    Oak Salad (Chicken or Tilapia)
    Jeff M.

    Cool little bar In Oakley neighborhood of Cincinnati's east side. Nice outdoor seating, great atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. I stopped by with a friend for lunch. I totally went against my norm and didn't get wings. (Anytime wings are on a menu I try) I had the "Oak Tavern" chicken garden salad. I was somewhat disappointed as there were no frills here. At $9.99 I was expecting a nice large lunch style salad. What was served was a small side salad with chicken cubes on top . I have not wrote off the Oak Tavern completely. I will return for the wings and a beer next time. I should have followed my intuition and previous Yelpers reviews in doing so.

    10 Smoked and Grilled Wings

    The wings at Oak Tavern are just incredible! They were big, perfectly cooked, juicy, and super flavorful. I have been dreaming about them ever since. The service was a little slow, which is understandable because the place was packed. However the ambiance was not conducive for conversation. The inside of the restaurant has nothing to absorb the sound, and the music was blisteringly loud. I asked our server if she could turn it down, and she did. I really appreciated that, but it went back up as more people came in throughout the evening. It was so loud I could barely hear the person next to me. Next time I go, I'll try to sit outside and see if it's any better out there. But I'll definitely go back for those wings!

    Oak Tav is one of those places where the overall vibe/ambiance is just as good as the food. The staff is friendly and hard-working, and while most people rave about the wings (which ARE pretty amazing), I cannot get enough of the grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Cooked to perfection!

    It was my first time here and so excited I was invited out to enjoy some golf wings and drinks. Parking available in the street at meters. I went on a Sunday, so the meters were free. Anyway, back to the wings! With their welcoming smoky flavor and several choices of wing sauces, I couldn't get enough. I didn't know there was another good smoky wing spot besides the one downtown and happy I have another option. Each sauce was delicious but my favorite was the spicy garlic. Oh I forgot to mention the blue cheese. It was good too with nice sized cheese chunks in it! Don't walk, run to this place. It's definitely a delicious!

    I'm a bar food lover and this didn't disappoint. We had the kids with us (8 & 10), I wouldn't suggest taking kids any younger as they mostly have high top tables. They do have some regular tables outside. I hear this bar is for Brown's fans and my husband said it gets extremely crowded for Browns games. Anyway, the wings definitely make my top 5 in the city. I'm a sauce queen and to get a variety of sauces placed right on your table tops it off for me. The sauces didn't taste like cheap sauces you buy from Kroger, they were legit. My chef salad was loaded with ingredients and I would order again to stay on the lighter side. Onion rings and crinkle cut fries were good. Service was impressive at a spot like this. I will absolutely be back for more wings and tasty sauces.

    Oak tavern has a good patio space for social distancing right now. They have loads of good beer and their wings are so crispy!

    This is my third and final chance for the local post. 1st time was great 2nd was okay. 3rd was…read morecomical I went to local post at 630 and not a soul there. I go to find a seat and got helped 5 minutes later I got a water from the cook. Then our "server" came over with headphones in and took our order. (Quite ridiculous since this is a high end bar and grill) The service was so bad, I had to go to the bar to get a box and my checks. The service comes back with our digital check tablet and is on the phone while we are paying. The fries are good tho! I ordered the East End burger and got an over cooked patty that was 100% frozen. All in all for $24, I'd go anywhere else. The only reason I went there is because Hi mark was packed.

    Local Post has lots of TVs, making it a great spot to watch sporting events.

The food is always pretty good, but not great where I'm like "omg this is SO good!" I ordered the chicken bacon ranch pizza, which had good flavor but felt like it was missing something; maybe a bit more seasoning or being cooked slightly longer. The toppings were also sliding off, which made it a little messy to eat. Overall, a decent place to grab drinks and catch a game!
