Local Post is an east end staple! If you're looking for a place with a great patio or indoor bar too with great wings, pizza, and all of the above, come here! The sultans gold dry rub is life changing... I definitely recommend it as a must get!! We love coming here in the nice weather to sit outside or be inside when the garage doors are open too if it's not too hot or cold! read more

We have been coming here since they opened (2018?) The food and drinks used to be really good. I felt like it had been going downhill since 2020, and we'd only come now and then to see if it had improved. It used to be a great place. The last time I was there- the a/c wasn't working, the bathroom was out of order, the tables were wobbly, and the food was totally mid at best. Just lackluster. Maybe all that wouldn't be so bad- but the prices were ridiculously high which i would not mind if the food were delicious. It just wasn't worth it. It's sad bc with a little maintenence and care- it could be really awesome. But I think I'll go to FedEx or UPS and give up Local Post. read more

Local Post is a restaurant on the east side of Cincinnati that's housed inside an old post office. The interior is very cool with the original floors, exposed brick walls, and a skylight to give the place a nice atmosphere. That's the only nice thing I'm going to say. I've been going here since it opened (10+ years) and it's steadily gone downhill. I'm afraid this visit will be my last. The food has been mediocre for the past couple times I've been. This last visit not only was the bathroom out of order but so was the air conditioner (it was in the high 90's this day I went.)! It was so muggy and hot inside and I heard an employee say it's been broken since Father's Day. Every table is wobbly and nothing was clean or wiped down. I had a specialty pizza and it was bland and nothing to write home about. My friend had one of the sandwiches and she said it was mid. The bill came and it was outrageous for what we had. It's a real shame because this place could be AMAZING if run well. It has been amazing in the past but those days are long gone. So to summarize: expensive food that I can make better at home, run down interior, broken bathrooms, broken air conditioning. Why would I ever come back? I won't. read more

Local Post has lots of TVs, making it a great spot to watch sporting events. The beer and drink selection is solid, and the overall vibe was good, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Service was a little slow the day we went, but not terrible. The food is always pretty good, but not great where I'm like "omg this is SO good!" I ordered the chicken bacon ranch pizza, which had good flavor but felt like it was missing something; maybe a bit more seasoning or being cooked slightly longer. The toppings were also sliding off, which made it a little messy to eat. Overall, a decent place to grab drinks and catch a game! read more

This is my third and final chance for the local post. 1st time was great 2nd was okay. 3rd was comical I went to local post at 630 and not a soul there. I go to find a seat and got helped 5 minutes later I got a water from the cook. Then our "server" came over with headphones in and took our order. (Quite ridiculous since this is a high end bar and grill) The service was so bad, I had to go to the bar to get a box and my checks. The service comes back with our digital check tablet and is on the phone while we are paying. The fries are good tho! I ordered the East End burger and got an over cooked patty that was 100% frozen. All in all for $24, I'd go anywhere else. The only reason I went there is because Hi mark was packed. read more

Looking for something different we gave Local Post a try. They weren't busy at all. We got prompt and efficient service. The menu isn't anything unique or different but decent. The pizza is good. Chicken sandwich was worthy, as were the seasoned chips. A bit on the pricey side, but not too bad. TIP: It's cold/chilly in the winter, be prepared. read more

Might be the Best grilled cheese and fries ever and I've reviewed 800 restaurants? Oh and there was a wonderful tomato soup with that for dipping! Oh and there was so much to eat it could have been split. Wow! I love this place. Super people behind the bar and working the floor. Even the cook was a delight to talk to. The ambiance was casual but cool enough for a great date night. And a wide selection of ales and spirits as you can see behind this historic bar. read more

My Mr. has dined here for lunch and highly recommend we check it out. We had scheduled a candle making class at Manitou Candle and wanted to eat nearby. Plus the Bengals game was on and wanted to watch it before our class. My Mr mentioned coming here and what a great recommendation. This is your basic pub and grub meals but made bistro style. They have plenty of seating and mass TVs everywhere if you want to watch a game. When it warms up, they have an outside patio that you can sit and enjoy your drinks/meals. Walked in and were seated right away. Our Server asked if it was our first time. Since it was mines, she went through the menu and told me which are best sellers, which I thought was really nice and helpful. Their menu is simple. But have a lot to offer. Appetizers, burgers, salads and pizzas. We ordered: -Slider Sampler- GOAT, East End, 1788 w/ fried -Reuben Sliders w/ house salad -Mastered Legendary Lager -Clos Du Bois Cabernet Sauvignon Wow! The sliders were amazing. I really loved the goat! The fig and goat cheese went really well with the burger. Sweet and salty goodness! The other two were not messy to eat and loved the sauce! The fries were not greasy and loved that they topped it with bread crumbs seasoning. My Mr killed his Rueben. I had a taste of it and loved the flavor! Overall it was such a great experience and the service was great! I found my fave sports bar and can't wait to come back and try the other items on the menu, especially the bruschetta! read more

My boyfriend and I have come to Local Post a few times because of their patio and being able to bring our pup. The food is decent and we enjoy the back patio, but I unfortunately have to write this review because of how poor the service was. I am a server myself and give people grace and patience because I know how crazy the service industry can be, but there were only 3 tables outside and it took our server 15ish minutes to greet us (no menus or 'hi welcome, how are you'). I had to ask for a water 2 times, and ended up going inside because our server never brought one and she was unable to find. There was no bussing of our table either, we had sat around a previous mess when getting there. Lastly, the beer pour. Just look at the photo and you'll see what I'm talking about. I really do want to go back for the ambience, but I would appreciate better service. read more

We were able to snag a spot at the bar on a busy Friday night! I ordered the slider sampler with chips, my daughter got the grilled cheese and tomato soup, and my husband got one of the burger and loved it. Sorry I can't remember the name. Def recommend checking it out! read more

Service was fantastic Food was wonderful, I'll be back!! Chicken and waffles and 1788 burger were awesome. Place was clean and had food read more

We we looking for a good burger on a Sunday. Most people are closed but not the local post. We walked and and got a spot by the kitchen window. We ordered one of everything I think the fries, burger and wings. Let me tell you, everything was amazing. We passed up on the servers suggested burger but after trying everything we order ANOTHER burger. Only complaint is we could have done without the fries, which was appetizer sized. A good problem to have lol read more

Fantastic food and such a fun experience!! Service was spot on and I will be going back as soon as I can!!

So I was in the east end for work and just really wanted a grilled cheese and soup. I looked up to see what was around me and this place popped up. After looking at the menu I decided to try it. Although the grilled cheese is a mix of cheeses (including goat cheese) but I figured it would be ok...I mean who doesn't like goat cheese. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The atmosphere was nice...it's has a bar and it's pretty spacious. The food....well it wasn't bad. It was just blah....the soup was very bland and although it sounded good...goat cheese grilled cheese is not a good idea. But I was so hungry I ate it. I would them again but later in the day...like I said it wasn't bad but it wasn't that meal that I was looking for....they were being fancy and what I needed was plain jane read more

Great local spot. Have several beers on tap and bottles. We got the Buffalo chicken spring rolls. Very good. Others around the table got loaded fries, a burger that looked so good with french fries that were cut so uniquely (and was served with a deep fried pickle). They have a neat space downstairs that can be used for private events. Service was pretty good, especially since we had 16-17 people in pour party. It was very very loud in there. (It's one draw back). Hard to talk to people even right next to you at times. read more

Great local bar to watch and game and enjoy some well crafted food. We live extremely close by and we're able to walk which makes this place even more desirable. The service was super friendly and the food is pretty good, definitely a sports bar feel but unique because of their location and building. We ordered some game-day essentials which included pizza, wings, and loaded fries. Notable findings here was the dry rub on the wings and the perfectly crisp pizza crust! We will be back for sure and look forward to trying different things on their menu. read more

The food wasn't bad, typical bar food but rather pricy for this area. The service is spotty and the servers are nice. I had to ask for water snd utensils long after the food was served. read more

Checked out Local Post last night with a couple of friends based on a recommendation. Let me start with, if you are looking for an awesome place to watch sports, this is it! They have TVs everywhere, a large projector, and loud sound system that allowed me to hear the game over the generally loud environment. The burger 1788 burger was big and kinda juicy. I was satisfied with it and fries. I was less impressed with the wings however. I often like dry-rubbed wings, but the seasoning on these was slightly too course causing a lack of flavor for many bites. I found myself dipping them in ketchup and ranch to add flavor. I feel like they could be improved by a finer seasoning so there is more surface area (and flavor) coverage. I would not go as far as to say they were bad, I just think they could be improved upon. If I ordered wings again, I'd probably opt for the wet variety. Our service was good for a busy Saturday night. Our waitress was friendly, kept us updated on our food timing, and offered us drinks when we were running low. I'll definitely be back to Local post as I'd really like to check out their patio on a warm day. I'd recommend this as a place for you and your friends to go and enjoy the game, have some beers and good bar food. read more

The food was really good! Service was awful. Friends at the same table ordered before us and we had to ask multiple time about our food . Our kids were also sat at another table and the front of house told them they could sit at the table multiple times even though we asked for a table for 11 with 6 chairs. When asking to talk to the manager rather than taking accountability for the mistakes they made excuses read more

Ugh!!!!!!! Have been here a few times since my first review. 1) one time the pipes were leaking condensation on all of the guests because it was "too hot" outside and every table was getting dripped on and it was a "too bad so sad" situation 2) another time they took 1 hour since ordering a pizza to tell us that "the pizza fell through the oven" and they don't have any more pizza dough and they were sorry but couldn't decide who to have break the bad news to us. 3) today we didnt get food for over an hour, no silverware, no napkins, half the menu is out of order, overall poor and slow service. Also $1 to substitute a cheese on a burger... a cheese they already have on their menu, why???? Lots of potential, minimal effort. Sad!!!!! Such a great location and cute spot. read more

I was looking for a place where I could have a drink and have a casual lunch with my 3 year old. Googled a few places in my local area and this popped up. I checked the website and I am NGL...the sole reason why I came to this restaurant is because I saw that a black woman was the head chef and I inherently knew the food was going to be well seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was. I'm looking forward to coming back and sitting outside once the summer hits. read more

Our running group decided to have brunch after our last long run of the Flying Pig training season. We had about 14 people. We sat out on the patio and it was perfect for a nice sunny day. It has a great atmosphere. The staff were all awesome. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, especially considering we had a large group and only gave them about 30 minutes notice that we were coming. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and the food was very good. We had everything from breakfast to burgers to pizza. Their fries are probably some of the best in the city. So good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, and also the reason I almost gave it 3, was the speed of the service. It probably took 20 mins for our drinks to start to arrive, after ordering them (mostly beer). Our food probably took over an hour from the time of ordering. I believe they had 1 bartender and 1 cook, so it's understandable. I'm not sure if they normally aren't busy on a Saturday at noon so were struggling to keep up (there were probably 30 people on the patio alone, counting us) or if this is just the pace of things here. Regardless, we were with friends and having a blast so it wasn't a big deal. Had I been in a relative hurry my review would've been lower. At the end of the day, I recommend Local Post. It was a good time, good food, and the staff was very friendly. I'll update my review after my next visit. I have a feeling we just caught them off guard. read more

In my forever quest to find the best pizza we recently tried the local post. While it won't be my favorite, it certainly delivered a great pizza! We tried the Dad's Mail and the Al Green Also snagged a few wings, which were pretty good. 6 bbq rub and 6 Mexicali. I would order them again if we ate there, but I wouldn't go there specifically for the wings. Both pizzas had great flavor, did not skimp on the toppings and the crust was well cooked. If you get the Al Green I would suggest asking for it to be well done, the sauce and cheese are so heavy the crust got soggy. read more

I was meeting out of town friends at Ault Park and we decided to order dinner through DoorDash to have delivered to the park. We picked Local Post per recommendation of a friend and a wide menu. First, the menu doesn't interface well with DoorDash. The names of menu items appear, but it gives no description so we had to keep looking back and fourth between a PDF online menu and the DoorDash app. This was problematic. The food. I ordered the Mamas Marg pizza and a friend ordered a cheese pizza. We found the pizza mediocre at best. The crust lacked flavor and needed salt. The pizza sauce didn't add much and even my veggies were sparse leaving me disinterested in eating it. We ordered some fried pickles to share and they were really spicy. One friend loved them, but they were way too spicy for two of us, so if you aren't into spicy I wouldn't recommend. I ordered a Diet Coke and was filled with coke. Also, a kids meal was supposed to come with fries and they were left off. Lastly, on DoorDash there was a $2.99 delivery fee which seemed reasonable, but then once we all had our orders in and I began to checkout, I discovered $16 in fees. Maybe we didn't order wisely, but it was a super expensive poor to mediocre dinner. read more

SO good! Like other yelpers, I've overlooked this place often and I regret it! They have some dang good food!! Word on the street was that their cheese curds were killer. Unfortunately for us, they're no longer serving them due to quality issues from their supplier. Wah! Hoping for a collab with Urbanstead soon? We ordered a two topping pizza (yum), post fries (stunningly delicious), royale burger (hubs LOVED) and housemade bbq chips (yaaaaaassss). Literally everything was delicious. I've been craving good bar food that is not Bdubs and I've finally found it! If you're looking for good American bar food, please check out Local Post. They're family friendly with jenga and cornhole out back and they're pizza is kiddo approved! Only downfall was the service was amazing at times but awful at times (during the same visit). read more

I really enjoyed this place and was our first time trying it. Came today for lunch around 1:45pm. Greeted immediately and taken to a table inside. Outside had a really cool patio set up but was too hot today to sit outside for our preference. Server was really nice and came back several times to check on us. (I've seen other reviews on Yelp for lack of service/rudeness from staff, but we didn't experience that whatsoever! Everyone was so nice.) Drinks and food came quickly. Food was fresh and hot! The loaded fries with the posty sauce hit the spot and the wings..... holy moly they were fried perfectly to be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I got the buckaroo dry rub and dipped into ranch and Buffalo sauce and wow oh wow was that YUMMY. These wings are now my favorite in Cincy. Will definitely come back! read more

We tried to get into swamp water grill, well I guess you got to get there earlier than five. So we ended up at Local Post. Excellent beer menu and the wings are pretty damn good.

Way overpriced for the quality of the food. You can find a significantly better burger for the same price elsewhere. They have a cool outdoor seating area in back but the inside smelled a little musty.

Never had the pleasure. Review solely based on interaction via telephone. I called because I had a Groupon. I wanted to pick up food for me and my 73 year old mother. My mom has not been out of the house since COVID. I have not dined inside since COVID. I honestly that that due to COVID there would be exception to the dine in rule. I would abide by the time restraint of the Groupon. There was no considerstion of my request. Flat NO. In this crazy time we are all making adjustments and exceptions. I know businesses are struggling. I planned on spending beyond the Groupon amount in support. The only change I asked for was to use the Groupon for pick up vs dine in due to COVID. It was due to expire December 2020. I did get refund from Groupon. I know 4 people that absolutely love this spot! Good burgers wings and more. read more

The pricing on the physical menu is lower than what they actually charge. I ordered Bruschetta and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. (The bruschetta was good, the chicken sandwich was not. The chicken was very tough. Also, I was not expecting just chicken covered in buffalo sauce. But I digress.) According to the menu, my total should have been around $24. Instead, I was charged $28. They do not provide a physical check either. You pay and sign via the handheld device the waitress has. I didn't ask about the price difference while I was there but on the drive home I kept wondering. So I looked up the menu online and sure enough, their online menu has higher pricing. I just feel like this is very sneaky and dishonest, all for a few extra bucks. Edit in response to owner- Shame on me? I was literally just there. The bruschetta was priced as $9 and the chicken sandwich was priced as $14.75 or 15ish. Shame on YOU for saying shame on me lol read more

I'm just gonna keep it all the way real. I really didn't like this place. The vibe was all off and everything that I wanted to try on the menu they didn't have. I asked for a specific drink and the bartender didn't bother to look it up. Instead he said I don't know what that is. So I ordered a run of the mill beer and instead of a glass my waitress brought an open can to the table and I had to request the glass. Wtf?!! In summary, I would describe this place is tacky and a little bit lazy and I'm probably not coming back but I'm sure I won't be missed. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more
