The ten dollar cover charge is going to seem reasonable/too high depending on what time you get there and how many hours you're planning to stick around, I figure. I thought it was worth it for the chance to check it out and we were there maybe 90 minutes. The beer selection in the cooler was pretty good. There was a wide variety of games, and almost all of them worked which has not been my experience at similar venues in the past. The space was clean, the employees friendly and helpful. There was a variety of games too, which was nice -- pinball, classic arcade games, air hockey, and etc. I'd be happy to go back for an event or just for an evening out.

My brother just recently bought a house on the westside, and just before his housewarming party we…read moredecided to stop in for a bloody at this little establishment. The space itself is rather large at the cheery bartender informed us this used to be two separate spaces. Now it's combined and has rolled up garage doors inside which are kinda neat. One side is the long bar and some TV's while the other is more relaxed with tables and games like keno and pool. Our bloody was great and even better when I saw the price tag. It was only $4! When I asked the bartender if she made a mistake she said, "Nope that's just what they always are." Dumbfounded (b/c I got a two shelf upgrade on the vodka I wanted for the bloody) my boyfriend and I ran out of there jumping for joy. How the heck we just got two cocktails for $8 I will never know, oh wait yes I do -- westside.

Wow. This place is a TOTAL surprise, in a good way!…read more Upon entering you'll notice it is super clean, spick and span, and even though I guess you would call it a dive or a saloon the owner is meticulous and really cares about his establishment. Mike (the owner himself) was our bartender for the night and he was incredibly sweet. He shared his story and it had SO much history behind it. Turns out Second Street Saloon gets it's name because it used to be located on second street downtown. After so many years his lease was up and he decided to make the Westside home - hence why this bar does not feel uniquely "west side." He moved every piece of memorabilia he had collected over the 25+ years of owning it into this new location. Now, I usually hate collages and junk on the wall but his are framed and look really nice. There are many framed photos of Cincinnati from the 1800's on. He also had the original door from Second St. framed and hung next to the bar - which by the way is an antique that he had picked out and appraised by the Wooden Nickel. They had more than enough craft beer and local beer available that you got a decent selection but didn't feel overwhelmed. It was also a pint night where you got to keep the glass. We played darts and really had a great time here. At the end of our bar crawl we all agreed that we could have spent the entire night here at Second Street. For what it is, this place gets 5 stars from me, and I can't wait to go back.

We went there a lot because it's right down the street and we usually don't have any issues. Well last night one of my friends feel in the bar due to poor maintaining of the property and needed help to her car so I didn't hesitate to go help. She was out back on the patio so I grabbed her drink and started walking her to her car, then I was going to go back inside to take the drink in. Well before I could even get her to the car the drunk CUNT owner Kelly came out with her drink cussing and yelling at me for having a drink in the lot (and I know no drinks in the lot) but I tried to tell her what had happened and she just didn't want to listen or even care that this woman had fallen in her bar. If you want a good bar to go to this is not it go to poppys right down the street which has great bar tenders, and nicer people.

When I was there Jeopardy was on a few of the TV's which is actually a show I would watch. The people at the bar did look at us like we had 3 heads, but quickly warmed up to us and chatted about of all things, the first street used to demarcate Eastsiders and Westiders. (Main St, btw. 71 and other highways weren't always around) I had a Jack and diet and it was a strong pour. The price was nice as well. They have a Jag chiller for you crazy people that shoot that stuff. The bathroom was in fine shape. I recall seeing a dart board for people to play. I don't remember the cost. I think they have a popcorn machine, something I really love and can never eat enough. I could easily become a regular at a place like this, it's not too fancy and the people are down to earth and the bartender was friendly, but not fake friendly like a lot of bartenders.

Not as many Hazy IPA's as I would like but they had the Reingiist Truth which is real solid local beer that tastes even better on Tap. Wide variety of food options with leanings towards Greek food which I think I was told the two owners are Greek brothers. But they had all kinds of different option for lots of different pallets. At restaurants, I usually try to order one of their specialties. At J Taps, I ordered the Gyro and steak fries. It was probably the best Gyro I can remember having. The super sweet waitress was quick to bring out my order so it was hot a juicy. The gyro was generously sized and extremely tasty from the first to last bite. I almost couldn't finish it but it was so good. I have a rule not to eat until I'm stuffed, but it was so good, I broke my rule. The steak fries were hot and crispy and I received a generous proportion. My young waitress was very kind. My wife was out of town and not liking to cook for one, I was by myself. I spent 40 years traveling for business and have eaten out thousands of times by myself and I can't remember many wait staff going out of their way, even though they are busy, to talk to me more than to take the order. She went out of her way and even though I'm fine eating alone, it really was appreciated and reminded me that it's not what you say, it's how you make people feel that they remember. I will remember her out of the way kindness more than anything. There looked to be a lot of regular customers, mostly couples, who knew each other. It got pretty busy by the time I left at 6:25 or so. The facility was somewhat outdated and dark, but it worked. J-taps is worth a visit for lunch, dinner or a couple drinks.

My only gripe is that the entrance isn't really marked. We walked in through the patio on the Bridgetown side, but it just looks like a glass side door. You can also walk in through the bowling alley or from the back deck apparently. Other than that everything was great.
