Somserset is hands down THE best cocktail bar in OTR and Cincinnati on the whole. Walking in is like immersing yourself into a tropical alternate universe. The interior was designed incredibly thoughtfully, down to the colorful wallpaper, boho decor, and myriad of plants, large and small. It feels like a classy jungle oasis. Not to mention, the drinks themselves are fantastic. The sangria and Freaky Tiki specifically are delicious. If you only have time to go to one bar in Cincy, Somerset is it! read more

Somerset Bar - Exterior - Beer Gardens Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Amazing venue and atmosphere. I've had several birthday parties here and met up with friends. great vibes and lots of interesting drinks to try. read more

Four stars for the scene. I love the decor and the music and will definitely return. Three stars for the drink. I ordered one of my fav cocktails; a Lychee Martini. The cocktail lacked lychee flavor. I asked the bartender if he could add more lychee flavor, and he informed me of the impossibility because they prepare their cocktails in batches for speed of service. This was disappointing because his energy gave "Sorry 'bout your luck", and he failed to offer an alternative. On my next visit, I will try a different cocktail and bartender. This place is way too cool for mediocre drinks. read more

Walking into Somerset bar in the Over the Rhine are of Cincinnati is like walking into a courtyard in Morocco or Tahiti. The city sidewalks and buildings fade away as you wind through the forest of bamboo and large tropical plants. The design allows for small intimate sitting areas to tables which accommodate larger parties. The cocktails are creative and well-crafted and the wine list extensive. The tables were occupied by a range of customers-ladies who lunch, couples, groups, and singles-everyone seemed to feel comfortable and fascinated by the exotic surroundings. I recommend it as you can get a wonderfully crafted cocktail and a "trip" to a romantic bamboo-forested hideaway and never leave Ohio . read more

BEAUTIFUL!!! What a beautiful vibe! The greenery was absolutely amazing. It was so chill and relaxing. I would definitely good about. The service was amazing!

This bar is so cool and the drinks are always delicious. The bartenders are great and very friendly!

Still absolutely love the vibes of this bar. The lights, the decor, and the PLANTS! Always appreciate a fancy cocktail. We've had mixed service and the prices are definitely high. Some servers are a bit cold and short, but recently we were served by a very friendly bartender who I bonded over about our cats, haha. While it's always busy, we have succeeded in finding a place to sit and hang at every visit! read more

This is probably one of the most beautiful bars i've been in! I wish I took more pics, but I was in awe of how pretty it was! There is greenery everywhere and loads of art pieces from around the world!! One of the walls is just pictures of people from around the world!! I got the IM-PEAR-MINT COLLINS as my drink and it was pretty good! The drink contains caramelized pear gin, spiced pear syrup, honey, white balsamic, mint, and soda. It mixes well for a refreshing drink while you can walk around and explore the beauty of this place! I deff recommend this being on your list next time you are in Cincinnati or live here and haven't gone yet! You feel like you travel to a different country!!! read more

My friends and I LOVE Somerset! You seriously cannot beat the ambience and vibe of this bar. The cocktail menu is always interesting, I've never tried something that I didn't love. I highly recommend checking this place out! You can go with your friends, parents, partner- everyone will enjoy it. read more

The decor alone is reason enough to visit. I want to go back during the day to see what it's like with sunlight streaming in.

Such a vibe. Great mocktails, too - which is important as a social girl who doesn't drink! Husband does drink and says their cocktails are amazing, too, of course. Always bring friends here when they're visiting and want a cool outdoor Cincinnati experience. read more

Such a beautiful spot! The plants and decor are a must see. Pictures alone don't do it justice. The patio is tranquil and great for space. The inside has a nice bar, and the drinks are top tier. It is the perfect chill vibe after a long day. read more

The decor is over-top-wonderful. We will return for food very very soon. Hopefully in the old gondola car or the cable car. The beverage prices were comparable to less than amazing places. Friendly fun bartenders!Creative cocktails. Stop in at least for a beverage and a self-guided tour! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would my cousins brought me here and it's impressive as all get out. The over all vibe is amazing; it's a library, jungle, greenhouse, Turkish lounge all in one. Just enjoy looking around. The bartenders are awesome, so friendly and adventurous with the cocktails if you want something off the menu. However explore the menu, it's awesome are full of delicious drinks. I had an amazing martini, that was dirty, yet savory? Also the olive garnish was so "cottage core" also tried the margarita and something called the stay cation that was fruity and floral. This place is popular so if you can snag a seat consider yourself lucky. We were and had a great couch to chill on. I can't wait to get back here because it looks like they have an outdoor space that looks like it's the perfect place when the weather is warm. Go here if you can, it's delightful read more

Absolutely loved this place. It is incredibly unique. My husband and I got here right after open on a Friday afternoon and it was a very laid back atmosphere. The decor is so gorgeous throughout the entire place, the decorations were accumulated by one of the owners during their world travels. The main bar area feels amazing with all the natural light and indoor plants, very rejuvenating. The garden area is lovely with all sorts of unique seating areas. Every detail even down to the restrooms transports you to another world. The service was speedy and the bartenders were incredibly friendly and attentive. The drinks were delicious!!! Such fun, high quality drinks. The Ube margarita was to die for. Great place for a first date, date night, girls night, or special occasion! (Or really anytime ;) ) read more

Archie was the best! Great bartender. This is a spot that will definitely be in my list of faves. They don't have many food options. There is one food truck with a few options, so I'd suggest eating before you go. The drinks are amazing! Absolutely no complaints there. The bathrooms were clean and the decor is very eclectic. I loved it. It's like a city escape in the middle of the city. Great vibes, music, interesting people. read more

This place is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The main bar looks like a greenhouse.

Unfortunately they do not offer food or else I'd go there more often. read more

Gorgeous ambiance and great drinks. It's seriously a beautiful space. I only wish the mocktails were a little cheaper lol.

What a unique place! Neighborhood is still evolving, but this place was so cool. The Ube Margarita was so awesome, and the other cocktails were so lovely. Plants everywhere with an international flair. We all had a nice time. read more

Can I just say I can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy this room! We had a bartender refer this place to us and glad she did. Love this feel and look. It's so open and full of plants. It's was busy and we made our way to the back room that is dark and more intimate. We found two comfy seats and just chilled. The hallway is also super cool and there's a chair shaped like a hand you can sit on. Very fun and also laid back at the same time. read more

Wow, hands-down, this is one of the most beautiful bars I've ever visited. I was with friends, so didn't take nearly as many pictures as I would've liked, but suffice to say, there's a beautiful blend of plants, Eastern inspired decor, a stunning wall of photographic slides that gleam like jeweled tiles and inviting, cozy furniture in the lounge we hung out in. The drinks are really good, too! My margarita was delicious and there was a decent selection of beers and wines available. The food truck offered a good range of snacks, including very decently sized pork sliders, Korean nachos, and chicken or tofu bites. Free street parking is a great bonus. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

Great cocktails and amazing aesthetic and ambiance, a must visit if you love curated cocktails and plants galore!

Vibes vibes vibes... love the chill vibes!! Met up with former coworkers for a bit of a kickback. Upon arriving, I turned to a friend and asked, "Why have I never been here?" Anyway, Somerset does not offer or sell food but they do allow you to brink your own food, get deliveries, etc. we did a kind of potluck type deal. There was a bar like space in one of the rooms that served as a nice serve yourself buffet space. There were about 15 people in our party and the space was accommodating for our group. The drinks!!! If you're looking for tasty, creative cocktails (or mocktails), I'd check out this spot. The first time I visited Somerset was during winter. I'm excited to visit during the summer when the outdoor area is open and the sun is shining through the gorgeous glass ceiling. The only thing I could think of to take Somerset from great to amazing is good service. Check it out!! read more

Somerset Bar - Beer Gardens Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Somerset has amazing drinks and a GREAT atmosphere. I have been here a few times and each time I have sampled different items from their cocktail list. The house infuse some of their alcohols so it's always fun to try their signature drinks! The space itself is also very interesting as there are multiple rooms/areas that you can hang out in with each of them having their own different vibe, music, and sound level. I prefer to start in the living room area that tends to be quieter and has its own private bar. After having a drink here, I like to move into the greenhouse where it is a little bit louder but still inside. Lastly, I always find myself outside and one of the cool seating areas - whether it be the old train car or under one of their wooden structures. In each room there are so many different decorations to take in you could spend all day looking in every corner for the next thing to admire Overall there's so much to see and different things to drink here - definitely will be back again! read more

Really cool bar! They had a nice drink menu, bartenders were nice, and it was gorgeous! Decor and outdoor area were stunning!

Such an awesome bar in OTR. I've been quite a few times and normally have a great experience! Drinks are really good and very unique. The atmosphere makes this place even better. Today wasn't the best. The place was absolutely packed on a Saturday afternoon and had very minimal bartenders working. Probably just a nice day in OTR. Understand the bar can get busy out of nowhere, but would expect much better customer service than what we received. Staff seemed extremely stressed and annoyed every time we ordered new drinks. For sure will be back for the atmosphere, but hopefully they fix the scheduling issues. read more

Pros: ambiance. Clean bathrooms, space, location, the DRANKS!! I suggest a El Camadre ( spell check me on that) cause it's a alcoholic version of a orange creamsicle. The viiiiibes. Every Tuesday is like either open mic or like spoken word or something like that. Cons: parking (it's downtown in the hood; think obviously gentrification) and the food truck could at least have three more options than the 4 things they have (kimchi nachos, chicken slider, and ummmm..) But then vibes HUN NAYYY.... every thing!! read more
