    THE Best. Chicken Caesar. In the world. (Partly devoured before taking photo.)
    Gloria Z.

    Say it with me: hidden gem. Yeah I know, that phrase is really overused but in this case, it fits. Like a glove. This is a total gem of a joint, and yes it is hidden off the heavily beaten path, and SO GLAD that we finally found it! I've been twice now and I'm confident in going all the way for my rating, because when it comes to BARS that serve FOOD in this area, it doesn't get any better. I enjoyed the best chicken Caesar salad I have ever had. From the creamy and tangy homemade dressing to the oh so fresh perfectly chopped romaine, to the delicious grilled, sliced, tender and juicy chicken. You know how when you "add chicken" to a salad at most bars it's in strips, a little overdone and kind of all around meh? Not so here. It's perfect, and I had it twice. My husband has also tried their Cobb salad as well as a rib dinner special, plus I went crazy on their soft pretzels (which are actually pretzels, not those log shaped things). Everything is delicious. There is a decent variety of dishes to choose from, even pasta. This is one of the friendliest bars I've been to in half a decade and it seems like one can become a regular pretty quick here. It's a true neighborhood watering hole, a great place to throw back a few generous drinks, shoot some pool, watch a game, play some Keno, and most of all just get in on some fun bar conversation. They've got a nice back deck, well covered with seating, ashtrays, AND a heater for those icy nights. On our second visit (even on the first) we were chatting with regulars and staff like we knew them forever. The owner Mike greeted us at the door like old friends, and came over to let us know they had NFL Sunday ticket and was there any particular game we wanted to see. Talk about welcoming! Assorted specials are posted for every night. Ladies night, Wednesday sounds pretty good. The karaoke night is Monday. Since karaoke is something you either love or loathe, I figured I'd let you know that. So if you're looking for a great friendly little bar where you'll feel right at home and also enjoy some tasty home cooking for cheap, come on by, you'll be glad you did. I'll see you there! (Except Monday.)

    Ever since Jungle Jim's built a second location in Eastgate, my desire to travel to Fairfield, Ohio has been minimal to none. No offense to Fairfield but driving down State Route 4 towards Hamilton is a pretty sad state of affairs (No offense to Hamilton but you suck). Fortunately, there is a diamond in the rough along the Hamilton Trail and it is Sneaky Pete's. Last year Sneaky Pete's was your typical hometown bar. It donned a full stocked bar, ample seating, and about a half dozen pool tables. Something happened recently though that everyone should know about and that is the addition of a new food menu. I'd heard the food here was exceptional but I had to travel here to experience it firsthand. The food here truly speaks for itself Grippos Burgers, Grippos Mac n Cheese, Cajun Pasta, Jamaican Wings, Fried Pickles, Fresh Cut Fries. The list goes on. This is without question the best bar food I've ever had anywhere. Don't let the exterior fool you, this looks like a hole-in-the-wall bar, but inside you'll find real chefs cooking real food. Real good food!

    Wings ( was supposed to have Cajun dry rub, cook did not honor that request, they did not offer to fix) Grippo BBQ sauce!

    Stopped in here after reading some good reviews for a bite and drink before our drive back to Louisville. Bar goers very welcoming and friendly! Bartender Danielle very knowledgeable and a wonderful person to have serving you! Prices seemed fair and reasonable for what you got. Disappointed in the food though. Boyfriend got the grippo burger which I was excited about. When I first tasted the the burger it stood out there was a taste of old grease like the grill had not been cleaned in a while. Wings were okay nothing to brag about.. House made chips great though! All around 3 stars from me. Pool tables, good bartender, decent food choices, hole in the wall spot. I think the burger had a lot of potential but was disappointed on the old grease taste from a lack of cleaning.

    Don't let looks deceive you this bar has amazing food and awesome bartenders! I make it a point to always be there on taco tuesdays!

    Do not be swayed by the surroundings. The food is really really good for bar food. I had a chicken sandwich and it was really moist and the bun was delicious. The chicken wings were a good size and the medium sauce had just the right heat. My husband is from upstate New York and is particular about chicken wings and he said they were good! Our friend had a hamburger and it was so big I was amazed he was able to eat it!! We also had chicken nachos and mozzarella sticks. Both were great. Staff was really friendly and they gave great service. When we left, the bartender waved and told us to be safe :) Nice locally owned establishment to eat, drink and play pool!

    Grippos Burger!

    Stopped in here for lunch today base solely on proximity and Yelp reviews. What an awesome pleasant surprise! The wait staff was great and attentive for sure, but the food was absolutely amazing! It's about a 45 minute ride from our home but we're here purchasing a new vehicle down the road and have to say we will stop back next time we're on this side of town! Maybe even make a special trip for it. We had fried mushrooms, some boneless wings, steak quesadilla, and the real magic..... The gripped burger! Juicy and delicious as was everything else. Kudos to the Chef here! And a super nice guy!

    Jen is bartender and extremely awesome. Need a beer she has you covered.

    Was looking for a new spot to check out with outdoor seating and decided to check out Swine City…read more Just north of Jungle Jim's, this spot has a huge outdoor space. The unique hot dogs were pretty solid, and I'd defintely get The Popper again. The staff were inviting, seemed like a slower night, and were happy to talk us through the wide range of beers they have on tap. Nice to find a brewery making more than just IPAs. Didn't end up grabbing a bottle but the Ranch Ale seems like a risk worth taking just to say we did

Great layout with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for hosting a wide variety of events (I'm personally excited for the local professional wrestling circuit to come back). The exterior is a simple picnic table style atmosphere, the inside is a bit more colorful and graffiti filled. The staff were fun, offered great advice, and were quick on the pour. They lean heavy on making sours and fruity IPAs, all of which I tried were pretty crisp and refreshing. The food menu was mostly cookout style sides and crazy types of loaded hotdogs, but it works for them! I tried the Underdog and a side of Queen City nachos, both of which were delicious and both of which my stomach screamed at me for later. All in all this is a brewery definitely worth the stop if you are in the area!

    I am not so happy with my experience today and I was definitely looking forward to coming here…read more I ordered 8 traditional wings, and 8 bonus with two different sauces. The first time the order came out the sauce for the boneless wings was on the traditional wings and vice versa. Then after 15-20 mins the order came out wrong again so I had to send my food back. There was no I'm sorry your order was made wrong/ keep these while we work on your order or compensation for the fact it took 2 times for my order to get sent back to come out correctly the 3rd time. Each time the bartender kept asking me (with an attitude) what was made verse what should have been made. I don't know anymore shoot all I'm trying to figure out is why I don't have 8 Caribbean jerk wings in my face right now. When I first ordered the food it was only 3 other people there with me so I'm not sure why the order kept being messed up and why it took so long to get the food. After the 2nd send back it was maybe a total of 10 people there and I seen a few people send food back to the kitchen. Unfortunately I think I will have to take another break from visiting this restaurant.

No one told it was closed . The bartend got Hella rube that I was there. Whe. I didn't know I should be there. Then tore into my as about how I should be that at 1:40 am after last call bar close at 1:10 (I'm pissed leaving the bar after peeing) I told the bartender or barkeep I'd like to finish my drink no-one told me it was time to leave. (https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-administrative-code/rule-4301:1-1-49) I gave a 6.00 tip for a drink she didn't know how properly make I'm very upset with the demeanor the bartender had with me after I expressed that I myself work in a kitchen an understand that there is money out. She was very rude when I was explain that I'd be leaving after I finished my drink. They close the bar way before they should an it's almost insulting that I didn't get notified that it'd be time to leave the bar soon. I'm a very understanding person, but the manner in which she spoke to me was very very disrespectful. They need to work on notifications to customer to last call. Just saying I work Hella hard I don't need no chick giving me shit when I wasn't properly notified. I'll go to cobble from now on. Apparently they close at 1? When was this? No one communicated with me while they couldve communicated!!!!! With me on this they didn't and was very rude and didn't say any greasing toward their uncalled for attitude

You can either walk through the gun center or enter at the rear / side of the building. Either way it is a bit of a walk so could be a concern for anyone with mobility issues. I was surprised that there were not any disabled parking spots close to the side entrance. It's a large lounge, upscale and beautifully decorated though does not have an intimate feel. Majority of seating is tables vs. bar. The cocktail menu is unique and fun, with the different drinks named after famous and infamous gunslingers. I had a Baby Face Nelson which was attractive and delicious. At first I though it was a little weak but towards the end it hit with a bang (see what I did there). I also took advantage of the ladies night menu and got a $5 cucumber mint G&T. The cocktail pricing is what you'd expect, ranging from $12 to $16. The wine list is not extensive and I would not describe this as a wine bar. But, I would come here seeking a fancy cocktail anyway. No food served, but door dash menus are available and there is also a limited menu for direct delivery from the Indian restaurant across the road. The outdoor patio looks nice. We were there on the earlier side, around 5 PM on a weekday. Service was pretty attentive with only one waitress handling the tables. I think if they found a way to serve some simple appetizers and put in a railing along the walkway from the parking lot to the door (thinking of my husband here) I'd give it five stars. They have a weird rule in that they insist on scanning your ID, regardless of age, up until 7 PM any day - this is so that no one who orders a drink can go next door and shoot (where they also scan IDs). The shooting range closes at 7 PM. So shoot first, drink later.
