    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Gorgeous , the expresso is worth every dollar. The decor is inviting , the staff are informative and the menu provides a wide selection with a full har . This is now my favorite bar downtown . I would like a better du but does it even matter if you get enough drinks .. lol

    Decided to come after dinner to see if they had availability at the bar. Lucky enough we just had to wait outside for about 15mins. The ambiance inside is great and the vibes were high. Lots of people socializing. I do think there were a bit too many people at the bar compared to places to sit down. Next time I want to get a reservation so we can sit and listen to the live music. I would say this is the same as Ghost Baby but above ground. I would want to see some difference between the two to make them their own unique self. The drinks are pricy and for not too much in them, but were crafted well. If you are planning to visit especially with a large group try and make a reservation ahead of time.

    We visited Prim for the first time on February 20 while in Cincinnati celebrating our daughter's birthday. We've been to Ghost Baby many times and were excited to check out the new spot. We didn't have a reservation, so we started with drinks at the sidebar. The ambiance is incredible -- it truly feels like you've stepped into a scene from Goodfellas or Casino. Such a cool, immersive vibe. After we got our drinks, I spoke with the host, Veronica, and let her know we were a party of four without a reservation but would love a table if anything opened up, even just for a couple rounds of drinks. Within 15 minutes, she had us seated in a booth where we could relax and enjoy the live music. Our server, Jhene, was fantastic -- so patient and helpful while we decided on drinks and walked us through the options. The service really made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend Prim!
