Small bar that's not great for big groups. This downtown bar has nice staff although they get busy easily with a few customers. The drinks were good and the location wasn't hard to get to. Overall not a bad bar, but I didn't enjoy how crowded it became with only a few groups of people.

I may be biased because I'm a chiefs fan but this place rocks. The owner is cool and friendly and are the regulars. I will be back to try the food and I really enjoyed the vibe!

My new favorite spot where I will be taking everyone. Stopped by with a group of friends after a late lunch near Findlay Market. Uncle Leos is a cozy spot that has all the character of a local dive bar, but makes the best dirty martinis I've ever had. They also offer a $3 "Moose" shot that changes daily. Bartenders are friendly, space is great, drinks are plentiful. Check it out when you have a chance !

Re-opened as Uncle Leo's and it's such a blast! Came for their opening last night and the place is so beautiful - warm pink light and vintage pieces covering the bar and walls. Beautiful bar with a limited selection for now but I'm sure it will grow. The bartenders currently offer 6 classic cocktails but can make anything you like. Think of it as an upscale dive bar. Extremely fun place to get a drink.

An incredibly dope bar owned by fabulous people. Whether it's a Saturday night getting after it with your pals or a chill Sunday with a friend, Uncle Leo's is the place to be. Wonderful staff, delicious drinks, awesome decor, great vibe and amazing owners. Surgeon General's Warning: The spiked cider is dangerously delicious

Could not have been happier with the service and the personality of the proprietor. We had the best bean and pork soup and a lot of cool well prepared drinks! Try his Bloody Mary with house made mix (the horseradish makes it!)

Since stopping in for the first time two weeks ago, I have been to Uncle Leo's 4 times What a cozy spot that is a perfect escape from the cold. Well balanced cocktails, delicious warm apple cider (can add bourbon or rum!), beer and topo chico seltzers, shots of the day. What more could you ask for? I feel like I'm either in a ski lodge or my hipster Uncle's basement bar, and I never want to leave!

Bartender complained about my group coming into the bar and then added an extra $20 tip to our friends tab because they did not tip enough.

Busy bar with exemplary service.

Chris has assembled the ultimate team. Pam's flavor combinations amaze, try the brand new 8/8/24…read moreSampler! Bam! Flavors so loud you need ear plugs. Then the tag team of service, care and love coming from the gorgeous Mara & Sarah Service Dynamic Duo! Mara & Sarah were so sharp hemophiliacs need to file a restraining order against them. We were blown away. Came here expecting to split and sandwich and beer and we well over $100 into food and drink because of their awesome suggestions. With teams like this restaurants don't just get good and profitable they become landmarks. Great d bless you guys. Oh and Pam, I won Best BBQ in Cincinnati 1992 and my cousin won Memphis in May, your sauces are sublime. They need more promotion and descriptions on the next iteration of the menu.

OMG!! The best brisket!! If you're in Cincinnati, you'll want to go the the Historic East End to…read moretry Home Court Tavern! It is still transitioning from Sinners and Saints (the OG name). The same owner and cook from the beginning a few years ago!! My wife and I love this place. We've been here a few times and has not disappointed us. This particular time we were craving brisket and it melted in our mouths. We shared the Full 1 lb brisket meal. Added Cole slaw, side salad and 1/2 skillet cornbread!! The establishment is an old house turned tavern. Nicely decorated and lots of TV to take care of the sports needs you have. You can also sit outside when it's nice out.

This unassuming spot holds an amazing sports bar inside! It was especially fun to watch a World Cup…read moregame inside. The vibe was amazing. Staff is great, drinks are cold, prices are good. A fun spot across from the soccer stadium that we'll be sure to visit again!

Visited The Pitch to catch up with old friends before heading back to Louisville. Located right…read moredown the street from Music Hall, street parking can be a challenge. Thankfully, it was a Sunday so I was able to grab a spot nearby. Being winter, I didn't linger outside but it looked like they have a fairly extensive outdoor area. Once inside, it has a large bar surrounded by huge tvs playing football (on this day). We sat at a tall table with barstools in the center of the room. Bar staff were very knowledgeable and very friendly. Since I was driving, I only wanted a half pint of beer which wasn't a problem. They do have bar snacks which my friends had before I arrived. They said it was pretty standard fried goodies. The Pitch is a sports lover's paradise. Loads of beer and liquor options and TVs aplenty. Given this, it's very loud with different stations playing and folks cheering/ yelling. Don't expect to have any conversation except during commercials. I didn't frequent sports bars, but everyone was friendly and having a good time which made it fun.
