    Goetta sandwich

    The place was almost deserted when I arrived around 6:00. Norma, thee bartender/server was welcoming and engaging. Visiting Cincinnati, I wanted goetta, which they had. I ordered a grilled goetta a d cheese with a side salad - housemade ranch ( more like black pepper cream, but delicious) as the only dressing choice. Ambiance is dark dive bar. Service is great- Norma is outstanding! Salad was fresh and crisp, could only have been improved with croutons The sandwich was perfectly toasted, the goetta was what it should be in all of its bland glory. Hot sauces on the table are appreciated.

    If you're looking for a place to unwind, have good food and fun, this place is for you. The name Green Lantern does not appear on the outside of the building, so if you're not from the neighborhood (like me) you might drive past it at first. I found this place on Yelp while searching for a place to eat after a soccer game. Based on the other reviews and a glimpse at the menu, my husband and I were sold. We started off with the Hanky Panky, which was the perfect size for two. I then had the Piggie on Pretzel sandwich with the homemade Saratoga chips -- both of which I highly recommend. My husband ordered a burger, which he loved, but he also ordered the battered fries, which neither of us liked. After stuffing our faces, we decided that we were in the mood for something sweet. We shared a piece of chocolate lava cake, which didn't stay on the plate for long. While we dined, we enjoyed some basketball on the TV before karaoke night began. What fun! And the folks who got up to sing were pretty good. I'd also like to give a shout out to the staff, who were really friendly. The Green Lantern gives you an at-home feeling, sort of like Cheers but not as fancy.

    App Sampler, only $12 and worth EVERY PENNY!!!

    Okay honestly this place is a GEM. Like. I've lived two blocks away for three years and never been here which is a tragedy.. the drinks are *relatively* limited as far as drafts, but it's totally made up for with the fact that wells are less than $4..... ALSO: the food here is amaaazing, we got a large app sampler and every single thing was crave-worthy. I honestly can't wait to make this place a staple in my weekly routine!!!

    pub chips are so good

    WOW! This place is so cool! I was in Covington for a wedding and the entire wedding party decided…read moreto stop by for a few drinks. Despite having such a large group, drinks were out fast and there was plenty of seating. 2 things stick out here: Decor and the Drinks. Both were impeccably done. The nature meets wood and brick aesthetic is so purposefully laid out and when the eye cruises across the landscape it's so satisfying!! We had a LOT of drinks, but the jade river, el toro rojo, and pacific muse were our favorites. The drinks are priced pretty well ($12-$14) and the service was very prompt, always cleaning up empty glasses and clearing space for more people to sit. I for SURE recommend this place as a spot to come and throw a couple rounds back. We stayed for hours and drank and talked our hearts out! Thank you for such a wonderful night. 5 stars.

    If you haven't been to Second Story, you NEED to check it out! This place has the best vibes!

They offer delicious seasonal drinks, and every drink & shot I've tried has been amazing! My absolute favorite thing I've had here (and one of the best drinks I've ever had period) is their S'mores Espresso Martini! It's literally perfection; aesthetically it's fun but still well composed as any espresso martini should be; it's has the right balance of sweet & coffee, & all of the flavors really make it taste like you're drinking an espresso flavored s'more! If you see this on the menu, it is a must try!

    I joined a group of high school classmates here a few weeks ago. We graduated together in 1971. We…read morewere gathered around a long table with guys moving freely around the table talking. This bar is a wide open space so the servers clearly get their steps in. Aside from our group they were having a pretty busy lunch crowd and the staff seemed to be keeping up with their work. Soon after my arrival our server, Sara S, began taking orders from those of us who had arrived later than the others and some orders had begun coming out. I ordered a deluxe cheeseburger with crispy fires and a bottle of Miller Lite. This was not the first time that this group had been here but as I had just recently come to find out about the gathering it was my first time with the group and the first time at Longnecks. Sara was soon delivering my beer and conversation continued around the table. Soon a group of orders arrived to the table with food runners helping Sara while she directed the meals to be delivered to the appropriate customers. When my food arrived it was fresh and hot, the fries were clearly crispy. My burger was cooked perfectly and delicious. I enjoyed my time here and the food was impressive. Sara's service was excellent on an individual basis but also her handling of this 22 top table was professional and well done. I hear that our group meets here every month and I look forward to my return next month. Kudos to Sara, the kitchen and all the staff!

    The food was decent for bar food. I was a bit surprised when the chips in fish and chips were…read moreactually chips. However, they were good so it was alright. The fish was cooked well and had a good crunch. It was lacking in the seasoning department, but nothing a little table salt and pepper couldn't doctor up a tad. The service was lacking quite a bit. We were pretty much ignored in terms of refills and check ins. The seating is really crammed with people in every nook and cranny. It is loud, but that's to be expected for a sports bar. I will say that after looking at all the mixed reviews, it was better than expected - not by much but better.
