Went on a Saturday night and yooooo what a bummer. The service was reallllllly bad. I felt bad for our server because there was a birthday party she was waiting on and they were being super mean to her. We did not order food. Just a round of drinks. They took a realllllly long time to get to our table. We sat outside on the rooftop. The drinks were fine, nothing crazy good. Did appreciate the ice water as it was warm outside. But apparently they ran out of glasses because some of our 4 top got water bottles. This mystery was not explained to me. Views are cool but don't go if you're in a hurry or want a quick drink. read more

Unlike other area rooftop bars, it has indoor options for seating so not limited by weather. Drinks are oh so good...I had one with a tropical flower in it. So very elegant. Outdoors they have comfortable seating and fireplaces for those cooler days. Service is always spot on. Prices are in keeping with an upscale place. One of my favorite spots to stop and watch the sun go down. It was especially prettying during the recent light festival. read more

Vista at Lytle Park - My fancy pants drink - Lounges Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Very fitting to find Vista inside of an Autograph Collection hotel. The ambiance is of modern, cool luxury -- it turned my "just because evening" into an experience. It is one of the warmest Winter rooftops I've experienced as there are heaters, fireplaces, and a few solid igloos available. Unfortunately the food was just ok. The mussels weren't fresh, and the broth was bland; however, the crostini was flavorful. The pizza and burger were ok. The cocktails and drink menu in general were great! Key takeaway - The Vista is a must experience before or after your meal. Definitely checkout the rooftop view of Cincinnati's skyline. read more

Who doesn't love a rooftop bar? The Vista at Lytle Park was great with an even better view. I had yet to go to a rooftop bar here in Cincy, and this one was so much fun! Upon walking into the hotel where it's located, you make an immediate right and take the elevator up. I'm glad my friend knew how to get there as I had never been here before, but the signs are pretty clear with directions as well. My friends and I all each ordered the Pineapple Express margarita to start, and that was super yummy. Food wise, we ordered the cheese curds, margherita pizza and lamb burger to split amongst ourselves. I really could not pick a favorite because they were all delicious, but the lamb burger was exceptional. I would definitely come back and get that one just for myself. In general, this is a really fun place to go since it is right downtown and has a great view of the city. We went right at sunset, so we were able to get some nice views and it was still warm outside, so it made for an overall fantastic experience. I think it would be even more fun to come when a Reds game is going on so you can see some of it from the rooftop. Vista was definitely a little bit on the pricier side for food and appetizers, but I would still recommend! read more

I was in Cincinnati visiting on business and wanted a place with a view of the city and a nice mocktail. Kachera gave me the most phenomenal service, great conversation and made the most delicious drink 5 star service and lovely view. read more

Heather was the best waitress we have ever had. She has spoiled us with great service. We will come here for every special event!

What a beautiful setting, up on the six floor, although it feels like you're a lot higher! I love the all glass room with a ceiling that opens to the sky. You feel like you're outside no matter what, but you could also be outside. It's got a beautiful fireplace outside. The views are incredible. Really enjoyed Vista at Lytal Park. read more

This was overall a nice experience. We started out downstairs as we waited for availability on the rooftop. Initially my Mabel's Manhattan was missing ingredients, as I had watched the same drink be prepared for the patron next to me. The bar tender didn't seem as relaxed with me as other guests. The issue was corrected. The drink was strong and delicious. When the rooftop was available, we had been told there would be no problem to head on up even though we had ordered food and drinks. But the bartender seemed to want us to wait for our food and carry it up...I didn't see this with anyone else. I was not...When we we arrived upstairs, they didn't seem ready for us. The food was pretty good. The cooked oysters were nice. The frito misto was really light but very bland and cold. My companion enjoyed to Caesar salad and the salmon dish. I think we both agreed, the real stars were the view and the donuts! They were covered in a thick powdered sugar and had a light crisp exterior, soft interior and a creamy stuffing, served nice and warm w/ a chocolate sauce for dipping. read more

The positive - the atmosphere is stunning, the drinks are good (but on the pricey side for Cincinnati) The negative- I've eaten here 3x. The food is really not good. High prices, small portions, and low quality. The service has been poor every time also (and I've experienced 3 different servers). Parking is tough- limited to street parking (a bit of a walk) or valet for $10. Come here for the drinks but eat elsewhere. read more

Vista bar. There are two roof top closed to each others and this one is on Gilbert House the 6th floor. Nice patio and great service. Their menu is small but enough for spending some times with friends or hanging out with couple drinks. read more

Yet another place that makes me wish that YELP gave the option of half stars. First off if I was reading this purely on the Ambience it would be a solid five. The rooftop is beautiful with ample space and offers different experiences depending on where you sit. It was much more crowded than I would've expected for a Monday evening so if social distancing is your thing definitely take that into consideration, but they did do a good job of spacing people out and servers all wore masks. Where it fell flat for me was the food. The drinks were good, with a lot of variety. I enjoyed the Lady Louise and 98 Degrees. They have a great wine list as well and it was nice to enjoy a glass by the fire later in the evening. However the overall food left a lot to be desired. First the menu is very limited more of tapas really. The naanchos are a cool twist on an old favorite, but were overcooked. The charcuterie board was heavy on the meat. I would definitely go back for drinks, but would likely wouldn't pair it with a meal. Also, if you're a baseball fan, an added bonus is the proximity to the stadium. You could hear and somewhat see the game being played. read more

We hosted 14 for a special birthday party there, in the rain, on Saturday night. Their team was outstanding, especially Tabitha! She was amazing, and attentive, taking care of all our quirky requests with a smile. We were hoping to be outside, but that was impossible due to weather. In spite of the move, the presentation was flawless. The food was wonderful, and Tabitha was able to seemingly anticipate what each guest would request in advance. She is a knowledgeable sommelier, friendly, and gracious, with a big personality. I could not have been more impressed with this venue, and Tabitha, which made for a great experience overall. Thank you, Vista at Lytle Park, for everything. Best. John read more

Didn't try the food but had a couple good drinks and the view is amazing. Pic of my wife with one of the cocktails on their menu. Bartender was helpful and friendly. read more

We had a great time at Vista tonight - what a hidden gem in Cincy! The rooftop is super nice with awesome views of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky as well as delicious cocktails. We had an amazing cocktail server, Abby, who was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I'm going to recommend Vista to all of my friends - we will be back. read more

It's been a minute since I've been here but was scrolling through my camera roll and found these photos. I'll agree with some when they say this is more of a place to get drinks than a place to eat. We ordered the Naanchos without chicken, Mediterranean Hummas, a flat bread, and Vista surprised us with beignets with chocolate dipping sauce for the birthday we were celebrating. All of the food was good but nothing special - with the exception of the beignets. Those were absolutely one of the best desserts I've ever eaten and I love everything that is forbidden with every trendy diet. The drinks are the stars here. I had the Lady Louise and not only was it so pretty, it tasted amazing too. I don't drink often and am kind of a light weight but I can tell you that this drink had a sufficient amount of alcohol in it. After that drink, I just ordered my usual go to. My friend ordered the Queen City Mojito. I tried it and it was very sweet. I liked it and it came with a flower garnish. The Dragon Mule was ordered and had literally the coolest color ever. I tried it and liked it too. All of the wait staff was very sweet and accommodating. I only had an issue with one hostess being a little rude but I think her annoyance was more to the man who sends people up via the elevator. The vibe here is definitely chill. This is not a place that has music blaring and a ton of 21 year olds. The few times I have been I've noticed the patrons are more on the mature side. I'm sure this also has to do with the prices - but I feel like you're paying for an experience here. Posh drinks, a gorgeous view of the city, and Instagram worthy photo opps. The interior of the hotel is gorgeous and detail oriented - even in the restrooms. There is $10 valet available or street parking. Some complained about the street parking but that doesn't bother me much. I've done both and have no complaints. I feel like Vista opened at weird time - right at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic. They are still working out the kinks and figuring out the best ways to accommodate guests while being compliant with social distancing standards. I think we owe Vista some sense of understanding and patience with the current situation. I recommend coming here for a great drink and a great view. read more

Lytle Park is stunning. Their decor is glamorous, the rooftop views are beautiful and overlooking the stadiums. They have a fantastic drink selection and the rooftop is covered for the most part so it can accommodate any sporadic Cincinnati Weather. Great choice for a night out. read more

Great ambience, nice open feel, high end ingredients and specialty cocktails. Drinks may seem pricey, but really the price point is in line with other big cities and cocktails of similar quality, so the prices are appropriate. Capacity is metered via the hotel lobby and on a Saturday evening around 6:30/7 we did have to wait a bit to go up. read more

Bartender made the BEST mojito I've ever had! Incredible refreshing and balanced! Great view, fireplaces add to the ambience

One of my favorite rooftops! I love that they have an inside part that can be utilized all year round. Not the best or greatest views in the city but it's beautiful at night. Service is always consistent and drinks are what you would expect. Check the website before you head there, they host private events regularly. read more

5/5. The hotel was absolutely exquisite. The decorated to the 9s. Took the elevator up to the vistas and was welcomed warmly by the bartenders. Went for the desserts .. beignets were mouth watering. Absolutely worth it. The warm beignet filled with a rich creme and the side chocolate dipping sauce was delightful. Tbh better than NOLA beignets. Will come back for sure. Sadly could not check out the rooftop part due to weather. read more

I wanted to celebrate my husbands birthday and decided to dine at Vista at Lytle Park. I reviewed the online menu which was fabulous. However, when we arrived, none of the options listed on the online menu were available, we were told that it was the fall 2022 menu. The options were very limited and the food quality did not compare to the online menu choices. If I'd known the options on the in house menu were the only choices, we would have not dined here . The Ambiance is absolutely beautiful. We had a lovely server named Rose, who was very kind and attentive. read more

Me and my girlfriend (both african-american) have been sitting at a table for an hour while waitress after waitress pass us without even asking us for water. While everyone else around us (caucasian) is having drink and drink brought out for them. It's insane. read more

Top notch wait staff, amazing views, incredible food, all in all a wonderful experience on the roof top.

It took just one visit for this rooftop to become my favorite spot in Cincy for a drink. The views are incredible, the music gives it a modern lounge feel, it's spacious, and the servers (specifically Steffanie and Logan) went above and beyond to take care of me and my friends. The cocktails are inventive and the food is pretty solid. They have space limitations due to COVID, but they have done their best to accommodate as many as possible, while keeping it safe. read more

My husband and I spent a wonderful evening sitting at the bar enjoying delicious appetizers, listening to music, and chatting with the bartender, Dana. The food and service was excellent. read more

Overall an ok experience, but not my favorite rooftop in the city. We put our names and a phone number down and never got a call/text for close to 2 hours. When we went back to check, they just told us to go on up. When we went up there were a lot of tables open so we were a little confused. The drinks and food are pretty good albeit a little overpriced but you are paying for the atmosphere too. The music was too loud for conversation in my opinion. I think I would rather have drinks at the bar downstairs before a meal at subito, but it's always nice to have another rooftop option! read more

I came here to celebrate my friend before her wedding! We had a reservation and were seated on the rooftop promptly. They had great customer service! They are still working out a few kinks but they just opened (and during a pandemic) so give them a little grace! We had a variety of wines and a few appetizers. My favorite were the hamburger sliders with fries. They were delicious. The rooftop has a wonderful secluded atmosphere. You're able to talk with friends and enjoy the night. It has a beautiful view of the city and the overall look is very modern and classy. I will definitely be back and have already told all of my friends to check it out. What a wonderful addition to downtown! read more

Great food! Ordered the oysters, ceaser salad, and salmon. Loved all of it! The view is nice as well. Recommend going during sunset

This was our first stay at the lytle and visit to Vista! We loved our drinks with the view of the beautiful city. Even in January we were totally comfortable with the temperature! The best part about our visit to Vista was our awesome bartender, Cody. He was attentive, fun, helpful and a joy to hang with for the evening! Thanks so much for making my birthday a blast!! We will be back! read more

One of my new favorite spots! We got to meet a handful of the staff(the manager, Bartender, bussers, and even the Chef!) Drinks were fast, food was delicious and on top of that Morgan W. was an excellent server! She was polite, funny, and engaged with all of her tables! Her personality makes the rooftop bar light up beyond the beautiful skyline. I will definitely go back and hope she is there to take care of us again! read more

5 stars for the view food and drinks are both good. Unfortunately the staff are horrid. The hostess changed her mind 3 times on whether we could take a table and eventually sat 4 people at an 8 top instead of our group of 8 that arrived much earlier. After being jerked around by the hostess the manager had the audacity to come out and tell us for groups like ours we must pay on one check. Bar staff on the other hand are great! read more

I was staying at a nearby hotel and the front desk staff suggested a brand new rooftop bar called Vista. I went and had a great time. Beautiful hotel and beautiful view. The best part about it was our cocktail server, Steff. She took great care of us and made us feel like home. Will definitely come every time I'm in town. read more

Very beautiful decor, too bad it won't be open long since we've been seated for 45 minutes and it took 20 minutes to find someone to take our order and still haven't received our cocktails after another 25. The only way this place will survive is if it gets put on bar rescue and John Tafert saves it. Do not come here. Which sucks because it's awesome and designed very well. read more

Well if you want crappy service and drinks but a great view the this is your place! My daughter's martini literally a layer of scum floating on the top. The waitress came over 2 times in over an hour. We were handed a bill that $250 and we had 3 drinks. Wrong tab. Took 15 minutes for us to get the corrected tab. Overpriced and crappy service. Not worth it. Would rather give my money to a local dive bar struggling than some overpriced view, crappy drinks and service. read more

Terrible hostess and seating situation. Were told a hour wait for a table and a hour and a half later and 20 people going up before us... we were told at least another hour because people came in and paid for "zones" that bumped us down the list. read more

The first time I went to Vista I was completely in awe of the entire place. The service was phenomenal as well as the drinks. The waitresses knew the menu very well and had great recommendations depending on what you wanted. The bartenders were all really cool. The view makes you feel as if you are in the heart of New York City. I definitely recommend getting one of the signature cocktails. I loved the Lady Louise, and the Queen City Mojito. Its really cool to go to with you significant other or a big group of friends. I will definitely be back. read more
