My brother just recently bought a house on the westside, and just before his housewarming party we…read moredecided to stop in for a bloody at this little establishment. The space itself is rather large at the cheery bartender informed us this used to be two separate spaces. Now it's combined and has rolled up garage doors inside which are kinda neat. One side is the long bar and some TV's while the other is more relaxed with tables and games like keno and pool. Our bloody was great and even better when I saw the price tag. It was only $4! When I asked the bartender if she made a mistake she said, "Nope that's just what they always are." Dumbfounded (b/c I got a two shelf upgrade on the vodka I wanted for the bloody) my boyfriend and I ran out of there jumping for joy. How the heck we just got two cocktails for $8 I will never know, oh wait yes I do -- westside.

There's two types of coffee shops in this world. When you order a cortado, one asks "what size" and…read morethe other makes a cortado. This is a "what size" type of place.

Imagine driving to Cincinnati ahead of the incoming snowstorm, ready for a fun coffee shop, because…read moremy sister is basically a coffee shop snob. We go across town (at least 20 minutes), hopes high and taste buds ready, only to land at this spot and find the energy a little more "BLAH" than "CAFFEEINE PARTY." I'm all about giving new to me places a chance, so I let them know I was from out of town, expecting an enthusiastic welcome or at least a menu breakdown. Instead, I got about as much excitement as a decaf espresso shot. I was this close to skipping the order altogether, but my inner self said keep going. The baristas making the drinks were great, and the space itself is roomy enough for laptop warriors or a catch-up with pals. The drinks, though, didn't have me doing cartwheels, but hey, maybe it was just an off day for my taste buds. I can't begin to remember the name of my drink Would I go back? Probably not. Will our Cincinnati crew give it another shot? Also unlikely. But hey, if you're nearby and feeling adventurous, maybe you'll catch them on a day when the energy is as strong as their coffee. Every coffee run has its own story, and this one just leaned a little more decaf than drama.

It's down a narrow sidewalk between two buildings. Dare to walk back there and you discover Collective! My brother ordered a black coffee and I had an iced vanilla latte. The server was polite and friendly, the barista quiet and focused on her craft. Both drinks were delicious, with a robust coffee flavor. There are a few chairs inside the shop, but it was a sunny early spring day so we sat in the small courtyard and caught up with each other. There, I saw that there is an entrance from the side street -- regulars seemed to enter from that direction. But I like the secret entrance between buildings better! We parked on a side street but there is a little lot in the area. No photos; was too busy gabbing. After, we popped in a couple thrift shops on the same street and then headed over to a salvage lumber yard/ hardware store. A good day for exploring.
