    Friends from Boise! Our first time here.
    Michael C.

    The place is very nice. Bartender is great. Made our friends feel at home (they are from Boise) Food is in the pizza place on the first floor. Food is delicious

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Martini
    Steve M.

    Here for B-Line passport. Love this pizza place! The slices are HUGE and tons of variety! Breadsticks as long as my arm! Upstairs is the bar: Definitely have to try the Peanut Butter Chocolate Martini!

    French 75

    Wiseguy's is our go-to place for old school / craft cocktails. I traditionally order a French 75, though they have a leather-bound menu with pages of suggestions. For bourbon lovers, they have plenty of options to choose from as well. The bartenders are fun and the music selection is always enjoyable. And it certainly doesn't hurt that you can pop downstairs for a slice of pizza the size of your face.

    I am familiar with the wiseguy in Indianapolis, so wanted to check out this Covington location. Their menu had great seasonal options as well as bartender recommendations, they were able to elevate their bourbon smash with honey, lemon, they offered blueberry as they were out of blackberry. It was a busy Saturday night great seating but a little more loud due to college football games, but overall still a relaxed vibe. Also highly recommend trying their limited peanut butter tequila! Very unique.

    It's a unique situation with an amazing pizza joint below and a bar on top. We met friends, got drinks and enjoyed a slice of pie. Drinks were ok. The pizza is probably some of the best in this area. We will definitely return for the pizza,

    I absolutely loved this upstairs lounge! While the space isn't very big there is a nice size bar that can seat about 8 and some surrounding leather couches and tables to hang out. The place has a lot of dark woods and earth tones making it warm and inviting. Our bartender, Dan, was absolutely FANTASTIC. Aside from making some kick butt drinks he was super friendly and knowledgeable. As the night progressed and it slowed down a bit he was able to spend some time chatting with us and entertain us. 100% the reason why I sit at the bar. Loved everything about this place. Down below is a Wiseguys Pizza so grab a slice and make your way upstairs for a few beverages.

    Had a magical late summer evening at Wiseguy Lounge with friends. Expert bartender Chris kept the amazing cocktails flowing and we enjoyed them on the cool and comfortable upstairs patio with a great pizza from Goodfellas. Love the mix of top notch drinks paired with always satisfying pizza.

    We stopped here to have a couple cocktails. We stopped because we absolutely love the Wiseguy Lounge in Indianapolis, we stop there often. So in comparing the two there is really no comparison. The bartender here had no charisma and also seemed like she didn't really care if we were there or not. One of the things we really enjoy about ordering cocktails in the Indy location is the flare the cocktails are served with and the extremely friendly outgoing bartenders there. I gave it two stars because the one cocktail we had each were ok. We will not be stopping here again as there are many other options in this neighborhood.

    Rebecca is the best!!! we spent three hours there due to the vibes and her. great cocktails, funny humor, and great personality.

    Loved it! They have a peanut butter tequila that's so delicious- iykyk!!- Chris C. was our bartender, and he was awesome! He created a drink on the menu called "Black Incantation" and it was so delicious. If you get the chance to try it before they change over to their summer menu, please do! But I'm sure whatever new creation he conjures for the summer menu will be just as good!

    Old fashioned and the broken hatchet
    Cindy W.

    A cool spot to stop by before "walking" over to Ohio. We tried three drinks here - the regular old-fashioned (slightly disappointed), dirty smashed (recommended, refreshing), and broken hatchet (my favorite). The vibe here was a mix of a cigar lounge (no smoking tho), an old library, and a speakeasy. If you are hungry, you can order pizza from the shop down below.

    Chris, the bartender

    Even on a busy night, the vibe here is cool and comfortable. The drinks here are beautiful in presentation and 10/10 flavor-wise! Tonight I asked for a drink that was "cute and tasty" and Chris did not disappoint!

    Great little hidde speakeasy with a fantastic bourbon selection at good prices. Love the interior seating area. Love the outdoor seating area even more during the COVID era. And you can't go wrong with a slice of pie from Goodfellas downstairs.

It was cold outside so it was the perfect time to visit, since they have multiple fireplaces and it's nice and cozy inside. It was early afternoon and not busy, so the only employee we saw was the bar, but she kept everyone's drinks full and was very friendly. She told us to have a seat wherever we wanted but to come to the bar to order our drinks. We both got cocktails, an Old Fashioned and a Kentucky Mule and both were quite good. They don't have much food, just some pre-packaged chips and such but some of the chips were from China with pretty odd flavors, so that was kind of fun to give a try. The photos I have seen online don't do this place justice. It's cute and comfy and super clean. Even the women's bathroom had cute decor! As we were leaving, a band was setting up to play later that evening. I was pleasantly surprised to see they often have live music and on Fridays and Saturdays, they have a band from 5-7 and another from 8-10.

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.

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.

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.)
