Sadly, these guys are about an hour and a half from our home, so we don't make it in regularly…read more They are located in a strip mall with very, very limited parking and it's a tight fit if you have a larger vehicle. But the store itself is spacious with good sized aisles and tall shelves. This is a great toy store! They have so many great items, ranging from Star Wars figures, Transformers, NECA, POP figures, G.I. Joe, wrestling figures, and then also high end stuff that you can usually only find online like Sideshow 12 inch figures, Vitruvian Hacks and even Haslab items. We never leave there emptyhanded. The staff are always helpful and friendly too. If they weren't so far away we would frequent them a few times a month!!

I bought a Joytoy warhammer 40k figure for $28, and I was able to sell it for $25. Me and my dad go there pretty often and always find something new to look at.

What a wonderful, well-stocked manga shop! Picked up 3 manga I've been wanting to check out. The…read moreshop was bright and clean, small but it didn't feel cluttered or limited in selection. I'm from out of state, so I can't make this my manga store, but anyone who likes manga and lives in the area should definitely check it out. Shop small and local!

So much manga they had to say it twice. Manga Manga has everything you need. This is the only…read moreexclusive manga store in Cincinnati and definitely worth a visit. Though small they utilize the space so well to have such a great selection. The owner is very responsive and friendly which only adds to the experience and always ensures a return visit from me and I guarantee you too. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Take your time. With such a wide selection packed into a small area you could easily miss things if you take a cursory look. So take your time and peruse the variety. 2) Try something new. We all have our old favorite mangas but this is the place to find and try something new. Take a suggestion from the blackboard or the owner. 3) Find an oldie but a goodie again. Want to find an old favorite or don't see the manga you want. They have the ability to search and find them, even ones that may be out of print. Where else can you get that kind of service? Check this place out for all your manga needs and wants!!

Finally! A zine store in the greater Cincinnati area! Located in Petri's floral shop in Bellevue,…read morethis shop has zines and alternative comics, along with self-published and small press books. I'll be honest, I wasn't the one looking for such a store - my daughter, an animator recently from Chicago, was looking for zines- found all sorts of comic stores but not zines. Until we found INK! Definitely recommend this shop to any who are seeking art comics. Owner is super helpful and they have a selection from local and beyond artists and writers. Also quarterly publications on indie publishing topics. Looks like they also sell zines on consignment, if that's your interest. Public parking nearby and other cute shops on this street in historic Bellevue.

They offered to give me a tour of the store and led me to what I was looking for and explained their selection. Everything was sold at a fair price and I was able to get exactly what I was looking for. We were also invited to their game nights at a local brewery. If you're looking for a store with happy people and a huge selection of awesome items, this is your place. I will definitely be back and recommend this store to all!

We heard this was a good place to check out Pokémon cards, and it did not disappoint. Our Pokémon…read morefans were delighted to peruse all of the options. Additionally, there are other card games, a selection of board games, comic books and graphic novels, crafty options like some neat flower kits, models, and more.

I am absolutely obsessed with this place! I was so impressed by how wonderful and unique everything…read moreis. First of all, the items they offer are incredible. They have so many crystals, tarot decks, witchy-style books, unique artwork, and all kinds of oddities like coyote claws and teeth. There is so much to look at and explore. I also loved the workers. Everyone was so nice and excited to be there, and they even dress in the theme of the store, a Victorian-style look. I was also extremely impressed with how everything I bought was packaged. Each crystal was labeled and everything was packaged individually. They even wrapped some items like a little gift with a wax seal. I could spend SO much time in here. If you love books, oddities, crystals, or anything witchy, you absolutely need to visit.

Just WOW. I'd put this in the top 5 shops I've ever been to in my life! Drive here, fly…read morehere--whatever you have to do; it's worth it. This beautifully and lovingly restored historic building draws the crowds, as it should. If someone was smart, they'd be opening up a witches brew cafe next door. I felt like every little detail was so thoughtfully executed, that other shop keepers could really learn from this place. Strap in, I have a lot to say! Everyone who has seen photos gets that it's a place with tarot cards, books, and things you find at the intersection of Goth, steam punk, Wicca, Occult, faeries, magic, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Medieval, and magic +++. But it is so much more. The space itself encompasses what they are selling: otherworldly magic. Transporting you to an alternate place and providing you with an all-encompassing, sensory experience. Staff is all dressed the part, and helpful, handing out little tags with talismans in exchange for your overburdened arms, as you have collected various bits of their merch. Trinkets and delights abound throughout, and their library of books is impressive. I mean into the nitty gritty of anything remotely related to the aforementioned above. Displays are engaging, and you find yourself constantly "oohing" and "ahhhhing" and beckoning companions to check out your latest discovery. Staff is so warm and welcoming, and happy to talk you through the merits of your choices. The rescued shelving, wood work, and architectural details of the place are jaw dropping. And at check out, each thing is lovingly wrapped, and packaged like they might have done in the most upscale shop in a cosmopolitan city in Victorian times. Honestly, I can't even capture how amazing the place was, but if you are anywhere near Cincy, do not miss rising this special shop. They put their hours for the week out on their website, so double check that before just zipping over on your broom, or other conveyance. Love, love, love!

His style screams New York mixologist, but his drinks land like a blockbuster hit. Then there's Jamie--running the show with the calm command of a five-star general who traded the battlefield for a barstool empire. Brian himself said it's a dream to work with her, and after seeing her in action, I get it. She crafted a martini that wasn't just good--it was "call your ex and brag" good. Hands down one of the best martinis of my life. Now let's talk Highball itself. Tucked into Over-the-Rhine, this place oozes cool. Brick walls older than your great-granddad, art that whispers instead of shouts, lights that make everyone look ten years younger, and music that makes you want to stay way too late. This isn't just a bar. It's an experience. Between Brian's movie-star vibe, Jamie's masterclass in leadership (and cocktails), and the sheer atmosphere of the place, Highball deserves all the stars Yelp will let me give. Pro tip: order whatever Jamie recommends. Trust me--you'll thank me when you finish that martini.
