The drinks and atmosphere are always nice. Fishbowls are also an interesting way to have your drinks. They come in a few sizes at decent prices. There's also plenty of flavor options. My only warning is the place can get pretty packed. It's not huge and can be claustrophobic. The music is also played loud and you can barely speak with staff. read more

What bar has no wine Very disappointed I have wanted to try this place forever So disappointed

Whenever friends come to town and ask for fun and unique bar recommendations I always tell them to visit Fishbowl! The tropical decorations in the bar along with the outdoor seating area provides the perfect environment to catch up with friends but just as easily turn into a late night party scene. When visiting, you must get one of their iconic fishbowls which are, as you can probably guess, served in fishbowls. Their larger fishbowls even come with Swedish fish and candy sharks that "swim" in your fishbowl. My personal favorite is either the Gulp of Mexico or Fish Tank depending on whether I'm feeling tequila or vodka. The service is pretty quick during the weekdays but on some weekends (especially after a reds game) can get a little slow which is to be expected. But there is typically live music on the weekends to keep you entertained. Currently their kitchen is closed for renovations so they are only serving chips and salsa but previously they had amazing Buffalo chicken quesadillas which will hopefully make the cut for the new menu. Fishbowl also offers Tispy Bingo on Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday where if you get the first bingo you get a gift card to Fishbowl and the second winner gets a shot! read more

I loved this place! I loved al their fun selections of fish bowls! I also love that their Jell-O shots come in syringes. It's so cool and makes taking the shot easier They also had good finger foods but run out quickly half the stuff we wanted was out. I also love the vibe of the place. I love the music and the cool lighting. I also really love that they have a tik tok! I definitely want to come back when it's warmer and sit outside! read more

Good drinks and more bang for your buck!! If that interest you then Fishbowl at The Banks is where you need to go. As you can see in the pictures these drinks are big and I can personally attest to them being tasty. This place recently expanded and it only served to improve an already dynamite experience. They now have plenty of bathrooms to accommodate and an expanded bar to serve more customers quicker. And their customer service is something to write home about in fact it's the reason I'm writing at all. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Immerse yourself in the experience. This is more than your typical drink locale at The Banks, this spot endeavors to give you a little bit of everything. The have great music playing that will definitely get you moving and even dancing. They also give the opportunity to sit outside and people watch if that's your thing. 2) Do the math on your ounces. At first glance it may seem that the prices are high, but if you do the math on the ounces, you'll quickly discern that you are getting more than your typical drink even in the small size. And you can even share the larger sizes to combine to drinks. At the Fishbowl at The Banks they provide everything but the fish to make your time there memorable. read more

Fun, tasty drinks with great music from a DJ! It is a small bar, but I love the concept of the drinks in the fishbowl, which I haven't really seen in a lot of places. Always love coming here when I'm in town! read more

SERVICE: Amber is as professional and as accommodating as it gets. Made my night! And she's so beautiful and humble :)

Yummy drinks! I liked how you can take the drinks outside and eat at the banks. Beautiful lights and fun atmosphere. In fact, I would advise you to drink outside as the inside can be a bit crowded and hectic. However, they sometimes give you the drink just... so randomly. So every time you order the same drink, it'll taste differently. This is definitely more of a party vibe for young 20s people. Not a chill and relaxed vibe. If you want to have a crazy night, go to the banks and get some fishbowl. read more

This place is so cute and fun for holidays/bar crawls!! We got the sunset and the shark bite in the first photo and they were both great. Usually crowded but the bartenders always move it quickly and obviously with the size of the drinks people are going back up not at all or only once so by the time you get your fishbowl you're set for the night or at least awhile! Always our favorite stop at the St Paddys or Halloween bar crawls, especially when they have the themed holiday cocktails like in the third photo read more

So happen to stumble in, it was pretty cool. The waitress was super helpful. I usually prefer dark skin liquor but for their fish bowls they don't actually do that. They have a myriad of different sizes you can tackle for the fishbowl and it's cool, they have jello shots if you're wanting that as well. They have a stage, a small stage where they have live performances. And have indoor and outdoor seating along the strip area. So it's good to stop into. The best thing about it was a service coming to waitress actually came and chopped it up, told us about all the specials they have and all the stuff that they have going on throughout the week, she was super nice and super helpful, wish I remembered her name, but she was awesome and they get up big perk because of the customer service. I did do a shot, green tea, it was okay. But the customer service and a human aspect really kind of sold it for me. read more

Absolutely great service at the bar and entrance, as the bouncer had to chase down my friend to get her ID because she was too excited to see our friends. Giant bowls of alcohol though, amazing. If you want to get blasted really easily with tasty drinks, definitely come here! read more

While out celebrating my friends new job we popped in for a drink at Fishbowl. I definitely love the concept, and any cocktail with floating gummies is fine by me! We paired off and opted to share a few different fish bowls. Granted we were there at peak bar hours on a Friday night, but ordering was a bit overwhelming. The place is not very large and the bar area was a bit chaotic with everyone shouting out their orders. With the place being packed, with limited see seating, it was a bit challenging to find a seat, but we ultimately did. The music was.... interesting. As a music lover, I have an appreciation for a wide variety of genres but some of the transitions and mixes were confusing to say the least lol. All in all, we had a good time. I read on their website food was coming soon as well, so I'd definitely come back and try out waffle tots with a cocktail read more

I wanted to stop by the fishbowl for drinks with my friends and was extremely impressed. The service was great and I got my drink as fast as I ordered. I recommend the mermaid water is was delicious, I tried some of my friends drinks and they were equally as good. If you're looking to have a good time with friends I definitely recommend the fishbowl. read more

Ok, so when your better half asked to go to the Fish bowl your first thought is what the? Then we arrive it is small with friendly staff with drinks served in fish bowls and they are drinks you like. SCORE!!! LOL! then the menu has Chicago beef sandwich this is double score. My drink of choice was the Fish tank Blue Raspberry!! Yes!! My date had the Fins up drink both wet very good. Now you know from above I had to order the Beef Sandwich with the Sixteen Bricks roll this is an above average sandwich for a place you would not expect that kind fabulous flavor and quality. So get in your boat and head to the Fish Bowl on the Banks for a drink and some food. We will return to try more of the drinks and to check our the menu. I mean more Sixteen Bricks bread for the Hot Ham and cheese, Pizza Roni with more SB bread. Yea I am a fan of Sixteen Bricks. read more

Really fun drinks! I usually split one of the big fishbowls with my friends and get some jell-o shot syringes. Some drinks are honestly so sweet that they make me feel sick after a sip but in general if you really look at what goes into the bowl you'll be fine. It's also in a great area so you can hop across the street to go dance at other bars. read more

Had a nice experience as a first time customer. We ordered drinks and pretzels/cheese and a quesadilla. It did take a little while for the food to arrive. We found out it was actually brought to us by an employee named Destiny (who was just there with friends and not even working at the time) because she noticed it was taking a while. When she brought it out, they had ordered two pretzels/cheese by mistake. Destiny was kind enough correct the order and place a new order for us with the kitchen and then also brought that out when it was ready! I hope the owners realize what a rock star she is! By the way, one of the best quesadillas we ever had. read more

I generally try to stay away from Sugary drinks, but the fishbowl I got was pretty good, I'd definitely get it again. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap expecting something pretty meh, since it comes off as a bar that primarily specializes in drinks, but it was honestly really good, totally caught me off guard. Pretty fun place to go with friends, and pretty much the only club like bar at the Banks, but it suffers from being too small. Always jam packed on the weekends. All in all, pretty decent place, would recommend. read more

A newer bar on the Banks, a street of entertainment next to GABP, we stopped in at Fishbowl for... what else? A fishbowl! We were early, and to be honest, the scene was dead, but the bar had fun live music, a patio on the street to people watch, and great drinks and prices. Such a fun little Tiki bar in the middle of downtown Cincy! Would love to stop back soon! read more

I send 5 stars all the time but last night I didn't have the experience I was expecting from their social media posts. This place always looks so fun and last night was my first night out in awhile. I've been wanting to check this place out since the day they opened but it was the opposite of what I thought. My drink was decent but the bartender guy was not. I walked specifically here after dinner at yard house with my bf but with the attitude we received at the bar I won't go back. I love trying new places but I should have gone to another bar at the banks. Very deceiving establishment unfortunately read more

Fishbowl at The Banks - Tasty but not worth $30 (with tip) - Tiki Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I came here with my 2 other friends and we went up to the bar to order a fishbowl to share. We looked at the menu and saw there were two sizes, a small for $13 or a regular for $21. With every flavor the two prices were the same. We told the bartender we wanted a normal size to share. He said the normal size. There was some confusion between us and him and we ended up getting charged $65 for a regular sized fishbowl. NOWHERE on the menu in front of us was there any thing over $21 so I'm utterly confused at how he came up with $65 and charged us for it. Very upset with this expensive misunderstanding and will not return to fishbowl. read more

Visited this bar for the first time with my friends for a bite to eat and some cute drinks. I had the sunset and the fish tank as well. Both were amazing, not too weak not too strong!

I came here with my aunt and my cousin from out of town, we had such a great time! The atmosphere was very fun and inviting, the people working were very professional and one man working stuck out and he was going above and beyond to make sure things were running smoothly and we felt safe. The music was great too! I recommend the fishbowl if your looking to go somewhere fun with the option of dancing or just chilling out, I wasn't even drinking and had a blast! (P.s. the water was great too) read more

I am giving this place a 1 star Rating. Solely based on the actual space was pretty colorful, and walkable. The bartender was confused as can be & miss-quoted the prices. Which is actually An illegal practice in the state of Ohio (look it up) Once she begin to pour my drink. She said that this was the only drink that cost more than the others I asked her why hadn't she mentioned that before she began to pour? with the most confusing look in the world on her face she said she can leave the Red Bull out of the drink but in all actuality she left the liquor out of the drink. And so for $25 I drink blue Kool-Aid out of a Fishbowl. THANXX ALOT! I have 50,000 followers on social media and I will be sure to tell all of my critic friends! read more

Placed an order with the bar and we're waiting on our food to come out. At first they brought out the wrong dish and stated that the bar gave out multiple of the same number. After another 30 minutes of no food we asked and were told our order was lost. Absolutely ridiculous and the service is horrible. Do not recommend coming here ever. Would give 0 stars if I could. read more

Phil literally told me to "go fuck myself" and to get out. This transpired because he wouldn't let my partner & party that was in line behind me inside. Phil started to check other peoples ID's and when I asked him why he wouldn't let my party in he ignored me. I got closer to Phil so he could hear me because of the loud environment & he pushed me (assault) and stood up and got in my face and said "do you have a problem." I was just simply trying to ask why he wouldn't let my party in that was behind me in line because I didn't want to get separated from them. He was nothing but disrespectful & I feel violated. It's very unfortunate because I have been here numerous times, but I will never go back here due to the incidents that transpired & solely because of Phil. read more
