of all the famous people who have enjoyed a drink at the Blind Lemon.

    See all

    We stumbled upon this Mt. Adam gem and LOVED the ambiance of this place. Their drinks were GREAT and we loved hanging out in the back patio.

    Cute bar tucked in downstairs between buildings. Live music was nice but musicians were not visible due to odd layout.

    Is this Business kid friendly? For like 18+?

    No. Very much an adult vibe.

    Is this a good place for a group of let's say 10?

    If you're not going on the weekend then yes, I'd say no problem. If you're there on the weekend you may struggle to find seating together since it's a hobbit hole (small and cozy in the best way) inside - the outdoor garden could be a better option… Read more

    We don't get to Mt Adams as much as we'd like, but each visit always ends with a trip to The Blind Lemon.

We're eager…read moreto find a top-tier burger place in the area, though unfortunately this fell a little short of our expectations. Decided to split the Silver Charm for an appetizer, and it came about ten minutes later. The onion rings were decent, good flavor and somewhat crispy. The accompanying sauces of barbecue and ranch were both good as well, though both were missing something to elevate them a bit more I think. The flavor was good, but quite a small portion for $10. My wife ordered the Strike the Gold Burger and I went for the Northern Dancer Crispy Chicken. The sandwiches came out about ten minutes after we finished the Silver Charm, which was perfect timing. She liked her burger pretty well, and I took a bite too. The "caramelized onions" were definitely more sauteed, with still a bit of crunch, and otherwise I could really only taste the barbecue sauce, which was tasty, but I would have liked some more varied flavors. My chicken sandwich was... a bit disappointing. Rather than a chicken piece that appropriately fit the bun, it was more of a chicken strip, with bites that would only yield bun. In addition, because the chicken piece was so small, it was also extremely dry, which is a bummer because I actually thought the breading was very tasty. The chipotle aioli was decent, but didn't pack as much spice or flavor as I was hoping. And with only two toppings and a sauce on the whole sandwich, I was disappointed that the tomato was rather mushy and didn't seem fresh. I will say the fries that came with our sandwiches were crisp and well seasoned, and somewhat unfortunately the best part of my meal. Based on our experience, I didn't hate our dinner here and if someone invited me to meet them here, I wouldn't say no, but I'm also not going out of my way to revisit.
