Love this place!!! Laid back, owner is super cool and nice! Has games, corn hole boards, IPA heaven, beers galore...did I mention, kid friendly! Yes, we bring our kids with us! Lol They even have free arcade games!!! A place you have to visit if your in F-town!!! read more

Lots of beers to choose from! Best thing is you can choose from 3 sizes! So you can try several different kinds without going broke or getting tanked. Bartenders are the best and i love the new lighting they've added. read more

My turtle children are so proud to have a human bar that shares their affinity for the bony-backed species. The Turtle hides all cozy in its shell just behind Brentwood Spirits. The parking lot is a bit cramped even when the bar isn't packed, so if you can swim on over here by other means, please do. The Lucky Turtle is a full bar with plentiful wine and beer selections including great local beers from Rhingeist, Madtree and more; as well as delicious Empanadas from Empanadas Aqui! Looking for something a little different? Ask the bartender to "shake your juice" and wrap your flippers around a delicious juice/milkshake beer/liquor blend concoction. Just last night, the Turtle's mixologist played mad scientist and prepared a beautifully balanced pineapple IPA concoction that really had my tail thumping. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very deliberate. Check out their website for events and specials that seem to occur just about every night of the week, so gather up your clutch for a good time at the Lucky Turtle! read more

Lucky Turtle - Check out this cool shell for my beer! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I love places like this, little hidden gems with excellent beer choices, and the Lucky Turtle was no exception. If we hadn't been led there by semi-regulars, we would have never known it was there. Pretty cool vibe inside and a small outdoor area, something for everyone. The staff was very friendly as well. Minus one star, as we visited during the COVID pandemic and not one person on the staff had a mask on. When we asked if the bartender could please wear one as she waited on us, she told us she didn't have to. That's not what the regualtions say, and is pretty irresponsible (especially when they are using real glasses to serve in). We'll visit again, but probably not until after the pandemic, too risky. read more

I hate using the phrase "hidden gem" because it's such a cliché, but it's the only way to describe the Lucky Turtle! This speakeasy is hidden behind a liquor store and an Arby's in Finneytown, and it is one of the chillest beer and bourbon bars in Cincinnati. They have an amazing draft list (23 beers on tap, many of them local and seasonal!), 60+ bourbons, and many more beers in bottles/cans. I was there on 4/20 (lol) and they had the Wanna Get Rye red IPA with CBD from 50 West, plus cool drink specials like the Stone + NOFX Punk in Drublic can for $3. If you're looking for rare/unique beers and friendly, knowledgeable bartenders, this is your place. The inside is no frills. They have a few games, darts, and a small outdoor space with corn hole. But this place is more about the drinks than it is about the decor, and I appreciate that. read more

Lucky Turtle - a beer and a can on a bar - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

As far as I know, From February 11 on, This bar is closed permanently. A friend worked there, and when I stopped in, the door was locked. Nobody was in there, and the music was off. I was informed that they shut it down. Figures though. A joint from across the street that had to move for chik filet, moved into the old head shop right next to the liquor store. Not sure how the township allowed 3 liquor licenses within 50 yards of each other, but, they did. No sense in the three bars fighting for parking spaces. Now, two bars are fighting for parking spaces. And parking can get pretty tight up in them bitches. If you go, be prepared to park over in the mexican restaurants area, and walking over. There are two bars now. One in the old head shop. And one behind the old ATT store. read more

Fun little local spot- like cheers had a baby with grateful dead - quirky- good selection

My husband and I have gotten to know the owner Frank in the last three years, his establishment is perfect for specialty drinks, sports, trivia, music, small get togethers it's a mile from our house and we love popping in from time to time it's always a pleasant experience and of course my Husbands Fireball is always cold....we love the Lucky Turtle read more

See all

This place sucks. It's like a hipster Northside gig. The bartender didn't even act like he wanted to serve us. Which judging by his hockey jersey he didn't want to be there anywhere. I would recommend going some place that accepts the non hipster lifestyle cause if you don't fit that profile you might wait to get served. And they don't serve food unless you like it out of a crock poor read more

Lucky Turtle is a cool little bar that hides behind an unassuming strip mall area. Come here if you want to try some beer that you won't find anywhere else. Feel free to sample beer before you order your 4, 8, or 16 oz beer. If you are feeling extra thirsty simply get yourself a growler full. All the beers are numbered so if you've had one to many all you have to do is remember your favorite number. The LT is a laid back and friendly place. They have arcade games, board games, bags, and complimentary popcorn. There are a few TVs to watch the game and have a beer at the bar. Most patrons enjoy their beer at the bar, but there are also a few short tables for people to have a seat at. Go to Lucky Turtle for a no frills good beer drinking experience with the neighborhood gang. read more

It's hard to believe a place like this exists so close to where I grew up. Then again, that is a true testament to the beer culture in Cincinnati. I recently went to Lucky Turtle for the first time, where I tried a Partner Ships #1 by Heavy Seas (a Red IPA). The beer itself was just okay, but I was happy to see such an expansive selection. The space itself was nothing to write home about, but the beer list was impressive enough. If there are a handful of beers to choose from that would be a Distinct Check-in on Untappd, I'm a happy patron. I'm unfortunately not in Finneytown much these days, but am looking forward to my next visit to (and unique check-in at) Lucky Turtle. read more

In the neighborhood looking for a place to have a drink. I'd say for this part of town, this is probably as good as it gets! A solid draft list to include local and national craft beers, but I also saw them serving bottles of BudLight. I appreciate a printed drink menu to flip through with all the information I needed-type of beer, IBU, ABV, brewery, etc. Prices were as expected and it looked like others had brought in food from outside. On our visit, we walked in to Last Call Trivia. It was bigger than it looked from the outside with a decent amount of seating. They appear to have a variety of specials each night of the week and events featuring different beers/breweries/etc. This is located behind the liquor store and not visible from the street. When we arrived, there was quite a crew of people standing right out in front of the door smoking. Not being from the area and not quite knowing what we were walking into, I wasn't sure quite what to think of this. Maybe I'm spoiled, but don't appreciate having to walk through a cloud in order to enter. Maybe it's worth creating a 'smoker's patio' on the side of the building? I appreciate knowing this place is here and, if I'm in the neighborhood, would likely return and/or suggest to a friend. read more

My boyfriend loves this place so I checked it out with him this week. I understand why, the bartenders and regulars in the bar created a very warm and hospitable environment and I quickly felt welcomed. Specifically bartenders Tom and Natalie were working that day. The beer selection is so vast it was hard to choose what to order, having too many options is a good thing for my perspective. Highly recommend for craft beer lovers looking for a quaint, relaxed, welcoming environment. read more

One of the very best local craft brewery and Bourbon Bars in the tri-state. Excellent venue with games, art, outdoor patio, great selection, and excellent staff. Passionate owner who genuinely loves what he does. Many things stand out about the cozy location but one that really separates them are there ability to blend different beers and bourbons to great unique cocktails and beers that really go together well. They are like mad scientists but always deliver delicious libations to my discerning palette. I have always enjoyed their events too, music, trivia, and live performances are really fun. Love that they small have some good snack options as well. Highly recommend this if you ever get a chance. read more

Great neighborhood spot! I am so glad this opened right up the road from me. I really love the beer selection, it is definitely the biggest selection in the area. I also love the fact that they have a wider variety of tasting sizes than most other bars. Solid bourbon selection and a really nice atmosphere. It can be tricky to find from the road if you don't know where it is. It is behind Brentwood Liquors in a cozy little building. Easy parking. read more

What a hidden gem! No frills, just great craft beer in a relaxed environment. Their beer selection is very impressive. Much of the beer on tap I wouldn't be able to find at other local bars which tend to have the same beers on all of the time. Even more interesting is the way their tap list is set up and the fact that certain styles of beer are always on tap. Their bourbon and spirits selection is also vast and I can't wait to come back and try that part of the menu. read more

Good beer selection. Located behind the liquor store in the back, plenty or parking and good beer on tap. They have empanadas and popcorn for snacks. Definitely worth a trip. You can go around front and hit the liquor store as well! read more

The Lucky Turtle is a hidden gem! The beer and bourbon selection is top notch and reasonably priced. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. There's no pretentious attitude you sometimes get at craft beer bars. My buddies and I had an event here and it could not have gone better. Really fun place to relax, have a few drinks, and meet some new friends. Highly recommend! read more

This may be my new favorite hang out joint in the area. True, the pickings are a bit thin in Finneytown (ok, razor thin)..but Lucky Turtle would hold its own anywhere in town. Unpretentious, good beer selection, good spirits and even a proper dart board. Just a good place to hang out with your mates and tip a pint or two. read more

Dropped by to watch a playoff game on a Sunday afternoon...Totally love the selection of local brews, had checked it on Facebook prior to coming by and they had it all per advertised, so menu was current. Clean and aesthetically very pleasing! My only complaint was the bartender. Apparently, one loses hipster cool points if you are overly friendly or helpful. I knew they didn't serve food, so I asked who delivered here. He told me to check the board out front. Asked for the zip, so I could order my own, didn't know it. Why bother to ask if he knew the address? His pressing concern appeared to be charging his phone, then checking/texting. Positive hipster points, negative for tending bar. I think I will like this place a lot, I'll be back (Arnold Schwarzenegger) read more

Really liked this place. Owner was very engaging. Had some of his craft beers and a couple of craft bourbon cocktails. All very good. Just a cool little dive bar. read more

Phenomenal spot to chill and have a drink. The owner Frank is extremely knowledgeable about craft beers and cocktails.

What a fantastic place. Good beers, with great company makes this spot an easy go-to for you Finneytown folks. Lot's of beer options! If you have a food truck business, you need to be in this parking lot! I'm ready to go back already. Doesn't hurt that I can walk there either. read more

my favorite hang out in this part of the city! great selection, great people, great service! I would highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

A great neighborhood spot! Superb selection of craft beers on tap from the local area and beyond, casual atmosphere, unlimited arcade games... Need I say more? Frank is awesome. read more

20 microbrews on Tap, great selection of Bourbons, relaxed atmosphere, friendly service. outside "patio" area for smoking, cigars available for purchase. My new Favorite neighborhood Place. read more

The guys behind the bar are super friendly and very knowledgeable. We had as much conversation with them as we did with our group. Great selection of beers and bourbons. Taster sizes are great and the perfect price and size to try many. Will definitely come back. read more

Love this place!!!! Great Beer selection, as well as wine and bourbons, and super chill. I do enjoy the Naked Turtle mixed drink very much. Frank and the staff are awesome. read more

This place has some very hard to find beers, even with places like yard house (100 taps) it has better. Chill atmosphere and great knowledgeable service. The owner/ operator is usually on site and has awesome insight and suggestions. Very no pressure bar that is definitely worth the visit ! read more

Absolutely love this place. Awesome beers and bourbons, super friendly staff and clientele. My new favorite hang.

I really enjoy the Lucky Turtle. A rotating selection on 24 taps offered from 4 oz to 64 oz growler as well as a great selection of bourbon. Couldn't ask for a better local hangout. read more

They have a jazz band that plays every weds i really liked that. The owner was super friendly and fun to chat with. Their prices are good and have a ton of draft beers and always a sweet beer option for the ladies. I had a raspberry beer that was so yummy tasted like a wine cooler. They also have tons of bourbon options but the owner came up with his own mixed drinks for people who don't want beer or bourbon. He even has a mixed drink he puts jelly/jam in I'm going to try that next time. Very creative. It's a cute small bar but it does have a patio and cornhole. You gotta check it out very cute spot! read more
