    This is beautiful bar that has lots of different drink options and also has a minimum menu that is great for late night snacks Very sweet bartenders who are always asking if you need anything

    The outdoor seating and booths inside offer plenty of space to sit with friends. We love the drinks here and the atmosphere. There are always plenty of bartenders to help you. The best time to stop by is later in the evening but it's also fine stopping during the day before a game at the stadium.

    Absolutely loved this bar! Awesome vibe, drinks were great, they had food but we didn't order any. Service was very quick, they also had a dj which was great!

    Went yesterday a couple hours before the reds game. It wasn't busy, the bartender looked like he was miserable but the drinks were great! Love the atmosphere and I had only been here one other time when it was super crowded.

    Fun place to stop before (after) a game. Happen to catch happy hour before a Reds game and the prices on their happy hour specials were very good. Staff was friendly. The vibe is '80's bar/club.

    Popped in here for a beer. Great selection overall. Very clean. Would love to come back.

    So...went here on Sunday afternoon around 3. Pretty slow and bartenders spoke right away and were very attentive, super plus. Our bartender's name was Allison and she crafted our cocktails perfectly. I had the Charlemagne Problems which was slightly tart but also slightly sweet, I really enjoyed it. My husband had the short king cocktail, he obviously liked it because he forgot to give me a taste. Basically an old fashion with a twist. I asked if the kitchen was open and they told me yes, you order at the computer at the front right corner of the bar. So easy...they text when your order is ready and you walk right over to the pick up window inside. This is genius, especially if it's a crowded night. I love the vibe of this place but I don't know if I could handle this place when packed wall to wall for a game or a Saturday night. Seems like there would be a very different vibe. There were actually a few obnoxious patrons in there on a Sunday afternoon, I can't imagine if it was a full bar. I'll stick to the afternoons ha! The pizza was just decent. The sauce, dough and cheese were good, toppings left a lot to be desired. My husband said it wasn't much better than frozen pizza because of the low quality toppings. I would probably only order the pizza again if I was drinking a lot. The huge Pretzel and beer cheese was your standard fresh pretzel, I enjoyed it. Do NOT skip the pizza bombs, add on garlic sauce for 75 cents. Soooo tasty, definitely the best item on the small menu. So for my first time..service was good and food was satisfying (need better sausage for the pizza). Check them out. If you're not afraid of the crowds, go have a wild night at Killer Queen. Or you can be like me and check it out early enough before the 20 somethings take over each weekend night. P.S. House shots were good, off with your head was my fav. Let them eat cake was VERY sweet.

    Killer Queen is one of my friend groups' go to bars when down at The Banks. The outdoor seating area is great during the summer and allows for a break from the busy inside area. Upon entering, there is a massive Killer Queen neon sign that is great for pictures and the lighting is amazing. The booths surrounding the perimeter of the bar and face the center makes it easy for conversation or meeting new people. The bartenders are efficient and knowledgeable. Although it can get pretty busy before and after a Reds game, the bartenders do their best to keep up and there is even a To-Go ordering area out front so you can enjoy the rest of The Banks.

    Nice drink specials, but not a gay bar! Bartenders were friendly and music was good. The facility itself was nice looking.

    Drinks and mock-tails were wonderful! Nice to have that option at the banks. Wonderfully decorated and nice to see a girly bar downtown.

Despite having such a large group, drinks were out fast and there was plenty of seating. 2 things stick out here: Decor and the Drinks. Both were impeccably done. The nature meets wood and brick aesthetic is so purposefully laid out and when the eye cruises across the landscape it's so satisfying!! We had a LOT of drinks, but the jade river, el toro rojo, and pacific muse were our favorites. The drinks are priced pretty well ($12-$14) and the service was very prompt, always cleaning up empty glasses and clearing space for more people to sit. I for SURE recommend this place as a spot to come and throw a couple rounds back. We stayed for hours and drank and talked our hearts out! Thank you for such a wonderful night. 5 stars.

My absolute favorite thing I've had here (and one of the best drinks I've ever had period) is their S'mores Espresso Martini! It's literally perfection; aesthetically it's fun but still well composed as any espresso martini should be; it's has the right balance of sweet & coffee, & all of the flavors really make it taste like you're drinking an espresso flavored s'more! If you see this on the menu, it is a must try!

    I came out in December for their Miracle pop-up in 2025…read more As someone who has gone to a ton of holiday cocktail bars and pop-ups over the last 10 years, Overlook Lodge's is probably the best I've ever been to. 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.)

    Excellent little place to go and have a good time. Staff were really great. Drinks were really…read morenice. Cute atmosphere
