It's cash only so be aware of that, but the drinks are also really cheap so a $20 will go a long way. We were there on a weeknight so I don't know how service handles on busy nights, but it was perfectly good for us. Lots of regulars to this neighborhood staple. Biggest issue is the bathroom, which does not lock so is... not ideal.

All the wings were juicy and cooked to perfection. I am coming back with another fiend so they can try their wings! So good!! I also order some fries and they give you a ton!

After finding some questionable street parking - there was a carpet of broken glass from a breakin nearby - I stepped inside. This place is... unusual. I've never been to a joint with a two-level bar which was interesting. At 5pm on a weekday, the vibe was peaceful and light. A few UC girls popped in for shots and got carded. A bunch of locals were hanging out. I simply enjoyed my PBR and the show. [Review 20486 overall - 213 in Ohio - 1466 of 2023.]

Also had pesto and ricotta. Can't recommend this place enough. One of the best pizzas I've had in cincy. The ricotta and pesto were super good. You might think this pizza had too many toppings but I assure you it did not. The ricotta was some of the best I've ever had on a 'za. The crust was light and airy. It had good crisp. We also had the dough bots. Garlicky and a must order. Beer cheese was dope. The pizza window is in the back of the bar. Little bit out of the way but awesome. Super friendly people. Pizza took like 20 minutes on a busy Friday. Dive bar in the front looked cool.

I was anxious to get on the road ahead of the blizzard but here we are. From the first moment when we were greeted by regulars and I raised eyebrows by asking for a glass for my PBR, I knew I was among friends. Regulars had all brought in food and we were warmly invited to partake. Everything from home baked cookies to Arby's! And a world class collection of sports memorabilia. Really world class. I wish this was in my hood. But I was told it is often this way during games, so I will be bringing my new friend, who does live nearby. I totally forgot I needed to get on the road and enjoyed myself. And if you know me, you know how unique that is. So if you can, visit here ASAP. And you can thank me later.

Sundy's exemplifies such a dive bar and is located in Finneytown, about 10 miles north of downtown. It is a small, family-owned establishment, so don't be surprised if--after only 2 or 3 visits--the bartenders and frequenters remember your face. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, and the drink prices are probably too reasonable (but don't tell them I said that!). There are daily drink specials that will satisfy even the hardest of drinkers. Sundy's is "The Home of the Stormcloud" but I always recommend the Nada Bomb: originated on the West side, it is a shot comprised of cherry vodka, orange juice, red bull and a splash of cran. These shots run $5 per, so I always suggest simply buying a pitcher for the unbeatable price of $20 (the pitcher equals about 10 shots, so it's a really great deal, especially to buy for a round). Feel free to come visit to sit back and enjoy Trivia Night on Thursdays (www.lastcalltrivia.com), watch your favorite team(s) on any of its multiple flat screens, or just to hang out with friends. Though, don't plan on coming in on Sundays, as that is the only day the bar is closed during the week.

Yeah, this is a fun little stop…read more I just happened to be shopping in Northside and wanted to grab a quick drink in this horrendous heat. I popped in to sit at the bar, and the bartender, RB, was happy to answer questions about booze on tap and in the cooler. I'm a big fan of stouts, so I had an Irish stout so tasty I had to take a second home. RB taught me a really cool fact, too: if you buy the booze to go it's almost half the cost! This place has a great vibe, kind regulars at the bar who are happy to strike up a conversation, AND RB has recently invented a new shot that is a real panty-dropper, the "Muscle Mommy." You can only get it when she's there, and it might make you start liking women, but that's okay...it's Northside. ‍

There aren't a lot of coffee shops in the area so it's filling a gap. My husband commented that the menu prices were fair especially for the specialty drinks, but I will note none of them were super extravagant.
