    Seasonal (spicy) margarita and a Kona draft beer
    Kyle B.

    It was our first time back at the hannaford in a couple of months and what can I say, I just really love this bar. It's the perfect mix of divey and delicious cocktails. It's unpretentious but it's classy. It's clean and welcoming. The bartenders make delicious cocktails. The prices are reasonable. We loved the seasonal spicy Margarita. It's rare to find a spicy Margarita that is actually spicy.

    Small casual bar with stylish flair and impressive drinks! | Cost per Drink $10 | Rating 9/10 Pros: Any occasion, affordable, good cocktails. Cons: No activities, new bartenders don't make the drinks as well. Me and my group of 6 came to celebrate a friends birthday Friday at 11:30. We dressed up a little bit, the other patrons were casual but it all still fit the vibe. Interior is dim, intimate, and social. We took the lounge sofa and chairs for ourselves but other high tops and bar seating were available. Music was very good (hip hop, alt-rock) with Touchtunes should you want to change the mood. The drinks from the head bartender were 10/10! I ordered three as I was so impressed and they were all well balanced, mixed, and visually pleasing when served. Make sure you get the senior bartender as the junior needed to double check their mix and it was not well blended leading to a too sharp citrus taste that the senior avoided both times he made my drink. If you have a plan or even if you don't Hannaford is worthy of your evening.

    The Hannaford isn't just a bar, it's a community. With fantastic staff who remembers your drink or choice, a delicious seasonal menu, and cozy indoor and outdoor seating, it's become my go-to spot for celebrations or just a night out. The atmosphere is welcoming and every visit is an opportunity to make new friends. Cheers to the Hannaford for always making me feel right at home!

    Great vibe and custom drink options - everyone in our party thought their cocktail was good enough to make this a target stop next time we are in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky. Don't think OTR, the Banks or Mt Adams are the only places for a good night out - make the journey over to this area around Hannaford and enjoy some great options...with Hannaford as the star of the area

    Hidden gem in Covington on the corner of E Pike & Madison! I have only been here a handful of times, but need to come more often! They have a decent size cocktail list and PLENTY of Bourbon to choose from. Make sure and stop in during happy hour! They have one of the best happy hours this side of the river.

    Great bar to chill and relax to watch tv or just hang and talk. They have many speciality drinks and a gigantic beer list and always my favorite wine. There is no food here just a place to drink and enjoy each other

    The staff was wearing masks, and there was plenty of room for social distancing. The cocktails were so sophisticated and still tasty and fruity. I would return here just to try more items on the menu, so many to choose from!

    There is just something about this place that I really loved! It has a casual atmosphere and welcoming crowd. It was very busy but the bartender was awesome and waited on us very quickly! They have a nice selection of drinks and beers. There are plenty of seating options from bar, to couch to tables. There is even a small seating area outside, although I wouldnt call it a patio. TVs are scattered around to catch the sporting event of the day. I think this place suits any type of night whether you are out casually or looking for a drink after a dressy event. Great vibe!

    The Hannaford is a great bar. I felt the atmosphere was very cool and the place was well laid out. There was ample seating at the bar and the high top tables looked super inviting too. They seem to have some great specials throughout the week, we stopped in on a Tuesday and it was Koozie Tuesday! Buy a $5 koozie and you get $3 craft cans or domestic cans were maybe $1? Break even with two craft cans and it was a great time. Not crowded on a Tuesday but it didn't feel dead either. I'll definitely come back! ...especially now that I have that Tuesday koozie, great marketing guys ;)

    Traditional Woodford sour

    First off this space is STELLAR! Jeremy my bartender nailed it on my choice of beer when he recommended Brassknuckles Four String!! Later he wowed me with traditional bourbon sours, made with egg whites and black cherries! Great music playing 60s type. HAPPY HOUR 4-7pm. Wifi is free, just enter your email address and you can connect. I think that's kind of brilliant for marketing.

    Bourbon
    Slava A.

    I never been to Covington before and I'm from Los Angeles. I was just walking along the street and see this place with a nice ambiance from outside and when I walked in, I was stunned. It had this low light atmosphere, with the sports TV playing, different personalities of people, and a ton of selection of spirits, drinks, cocktails. Their sitting choice is cool because you can do a high top, tables, bar or even comfortable chairs and couches. It was spacious. The bartender was super friendly and provided us his recommendation of a bourbon for a nice price because their selection is quite big and my knowledge of bourbon is limited. I HIGHLY recommend to check it out and enjoy a conversation.

    Fantastic place to try new beer in cans and TONS on tap! We stopped in for a drink before the FCC…read moregame- it was busy and hopping with fans. Service was fast and the line went quick. We got a cozy nook to sit in and enjoy our beer. I had the Cuppa, which I should have started slower. It was like a fine dessert cocktail and winding down your night. The hard root beer in a can was the way to go, luckily my friend shared! Definitely plan on coming back to take my time and try more beers !

    We stopped into Standard Beer before dinner reservations at Fillo. Our reservations were for 4:30…read moreand we arrived at Standard Beer @ 3:45. I don't know that there's any way to know this, but they were closed to the public for a private party until 4:00. Not a big deal. We grabbed a tea around the corner and returned after the party ended. This place is great! What a fabulous selection of brews. Even more extraordinary was the massive selection of alcohol free beers. I've never seen anything like it. Though the partiers lingered a bit, we were able to snatch a comfy table for two by the window. It's the perfect spot for two. Unfortunately I don't recall what I ordered, though I'd remember it if I saw it. Mark had a AF beer and he really enjoyed it. I tasted it and it was delightfully unique. The selection of beer to purchase and take away was huge. I intended to return after dinner, but it was cold and I was too ready to go home. The gentleman running the place was super helpful even though he was managing the party and the remaining party guests as they cashed out with drinks to go. We will most definitely return!

    When I heard Halfcut first opened last month (April) I wanted to check it out when I got a chance…read more Located in Over the Rhine Downtown Cincy. I really liked the decor of the bar. What I did not like is the small space with not enough seating. I know that bars are supposed to be noisy, but for some reason when I left, my ears were ringing. There was not enough seating. They had board games but where are you supposed to sit? I LOVE the selection of beer. It was hard for us to chooose so my husband and I got a flight each (4 for $8.00) 1st Round: Hop odyssey (black IPA) Mamas little pils (Pilsner) Rubaues founders (fruit ale) Roebling porter (porter) 2nd Round: Paw paw (imperial wheat) White arjah (IPA) Xs old crustacean (barley wine) Did not like and my least favorite Out n'about (wheat) Love the quality craft beers that they had to offer. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Clean Restrooms. Street Parking. Reasonable pricing. I don't think I will be returning. Love the atmosphere, but do not like the tight space. Not enough room and WAY too noisy.

    Definitely sort by review date as the place seems to have changed significantly from prior reviews…read more My group stopped in pretty late (11pm) on a recent Fri nite in July, 2019. I had never been before and the Turtle (their specialty item) was amazing! It's a tortilla stuffed with burrito-type fillings (choose your meat, they also have tofu) then they encase it in a seared cheese tostada. I.can.not.recommend.this.enough! It is around $9 and pretty big so its a good idea to split one. The beer selection was pretty meh (definitely not a wall of taps). Ended up getting a cheap Hudy Delight for $2 I think. Seating is very limited but you can also order togo from the window. Service was very friendly as she walked us through the menu and made recommendations. Variety of fresh made hot sauces can be added (no charge). Good nightcap spot imho. Would go back. Minus one star for beer selection.

    Came here during restaurant week just to try the restaurant and can say I will be back!…read more I ordered the Ceaser salad with the short rib empanada and short rib gnocchi. The Ceaser salad was the best Ceaser salad I ever had! The short rib empanada and the gnocchi was good as well but the gnocchi was covered in scallions. That wasn't stated on the menu or by our server when I asked if onions were in the dish, so unfortunately I did have to send that back and have it remade then ate the rest once I got back home. I also tried the Black Angus NY and it melt in my mouth like butter. They were busy and it did take a while for the food to come out but the wait was worth it.

    Wow! What a way to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary! I loved this place…read more It has been a few months since eating here but I still find myself thinking about it. Our next trip to Cincinnati; It will be extremely difficult to stay away from here. We spent the day in Newport and around Cincinnati and wanted somewhere nice for the occasion. I was iffy on this place at first... you can throw a rock all over America and hit a place with 'Barrel' in the name these days. The Yelp reviews swing both ways here but I'm here to tell you my take... because it swings so far towards the 5 stars that it's very much a 6 or 7 star place(maybe more). We gauged our arrival time based on other activities that day. We wanted ample time at the nearby Lego exhibit so when we arrived there, we made a reservation for 4:30-5. Eating early and making our way back to Louisville was a great idea. The entire time we were there, no one else came in so we had the entire place to ourselves(It was a Friday). The atmosphere is homey but during busy times, I could see it being noisy. The booths could easily fit 6 people comfortably... probably 8 in some cases depending on how wide some of you are. Special Note: This place highlights The Parrillada Experience for Two on their menu and we wanted it! We didn't order it because at a price tag of 130-and pictures online, we didn't want it to be a failed outing. After our first trip, The Parrillada Exp will be on the agenda next time. It's a mixture of different steaks, sausages, shrimp, sides, and salads. Definitely worth the cost. On to the food: Sausage App - Argentine Chorizo. Farmhouse Sausage. Grilled Ciabatta. Hearts of Palm. Green/Red chimichurri. Pepper Relish. I don't like ordering this type of dish when I go places because you never know if it's going to be delicious or very bad. It ended up being super delicious. We couldn't make up our mind which sauce we liked the best and which meat we liked the best. App PERFECTION! Land and Sea - This is what my wife went with. Asada Skirt Steak. Jumbo Shrimp. Asparagus. Red chimichurri butter. I had bites of the shrimp and it was good. I had to save room for my dish. Wagyu Denver Cut - I went back and forth. Lobster ravioli being on the menu almost made my decision instant but I was going back and forth between ravioli, steak, and a few other things. I asked the server which he recommended of the 4 Chef's cuts. He recommended two... one of which was the Wagyu so I went with it. I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. He mentioned that the Wagyu Denver Cut was a new addition to the menu... I'm not sure but you could definitely tell it was cooked, arranged, and presented with care. I savored every angle of every bite. We also ordered a side of brussels because of course! Originally we were going to dessert somewhere else but went ahead and ordered the Hazelnut Vanilla Creme Brulee here. Perfect ending to the meal. This brulee was light and had the right amount of crunch. It was also larger than expected. We had no complaints with this place. Easily one of the better restaurants I've had in Cincinnati. If you're doubting visiting this place, take the dive! Other notes: They have beer and a small cocktail variety but they primarily seem focused on wine(plenty of options to choose from).
