I spent a Friday night at Prim and had a great time! It's really cute inside, with plush pink couches and dim lights. A friend and I snagged a seat at the bar and tried a few different drinks, it was a win each time. They had a DJ playing a mix of R&B and hip hop so the vibes were high and people were dancing. We eventually tried some charcuterie and that was a nice bar snack. Overall a great night downtown. read more

A cool new cocktail bar offering modern elegance with its sophisticated furniture and cozy lighting. The place is upscale, but inviting and unpretentious. Our friendly server was great about suggesting popular drinks & her favorites. We got the Ruby, Tiger' Eye, & Amber. One section has booth seating (like a restaurant) and bar, while the other side is more of a lounge. Good drinks. Very impressed with the service, cocktails, & overall vibe. read more

Our party of 3 stopped in for an after dinner cocktail on Saturday evening. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately. The vibe is 70s Vegas/hipster/jazz. Really fun! The bartenders were fun to watch. Very efficient and accurate. I had the Tigers Eye and it was great. Well balanced and tasty. The music is accompanied by a roving saxophonist, adding to the jazzy vibe. Fun place to stop in for a drink or two. read more

We came to Prim for a last minute GNO and Woww this place is a vibe. We did not make a reservation and the staff is very friendly- a bartender grabbed a table for us when the party before us had gotten up and left. The drinks are truly one of a kind and so good- I got the one that is espresso martini inspired with bruleed banana vodka. You cannot go wrong! I love how the place encourages to put phones down and be present in the moment- "privacy is the last luxury" they say. I truly only had my phone out to snap these pics! I want to come back and be able to sit in the seating area to the left - it looked really cool. read more

This is the cutest bar and I'm so glad to have this new addition to Cincinnati. The design on the interior is so different in the best way. The mood curated by the owners is spot on. I've been here twice now and had the best time each time. The drinks are a little on the higher side, but I'm not mad at in the variety of options of course is always amazing. It's very inclusive. They have mock tails as well. Perfect spot for a girls night or to just get some friends together. The playlist is always great, and I love how the music is not too loud to where you can still have a conversation with the people you come with. Amazing job Prim! read more

Decided to come after dinner to see if they had availability at the bar. Lucky enough we just had to wait outside for about 15mins. The ambiance inside is great and the vibes were high. Lots of people socializing. I do think there were a bit too many people at the bar compared to places to sit down. Next time I want to get a reservation so we can sit and listen to the live music. I would say this is the same as Ghost Baby but above ground. I would want to see some difference between the two to make them their own unique self. The drinks are pricy and for not too much in them, but were crafted well. If you are planning to visit especially with a large group try and make a reservation ahead of time. read more

We visited Prim for the first time on February 20 while in Cincinnati celebrating our daughter's birthday. We've been to Ghost Baby many times and were excited to check out the new spot. We didn't have a reservation, so we started with drinks at the sidebar. The ambiance is incredible -- it truly feels like you've stepped into a scene from Goodfellas or Casino. Such a cool, immersive vibe. After we got our drinks, I spoke with the host, Veronica, and let her know we were a party of four without a reservation but would love a table if anything opened up, even just for a couple rounds of drinks. Within 15 minutes, she had us seated in a booth where we could relax and enjoy the live music. Our server, Jhene, was fantastic -- so patient and helpful while we decided on drinks and walked us through the options. The service really made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend Prim! read more

Large patio out back and they just put in a food kitchen with BBQ that was fantastic! Drink prices were completely reasonable and the bartenders were extremely friendly. They have a full bar and many beer options on draft, and also in bottles and cans. The only downside is the bathrooms were only renovated and not expanded, so it's extremely tight!

My sister and I ended our night out last weekend at Longfellow with a nightcap. The bartenders were…read morereally friendly and the drinks were strong and came out fast. It was pretty busy when we first stopped in, so we stood at a little wall table towards the front, but then a large section of the bar opened up and we moved over there to get more space. The music vibes were immaculate! All of the bangers from my childhood mixed in with some classics. At one point everyone in the bar was singing along to Michelle Branch and it was so fun. Before we leaving, we were talking about how cute the drink coasters were (like little doilies) with one of the bar tenders and she gave us extra and some match books for little mementos. Now we are contemplating starting a junk journal to have a physical reminder of our trips together. Wholly recommend stopping in for some late night drinks.

If you stop there, you would have no idea how big and cool the rest of the bar is. Keep walking past the bar and you'll see a private room with a pool table, fireplace, and chairs to host some type of smaller party. It could be a great place to host a birthday party with close friends! But wait! There's more! Keep on walking and find some stairs that lead into a basement. Down here we have sexy black sofas, tables, candles, and a stage! Apparently, this is where the creative get together and make sweet art. Great happy hour prices on cocktails and wonderful staff - we really like Jess who had a great personality and was very personable. I really want to come back to an underground show.

I had a very expensive cocktail that didn't taste any better than one I would get at any other bar. My biggest concern was how my pregnant friend was treated while sitting at the bar. Mind you, it was not crowded and she still ordered an NA drink. The server was rude and seemed annoyed that she wasn't going to be spending more money. I likely wouldn't come back if I was just stopping for a drink.

long story short: a lot of potential but too empty to deliver on the fun club energy…read more We went on Saturday night around midnight & the place was pretty empty. There was a DJ & a dance floor, but very few people were dancing, which was disappointing. The place itself was cool with colorful lights & fun graffiti-like walls, but the aesthetic was let down by the lack of people. We enjoyed the free popcorn & I really liked my drink, the downside up, although I realize it's probably too sweet for most. Unfortunately, the cocktail & popcorn didn't make up for the dead atmosphere & we left pretty quickly. I would be interested in going again & seeing what it would be like when it's lively; I imagine it would be a fun spot when the dance floor is full!

It was a nice night so we took advantage of being able to sit outside. I love all the random art and set up of the back. To drink I had the chunker, which was gin in a San Pelegríno it was a very refreshing drink! Deceptively doesn't taste like alcohol. I noticed some people with white claws and little airplane bottles so naturally I have to have a strong claw as well. We also had some very tasty shots, all around we had a good time, just hanging out and enjoying drinks, can't wait to come back here and visit again!

What a splendid place to find by chance. Cocktail bars are an uneven category that are usually…read moreoverglorified bars or wine bars that want a wider clientele. Not Anjou! A genuine cocktail bar dedicated to offering you a rotating menu of specialty drinks and mocktails, and willing to accommodate your custom requests as needed. Friendly and prompt service, pleasant atmosphere, everything a discerning customer could ask for for a few drinks waiting on a restaurant seat! I'm particularly fond of places that make mocktails a regular part of their service. What is effectively custom soda is a greatly undeserved area.

There's plenty of street parking and paid parking around the neighborhood and this is a diverse bar. They play good music make good drinks I can't and not your usual. I got the pineapple lemon drop and it was amazing. I would like to have another bartender maybe to work the bar as it is gets busy. ( sooner) However, that's a part of the deal. They have indoor seating and outside and they even let you bring in the neighboring restaurants food. They do not sell food, but the drinks complement them. You can even catch them doing live music like I did today. Check their social media postings.
