    A Bengal's pre-game staple for sure... we had a beer and hung here before a Lions vs Bengals game and were glad we did. Great live music, lively crowd and a true Irish bar vibe. Its very crowded on game days, but it is possible to get a table if you wait or come early. While we didnt eat here, the food looked amazing and was priced fairly. Its a 10 minute walk from here to either stadium. Lots of live entertainment options inside or nearby. Will definitely come here again

    We were disappointed in the food and drink choices. The food was overly greasy and very bland. It's real hard to make bland fries. The drink choices very very limited for a place that proposed to be "authentic." If you want a Guinness before a show then this place is fine but otherwise...pass.

    Down on the Banks here having a beer in this Irish pub. Tavern food is served here. A convenient spot for hitting before or after a game. Parking on the street- metered at a box or by app. 2.75 per hour with 3 hr max. Staff at the bar was really good. If you're going, you have to do a Guinness or one of their Irish coffees.

    This place is lovely and since Ireland is one of my favorite places I love this place even more First of all the decor is spot on. Irish sayings all over posters and red color makes it pop. The bartender was wonderful made me a decaf expresso martini. Delicious. I didn't eat but my hubby got the shepherds pie 10/10. This place makes me want to kiss the Blarney Stone

    Derick from TikTok recommended this place. Said it's his favorite place in Ohio. So we had to check it out on our trip. Greeted right away and the staff was super friendly. Our waiter was the guy from the TikTok and I forgot his name. Shame on me. But was real friendly and helpful. Went over a few menu items for us. The atmosphere was great. It was in a game night for the Reds so fun crowd. My wife got the fish and chips and they were fantastic. I got the menu off their "secret" menu and it was really good. Service was quick. Food was hot. Drinks were cold. You should check it out.

    Food was severed at the perfect temperature and tasted as good as it looked! Drinks were great the food was tasty! Busy before the game but so was every bar/restaurant! Alex served us and did great even as crazy as the place was, so packed wall to wall!

    Fun w music Nice service at the bar Had to ask to put on the Reds game Would have thought at bar so close that'd be a priority but seems they focus on music which is fine. He was good. Seemed to be some fans there. Didn't know who it was. Good songs.

    The Red Leprechaun was by far my favorite establishment to visit in Cincinnati. For starters, the service was the best we received. The bar tender came to our table, gave suggestions, refilled our waters without asking, answered any questions we had, was super attentive, and overall engaging. The vibe is pretty cool. Like an Irish bar, but in tones of red and whimsical light-up signs. They have a phone booth you can record messages on that they play on their social media. They also have live music during the day, not just at night - and it was no cover. The drinks were fantastic and priced well. Their espresso martini was by far the best I've ever had. Truly delicious and amazing. I highly recommend that if you're visiting Cinci, or live there, you need to check this place out.

    Came ate and conquered I wanted a hotdog and a hotdog is what I got with a bag of fries and three dipping sauces on the side. Added plus is the live country music singer Elias Gomez. Ask for Alex when you walk through the door

    Stopped here for a quick pint before the game. Place was packed, but lucked into seats right at the bar. It was elbow to elbow, but everyone was in a party mood. Beer was flowing and everyone was happy! Really cool decor in kind a pay phone booth! Would definitely come back

Maybe the waitress was new, but she took forever to come and help us, our glasses stayed empty, and it took an extra 15 minutes just to get the check. Appetizer None Main Course - Crab cake and toast was a huge hit with my wife. Though she wasn't sure how to eat it and the egg wasn't runny as she wanted, she enjoyed it. - 9/10 - Steak and fries with chimichurri was quite delicious. The bourbon bbq sauce for the fries I highly recommend. Steak was a bit over cooked but tasty. - 8/10 Dessert - Brulé cheese cake was light and fantastic. The berries consisted of 4 blueberries. Would have been nice with a few strawberries or raspberries- 8/10

Our server, McKenna, took great care of us the whole evening. She was friendly, engaging, accommodating, and just did an overall great job. Pro tip, go during happy hour for great prices on appetizers and drinks. The appetizer pricing was so good we were able to order more than planned. We got the duck fat fries, brussels sprouts, and buffalo chicken. The duck fat fries came with a delicious garlic aïoli. The brussels sprouts were just perfect. And the buffalo chicken with some of the best I've had in a long time. I had never had cock-a-leekie before, so I tried that too. It was a nice, warm, comfort food. For our entrées, several of us got fish and shrimp. It was delicious and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce sauces were perfect. The highlighter of the evening for me was my mocktail. I noticed the drink menu had a cucumber elderberry drink, but I do not drink alcohol, so I ask if they would be willing to make something like it as a mocktail. It was genuinely one of the best mock tails I've ever had. It was so good. I asked if the bartender would mind sharing what she did so I could make some version of it at home. She happily obliged and wrote it down for me. Overall, a wonderful experience that will definitely have me recommending Nicholsons to friends and family!

    At the spur of the moment, I decided to swing by this place on St. Patrick's Day. I looked at the…read morebusiness hours of according to the hours posted on yelp so I made it a point to be there at or after 11 AM. The place was busy as heck and it was a little challenging to find parking because it's part of a strip mall and other restaurants on the strip. Also need places for their customers to park. I found out when I got there that it turns out for St. Patrick's Day specifically they open at 8 AM instead of the normal 11 AM. Consequently, the entire restaurant was full, all seats were taken, even at the bar. And because they had Entertainment, starting at 9 AM. They started charging a five dollar cover charge. Not really a big deal when you consider they had a couple bins of live entertainment as well as a DJ who serviced the outdoor seating area later in the afternoon. At the entry table there were a couple T-shirt designs for sale at $20 each as well as free bead, necklaces, gold or green. I was told that at the very beginning at opening they also had little green hats, but I was too late for them. Browse around, everyone was having fun, talking and music was pretty loud, but it was a fun vibe. Eventually, I found a single little table in the outdoor seating area. It's included in some sort of Long tent assembly, which I think is a metal frame covered by a tarp or what almost looks like denim material. When you look across the bottom of the material all the way around the perimeter, you can see the wind blowing in there underneath. In the outdoor exterior seating portion, there were four of those tall large heating elements, but even though I was merely two or 3 feet away from one I only got a little bit of the heat from where I was seated. It was welcome, for sure, but wish I were warmer. Lol. Coincidentally, I also made the mistake of only come in with a hoodie. Again, I thought or assumed they were opening at 11 AM so I thought I'd easily find a spot inside. Also coincidentally it was cold as heck, so cold that sometimes when I talked, my teeth were chattering, and I could see my breath as I spoke The waitresses were great, and the ambience was pretty cool. They had a special St. Patrick's Day menu and from the drink menu, I ordered an Irish coffee, and part to stay warm, and something that was a 50/50 combination of two types of Guinness beer. The game plan to have a hot beverage along with a beer seemed like a good idea initially but then sometime during the meal I switched it so I was drinking the beer, faster than I was the Irish coffee, so the plan backfired when the Irish coffee soon cooled off. Lots of awesome stuff on the menu. I think a little of the pricey side, but I can look past that if I go for a special occasion. Although I wanted to order most everything on the menu, I ended up getting Irish eggrolls (I'm told it's hot seller), and corn, beef and cabbage (you know, because the St. Patrick's Day) both were delicious. I always trim off the pieces of fat off the outside of the slices of corned beef, which I must say were extremely lean, which I appreciate. The cabbage was delicious and I wish there was a lot more with it. And if I'm not mistaken, there was mashed potatoes along with it. Kind of shaped like an upside down bowl like they do in Asian restaurants. It had a delicious, homemade horseradish sauce, and I had to order an extra little cup of it on the side, so I had enough. The Irish eggrolls were delicious and kind of reminded me of a Reuben sandwich, just in eggroll form. The waitresses looked great in there uniforms and were real troopers considering how freaking cold the weather was. If I remember, one of them was wearing jean pants, while another was wearing warm leggings. Bad props to them for braving the weather to serve us people in the outdoor seating area. We appreciate you and your hard work! While seated outdoors, a woman came around and they were doing some kind of drawing that you could participate in. Something like, "win the pot ". Restrooms were fine. I can only speak for the men's room obviously since I went solo. Overall, a fun time. Live entertainment. I think they were supposed to be dancing girls, but I didn't see any. I think it was when I was focused on eating and staying warm. I did manage to catch a guy doing bagpipes though. That was cool. I don't know if she worked for the restaurant/pub, but there was a woman going around offering these little adjustable rings to all the women around the restaurant. That was a cool touch. They look like little gemstones. A definite recommend!

Even better, the space is free to rent, which is such a huge bonus! There are multiple TVs upstairs, and the staff was great about changing the channels on a few so we could watch a specific football game. Little touches like that made the night even better. The only downside was the bar situation downstairs. Knowing there was a large party booked, I really wish they had staffed more bartenders. Our guests mentioned that it was taking quite a while to get drinks, and eventually a few people ended up going next door instead. Overall, though, the space itself was fantastic and worked out great for the party, just hoping next time they're better staffed for big events!
