First time visiting Arnold's and it was a 10/10 experience. The service was incredible. Super…read morefriendly staff and the vibes and overall aesthetic of the place were immaculate. Started with the meatballs which were SO tasty. There was A LOT of sauce on them but it came with bread for dipping which was great. Also got an order of crispy Brussel sprouts which were the best Brussel sprouts I've ever had. For my meal, I had the Figgy Smalls burger which has fig jam, goat cheese, bacon, balsamic, pickled pear, and arugula. One of the best burgers I've tasted as unique as it sounded. Will absolutely be going back here again and can't wait till I do!

I love my wings and I love bleu cheese dressing. I'm torn about Barleycorn's bleu cheese dressing…read more It's the diced onions and lack of celery seed. It tastes good but just unusual. Not used to crunching my dressing. The buttermilk and bleu cheese is there but the crunch? I've been going to Barleycorn's since the 70s when they were floating on the Ohio river. Always one of my favorites. But, the bleu cheese dressing, while good, is not pure. The bleu cheese dressing is meant to cool your tongue after the heat to the wing. As a purist, I like the onion in the dressing if it's on a salad but not with my wings. Final answer, swap the onion for celery seed like the lord meant it to be. Do that and we got another star

OK - so check out the tab. I was paying for my friend and myself. You will notice two tall Michelob…read moreUltras, two short Modelo Esp. I ordered myself a "shot of screwball". The server asked me for clarification and I said a "shot of Screwball". She said "OK" and off she went. She returned later with the shot of screwball and all is fine. Then I get my tab and notice this very weird "UP" entry for $2.25. I asked the server what the "UP" entry meant and she stammered through something about the shot and mixer.... I explained that I had a straight shot - no mixer and she asked if I wanted to speak to her manager. I said "Yes please". This guy walks over and i ask him to explain the UP charge. He says "well maybe you had one shot during happy hour and one later..." I respond, "No - I had one shot". HE says "Well what do you think a shot is?". I say, " An ounce and a half". He replies, "Well, we pour 2oz". I say, "I didn't order 2 ounces". He replies, "We always pour 2 ounces - we've been doing that for 48 years". I say, "Well, I haven't been coming in here for 48 years - I ordered a shot". Now, just do the math. Suppose what he claims is true - first off, why would you charge for a shot and then add an additional UP charge without someone specifically asking for an "over-pour" or a double or something? Also, if you are over-pouring by 1/2 ounce why would it be $2.25 for a $5.75 shot? i mean, you are over-pouring 1/3 of the original shot - right? $2.25 is NOT 1/3 of $5.75. Not by a long shot. Also, where do you get off over-pouring anyone without an explicit request? The fact that the server stumbled on an explanation and then the "manager" comes out with a very weak explanation leaves me doubting the entire thing. A couple of bucks is not a big deal but wtf? This is just not necessary. It makes little sense and only served to piss off a potential regular from returning. Just charge whatever the shot is supposed to cost and let people know that you supposedly "over-pour". Also, don't over-pour unless somebody specifically asks for it..... this isn't rocket-science.

The boneless wings were much better than traditional, and their hotter sauces had way more flavor than the original. As someone pretty indifferent about bleu cheese, I tried theirs because it was "life changing" and it was okay -- not too strong. Both the ranch & bleu cheese were extremely thicccccc.

Great story and can see why they are successful. Burger was full of flavor and filling!! Had the blue cheese burger was a great choice for me. The wings were great would have liked to been able to split up the order to try more flavors but maybe next time. The smoking prior to flash frying gives another layer of flavor and would be very complex with some of the flavor profiles of the sauces I'm sure. Great job Midway!! And you better not sleep on this place it serves great food but also has an amazing supply of bourbon and spirits for sell and drinking.

For what it is, this place gets 5 stars from me. Having visited 10-15 dives in this area Happy Days…read moretruly was the most happy! The vibe of this place reminds me of a simpler time. The jukebox plays Lynyrd Skynyrd, and basically the entire Forrest Gump soundtrack. And unlike most of the bars in this area this place is bright with a ton of natural light. They keep the doors open so the air runs through the place. It is a very historical bar covered in knick knacks which is kind of fun to look at. They have a pool table and darts. And here's the kicker - they have $4 CRAFT DRAFTS! Yes, local brews on tap for $4. That's cheaper than the breweries! Other brewski's will run ya around $2 bucks. Every time the bf came back from the bar he had a sneaky grin on his face and he would mouth the words to me "Six Dollars! Cindy, Six. Dollars." Those moments of him will be forever burned in my mind. It was almost like he was getting away with something when in reality this place really is that cheap, they are not making a mistake on your bill. Oh, and although we didn't participate - their shot wall has some pretty insane shots on it if that's your thing. This is a place I would bookmark for a sunny afternoon.

This here single serve pizza will grease your engine. That's not a knock (pun intended) but wow…read moreit's drippin. More cheese than needed. A long pull so be prepared with plenty of napkins. Tasty anyway and not too salty. The crust is good, maybe too much butter. Undercarriage is good with zero flop. That all said, it's a pretty good single serve bar pie that does the job. Cheap, quick and really good service and in nice sports bar environment. Worth the $10. Really, no complaints. Total score: 6.8 My Scoring System: * Always a large cheese pizza * Always made to order * Always eaten at the establishment * Always eaten while fresh and hot 9.0+ = Travel out of state or 4+ hours for the pizza. This is World-Class Pizza! 8.0+ = Travel 1 to 3 hours for the pizza. This is Local Legend Pizza 7.0+ = Local pizza that is a go-to. Very good pizza. 6.0+ = If you're already there then you go for it. It's not a bad pie but you're not going out of your way for it. 5.9 and under = Worsening levels of MEH. Gas station heat lamp to school lunch lady pizza. You'll feel the dead weight in you.

The man who I assume was the owner was very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. Also, he was smoking fresh meat out front which smelled great and tasted great (we had the brisket, pork and turkey). The food was great all the way around (also had the loaded nachos). Would definitely go back when in the area.

Wow. What a classic downtown sports bar literally across the freeway from Paycor Stadium…read more I picked this place as it was within walking distance from our hotel and just across the freeway from Paycor stadium. Smoking pulled pork and chicken wings outside the front entrance was a good sign. If you're looking for a real-deal sports bar in Cincinnati look no further. My wife and I ended up coming here on back-back days while coming to Cincinnati for a Bengals game. The servers and management couldn't have been more welcoming to us. The smoked chicken wings were among the best I've had. The fried mushrooms and pickle chips were also outstanding. I highly recommend this establishment if you're attending a game or event at Paycor stadium.
