    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.

    I was extremely excited when coming down to the banks for the new bar, especially since I do not get down there often. The prices were competitive with the other bars down there and downtown in general and we even went on a Sunday when it was $4 House shots and we had both of those. The cocktails were good and shots were decent! Overall, the experience was great and staff was friendly. The vibe was a 10/10 and there was the option to order pizza and other finger foods. Just like everywhere down at the Banks, there might be a wait when they are little busier. While I do not see myself going here all the time, I think it is a place to stop in at least. A place to check out for sure! Full Walkthrough Here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrgOzBMp_Lw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

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

    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.

Ordered a bottle of wine and got the cheese board for free (only on Wednesday's). Found out on Thursday's they offer $2 oysters! Make sure to get there early.

    Ambiance is great. The place is super intimate and beautifully designed…read more Food was okay. There were six of us. Those who got the octopus had great reviews. Two in my party got the cheeseburgers and they were still mooing when they came out. Both asked to send them back to be cooked longer. Fries were amazing. I got the Beef Kafta and while, good, it just wasn't worth the price. I think my salad was literally 4 pieces of lettuce. Drinks were delectable though, so if you just want nice ambience and a drink, I think the bar would be fun. Service was odd. We asked 4 times for enough menus for the 6 of us, and we ended up with 1 menu to share? Then we got hit with a tip service fee of 30% for a large party. I left feeling I had an appetizer for dinner.

    My fiancée's boss decided to have our annual Christmas dinner here. I looked at the menu and was…read moreexcited to try it! Tapas style and made by the awesome chef Jose Salazar. Described Moroccan inspired style. Their drink menu is very impressive! Nice wine and cocktail selection. All would pair well with your meals. We ordered: Drinks: -L'archetipi Litrotto Rosso (bottle/red wine) Dinner: -Crispy fried chickpeas w/ cumin salt -Warm marinated olives -Moroccan almonds -Medjool dates and cabra al vino cheese -Lamb tagine -Steamed little neck clams -Grilled Spanish octopus -Beausoleil oysters -Roasted beets and squash Our meals came out one at a time. It was hard to choose my favorite. The oysters were fresh and shucked to perfection. The chickpeas were light and airy. The clams were amazing. Loved the sauce l! The octopus was also delish. Was not rubbery and melts in your mouth. Everyone raved about the lamb! I loved cous cous that came with it. Overall all the meals were unique and had great flavor. We had such a great experience. The service was really good and I can't wait to tell my friends. I can see us coming back.
