The Bloody kind of threw our bartenderess for a minute but she said Yeah I think I can make that. Obviously not a drink they make all the time. she sent the bar back and he found bloody Mary mix and then sent the bar back for bacon. He successfully came back with both and 20 minutes later. I had a Bloody Mary and it was great! We ordered Shrimp and Grits and shared it. It was also great. We liked the atmosphere and the back ground R&B music was perfect ambiance. Every one treated us wonderfully.

Came on a Thursday for $1 chicken wings and $4 lamb chops. You had to order at least 3 lamb chops…read moreand 5 chicken wings which isn't bad. If you reserved a spot for 5 or more people you received a free bottle of wine. I kept asking our waitress what the free bottle was and she kept saying she'll ask but never came back and told me the answer. After an hour we received our free bottle. My drink came out 30 mins before the rest of my group and then some of the food even made it out because others had their drinks. I ordered lamb chops and wings my lamb chops came out but my wings never did. I asked about them 5 times and finally they came out as my group was ready to leave (2 hours later). I told the waitress I didn't want them anymore and I was excited to try the apple bourbon sauce. They ended up coming out I told the waitress I didn't want them anymore because I've waited so long and she took them back and said "well you should have told me before I went back there to ask about them. I was waiting in the back for them and told them to make them fresh for you" and then she took the wings back and didn't offer any compensation. I then went to the bar and asked this sweet lady named Q for a manager a manager came out faster than I expected and handled the situation with grace. As far as my waitress goes I understand the frustration with kitchen being slow but please don't take it out on me. I'm very understanding. Also they no longer have hookah. My first experience here was definitely better than my 2nd experience and I'm not sure if there will be a 3rd.

The Harth Room in downtown Cincinnati is one of those rare places that feels special every single…read moretime. My fiancé and I go often and it has become one of our favorite places not just for a night out but for the kind of experience that makes you feel like you've stepped into a room that was made for good conversation, great music and beautifully crafted drinks. The staff is personable beyond words. You don't feel like a customer here... you feel like you're stopping in to visit friends. The live entertainment is always top notch, with incredible jazz musicians who make the whole space feel warm, intimate and alive. And the cocktails? Beautifully curated and consistently excellent. I've been going for years and have honestly never had a bad drink and I say that as a self-proclaimed cocktail and whiskey snob. If you love pre-Prohibition style cocktails, this is absolutely your place. It's also one of our favorite spots for an espresso or cappuccino. Not many places truly understand how an espresso should be served but Harth Room gets it right every time... delicately brewed, never bitter and served properly with a raw sugar cube and sparkling water on the side. They take their time and you can taste it. Great coffee is an art and they clearly know that. The wooden art, red lighting, live jazz and cozy atmosphere make the whole place feel like a little escape almost like a speakeasy that was never really a secret. Pop in, say hello then order a pisco sour. Thank me later!

The…read moreBourbon prices were insane, the organizers didn't announce when check in was, and apparently turning the loud music down so people could hear the person without the microphone making announcements was too difficult. Their response? Turn the music up louder. It was much better organized in 2024, I hope Wiseguys does better. People were leaving because it was too hot, too loud and too crowded. Oh yeah - the rancid beer that my friend was served was epic and apparently they (Wiseguys) were selling regular Blantons as "barrel picks" and upcharging them.

Metropole delivered a consistently refined experience during our stay at 21c Museum Hotel…read moreCincinnati, especially through their in-room dining. Ordering twice gave us the opportunity to explore several dishes, and the quality and presentation remained thoughtful each time. Service was prompt and seamless, allowing us to enjoy a restaurant-level meal in the comfort of our room without losing the sense of intention behind the food. We sampled the steak and eggs, omelette, pork hash, along with lattes and cappuccinos. The coffee program was excellent, balanced and well crafted, pairing beautifully with the savory dishes. The steak and eggs and omelette were satisfying and well executed, but the true standout was the pork hash. It was deeply flavorful, comforting yet elevated, with a richness that felt chef-driven rather than heavy. Every bite carried warmth and depth, making it the highlight of our stay. Metropole succeeds in creating a dining experience that feels both approachable and quietly sophisticated. Even through in-room dining, the kitchen's attention to detail shines through, making it a place we would gladly return to for another thoughtfully prepared meal.

I hadn't been to Righteous Room in probably years after it being a regular happy hour spot when I…read moreworked downtown. Now my BFF is working a block away, so we hit it up to start off my birthday weekend and I'm definitely going to have to make it a regular stop. Happy hour deals are the most clutch here. Half off all the drinks (or at least almost all - they say there are "rare" exceptions, but I haven't encountered any. Even the specialty cocktails were half off! AND it goes until 7pm. (If your happy hour ends before 6, it's not happy.) The main bar is moody and honestly makes it kind of feel like you're transported. I believe they open the front windows during nice weather but in the winter, you're snug and cozy and the hustle and bustle of Walnut St is miles away. There is counter seating and then the other side is a long line of a booth seat with bistro tables and extra stools. The courtyard in the back is its own vibe and another transport. You're outside! No, you're inside! Kind of like Arnold's patio. There's a bar back there too. No snacks here (all the bars should have some snacks, dammit!) but it's more of a stop on the way to the rest of your night. Check out Righteous Room - it's an institution to still be open after more than a decade.

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.

(Last visited 10/31/2021.) On our last day in Cincinnati we got invited to a brunch with some of…read morethe people we were hanging out with throughout the weekend and they were here! These are my kind of people! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: This place has a lovely, wide-open concept, is lively and pretty big to be honest. It looks like it could double as a nightclub/lounge during the evening and night hours. It's a downtown location so there is no private parking lot so good luck with finding street parking or parking across the street in a lot you need to pay for. The inside is nicely decorated and the music was PUMPING. It's certainly an energetic brunch. Once you come in you're greeted by several booths, but then you make a right and go up a half-flight of stairs to see the bar then the buffet area. Service: This is where they lost a star. Our servers were great, but they were either spread to thin and overworked or just forgetful. We were here for the bottomless mimosas, but many times our glasses were left empty and we had to flag someone down for refills. Other than that shortcoming, everything else was great. Food: As I just mentioned this place does serve bottomless mimosas with a buffet. The buffet has all of your traditional breakfast foods as well as things like shrimp & grits, macaroni & cheese, popovers and so much more. I was very impressed at the selection and the food was delicious. The mimosas weren't juicy at all and were firing on all cylinders. Value: I can't remember what it was for the bottomless brunch, but I feel like $45.00 rings a bell. I could be wrong, but don't be stupid and be prepared. Like, unlimited food AND unlimited drinks... be prepared to spend because it's absolutely worth it. In conclusion, if and when I'm in the area again, I WILL be making a return visit to Copa. I loved it here!
