    Big Easy Cheesy with chicken and onions
    Adam G.

    We stopped by Voodoo for lunch and a brew. The inside has some cool decor, with dark paint on the walls contrasted with bright artwork. The beer menu hangs large behind the bar, and categorized nicely by type of brew which makes it easy to find what you're looking for. The seating is a bit odd. There are three very large community style tables that run diagonal across the middle of the restaurant. However, we found it to be an awkwardly long distance across the table width wise so the three of us ended up sitting all on the same side, also because this side faced one of the few TV's. For food, we tried the 'Voodoo Nachos', 'Big Easy Cheesy' pizza with chicken and caramelized onions, and 'Lil Smashburgers'. The nachos were disappointing -- pretty bland and under garnished given the amount of chips. The pizza had a roasted garlic pesto sauce as the base, which we were looking forward to, however the garlic ended up being extremely overpowering and thus a major downside to the pizza. The smashburgers were the best item we tried, and also a steal at $7.99 from the kids menu. Overall, Voodoo missed the mark a bit for us this visit, but I'm guessing this might be a one-off based on the overwhelming amount of positive reviews.

    The beer was good, many choices of styles available. There is a food menu as well. The decor is fun; lots of string lights and skulls. I'd return. The staff were all laid back and friendly too. It was a good place to relax.

    My first time here and I love it. The place is decorated with lights and lots of walls painted with skulls. Lots of choices for beer and ciders. The blood orange radler so delicious. We ordered nachos with pulled pork. I am coming back to get the dill pickle pizza Service was great and quick

    If you're in Cincinnati and hunting for a post-workout feast (bulking season or not), Voodoo is the move. My son and I stumbled in looking for gains-friendly grub, and boy, did we hit the jackpot. We started with the Three Little Pigs pizza, featuring the spiciest, most flavorful sauce that had us both questioning if it was the secret to PRs. That pizza was so good, it deserved its own workout playlist. For the main course, my son demolished The Hangover in 7 bites flat--a record even for post-leg day. The smash burger paired with homemade chips? Chef's kiss. Meanwhile, I took on the patty melt, which was seasoned so perfectly it felt like a symphony was playing on my taste buds. Shoutout to the attentive staff who tried (valiantly) to lure me into trying their brews. I had to pass because it was only 1 PM, but their soda pop was refreshingly on point. Voodoo's a vibe--10/10, y'all. Let me know how the brews are!

    My Mr. mentioned coming here. Of course I can't turn down a good brew pub and grub. We dined in on a Friday night. They had so much going on. They had a live band playing. Seating is mostly mess hall style and a laid back crowd. Very open and spacious. Easy transaction, you seat yourself, either order at the bar or scan the code on the tables (someone will bring your food and beverages out to you). The menus are your basic pub food. From salads to appetizers, burgers, pizzas, and wings. They even have a kids menu. They offer their beers, other craft beers, wines and cocktails. They have so much of their signature and unique beers on the menu. I was impressed. We ordered: -Voo-Dill Pickle Pizza: House made garlic pesto, shredded mozzarella, thick cut pickles and voodoo's super top secret Voo-dill seasoning. -Big Easy Cheesy- House made marinara (or you can choose garlic pesto) topped with shredded mozzarella. -Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Chronic Cellars -Oh Mama golden American lager -Jabroni Express New England IPA Food came out in less than 15 minutes and they were pretty busy. I was very satisfied with our pizzas. Flat bread style. The pickle pizza was my favorite. My Mr enjoyed the beers that much and wanted to bring home a variety 12 pack. Pricing is reasonable, everyone is friendly and food is great. I'd have to say that it was a great experience for us. We are already talking about coming back.

    The service at the bar was great! We ended up giving the bartender a celsius because we were getting on a flight. The pretzel and beer cheese were fire. Everyone loved the fried pickles. My bf got the wings with the hottest sauce and he was hurting by the end but he said it was worth it. The chef had recommended the sauce personally which was awesome. The beer was great! Nice variety! I wasn't too crazy about the pizza and mac, so if I went back I might try something else. The place itself was clean and super cool. They have games and merch if that's your thing! Overall, would definitely recommend.

    A coworker and I stopped by on a rainy day for lunch. We were quite surprised with the selection of their food menu. Apps, salads, sandwiches,wraps, burgers, Cincy favorites-chili,wings & hot dogs. you order online and your food is brought to you minutes later everything was fresh and hot. I enjoyed the beer cheesesteak. It was a very generous sandwich, and my coworker enjoyed the turkey BTLA which also was plentiful plus the fries had great seasoning. The waiter came to check on us a few times making sure everything was okay. I'm looking forward to returning to try a beer and more of their food.

    Had a great experience and enjoyed the food and drink options as well as service we had.

    Stopped here before the Cincy FC game. It was cool to watch a fantasy football draft going on. Even with all the people, there was plenty of seating. Service was nice and attentive to the small things. I ordered a flight of IPAs and was in a happy mood on my way to the game. Don't remember the name of my sons burger, but he enjoyed it. I went with wings and devoured them. A good spot to visit before any game in the city!

    Bacon Bleu Burger with Cajun fries
    Alan G.

    I heard they just opened up recently. Went there while visiting my son. I had the oh Mama lager and it was good. I had the bacon bleu burger. It supposed to be a smash burger. It was okay. It was a size of a quarter pound from McDonald's and cooked just like it. The burger was dry. The fries were okay the spice was good. I would come back to try other things. It was a Friday night and they had a liver performer who was good.

    Bang bang shrimp
    Jon A.

    First we arrived shortly after opening. The young lady that was there was very nice and quick to respond. She even came to our table to get our food order. So many beer options and all were amazing. For food we ordered the black pepper mussels and bang bang shrimp. Both were very very good. The atmosphere is very relaxed not overly loud. Excellent stop in the middle of downtown Cincy. I would say if you're a brewery person then this is a must stop.

    Visited Voodoo during wing week. The wings were fine. The beer was fine. The service and atmosphere were pretty blah. You order through an app. It's all the fun of ordering door dash and you get to pay to park too! In a crowded space of beer and wings, I'd go here again if I were already standing in front of it, but I wouldn't go out of my way. I'd try it again in a bit and see if it gets better.

    Handies!

I don't love the cocktail bars with aloof service that seem to think ignoring you is excellent customer service. The happy hour slaps - the prices are actually really good and it goes until 7pm. My bestie is obsessed with their low price on La Marca. I have tried several of their daiquiris and cocktails and haven't found a loser yet. They don't have food but that just means they are pet-friendly. There is plenty of food in the area (for pete's sake, OTR Kroger is across the street). I wouldn't mind some snack availability but it's fine. I love the Key West/Hemingway-inspired decor. You'll be comfortable no matter how dressed up or dressed down you are. I love when the weather allows for the big windows to be open. The patio is great people watching. There is also several parking options nearby. The meters on Court St, a pay lot on the next block, or if you spend at least $15 at Kroger, you can get three hours of free parking. And that's the perfect amount to spend on snacks! Check out Pilar if you're looking for a laid-back vibe and decor but top-shelf service and cocktail options. Don't forget your dog!

Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)
