Best matzah ball soup I've had in recent memory. Burgers are luscious. Sides are savory and satisfying. Mornay sauce can go on everything, IMO. Our server, Chris, was well versed in the menu and confidently pointed out his favorites. Drinks were boozy and fun. The lemon bar dessert had a great crust. Very chill, friendly atmosphere. We will be back for sure! read more

I understand we are in a global pandemic, I do. But I am so disappointed. I had reservations booked 2+ weeks in advance and upon arriving, My 7:15pm reservation for 5 people was not "ready" until 7:38, with no explanation nor apology. Instead, we were rudely yelled to "GET OUTSIDE" and that our reservation wasn't valid despite visual confirmation via email confirmations, app confirmations via open table, emails, etc. 25 minutes after our reservation we were seated by the SWEETEST hostess and the best waiter - just wish there wasn't so much pride in making a mistake! Food wise, their menu is small and very boutique. The starburst (a shcofferhofer and cider blend) is delicious. 2/5 people at the table got dinner 20 minutes before the others. Service was mediocre. The dirty French burger was great, fried for an extra $6 were fine. Most likely won't dine again, mainly in thanks to the rudest of hostesses. read more

The matzo ball soup was delicious. Not an easy place to eat a vegan meal (easier to eat vegetarian). I just gave up and ate chicken broth...and it was great. The cocktails were good. read more

This is not your ordinary wedge salad, so don't overlook it due to its simplistic title. It was delightfully balanced with a little punch on the back of each bite; I nearly forgot it was not my entree! My husband enjoyed the diner breakfast; his favorite element was the ricotta pancakes, but the soft scramble eggs were a very close second. And, the pork belly? Devine! We planned to eat elsewhere, but were quite happy with this accidental find. read more

In town in transit to drop son at college and wanted a celebratory dinner out. Sacred Beast ticked all the boxes...Fun, thoughtful food and the service was superb. read more

Good food. High price. No towels or air dryers in the bathroom. Strange. Very hipster place. PBR on tap. That says it all.

This was a fairly new restaurant that i tried. It's known for its burgers but they have salmon,scallopps and a variety of others great tasting foods. read more

My best friend and I had the best experience at this restaurant. The restaurant has a very clean/modern look to it. The staff is very professional and friendly. The food was amazing. The music was great. Great place to have brunch and celebrate a special occasion or simply just hang out. Management was great as well. We all look for great customer service and I will say that you will get that here. Thanks for the great experience guys. read more

See all

Great food and really cool atmosphere. We tried the wedge salad, pork belly, turmeric chicken thighs, deviled eggs, and the burger. It was all amazing. The burger was prepared as their gluten free option which had the patties on top of a thick hash brown. Very unique and extremely tasty. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone. Our kids who are usually picky eaters ate everything too! We will definitely be coming back for more soon. read more

Had dinner with 10 friends and we all LOVED our meals!! They accommodated our large group seamlessly... and they take reservations! I can't wait to go back!!! read more

The food was decent, but I would have to say it's definitely late night, tipsy food. I wouldn't be eager to go back. The old school diner feel is cool. read more

I've never been in a restaurant where so much care and quality went into the design of the sound system. This has got to be the best sound system I've ever encountered in any restaurant around the world. We are lucky to have this spot and I will return every day before it gets too popular. The food is superb, but ask about the music, their system and how they select the tracks. Your mind will be blown. read more

They don't have a huge menu, but I like it that way. The things they do, they do very well. The tuna and egg salad was phenomenal and it's not something that I would normally order. I've had other cuisine from their chef's creation and it's always top notch. Definitely worth a try. read more

Sacred Beast - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Food was really good and the staff was exceptional. They played music so loud that it really ruined the experience and opportunity to have a conversation with my wife. We even asked for it to be turned down with no luck. Hopefully they will make the adjustments to the volume bc we'd love to go back. read more

I've eaten here many times. The food is generally pretty good. A few items are hit or miss. The service is always really good and they are a great place to good for parties. Their drinks are very good. read more

Loved the burger, appreciated the hash brown as a bun instead of a typical burger bun. Also loved the Covington iced tea- great drink! Only thing I didn't love is that I noticed one of the chefs was texting on his phone wearing his gloves on that he was also using to prepare food? Kinda gross IMO... Overall, would go back. Solid menu and great atmosphere. read more

Staff were very, very friendly. Food was incredibly fast and delicious. Tables are spaced apart and plexiglass installed. Excellent

Best ricotta pancakes I've ever had, will ever have. A "diner" really underplays how good the food is.

Fantastic food, service and ambience. We got the burger (no bun) with added pork belly with a side of marinated cucumbers and pork rinds. The food is amazing, the waitress said the burger tasted like a gourmet White Castle burger and it went above that! The service was great and they let us bring our puppy on the patio. We will definitely be coming back to try the cocktails and more food. read more

The diner breakfast and broccoli caesar salad were perfect for two people. We also had the matza ball soup and it was very good... just used to chicken broth instead of beef broth, but still very very good. Service was great and everyone checked on us. It was a great experience. We will definitely go back! read more

I love the ambience. It's casual chic. The bar tending and wait staff burst into an impromptu YMCA dance and song bit when the song started playing, while we enjoyed an amazing and quick dinner. Open till late, great food. Can't complain. read more

Brunch menu was amazing. Unique combinations that were delicious! I tried the nitro coffee but wasn't as impressed as I was hoping for.

Delicious with a capital D! I typically order the Matza Ball soup as it never disappoints with a side of fries. Both very tasty. Recently, I've had the shrimp cocktail and was pleasantly surprised and the corn beef hash special and it was quite yummy. The ambiance is warm and inviting, be it Sunday Brunch or Friday night dinner. The drink menu offers a lot, and I'm very fond of the Peach Bellini. I highly recommend. read more

My husband and I were very excited to checkout new OTR place! SB has a very nice, OTR-cool vibe. It is comfortable and spacious - which is a welcome alternative to some of the tiny eateries in OTR that get so packed. Right away we noticed some huge booths that would see 6-8 ppl which is just about impossible anywhere else in the neighborhood. All staff were extremely friendly. We were very comfortable. As we were just snacking our way around OTR(which we frequently do), we sat down at the bar- comfortable to eat at, although you probably won't need to eat here if you don't want to, as this is a very large restaurant. The menu is 2/3 cocktails 1/3 food. For a restaurant this size, I felt this ratio should be switched. I wouldn't say this menu screams "diner", as it was missing a nice list of comfort food (expected with a twist in OTR) that one would expect. (Roasted beets sounded good, tartar- not for me on a regular basis unless its sushi). We ended up ordering a burger to share. The burger was a solid GOOD. I wouldn't say excellent (although my husband might) and definitely not the best burger in OTR. Otherwise, the menu had some things I'd like to try, but nothing that made me leave saying "We MUST come back here ASAP to try the .....?". Based on the street cred of the chef, I rated SB 4 stars. Will definitely go back and try some other dishes. Hoping I can then rate it 5! (I do find myself hoping that Jeremy amps up the menu!) read more

Has the owner eaten at Bakersfield, Senate or Eagle? This place is not going to last. Overpriced and disappointing. The diner breakfast was okay, but not even close to being worth $13! The korean fried chicken was served in a popcorn container with water down sauce and a sad side of cucumbers. At least add some kimchi! read more

I have been here a few times and it never disappoints. Their steak tartare is fantastic but the burgers will keep me coming back for more.

Food was very good. Vibe was also good. Bit pricey on the drinks. $9 drafts, even if a craft beer is tough in a town overflowing with breweries. Go for the food and drink iced tea. read more

One of the few late-night locations that makes you feel welcome any time of the night. Fridays and Saturdays they're open until 2:30, a perfect last stop to fill your stomach after a night out. I really enjoyed the Korean Fried Chicken, the sweet and spicy sauce was just the right combination; with an impressive heat after taste that you just wouldn't expect. The Watermelon and Feta salad is a perfect light and delicious dish to enjoy on the outdoor patio! Aside from the delicious food the bar hosts an impressive display of beers and wine on tap, and a knowledgeable bartender staff ready and waiting to mix up a house cocktail or shot. The restaurants reel-to-reel sound system paired with the oddly effective modern acoustic architecture let's you hear the music without being drowned by it. Great place, I'm here at least once a week. read more

Love it! The food is awesome, I didn't know what to get so I settled on the watermelon feta salad. It was perfect especially on a hot day. I did treat myself to the chocolate pudding for desert and it was simple but delicious! I love how there is so much space and that you are not piled on top of one another! I will definitely be back! read more

I would have to recommend the Burgers or the Diner Breakfast. Both were delicious!! They are also open late which really helps in OTR - we needed somewhere that stays open when you need some food after the bars. You can get in & out with food + drink for about 20$, so it's good for about any occasion. read more

New York Lady Turned Cincinasty. Coming from Brooklyn and looking for a home in Cincy I already knew that OTR was the most logical transition. But happiness in OTR? That was asking a lot. I'm working like 70 hours a week, I'm new to a city, I'm tryin to figure out where to go when and for all I know, that's a futile search. Taco Bell got me late night out of necessity more than once. Then Chef Jeremy came along and created the Happier Meal and placed it a half a block from me. Life force saved. Just do it post 11:00 and you'll understand. Additionally, when a person is exhausted from a 70 hour work week, sometimes a person locks their keys in their apartment and it's after mid-night and said individual has already tapped out their AAA coverage. If you ever find yourself in this situation, Will Camholtz, Sacred Beast's schweeeet GM is the man to ask. Will dug his ladder out of a lil' tiny crawl space, entrapped another strapping young server, and they assisted me up my nearby fire-escape, and through my window to the safety of slumber! That's happiness. The Sacred Beast. A full-service restaurant. read more

This is a must try! We went for brunch and I can't wait to go back for dinner. The restaurant is gorgeous and very well done, the staff super friendly, service great and food outstanding! read more

Breakfast and brunch are my favorite restaurant meals, and I've eaten breakfast out in the Middle East, Europe East and West, the UK, and all the Americas for nearly 60 years now. Sacred Beast serves THE best plated breakfast and brunch I've ever eaten in a restaurant on any continent. (Restaurants in Istanbul's Moda neighorhood have the best Sunday brunch buffets, hands down.) Everything combines some element of classic with an original twist and a gourmet touch, from the deviled eggs and wedge salad through the diner breakfast and so much more. Today, I had one of their burgers for the first time, the Dirty French, without the cheese because I'm just not one of you Midwesterners who love, love, your cheese (ask for a pizza light on the cheese in this town and it still comes at you with at least a 1/4-inch layer of cheese) and I really wanted to savor the au poivre sauce. The burger had an extra somethin' somethin' from the grill that had us in shock at how good a burger could be, and the caramelized onions and sauce were epic. One of my friends had it with all the cheesy goodness and was also blown away. Since cancer and chemo, I mostly just eat half portions of things, but I wiped that plate clean. My other friend was hoping for more vegetarian options, but loved the diner breakfast without the pork belly. And since we were celebrating, we tried most of the cocktails, and each one was original and fantastic. My favorite is the Mexican Penicillin, with its citrus and chili and that essential basso profundo growl of mezcal -- fabulous. Our server, Alyson, was a wonderful adviser on cocktails and menu items, and Sacred Beast also ticks the box for happy staff. The manager was on the floor and keeping an eye on everything, but not in an unpleasant way. I just won't eat twice at places where the staff are stressed out by management, and you can always tell. Can't wait to come up with another occasion to celebrate and try more items on the menu! read more

Food is actually good, but not for the prices they're charging. $1.50 to add lettuce and tomatoes to a burger? We waited a half hour for our food and when we got it, it was cold. The red headed manager told us that he would remake, but we didn't want to wait another half hour and he actually actually argued with us that is was the time amount it was. The portions are tiny. The foie gras is on Texas toast, but it must be that everything is bigger in Texas except the toast because it was the smallest portion I've ever seen. The waitress was just wondering around not really waiting on anyone and it took a long while to get her attention and even order. The drinks took 20 minutes each time we ordered. There were fruit flies all over our table, and it's 20 degree out. Less than impressed. There are better burgers out there. Wouldn't waste my time here. read more

The food was ok . The portions were too small for the price. I got the fries and shrimp . There were I was a bit disappointed . We finished the entire plate in 5 minutes . Maybe the other dishes are worth trying . read more

I desperately want to like this place. The venue is so cool, the staff is lovely, and the music is banging. The menu reads like a lusty food novel with imaginative creations that just sound delicious. The problem is, the food isn't that good and often tastes bland. Because I really want to like this place, I've been a few times and eventually just decided to stop. First up, the burger. It looked amazing as the servers passed it by, and no question, it is filling. It's just that the meat didn't really have any flavor. And the patties weren't especially juicy or tender. Next up, the pan fried chicken with cucumber dish. The chef raved about this one, so I just knew I'd found "the one," but it, too, was bland - very little salt and not enough curry. Then I had the deviled eggs, which contain a whole bunch of things I love (pickled onion, cracklin, etc). The yolk mixture in the deviled egg was kind of runny and vinegary, once again, disappointing me. I've now given up for now. I'll probably give them another shot because I want to like them...but not for another year or when they change the menu. read more

Why 1 star?! As my wife and I, and our three college age children, waited for our drinks and appetizers, we were SUBJECTED to listening to Kanye West's song "No More Parties In L.A." When I asked if they could change the music because I found the song to be very offensive. I was told it was part of their play list and atmosphere. So, if you find an atmosphere with crude and degrading lyrics to be your dinning atmosphere music, go ahead and enjoy your evening. THE MANAGEMENT WAS NOT EMPATHIC, NOR SEEMED TO CARE, TO MY REQUEST TO CHANGE THE MUSIC BECAUSE I FOUND IT OFFENSIVE AND INAPPROPRIATE FOR DINING MUSIC. I paid for our drinks and left. We found a better atmosphere, and service, just down the block. Read some of the partial lyrics below, if interested: "No More Parties In LA" (feat. Kendrick Lamar) [Kendrick Lamar & Kanye West:] Liquor pouring and niggas swarming your section with erection Smoke in every direction, middle finger pedestrians R&B singers and lesbians, rappers and managers Music and iPhone cameras This shit unanimous for you, it's damaging for you, one thing That pussy should only be holding exclusive rights to me, I mean He flew you in this motherfucker on first class Even went out his way so you could check in an extra bag Now you wanna divide the yam like it equate the math?

I'd recommend you spend the money on a flight to Chicago to visit Au Cheval than waste your time eating at this cheap (ironic use since SB is so overpriced) imitation. Everything, from the reel to reel music player, the vintage-inspired plates, to the dijonaise on the burger that Au Cheval is known for has been pitifully mimicked by Sacred Beast. Their burger, their atmosphere, and their menu is a complete rip-off. Don't support the unoriginal, uncreative plagiarism. read more

If you haven't tried the food and drinks at Sacred Beast, you are missing out! The Shrimp Fries, Deviled Eggs and Salmon are outstanding. I am definitely going back to 'work my way down the menu'! Debby Alexandria, KY May 11, 2018 read more

Hands down the BEST cheeseburger I've ever had!!!! This is a must try if visiting Cinci or even if you live here. Very unique atmosphere, great music, fantastic service, and great drinks. Had almost everything on the menu and everything was fantastic. MUST try the diner breakfast, ricotta pancakes are to dieeee for. read more
