The greens, yams and Mac are really good sides. The Mac tastes like it had hints of the yam juices in it. Also on your birthday you can go get a free fish or chicken meal that comes with 2 sides. You have to actually go in your birthday and show your id. The service is good but it take a while to get your food, but once you do everything is all nice and hot.

Visited the Listing Loon as a music venue first and bar second. This was my first stop during the…read moreinaugural North by Northside music festival. Walking into the bar and the band was already rockin'. The odd thing though is that the stage is setup just inches from the front door and most of the seating was taken. Let me set your expectation that if it's hot outside; it's going to be hot inside. Business ploy to get you to by more drink, IDK? A mix variety of high tables along the wall, bar top and standing room. A good variety of beers. Expect craft beer but not all of your typical selections found on draft. Lots of canned beers. Your best bet; be inside before the scheduled musician starts.

Even the less booze-forward drinks were sippers -you didn't want to miss any flavors! Terrific place!

The short rib with mashed potatoes was absolutely wonderful, and of course I had to add fries just for fun. My waiter was fabulous, attentive, and very informative about the menu. He made the experience even better and was happy to answer all of my questions. One of my favorite touches was the little sweet treat they bring at the end of the meal. That day, it was limoncello cotton candy, and I loved it! Metropole is a great spot whether you're staying at the 21c Museum Hotel or simply in the area and looking for a memorable meal. Definitely worth checking out!

We had reservations at 6:15 on a Saturday night. We were seated right away and our server Sean (sp)…read morewas lovely and very attentive. The space is open but cozy at the same time. We started with two glasses of the French rose- a well balanced wine that went with the dishes we ordered. We were torn between the focaccia with butter and oil, or the fancy focaccia. Sean suggested the fancy one. The focaccia was excellent, but it was covered with so much cheese (not stated in the description), that we could hardly taste the prosciutto jam. We would have much preferred to taste the fluffy bread with a good olive oil or butter and keep it pure. Our second starter was the spicy Ahi tuna toast. It arrived with a very unappetizing looking mixture of a tuna and black garlic mixture that did not look at all like we expected. And the pieces of brioche on which it was served was too thick. The taste was fantastic though. If this dish were tweaked to look better, we would order it again. For our mains we had the Wagyu ravioli, and the Salmon Au Poivre. Upon arrival at the table, the ravioli looked like it had too much sauce, but the sauce was so well-balanced and lighter than it appeared. It was SO delicious. The beef inside was tender and had great beefy flavor. You would think a pepper sauce with 5 kinds of pepper (Sean told us this) would be too strong for salmon, but oh no it was not! The salmon was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had crispy skin. Highly recommend. The bean puree underneath was tasty, but there was no discernable grilled artichoke in the frisee salad. There were two tiny piece of what tasted like canned artichokes. We have eaten at Metropole over the years with a few different chefs at the helm. Chef Cova is making a strong first impression with us. We will joyfully return to try more of his menu.

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.

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!

Yeah, this is a fun little stop…read more I just happened to be shopping in Northside and wanted to grab a quick drink in this horrendous heat. I popped in to sit at the bar, and the bartender, RB, was happy to answer questions about booze on tap and in the cooler. I'm a big fan of stouts, so I had an Irish stout so tasty I had to take a second home. RB taught me a really cool fact, too: if you buy the booze to go it's almost half the cost! This place has a great vibe, kind regulars at the bar who are happy to strike up a conversation, AND RB has recently invented a new shot that is a real panty-dropper, the "Muscle Mommy." You can only get it when she's there, and it might make you start liking women, but that's okay...it's Northside. ‍

Karaoke Fantastic delivers just that. Sean Hafer, the DJ, can be found spinning songs every Thursday at Northside Tavern and Sundays at Mainstay. With a collection of over 12,000 songs, its definitely the best karaoke Cincinnati has to offer. I am in awe of the selection of showtunes, including the ENTIRE soundtrack from RENT, not just "Seasons of Love" as one typically finds. Sean makes it possible for me to serenade bar patrons with such numbers as "Take Me or Leave Me," "Out Tonight," or "Another Day." Don't worry, once I finish with RENT, there are songs from pretty much every Broadway musical ever made. And lots of Weird Al Yankovic. All of Sean's songs come neatly arranged in binders. He has plenty to go around, both with listings by song title or by artist. He also has multiple wireless microphones which are great for group numbers, or in my case, songs that encourage me to dance off-stage while crooning. A fun, personable DJ, Sean is always up for singing duets and occasionally buys drinks for his regular singers. Karaoke has always been a blast, but Karaoke Fantastic elevates it to a higher level. Yearning to belt out some notes? This is the place to do it.
