We loved Cobblestone's Christmas pop-up in December so we made sure to check out their Valentine's pop-up in February. What fun! With so many restaurants and bars struggling to stay open these days, this is such a creative way to market themselves. They have all sorts of fun events to entice people to come in as well. My daughter and her boyfriend had a great time at a Valentine's paint and sip date night. The Valentine's themed decor is so festive and makes for some great instagrammable moments. They also have themed drinks-my chocolate martini was small but tasty. They said the next pop-up is for Saint Patrick's Day, so looks like we'll be going back next month! read more

Cobblestone is very cute! I went for their Christmas pop-up and loved it . I've also been in the summertime and the aesthetics are always great. The staff is really nice and I've never had a bad drink there. It does get crowded so, service can be a little slow but I definitely plan on going back for their Valentine's pop-up. read more

Cobblestone OTR - Fun heart for a photo op and a chocolate espresso martini - A woman with short blonde hair and a patterned sweater is smiling and holding a pink cocktail garnished with a strawberry. She is seated at a table covered with pink and purple confetti-like decorations. Behind her, there is a Valentine's Day-themed backdrop featuring a large heart made of red roses, pink feather-like decorations, and neon signs that read '@CobblestoneOTR' and 'Bonjour.' The setting appears to be a decorated indoor venue, possibly for a celebration or special event. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Pop up bars are one of my favorite concepts and Cobblestone's holiday activation was a great one. Loved the themed drinks, especially the Land of Sweets. All of the Christmas movies on repeat were fun. The decorations were top notch. Wish they would have had the patio open, but the heat lamps were out of gas. Can't wait to see what they do next! read more

Cobblestone is a great spot to grab a drink anytime of the year, but they also do really fun pop-ups like their winter wonderland, the Valentine's Day pop-up, and their St. Patrick's Day pop-up. It's a great place to pop in when you're wondering around Washington Park and the staff is incredibly friendly. They also have food on their menu typical bar food, but it's tasty and hits the spot when you've been drinking. read more

Visited Cobblestone on a Thursday night at 9pm with my daughter. Close parking at Washington park! There was a Love Island event which packed the whole location. Unfortunately it felt as if there were too few bartenders for the packed house. I don't watch the show but didn't mind the crowd because there was good energy and a polite crowd. The bar has a narrow footprint so a packed house does make it difficult for movement from the front door just about anywhere else in the space, especially if patrons are sitting at the bar. No problem, a simple excuse me seemed to work. Three things ruined this bar for me. First, waiting 1 hr 5 minutes, in line, for 1 cocktail. It's a bar so if I gave up, what would be the point being there? Second, the incredibly rude male bartender. There were 3 male bartenders and the other 2 seemed quite nice. I waited a long time, very patiently and it seemed the bartender took out their long night on me or forgot he was in the service industry. Third, the drink was wrong. It was made at the other end of the bar so by the time we realized the mistake at our table, it was just disappointing. Other patrons mentioned inconsistent cocktails that night as well (amaretto sours and palomas). Plenty other bars in OTR with great customer service and friendly staff! read more

Admittedly I haven't been to cobblestone since before the Pandemic, so it was nice to stop by on Valentines day and see what they did for the holiday. It looked like the perfect Valentine Pop Up: The photo wall, the drink specials, the table and wall decorations- just so absolutely adorable! The hubs and I were just stopping by for a drink, before we went to the Splat Room at the OTR Funplex. I'd love to see what they do for other holidays, bc this was too fun! read more

Have got to leave a bad review. We order food after driving around for an hour to find a spot for wings. I remembered my client recommended it and I wanted to support. I receive burnt fries and when I asked her to remake it she said it'll take to long she'll refund me and bring my receipt. The wings had an off taste for barbecue as well. I never received a refund nor did I eat the fries. She was visibly upset I asked her to remake fries you could smell were burnt. Very disappointing. read more

I came here for a private wedding event, and honestly loved this bar! We had a decent amount of people and I felt like the bar staff took such good care of us! They were so attentive and friendly. I had both the hot honey margaritas and the cherry Mule and both blew me out of the water! I can't speak to this bar during regular hours but for a private event I was throughly impressed! read more

Such a fun holiday vibe!! Came here twice during the Christmas season to absorb the festive decor. One night we came here and it was (expectedly) packed, so we came back next time in the evening and had the back room almost to ourselves. Drinks were pretty good, too! read more

Cobblestone was a bit of a neighborhood bar for my household and friends! Always had one of my favorite brews on tap (sonder's you betcha) and good music playing! Some days are busier than others but overall a dope spot to kick it and get drinks if you on the westside of otr/downtown! read more

We stopped in to kill a little time before our driver reservation as it was on the 'to try' list for a while. It was still all decorated for the holiday which was absolutely delightful. The cocktail menu looked interesting but we opted for beer, so I can't speak to the quality of the cocktails. The beer selection was good, and there was plenty of space to spread out. Definitely hope to come back. read more

I read about the spicy margarita at Cobblestone and chose it for our first stop on a Friday after long work week. As much as I visit downtown I can't believe we've never been here. We were greeted with a smile by Frankie as soon as we entered. He is the bar keep, tender, mixologist. There was also a very kind patron named Frank who was also very friendly. The bar itself it perfect neighborhood joint. The huge windows were open and there was a perfect breeze flowing through. We sat at window so we could people watch. We had great community and conversation. My review it based on the vibe and feeling of the bar. The spicy margarita although voted a best by City Beat readers was not the best in our opinion. We tried an old fashioned and it was better. We will definitely return. read more

This is a great place to come for a casual drink with friends. All of the bartenders are always friendly and every time I've visited I've never had to wait long for a drink. It's a great vibe and is definitely a stop on my list if we are jumping around for a few drinks. The only downside is they just have 2 gender neutral bathrooms so the line can get long on a busy weekend night. read more

I first saw Cobblestone while taking a ride on the streetcar. I thought, "That looks just like any neighborhood bar!" How is that going to fit in OTR? Low Spark has a fish tank surrounding the bar! Pins has bowling alleys and a rooftop! Turns out, they'll do just fine. I didn't think I'd ever make it over to Cobblestone because of the normalcy. I go to OTR for a crazy night - I spend my chill evenings at Blind Pig. However, my friend and I ended up at Locaba one night strictly chatting. The clock struck midnight but we weren't ready to go home yet. Before I went to Yelp I racked my brain for a chill bar and remembered seeing Cobblestone. We decided it was worth a shot and headed on over. Even though there isn't a gimmicky tagline to get you hooked on coming, Cobblestone had a good amount of people hanging out on a Friday night. The bartenders were very friendly and able to serve us immediately, even with the crowd at the bar. We were able to grab some window seats in the back next to the restroom. It was comfy as it was busy but not overly so. This bar is small and there's not too much seating. I came back another night and there was barely room to move so I didn't even attempt to venture inside. Cobblestone was a surprise given it doesn't really have a theme to it. Although I didn't believe it was a good fit for OTR, perhaps the owners thought they'd get the hangover from Sundry & Washington Park. I wish it were a bit bigger, but overall it's a pretty good place to sit and chit chat so long as it's not crowded. read more

Cobblestone OTR - Dogs allowed!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

A really intimate, casual and friendly neighborhood bar. They have a lovely menu of very unique cocktails that are both refreshing and enjoyable, and you know what, very reasonably priced! The bar is not big, but not too small. Located in a very good location in OTR that offers many restaurants and other venues nearby. It was my first time there and I will definitely be coming back to try the other cocktails that they offer. As you can see in my photo, we are all extremely happy! haha Thanks for reading, go find that Perfect Taste! ;) read more

This seems like a fairly laidback bar in the OTR neighborhood. After having lunch at Revolution Rotisserie, we took a short walk to pop in to this bar. We just grabbed a couple of simple drinks. It's not a huge place, so it seemed to quickly get loud while we were there. This is a good stop for just a straightforward bar. read more

Cobblestone OTR - Drinks - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Cobblestone is hip but unpretentious. Love the short menu of well-priced, interesting but not-too-precious cocktails. The hot and dirty (pictured) is my favorite; a nice balance of acid and spice. The bar itself is full of nice little touches. The horse on the bar lights up when the street car is coming, there is a shoeshine bench in the back where they do free shines during Wednesday happy hours, exposed brick, sweet light fixtures. Bartenders are friendly and fast. Unfortunately, while the concept is chill, the atmosphere is not. We tried to come here twice (once on a weekday!), before we could even squeeze ourselves in the door. I suppose location is part of it, but this place is a magnet for large, rowdy, drunk groups. Sort of homogenous older-side-of-millennial clientele out for a night on the town. If that's your vibe, hey - maybe it's 5-stars for you? read more

Cobblestone OTR - Hot and Dirty - Weird and Delicious! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place is a hidden gem! Came her randomly on a Monday night (as we wanted to grab a drink and other bars were closed) and was surprised to see how many people were in the bar. We quickly found our way to the bar and I always like to try every bars' specialty cocktails so I opted for the Mule - they were out of fresh basil so the bartender made it with raspberry instead and it was still very tasty! We sat at one of the high top tables and noticed all the unique and intricate details of this place - from the lights on the ceiling in the pattern of a streetcar, to the rail tracks in the wall, to the back bar and logo design of the place - everything was so perfectly put together. Before we finished our drinks the bartender came over to our table and asked if we needed anything - I thought this was odd as he was the only bartender that night and there were other patrons at the bar - this was some VIP service. He then came back again once we had finished our drinks and asked if we wanted another - we decided hey why not and said sure! We then asked him about all of the other signature cocktails they had - some including liquors we were not familiar with that he let us taste! We both ended up getting different cocktails for round 2 and they were both again so tasty! The bartender then AGAIN came over to ask how we were doing and if we needed anything during this 2nd drink - this service was beyond what I have ever had a bar. The atmosphere and the service here was more than I could have expected for a bar we randomly walked into. I will definitely be back to enjoy the awesome atmosphere and sip on some of their other great cocktails.

we went in the off hours of the afternoon, and we're the only customers in the place. Ask the bartender to turn down the earsplitting music and we're told she couldn't, that it was somehow against the policy. (go figure that one). we were the only customers in the place. They also fixed a bad Negroni. We will not be going back. read more

I've been a few times. I perform a great deal in the city. I know a few bartenders there and they're great. But I just left and I'm highly irritated. There was clearly a newer bartender on site. A few bugs were in my drink upon retrieving which I understood entirely, open doors and fruit flies will congregate. I made it know I would pay for an additional pour but I'm grossed out by bugs and wouldn't drink that. He refused. Fine. I understand bar is closed, can't refill. He reassured me if I came back another time (which he may not have known, but I of course will as I frequent this place) he'd take care of me. Whatever. Appreciate it but I knew he would and still was pleasant and agreed. He went on to frantically clean the bar. He sprayed me IN THE FACE with cleaner. I understand he may not have noticed, but upon myself and SEVERAL friends making it known, his apology was half ass and went on about his frantic business. I understand you may be new, but that's not how you handle that situation. New or not. ESPECIALLY for a frequent client who is rather well known in AND out of the establishment. Won't be back for a while. Will advise all associates, colleagues and friends of the same. Advise new clientele accordingly. Wildly offended by the experience. 7/21/2021 Sincerely, Lauren Eylise read more

Cobblestone is a really cool little low key neighborhood bar that is quickly becoming a regular stop on the weekend! They have great rotating beers on tap and my friends like their cocktails. Prices are reasonable. The bartenders here are also super nice. There is bar seating or tables available.

Cobblestone is my new favorite bar in OTR! The location is great; right next to Washington park on your way between taste of belguim and queen city radio. I stopped in last weekend to check it out and I'm glad I did. The bar itself is beautiful and I really liked the lighting on the ceiling, which as golden pipes and classic bulbs it looks totally steak punk. The owner was there and he was super friendly, too. He told us they have a shoe shine on wednesdays which means a) I'll be drinking on Wednesday and b) my shoes are going to look super fresh. I only had beer when I was there so I can't speak to the quality of the cocktails but I'm looking forward to trying it. read more

We'll definitely be back here. We live just north of OTR, but came down to Washington Park for dinner and drinks and were so pleased with our decisions. The Old Fashioned on tap was surprisingly delicious - I don't even like bourbon. Very friendly bar staff and great atmosphere for groups or dates. read more

Cozy new bar right by Washington Park! It has a few cocktails on their menu and some beers on draft and in bottles. We read about the history of the bar while we there - the lighting on the ceiling is set up like a streetcar track (super cool); and they have a light on the bar that lights up when the streetcar is about to stop there! Nice bar to stop into if you're walking between OTR and Washington Park/Music Hall area. read more

Cool new bar in OTR near Washington Park on the corner of 12th and Race! It was inspired by the street car and I love the light fixture design on the ceiling. I went in on a Monday after work and it wasn't packed at all which was nice, but I'm not sure what it'll be like on the weekends. They have happy hour 4-7pm (I think it's Monday-Friday - someone verify this!) and on Wednesdays during happy hour, they have complimentary shoe shines! I got the Mule and Berry Boujee for drinks. Will definitely come back again, I really enjoy the vibes of the bar! read more

Cobblestone is an out of the way bar that has an excellent view of the park. If you are expecting a spacious bar, you will be disappointed. The bar is small with a few seating options, and a small menu. The decor was amazing, and I liked the theme they were going with. The biggest downside to this location is that it's small, and when I was at the location, there were three dogs present that were barking loudly and laying on the floor in the walkway path. I get that people love their furry pets, but small spaces and several of them is a huge detractor. read more

Won't be returning! They are supposed to be known for their Moscow mule but it tastes as if they are out of Ginger beer and tried to substitute it for thing else. It has a taste of sour mix. And $8.99 for a small plastic cup full of ice is certainly not worth returning. read more
