Still continuing to love this place. I just love the nachos the most. I don't know why I love their Anderson nachos so much. Just great ingredients and flavors together! Depending on the time of day it can be difficult to find a seat here but looking forward to summer when the outside will open up again. Jonah was our server this time and he was awesome! So attentive and friendly. Definitely made sure he got a good tip! He made the ambiance just give us the impression that this place was a second home. Just very friendly and welcoming! Looking forward to always going back. read more

This is the place to go for shareable apps. Good deals for the apps. The BCD is The wings are good and crispy. I like the small vibe and when it's warm it's an awesome place to chill. Fair prices all around. read more

Came with a large group and was told to wait for tables large enough to finish up. We patiently waited, then the party waiting behind us walked in front of us and took the tables we were waiting for and the staff said absolutely nothing. Don't acknowledge what happened - just went and took their drink order. We finally got a seat and they didn't even acknowledge our existence. The food must be superb to receive such high ratings, because they sure aren't getting them from the service! We left and went somewhere else. read more

Let's talk about Oakley Pub. I figured I would order the Cajun fish tacos since it was Good Friday and am I glad I did. The portion was huge and flavorful. Nice choice! The kitchen staff was more than accommodating . Every wish was my command, lol. Order the onion rings instead of fries. Perfect amount of salt. Thanks for a wonderful day. read more

We had lunch at this neighborhood pub with friendly people and good food. Typical bar food, the burgers were excellent and wings were perfectly cooked. I had honey bbq sauce on mine. Just the right amount of sauce and seasoned perfectly. The kitchen was on it. Food came out quickly, presented well The noise level is reasonable, certainly not quiet but not so loud It blows you out of the place. This place hit all the check points. Good Pub food, nice portion size, Great service, Friendly people, Clean restaurant, reasonable prices. Sign says they have a happy hour. And there's an outdoor space for music. read more

Excellent food excellent service. The bar tender Chris made our experience one of the best I've had here. I ordered the Banana Jack burger and it's was so good. Didn't even need to add sauce on the burger. The spicy cheese curds were amazing some of the best I've had in a while. I also decided to try the Cold Brew Negroni and I was very glad I made that decision. It was so good. read more

Was on a trip in Cincinnati and was skeptical about going here due to not knowing if there were people of my kind. It was late and there were no food places open so upon arrival I was sad to hear that the kitchen was closed. However, I was pleasantly greeted by a bar tender who was very nice and went over and beyond as far as customer service. I wish I remembered his name but he helped us tremendously by going over and beyond and giving us restaurant suggestions that were still open and just overall a nice experience. I would def come back to try their food. Very nice establishment. read more

I went here after a long day and the food was just what I needed. The wings were the best I have ever had, crispy and flavorful! Their outside patio was a great place to sit. The service was a bit slow and sometimes rushed, but our server was always nice and attentive when he was at our table. Overall a good place to a snack and a beverage or sitting with the fam to watch a game. Definitely recommend the wings:) read more

Went here on a Monday as they were close to our son's new apartment. It was a Monday, so all day happy hour 1/2 price apps. We started with pretzel bites. They weren't super great as they seemed overcooked. The cheese was good though. Drinks were pretty good and not weak. We had Jack and Cokes. The star of the show were the wings, which we all ordered. One of us got the Caribbean Jerk Dry Rub, another the OPG Dry Rub and the other the Garlic Mild. The rubs were really good. The OPG was not spicy, just kind of a sweet and tangy rub. Very good. The garlic was not soaked in butter, which was a nice change from other garlic wings I've had. Great flavor without all the grease. Veggies and dips were all tasty and the veggies were fresh. Solid wing place for sure. Maybe next time we'll try something else... maybe not. read more

Came in on a Tuesday, after a not so great day at work. Food was average, kinda warm, not hot & fresh. My glass was never refilled, nor was I asked for one, while the guy next to me was freshened up frequently with beer & shots. The bartender was complaining the entire time about someone playing music on the touch tunes, how dare they!! I guess they wanted to hear their person playlist? Overall not great, disappointing food & service. read more

Great, reasonably priced food on a nice patio. They are working on the tiki garden upgrade now! read more

This is the Second time visiting and the food is delicious. It's the kind of food where you think about it all work week. The Burger is great and this second time we tried the Blue burger and omg it was delicious. Their wings witheither of the dry rubs are outstanding. Try the blue cheese dressingwith them as it is super thick and chunky deliciousness "note I don't even normally get blue cheese". Above all else ...you have to try the Spicy cheese curds. The slaw is unique and tasty. The onion rings are good tasting and crisp. Every dish is worth the price for such an exceptional taste bud adventure. July 16 2024 again everything excellent. Burger perfectly medium... Wings perfection... read more

My family loves the Pub! Went on 1/17 with my Son, his wife and daughter which was a Saturday night. It was a football game night and it was crowded with people waiting. As always the food was delicious. For an appetizer we had Crab Cakes which were delicious! My son and I had wings, and I always get their signature Salad as it's also scrumptious. DIL had a Cheeseburger which she said was really good, and my granddaughter had their Chili. I highly recommend the Oakley Pub! read more

Great spot to hang out! The indoor is a bar, they keep it clean but I would never choose it over the outdoor area. They have a great full service patio good for anyone with part shaded. They also have a more relaxed area without full service but a walk up bar and orders coming to you by number. We each got an appetizer and shared a full salad with chicken, a couple beers later and got out below $50 for 2! Everything on the plates was great, we're definitely coming back. read more

I stop by here before a Yelp event for a quick bite to eat. This is definitely a local hangout where everyone knows you. I ate at the bar where the bartender gave great service and was quick and attentive. I ordered a Greek veggie wrap with their cabbage crunch salad. The salad is delicious and full of flavor. They also have a nice wine list. It's a cute place that makes you feel at home read more

We are seeing a show at 20th Century Theater and wanted to eat beforehand at someplace close. Well, ya can't get much closer than Oakley Pub and Grill. This will not be our only visit!! We shared the chips and queso, crunchy cabbage salad and the blue collar worker (40 oz Miller High Life and 20 wings). Each had a cub of chili. The food and service were fantastic! I think my favorite was the chili but hard to pick over the wings, salad and queso. I didn't get any pictures of the food except the wings we are taking to go. I highly recommend this place!!! Excited to come back and try something different! read more

What went well? Everything. If you are looking a little upscale Dive Bar The Oakley is it. Smallish on the inside but a cool large patio outside. I like sitting at the bar and this one did not disappoint with its super cool copper top. (It's upscale rather than just divy because of there selection of beer, cocktails & quality of food) The beer selection was great with everything in cans except a few great draught selections. As for the food... well the Chili is a must. I also liked the simple menu and I made the choice of the Club sandwich.... Like I said simple but totally on point. The twist was it came with a cabbage slaw that was absolutely tremendous. If you're in Cinci and you want legit & simple ..... Oakley Pub and Grille should be a target. read more

Food and drinks were super tasty. We had Brian as our server and loved our time there! He suggested that we sit downstairs which was completely open for us. Brian offered information about specials and their best drinks. Definitely ask for him if you stop! The atmosphere of the place was great for a night out with friends. read more

Terrible experience! We came at a time when they weren't particularly busy on a Monday. Got our waters and then waited 30 minutes after that before we decided to leave because no one had came back. read more

Food was fine but overpriced although we waited for an hour for it. Waitress acted like she was inconvenienced by our existence. Super rude and rolled her eyes every time we asked for anything. Restaurant interior was gross. Bathrooms were disgusting and the floor looks like it hasn't been vacuumed since the place was built. Not a great experience. read more

How can I have overlooked reviewing this place for years? I often come here on Wednesdays for Burgermania. For $10.95 you get a delicious burger with lettuce, onion, pickle, and mayo, plus up to 5 toppings, with waffle fries or their special slaw, or half of each. Plenty of other good food on the menu, too. Today the kitchen left the crunchies out of the slaw, but it was still special enough for me. read more

We went to this restaurant on 09/23/2024 and this is place is the worse! we had to wait to order, wait to get our foo and had to wait to get the bill! We never got refills and the place had 7 people in it and the other 5 people had food already. We were so upset that the food was just ok and then the waitress would not come to the table again ! we could see her on cell phone the whole time she even went to the restroom to text/ talk on it ... don't go here ever read more

I ordered chicken wings and a bloody Mary. The bloody Mary was great. The garnishes were awesome and the bloody Mary was the perfect ratio of spicy and boozy. However I bit into my chicken wings and they seem fine but the bone broke and I noticed inside of the bone of the chicken wing was red and bloody and almost felt raw. I know that that was the inside of the bone marrow that was red and bloody and runny and it shouldn't really matter but I know that's a sign of wings that were previously frozen. It also just kind of grossed me out that the bone marrow wasn't fully cooked so then my wings became inedible to me. However, I finished the bloody Mary and it was delicious but next time I'm really looking forward to a better dining experience. I love the outside bar at this place. The TVs are great, so I really want to be able to come back when it's warm out and try again. read more

Been here a few times and enjoyed myself. At first I didn't know how Tuesday trivia would work in such a small place but luckily there's a back room with plenty of extra seating. There's also a speaker system so you can hear from any spot. This was our first time ordering food and we enjoyed it all! The cabbage crunch was delicious, and I highly recommend the pretzel bites - we ordered a second plate they were so good. Good beer specials and an extensive food and drink menu so there's something for everyone. PS the Yelp page says they are closed on Tuesdays but they are actually open. Would return read more

Food is great, best lobster rolls in town. The burgers are great. Service is usually good, but during busy hours it can be a little slow. I've only had 1 less than great experience (out of the 10s of times we've been), but even then food was out quickly just a bit cold. Very much so a casual bar/dining experience great for meeting up with friends read more

Food was fantastic! Best burger and onion rings. Try the Asian salad. I had the Memphis Burger.

Great sports bar hangout! While I've been to OPG many times now, it has never disappointed! The service is always killer and it's a good place for inexpensive drinks and food. They have a nice patio that is enjoyable all year round. The draft menu is always changing and local brews are also on tap. There are also daily food specials. If you aren't in the mood for traditional fried bar food, they also have a good selection of salads and sandwiches. My favorite is the buffalo chicken wrap with ranch instead of blue cheese - it never disappoints. I would argue they have the best waffle fries in the city! read more

This is a quaint little neighborhood sports bar with a laid back friendly feel. The servers were prompt and friendly. The food was delicious and the coleslaw was AWESome! The menu had Tradinial offerings, plus a few healthy choices (Caesar salad with tilapia was fabulous). Definitely will visit again to try the patio seating (and the nachos). read more

The last time I was there and sat outside, it smelled like sewage and we waited for a long time before a server came so we just left.

The chicken sandwich was so over cooked it was similar to Jerry. My onion rings were dark brown and well over cooked that you didn't eat them. At no time did anyone check with us to see if our meal was okay. Just brought the check and bever said anything. read more

Stopped in for dinner with my husband and 2 month old. Sat inside, booth was big enough for the infant car seat to fit in. We split the Anderson Nachos and added blackened chicken (choice of grilled or friend or blackened) and they were amazing and hit the spot. Husband got the onion rings and black and blue burger made to order medium rare. He said the burger was *kinda* medium rare. It was also very very messy and hard to eat. But he said it was decent. I had the Reuben with pastrami and waffle fries. It was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Good place to watch a game and have good bar food. For that I'm rounding 4.5 stars to 5. I've also eaten on their patio before which is nice. Service is attentive and fast. read more

Dropped in before a show at a neighboring venue. Sat for over 5 minutes, maybe close to 10 minutes with no service. Walked out.

The burgers are pretty good and I like the option to sit outside on a nice day with your pup.

We love this place. Staff are prompt, friendly and service is pretty quick. Daily specials are usually a variation of the regular menu which is diverse but mainstay bar offerings. Good local and regional beer selections with 4-5 rotating taps. Food is nothing fancy but fresh ingredients and reliably good. But it's the SLAW that is irresistible and addicting. I noticed previous comments, from 2015, mention the slaw. It is still great. Slightly Asian, crunchy, not vinegary or mayonaise-y, and always hits the spot. read more
