Twenties - Amaretto sour - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Bigggggg fan of this bar that we stumbled into. Walking in, you see a bar with side tables off to the right. If you stop there, you would have no idea how big and cool the rest of the bar is. Keep walking past the bar and you'll see a private room with a pool table, fireplace, and chairs to host some type of smaller party. It could be a great place to host a birthday party with close friends! But wait! There's more! Keep on walking and find some stairs that lead into a basement. Down here we have sexy black sofas, tables, candles, and a stage! Apparently, this is where the creative get together and make sweet art. Great happy hour prices on cocktails and wonderful staff - we really like Jess who had a great personality and was very personable. I really want to come back to an underground show. read more

Omg! This place is EVERYTHING! Let's start with the music, on nights that they don't have a theme going, the music/playlists alone is worth a visit. Who curates this?! Epic jams, so chill, I never want to leave. Okay let's talk about the vibes...GORGEOUS bar. Very sexy and moody. Very clean. The basement is really cool. This is a place for adults. Twenties? Yes like grown ass, I make my own money, I pay my own bills, I mess with no boys, where the men at, twenties. And. I. Am. Here. For. It! Speaking of where the men at, they are staffing some fine and refined skilled bar tenders. The drinks are crushable! I had a couple of margs made by Kevin tonight and I have to say, it may be the best marg in the city. He made me a spicy margarita, as well. DELICIOUS! Yeah. This bar will be the place at which I return back to post-covid normalcy. Thank you, Twenties. read more

Twenties - Vibes for days... - A bartender is smiling behind a bar counter with liquor bottles and beer taps, in a dimly lit bar or restaurant. - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Awesome bar in East Walnut Hills. They've got really nice beers on tap and a cool speakeasy vibe in the basement.

EDIT: As shown in the reply below, the owner of this establishment has now accused a paying customer of lying about these comments when I posted this after reviewing my bank statement and becoming aware of a $110 charge and a $75 charge. I would recommend checking out Woodburn brewery across the street before stepping foot in this bar. I went here for the first time over the weekend. The bar was nice, but empty. I spent a good amount of money and left a 20% tip. When I checked my bank statement online the following Monday, there were two separate charges. One being $110 charge and a $75 charge which was unauthorized. If you come here make sure you pay in cash. Do not trust this bar. read more

Kinda bummed. I was first here when it was Myrtle's. I liked it much better then. I came in again expecting a twenties themed bar....maybe they mean 2020's and not 1920's because the music is all modern while the decor screams 1920's vibe. I dunno....I agree with a previous review in that this place is having an identity crisis. Pick an era and stick with it....had one drink and peaced out....if I wanted to go to a night club, I'd go to a night club. I was hoping for a more chill, laid back, jazzy vibe....this place isn't it.... Are you trying to be 2020 or 1920? Please just pick one and stick with it... read more

Twenties is an interesting spot with a bit of identity crisis as it gets off the ground. Admittedly it's hard to follow a Molly Wellmann bar (the location was previously Myrtle's). When Neons closed in OTR and Rosedale opened in its place, it felt as if all the magic touches that it made it special and awesome were gone and what was left was the shell of a big, really great space at a perfect location that now... still happens to have a bar. When I first heard about Twenties concept, I expected something akin to Century Bar in Dayton (https://www.yelp.com/biz/century-bar-dayton), which from the moment you walk in makes you feel like you have been transported to another decade in every way starting with the ambiance -- Twenties is not like that. To me it was really unclear what the focus of Twenties is intended to be. Here are some examples: - They are a 1920s bar, but the ambiance is full of modern aesthetic touches and the vibe inside is more like a classy neighborhood bar - Their music is semi loud modern hip hop -- I love hip hop, but it's not what comes to mind as the music for a '20s bar - It is semi dimly lit inside, but they have a massive TV right in the middle of the bar (why?) and it's pretty distracting [if you want a TV purely for background visuals, check out how the TVs are done small and subtly at Quan Hapa or Senate] - They are a "classic cocktail bar", but the cocktails are 1/4 of the drinks menu (3/4 is beer and wine) - The cocktails list is 5 classic cocktails (old fashioned, manhattan, mule, martini, daiquiri) plus 4 variations on an old fashioned with different liquors -- it would be nice to see some creative surprises or house cocktails - The liquor selection at the bar is pretty broad (more than just the basics), but again there doesn't seem to be a house cocktails list to take advantage of that We had a handful of classic cocktails - the (whiskey) old fashioned, mule, and daiquiri. The old fashioned was good, definitely above average. The mule was okay... it came in a Collins glass with a paper straw instead of the classic copper mug one thinks of when they order a mule at a nice cocktail bar. The details are important! The daiquiri was also above average. The bartenders take their time to make the drinks right, which I appreciate, and they certainly know what they're doing, so I hope to see the cocktail menu and the ambiance of Twenties come to reflect that so it can truly flourish. The service was fast and the people were very friendly. Prices were reasonable as well. I think with more focus it has potential to be a regular spot, but for now it's more of a drink or two kind of place. Night Drop is very close by and has a much stronger emphasis on being a great cocktail bar. I would visit Twenties more if they think through some of the conflicting details that give the impression it hasn't figured out what it wants to be yet. read more

Twenties - The cocktail menu - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Cute spot with a nice happy hour. The basement is really the best little cozy dark cave with a stage for music--that I can't wait to hear. Nothing about the vibe or decor felt inspired by the twenties so maybe that just refers to the 2 bills you'll spend on some nice cocktails over a few hours. I do wish there was food. read more

When we walked in tonight the two bartenders were really standoffish and didn't seem very eager to help us. They made us feel very uncomfortable. The music wasn't 20s themed (more r&b hip hop) and bar was completely empty on a Friday night. Was not a vibe!!! read more

This is a fantastic bar with wonderful bar staff. Came here for a happy hour and my first time in felt like I had been coming there forever. It's true to its name so if you're trying to get some fancy recent drink you're probably not going to find it. But their pours are great and wonderful to drink. read more

Awesome old-timey joint with friendly bartenders, good cocktails, and extremely well-done basement area

Not sure where to start. We called in advance to reserve a spot for my bfs boyfriend. Fitz the manager was super nice and accommodating. When we got there, there was a table with a cute reserved sign. The band sang my bf happy birthday and they treated us to a BOTTLE of champagne. We will be back! read more

Came here for a couple drinks with my girlfriend. We had Sam as our bartender and she made some great cocktails. She was super friendly and helped give us ideas of things to do while we were visiting Cincinnati. read more

Twenties replaced the spot where Myrtles used to be (RIP). Fortunately, it remains a great little joint to grab a great drink in a casual setting. I asked the bartender for a recommendation, and he was very helpful and conversational even on a busy Saturday night offering his pick. Twenties is a cocktail lounge that seems to focus on old fashioneds. I asked for the Mezcal Old Fashioned, and completely loved it. A friend of mine had an Irish Old Fashioned, which I believe came with Jameson. The interior has been updated a bit with some really ornate massive mirrors and artwork reminiscent of the 1920s with a modern twist. The basement hasn't changed much: still has those cosy booths, but has replaced the other tables in the center of the room with sprawling couches. Overall, a more intimate vibe than Myrtles had. Would return to try more delicious cocktails. read more

The decor throws me off when considering the twenties theme, but the drinks are delicious. The bartender was very helpful when making drinks. My friend wanted her old fashioned sweeter. I wanted mine how it comes. He was able to accommodate and was very friendly and sociable while making the two drinks. I would've liked to check out the basement, but it was closed for a private party. read more

Twenties is awesome. Sam the bartender is attentive to all customers, the music is great and the vibe and decor is wonderful

Sam and Christine are amazing bartenders i will continue to go to this bar because of them!

FANTASTIC!! Needed to find a last minute venue for a birthday party celebration. Twenties was beyond accommodating of our group of 25. They went above and beyond - exceptional service, great atmosphere, delicious cocktails! Highly recommend for just a night out or an event! read more

Really great place! Very casual vibe, and the bartender was great to talk to! Also very knowledgeable about drinks when we didn't know exactly what we wanted. read more

I do not understand this place at all. It's suppose to be a twenties inspired bar but other than the Charlie Chaplin movies on the tv and the old fashions.... it's just a bar. They played old 90s hip hop and rap music the whole time which ruined the atmosphere. We came to a twenties bar. Super confused. Didn't get to look at the downstairs because a private event took over the whole place. Which sucks because I heard it's a cool vibe down there. We had one drink and left. read more

Twenties is a great cozy bar. Perfect for an intimate meet up with a first date or friends. They have a room with a pool table and extra seating. Downstairs is a really awesome area with couches, booth seating, and a stage. I hesitate to say how great it is because I don't want people to make it crowded lol. The bartenders are very friendly and make delicious drinks. read more

Love the venue, and the drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are always nice and the overall atmosphere has great energy

I was definitely expecting a lot more when I heard a twenties themed bar was moving into the space that Myrtle's had occupied. I was under the impression I would walk into a cool, dark, cocktail bar that would remind us all of the jazz and alcohol-fueled era. What we got was a bright-lighted, unfortunately set up bar (I felt like you could not move around in the way that the chairs and tables were placed) that maybe had one or two "twenties" themed art pieces on the wall, but the rest of the decorations were more aptly placed in a modern bar. The music was actually that of the current era, so not in tune with what the theme was marketed to be. As far as the cocktails went, mine was supposed to be a mezcal margarita, but instead I got a mouthful of smoke with no acid cut in the form of limes. My mother-in-law and fiancee both ordered bourbon based drinks (a Manhattan and an old-fashioned) and it was definitely light on the bourbon and heavy on possibly club soda, which is not an ingredient in either drink. The bar is definitely having an identity crisis, so hopefully they step up their cocktail game and figure out what exactly the theme of the bar is supposed to be. If you are looking for something of this nature, just stick to Japp's. read more

Jar is the bomb Favorite place in the area. Great bar, great friends and great staff!
