This place is so lame. It is never lively or well attended. It's a dead zone. An afterthought…read more Nothing on draft, very few selections for beer and a very lame wine list. I was afraid to even order an appetizer because it looks like everything is in a deep freezer and who knows how long it's been sitting there. Bartenders don't seem to care. They don't engage conversation. They are clearly just there to make their hourly pay and then gobble up your tip as soon as you place it on the bar. Lady's night was a total joke. No specials, no advertisement. No presents on social media whatsoever. I think this place is a money laundering scheme or the owner. Or a tax write-off. Go down to Olde Town.

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.

Awesome dive bar. How do you not like a bar that gives you a tall boy cozy when you order a PBR…read moretall boy. I have only had the smoked wings, but they are legit. Last time I was there they would not serve them because they were an hour away from being perfect. I respect that.

The first time I had the honey bbq wings, the second time I had the bourbon pineapple wings. They're huge and very flavorful! They have waffle fries that are pretty tasty too! Knockbacks is a hole in the wall, bar seating and some tables along the wall. Fun local place to hang out at with good food and beer!

Help me welcome back El Jefe's Cubanos & More, now at The Well!! I started my birthday weekend…read morewith some amazing food, great music, chill vibes, and unexpectedly made some new friends too! Chefs El Jefe Colman & Timothy Gonzales have partnered up with The Well Owners, Will Hodges & Chase Daoud, in a collaboration that combines a taste of Cuba with that hometown Kentucky charm. I got the Beef & Potato Empanada, Sweet Plantains, Chef Tim's Signature Brisket Mac, Classic Cubano & Jefe's Seasoned Tots with J & J sauce. Every bite was loaded with the freshest ingredients packing a punch of authentic Cuban flavors! My favorites were the Classic Cubano, the Beef & Potato Empanada & of course that sauce!!

The Campfire was tequila, cinnamon and cranberry, so I was not expecting it's syrupy sweetness - assume the cinnamon was syrup and not just cinnamon. The Old Fashioned was strong.

They were doing some live trivia the night we were there, with lots of people enjoying the game. Easy ordering of delicious pizza from Dewey's next door, this spot in the heart of Covington is always a winner.

We stopped in here for lunch one afternoon. The bar was quiet and our waitress came over and gave…read moreus menus and asked if we had been in before and no this was our first time. She answered any questions we had and gave us some time to look over the menu. She came back and I ordered the Dubliner cocktail and my friend ordered a Jameson Irish Whiskey. My Dubliner was a strong one and may have been the wrong choice for me for lunch but I will know for the next time in. She took our food order and I ordered the Shaved Prime Rib sandwich and I was given a choice of Saratoga chips, mashed potatoes, house cut fries, sweet potato fries, tots, fried broccoli, peas, or a side salad. I chose the Saratoga chips, I love them! My friend ordered the Reuben and also the chips. My sandwich came with au jus on the side for dipping. My chips were as I would expect them to be, a little thick and crunchy! I was not a big fan of the ciabatta bread on my sandwich but overall it was good. It is an Irish pub and looked good inside with all the wood. I think we will likely stop in again at some point.

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.

Randomly stumbled into this place and honestly .. game changer. Vibe strikes the perfect balance…read morebetween fun and soul touching. From the outside, it might look like any other spot. But the second you walk in, something just clicks. It's easy -- like you've been here before in another life or like you've known this energy forever. The vibe is calm but magnetic. Not trying too hard, not putting on a show -- just honest, comfortable, and kind of intoxicating in the quietest way. You could stay for hours and still not want to leave, even after last call. That kind of place. There's a warmth that sneaks up on you -- the kind that makes you laugh more than you thought you would. Makes you say things you didn't plan to say. Makes you wonder how something so easy can also feel so rare. I don't know what kind of magic they've got going on here, but it's working. Trust me -- this place stays with you. Vinny is the best
