There was a weird smell at first but you should just ignore it. Otherwise, the place was chill and I liked the bartenders that came in. They didn't really offer any menus for drinks that were offered so I struggled to see the options along the wall with my bad eyesight.

Love this place! Great atmosphere and the bartenders were great! Definitely will be back.read more

While we waited for our order, we sat at a table and listened to the violin player play Christmas songs. The gentlemen is really talented. I got the 12 piece Lemon Pepper Wings and Fries. The wings are excellent! Large and fried crispy, but not tough or dry at all. The defies are also very good and seasoned well. I'd definitely come back!

My brother just recently bought a house on the westside, and just before his housewarming party we…read moredecided to stop in for a bloody at this little establishment. The space itself is rather large at the cheery bartender informed us this used to be two separate spaces. Now it's combined and has rolled up garage doors inside which are kinda neat. One side is the long bar and some TV's while the other is more relaxed with tables and games like keno and pool. Our bloody was great and even better when I saw the price tag. It was only $4! When I asked the bartender if she made a mistake she said, "Nope that's just what they always are." Dumbfounded (b/c I got a two shelf upgrade on the vodka I wanted for the bloody) my boyfriend and I ran out of there jumping for joy. How the heck we just got two cocktails for $8 I will never know, oh wait yes I do -- westside.

Wow. This place is a TOTAL surprise, in a good way!…read more Upon entering you'll notice it is super clean, spick and span, and even though I guess you would call it a dive or a saloon the owner is meticulous and really cares about his establishment. Mike (the owner himself) was our bartender for the night and he was incredibly sweet. He shared his story and it had SO much history behind it. Turns out Second Street Saloon gets it's name because it used to be located on second street downtown. After so many years his lease was up and he decided to make the Westside home - hence why this bar does not feel uniquely "west side." He moved every piece of memorabilia he had collected over the 25+ years of owning it into this new location. Now, I usually hate collages and junk on the wall but his are framed and look really nice. There are many framed photos of Cincinnati from the 1800's on. He also had the original door from Second St. framed and hung next to the bar - which by the way is an antique that he had picked out and appraised by the Wooden Nickel. They had more than enough craft beer and local beer available that you got a decent selection but didn't feel overwhelmed. It was also a pint night where you got to keep the glass. We played darts and really had a great time here. At the end of our bar crawl we all agreed that we could have spent the entire night here at Second Street. For what it is, this place gets 5 stars from me, and I can't wait to go back.

I love this little bar. Its a place where you can go in and relax, watch a game, and if you go a…read morecouple of times- they will remember your name.... OHH I rhymed that one! The bartenders are as friendly as they come and keep even the busiest crowds happy. WATCH OUT! If you don't like standing room only- Late Friday and Saturday nights aren't for you- but that's when the fun begins for me!! This isn't a pretentious bar like Bartini or Mynt Martini Club but it is a friendly clean and well priced neighborhood bar that you will find yourself coming back to on a regular basis!

In town for National Chili Day (4th Thursday of February) and Cincinnati Chili Week. I have been…read morehunting for places I haven't been to, this trip. Empress Chili is brought in here. Bartender said they bought Empress, but there must also be franchises, as there's one in Alexandria KY. Delicious recipe from 1922, - "the First Edition of a Cincinnati tradition." I went with the classic 3-way and it didn't disappoint. Brooke was very friendly. Definitely has a sports bar feel with 16 TV's. Rest of menu offers something for everyone. They offer a dimly lit surroundings with community/large group tables as well as both high tops and regular tables. Big L shaped bar too.

The appetizers came out quickly and are very nice portions for the price. The rest of our food came out as we finished the appetizers. Everything looked and tasted great. They have TVs all over so you can watch sports, but it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Looks like a bunch of outdoor seating, both in front and back. My only gripe is that the entrance isn't really marked. We walked in through the patio on the Bridgetown side, but it just looks like a glass side door. You can also walk in through the bowling alley or from the back deck apparently. Other than that everything was great.
