This is your neighborhood dive bar and this will definitely be our go to if we wanna just grab some drinks. Or watch a band! They have a full bar, with beers on tap or bottled. Great wine selection too! We were shocked with the bill at the end of the night because it was cheap! The inside is small but has so much to offer. Their outdoor patio is also relaxing and inviting. At the time they had an outdoor food truck. A fan and can't wait to go back!

After seeing a show at Riverbend, we stopped in here as it was a) open, and b) close to our hotel…read more We had to pay a $5 cover charge (each) because there was a country band playing in the back room. We found 2 seats at the bar, and a young lady wearing a bucket hat waited on us. I asked if the kitchen was still open (it was around 11 pm on Sat.) and she said yes. I ordered the fish & chips, with a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon Ale. Boyf ordered a pour of bourbon, and a burger. My entree look fine but was missing the cole slaw. I asked for it, and there was some confusion whether is came with or not. The other bartender may have been new, but bucket hat girl it did and I got a pretty large side of it. Everything tasted good, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back if in the area again.

Food is a 5 here for a bar! The blue cheese dressing should be called a smear it is so thick and…read moredelicious. 4 rating is for the service and atmosphere. The service could be better. There are a few gals who know how to serve, but not sure they all know to work together like a team. The manager is trying hard to fill in the gaps, and is so helpful. She got our drinks after about 10 min of us sitting at a table. The ambience is loud, crazy and overstimulating. The music alternated between a TV music video station, the jukebox and a live band with 2 of them competing at times. I liked the band and appreciated the music. I wish they would turn off the jukebox. There is A LOT going on with Keno, 10+ TVs that I could see, beer posters and ads everywhere. Tables low tops, high tops, bar chatter, cold breezes from the outside door with freezing temps, and just seems like a place that echos every sound. I can tune it all out, but some may not. Is it a sports bar, gambling bar, local watering hole, dive bar restaurant, outdoor lovely lounge with cool fire pit, or live music stop? Yup all of them!

I came out in December for their Miracle pop-up in 2025…read more As someone who has gone to a ton of holiday cocktail bars and pop-ups over the last 10 years, Overlook Lodge's is probably the best I've ever been to. Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)

We were here for a show upstairs on a Friday. I misread the information about will-call, so we…read moreshowed up around 5:30. The doors to the upstairs venue were to open at 7:00. We walked into the bar downstairs. Thankfully someone asked what we needed and then they were able to get our show wristbands. We were set and headed to dinner. When we returned after 7:00, there was someone right at the door handing out wristbands. We could have skipped the early drop in. Live and learn. I liked the small venue upstairs and the different chair options. We were early enough we had our choice of seats. I thought the sound was good, but we all had trouble understanding the singing. Of course I figured it was my ears, but after the show everyone admitted they had trouble as well. This seems like a possible limitation of the sound system. That said, the music itself sounded great. The Revival Room has its own bar and two bathrooms, one each outside the doors to the side of the stage. All of this is very convenient. We didn't eat or drink, so no comments on either. I checked the calendar and there's nothing coming up I'd like to see, but I wouldn't think twice about coming here for music.

Since we've moved, we are only 5 minutes from this hidden Gem. I love the outdoor patio and very laid back inside. Clientele is definitely chilled. This brewery is very unique and smart! You walk in, a hostess asked for a credit card to scan on file. They give us a card. And with this, you go to any station and pick your poison. Beer and wine. Whether you want a flight size glass, pint or snifter. You are in control of how much beer/wine you want. It also gives you a pricing on the how much an ounce. Not feeling beer? They have a bar that makes specialty cocktails. Hungry? You order that on a touch screen. From appetizers, salads, and pizzas. You get a buzzer. Once your meal is ready, you will pick it up at the window. Such an easy transaction! We ordered: Symphony Vienna lager Pay Joe Pilsner Woody's wheat Paddle Boat pale ale Spekulicious cookie ale Life's Too Schwarz schwarzbier Spicy Chocolate 7" caprese pizza 7" controversy pizza Everything was perfect! The beers were smooth, nice finish, and flavorful. The only one I wasn't impressed with was the spicy chocolate. Did not have a kick. The pizzas were the right size and was really good! The balsamic on the side paired well. They have live bands and offer happy hour. I love this place. I can see us being regulars here.

I settled on the Waves of Grain ale which I enjoyed. We ordered #1 pizza - toppings were very good but the crust was ordinary (did not eat the crusts, a sure sign of a lackluster dough). Service was friendly but spare (it's almost all self-serve, so not much of a role for staff except to direct confused patrons). The space was open with lots of seating. Ambiance is industrial/parking lot. It's located where the old (and kitschy) Rancho Rankin motel used to be, which old time Cincinnatians might remember.
