Came here after dinner and its very beautiful bar The happy hour is phenomenal with 9 dollar house martinis manhattans and old fashioned cocktail of the week and wine Five dollar beers The only downfall its so loud The acoustics are not good

Tiger's Eye
Neha G.

A cool new cocktail bar offering modern elegance with its sophisticated furniture and cozy lighting. The place is upscale, but inviting and unpretentious. Our friendly server was great about suggesting popular drinks & her favorites. We got the Ruby, Tiger' Eye, & Amber. One section has booth seating (like a restaurant) and bar, while the other side is more of a lounge. Good drinks. Very impressed with the service, cocktails, & overall vibe.

Ver very nice place! Good drinks, swanky vibes. Bartenders were very nice including the manager on duty 2/14. Making a reservation for next time soon.

Tigers Eye
Teri E.

Our party of 3 stopped in for an after dinner cocktail on Saturday evening. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately. The vibe is 70s Vegas/hipster/jazz. Really fun! The bartenders were fun to watch. Very efficient and accurate. I had the Tigers Eye and it was great. Well balanced and tasty. The music is accompanied by a roving saxophonist, adding to the jazzy vibe. Fun place to stop in for a drink or two.

We came to Prim for a last minute GNO and Woww this place is a vibe. We did not make a reservation and the staff is very friendly- a bartender grabbed a table for us when the party before us had gotten up and left. The drinks are truly one of a kind and so good- I got the one that is espresso martini inspired with bruleed banana vodka. You cannot go wrong! I love how the place encourages to put phones down and be present in the moment- "privacy is the last luxury" they say. I truly only had my phone out to snap these pics! I want to come back and be able to sit in the seating area to the left - it looked really cool.

Newest night club in Cincinnati on W 5th St. Awesome vibes, good drinks and great service. Love the interior of this place, who ever designed and built it out knew what they were doing to draw people into this place.

Considering this place just opened a few weeks. It was a weekend Sunday. we checked this speakeasy place out. Not busy at all. The drinks name was uniquely named. The place is all pink girlie vibe. Located in the prime downtown of Cincinnati. Definitely a place to bring your ladies out for a night out and have a drink. No special occasion when we went in. It was quiet and mellow here.

Colonel M.

Amazing atmosphere and the staff were extremely pleasant and cheerful. Stopped for a drink and got a shot in a chocolate cup

Faux morganite - mocktail
Ebony P.

Our server was so sweet! Came with a group of friends and they were able to get us a seat within 10-15 minutes. We didn't realize it was a reservation night but they were accommodating. I ordered a mocktail - it was very good! Will definitely come back! They have live shows which was a great surprise.

This cocktail speakeasy was so beautiful! Loved the dark intimate girly pink ambiance bc yall know pink is my color! My expresso martini was delicious! I had 2! The music and vibe was great as well. Our server was super sweet. It was a slow Sunday but still had a good time here.

Banana Espresso Martini
Peggy G.

Very cool place. Bar tenders are friendly and fun. The banana espresso martini is fantastic!

This is the cutest bar and I'm so glad to have this new addition to Cincinnati. The design on the interior is so different in the best way. The mood curated by the owners is spot on. I've been here twice now and had the best time each time. The drinks are a little on the higher side, but I'm not mad at in the variety of options of course is always amazing. It's very inclusive. They have mock tails as well. Perfect spot for a girls night or to just get some friends together. The playlist is always great, and I love how the music is not too loud to where you can still have a conversation with the people you come with. Amazing job Prim!

Banana bread expresso
Ashley C.

WOW! This place is so cool! I was in Covington for a wedding and the entire wedding party decided…read moreto stop by for a few drinks. Despite having such a large group, drinks were out fast and there was plenty of seating. 2 things stick out here: Decor and the Drinks. Both were impeccably done. The nature meets wood and brick aesthetic is so purposefully laid out and when the eye cruises across the landscape it's so satisfying!! We had a LOT of drinks, but the jade river, el toro rojo, and pacific muse were our favorites. The drinks are priced pretty well ($12-$14) and the service was very prompt, always cleaning up empty glasses and clearing space for more people to sit. I for SURE recommend this place as a spot to come and throw a couple rounds back. We stayed for hours and drank and talked our hearts out! Thank you for such a wonderful night. 5 stars.

If you haven't been to Second Story, you NEED to check it out! This place has the best vibes!

They offer delicious seasonal drinks, and every drink & shot I've tried has been amazing! My absolute favorite thing I've had here (and one of the best drinks I've ever had period) is their S'mores Espresso Martini! It's literally perfection; aesthetically it's fun but still well composed as any espresso martini should be; it's has the right balance of sweet & coffee, & all of the flavors really make it taste like you're drinking an espresso flavored s'more! If you see this on the menu, it is a must try!

Somerset has been on my list for years of places in Cincinnati I wanted to check out and we finally…read moregot to go today! We got there just when they opened, at 2pm on a Sunday so naturally they weren't busy which was fine with us! We were greeted at the sidewalk by an employee on a stool who told us the adjoining foodtruck wasn't open but we could door dash from somewhere else if we'd like. This place is so cool! There are so many little divided up areas with eclectic seating, both inside and out. The courtyard is especially nice. When we ordered cocktails, I was deciding between two and the bartender said the one is her favorite so I went with that and she was right, it was very well balanced and really tasty: The Maria Sabina with fig-date tequila, rosemary honey, cinnamon balsamic, and lemon. Honestly all the cocktails sounded really good so we have an excuse to go back and try more!

The outdoor garden patio area was amazing with plenty of seating as well as more hidden/private spots. I loved the projector outside playing clips from old movies as well. Definitely the perfect place to bring a group of friends or celebrate something! To drink we ordered the famous down under, ube margarita, and banana espresso martini shots. The ube margarita tasted like a jolly rancher, it was so good. Prices were also very fair.

This place is awesome! My husband and I were in town for the Bears/Bengals game and, after seeing…read morethe great reviews, we decided to stop here for dinner before the game. First, the location is awesome-literally cattycorner from the stadium and the ambiance is great since the owner is from Ireland, the place really looks like an Irish pub (according to my husband, who has been to Ireland many times.) I love the cozy dining nooks dotted around the restaurant. We expected it to be slammed packed and it was busy, but we were able to get right in. We had the best waitress. She was so friendly and really chatted it up with us and made awesome menu recommendations. The food was so freakin' good! Since it was a gameday, they were only doing a limited menu but there was something on there for everyone. We tried the two wings on offer-BFG & Hot Honey, as well as the Big Bag of Fries. The food came out pretty quickly and was piping hot. OMG. The wings were so good. I literally couldn't pick a favorite flavor. I usually don't like thicker cut fries but the waitress assured me that I would like them and she was right! They were so crispy and the Marie Rose and homemade ranch sauces complimented them perfectly. Be aware that the Big Bag of Fries is just that, big! So definitely shareable. I'm obviously not in Cincy often, but the next time I'm there, I will definitely stop in!
