First time here! Lovely atmosphere…read more I ordered a chicken quesadilla which was a huge serving, with a side of French fries. It was perfectly prepared with more than ample cheese and a large amount of delicious chicken. It was served piping hot with sides of sour cream and a mild salsa. Service was excellent.

While we waited for our order, we sat at a table and listened to the violin player play Christmas songs. The gentlemen is really talented. I got the 12 piece Lemon Pepper Wings and Fries.

Great spot on the westside of Cincinnati.

The crowd was low-key and friendly. It felt very comfortable and relaxed, like a neighborhood bar should be. The added bonus is the outstanding bourbon selection and very fair prices. My SO is a serious bourbon drinker and he was floored. Very impressed. We indulged in some top shelf bourbon while playing bingo and had an excellent time. Also, we meet and chatted with both the chef and proprietress, who are very cool, down-to-earth and friendly. It's nice to know you can get to know the people who make the magic happen.

The staff is quite friendly. Bars in this area usually are hillbilly bars that play country. It's different here. This bar has more variety than many in trendier areas. It's nice to be able to find something for everyone's tastes. I had a vodka and ginger ale. This was about $3 for a strong pour. It was refreshing after being in the heat. They seem to know their stuff, so they can give recommendations. I am not often in this part of the city. It's because there hasn't been much interesting going on. This bar will change that.

Wow. This place is a TOTAL surprise, in a good way!…read more Upon entering you'll notice it is super clean, spick and span, and even though I guess you would call it a dive or a saloon the owner is meticulous and really cares about his establishment. Mike (the owner himself) was our bartender for the night and he was incredibly sweet. He shared his story and it had SO much history behind it. Turns out Second Street Saloon gets it's name because it used to be located on second street downtown. After so many years his lease was up and he decided to make the Westside home - hence why this bar does not feel uniquely "west side." He moved every piece of memorabilia he had collected over the 25+ years of owning it into this new location. Now, I usually hate collages and junk on the wall but his are framed and look really nice. There are many framed photos of Cincinnati from the 1800's on. He also had the original door from Second St. framed and hung next to the bar - which by the way is an antique that he had picked out and appraised by the Wooden Nickel. They had more than enough craft beer and local beer available that you got a decent selection but didn't feel overwhelmed. It was also a pint night where you got to keep the glass. We played darts and really had a great time here. At the end of our bar crawl we all agreed that we could have spent the entire night here at Second Street. For what it is, this place gets 5 stars from me, and I can't wait to go back.

The bartenders are as friendly as they come and keep even the busiest crowds happy. WATCH OUT! If you don't like standing room only- Late Friday and Saturday nights aren't for you- but that's when the fun begins for me!! This isn't a pretentious bar like Bartini or Mynt Martini Club but it is a friendly clean and well priced neighborhood bar that you will find yourself coming back to on a regular basis!

I was very surprised by the quality of food at this place. I love their fries and potato skins…read more They have some of the best ranch I've tried in a while. I'm coming back soon to try other items on the menu. If you're looking for a great neighborhood bar with a dive bar feel this is definitely your place. The drinks are strong and ice cold too. I have no complaints about this place. The patrons can be a little rowdy, but that's expected at a bar and grill. Give them a try!!

This place is yet another one of the small bars that line Harrison Ave. in Cheviot. There is…read morenothing offensive or outstanding about it. It is just another bar. It is a casual bar that anyone can walk into. It is not a locals-only, where only the regulars get service. On the other hand, it is not a place where you are welcomed in as a long lost friend. You are generally ignored by the other patrons and staff alike. Service at the bar is perfectly reasonable. The place is never so busy to make you wait for your drink for very long. My go-to drink is a tall diet and vodka... their tall is very small. It does not last me very long.... The drinks are not weak or strong- just average. Prices are about typical for the area of town. Definitely cheaper than a bar downtown. The bar itself is small and clean. Plenty of seating along the bar and at high round tables. Bathrooms are old, but clean. There is a jukebox, but fortunately the music is never very loud. If you are looking for a casual night out with friends, chilling and talking, Rootie's is a perfectly acceptable place to go.

I ordered the Korean chicken and waffle and it was OK, I probably would not order it again. However, my husband ordered the blackened salmon over brussel sprouts and he could not stop raving about the dish. I have not heard him go on like that about a meal in a very long time. I think the food prices are decent, but I feel like the drink prices are a bit inflated. We will come back for another experience.

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.
