The man who I assume was the owner was very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. Also, he was smoking fresh meat out front which smelled great and tasted great (we had the brisket, pork and turkey). The food was great all the way around (also had the loaded nachos). Would definitely go back when in the area.

Wow. What a classic downtown sports bar literally across the freeway from Paycor Stadium…read more I picked this place as it was within walking distance from our hotel and just across the freeway from Paycor stadium. Smoking pulled pork and chicken wings outside the front entrance was a good sign. If you're looking for a real-deal sports bar in Cincinnati look no further. My wife and I ended up coming here on back-back days while coming to Cincinnati for a Bengals game. The servers and management couldn't have been more welcoming to us. The smoked chicken wings were among the best I've had. The fried mushrooms and pickle chips were also outstanding. I highly recommend this establishment if you're attending a game or event at Paycor stadium.

I was afraid to even order an appetizer because it looks like everything is in a deep freezer and who knows how long it's been sitting there. Bartenders don't seem to care. They don't engage conversation. They are clearly just there to make their hourly pay and then gobble up your tip as soon as you place it on the bar. Lady's night was a total joke. No specials, no advertisement. No presents on social media whatsoever. I think this place is a money laundering scheme or the owner. Or a tax write-off. Go down to Olde Town.

The same owner and cook from the beginning a few years ago!! My wife and I love this place. We've been here a few times and has not disappointed us. This particular time we were craving brisket and it melted in our mouths. We shared the Full 1 lb brisket meal. Added Cole slaw, side salad and 1/2 skillet cornbread!! The establishment is an old house turned tavern. Nicely decorated and lots of TV to take care of the sports needs you have. You can also sit outside when it's nice out.

Sinners & Saints is close to my house, but it's on a stretch of road that I rarely travel. When…read moregoing to or from downtown I almost always use Columbia Parkway and rarely go along Riverside Drive. Sinners & Saints is one of only a few restaurants along this nearly 4-mile stretch. One evening I made a special trip down Riverside to visit. I really enjoyed this stop and will have to make a special trip again in the future. For starters, their smoked & stuffed jalapeños are delightful ($10)! Sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar are all inside, wrapped with bacon and smoked. They come served with house BBQ sauce on the side, but you may not even need it. The smoke flavor is really there on the bacon and mixes well with the creamy filling. For dinner, the naan street tacos are a solid choice. Pulled pork, peach BBQ, source cream, pickled onion, and green onion are packed inside of garlic naan and served taco style ($16). This is served with a very large side of mac and cheese. It is quite a filling meal! The tacos were great and the naan holds up really well to the juices and sauces, as compared to a soft corn shell.

Visited The Pitch to catch up with old friends before heading back to Louisville. Located right…read moredown the street from Music Hall, street parking can be a challenge. Thankfully, it was a Sunday so I was able to grab a spot nearby. Being winter, I didn't linger outside but it looked like they have a fairly extensive outdoor area. Once inside, it has a large bar surrounded by huge tvs playing football (on this day). We sat at a tall table with barstools in the center of the room. Bar staff were very knowledgeable and very friendly. Since I was driving, I only wanted a half pint of beer which wasn't a problem. They do have bar snacks which my friends had before I arrived. They said it was pretty standard fried goodies. The Pitch is a sports lover's paradise. Loads of beer and liquor options and TVs aplenty. Given this, it's very loud with different stations playing and folks cheering/ yelling. Don't expect to have any conversation except during commercials. I didn't frequent sports bars, but everyone was friendly and having a good time which made it fun.

I had a member of the staff offer to help carry the stroller up the stairs and someone came up to me to tell me there were changing tables upstairs.

I'm sure it's much better if you're ordering whiskey or a beer. I would give it another try and just order something different next time. I didn't take indoor pics since there were so many people and I try to honor privacy. ;)
