My friend and I saw a man with a beautiful deep purple drink and was told him and his wife ordered a Ghost Train Margarita, we wanted the same because the Halloween menu sounded fun! This drink pictured was the Ghost Train Margarita we got, it didn't resemble what the man ordered. I ordered the Pineapple Express which supposedly is the "Ghost Train Margarita" without blackberry preserves...? Very interesting. We were made the same drink and when we pointed it out she just added blackberry preserves to the Pineapple Express. Cool outdoor vibe though, enjoyed the DJ most of all.

We were greeted with a smile, served a wonderful cocktail, and the classic rock/alt music was right up my alley! I will be back!

Rosedale is a new bar. It's in the place of the former Neons. The bar looks pretty much the same. It still has a nice patio and bar. The service is pretty quick. I had a Sweetwater beer. It's about $5 for a pint. That isn't bad for a great craft beer. It's beer and cocktail menu isn't large. What brings people in is the patio. And it brings them in. Especially on weekends. Come on a weekday for a more enjoyable experience. There's actually room to move. It's also very dog friendly. There were quite a few dogs leashes around the tables. It's a pretty good successor of the previous bar. Maybe it's not as good. This is still a nice place for getting together.

Lovin' the new Rosedale! It has a classy yet rustic vibe inside complete with fireplace. There is also a pool table and small video game table. The seating at the bar is nice and there are a few couches and tables to choose from. Outside there is still the prime location patio with fireplace/pit. Not much was going on outside besides the fire, but in the summer they said they will have guest chefs among other things! We came on a Sunday, sat at the bar, and pretty much stuck to the beer. They have a nice selection of craft draft as well as cans. They were out of a few things, but understandable since it was the end of Bockfest weekend. I did sample a custom egg white cocktail someone else had and it was really good! Maybe next time i'll grab some cocktails. We spent quite a few hrs here and watched our bartender handle the crowd by himself without even batting an eyelash. He seriously rocked! There is pretzels mixed with wasabi peas for munching (upon request). Added bonus, indoors and out is pet friendly! On this particular day there were several doggies hanging out!

Rosedales is one of my all time favorite bars in cincy. They have a great inside and outside area so it's great for any time or weather. This weekend it was super nice and we played cornhole for a while which was so fun. This place is really fun during the day but also a great night time spot as well. It is right by all of the other bars in OTR so I always end up here. Definitely recommend!

This is a staple bar that my friends and I frequent when we go out in OTR, especially when the weather is nice. One of my favorite things to get to drink is their "pub beer". It's only $3, and is a simple, light beer. The decor is very similar to when it was Neons with some additional decorative outdoor lighting. The outdoor space is really awesome, with both cornhole and giant Jenga available to play. They also have various food venues sell food when the weather is good. If you want to be inside, but it's too crowded downstairs, there is also an upstairs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah we all know Rosedale took over in place of Neons. The layout is still very similar, with an updated vibe. I'm not a huge fan of the dark decor inside, but it has a consistent rusticness to it. If I'm going to Rosedale though, I don't really plan to be inside. With that being said, the patio of Rosedale got some serious love. I love the lights hanging in the trees, the actual nice tables that don't feel like your safety is at risk, and the updates outside bar. I'm not sold on the bocce ball area yet though. I went on a Sunday night and it wasn't too crowded so people could comfortably play, but I wonder what happens on a packed weekend night as the courts take up a lot of needed space. Also, the courts were being used for corn hole but I guess to each their own. The "pub beer" here was also only $3 and wasn't a half bad drink. I'm hoping to see a larger selection of drinks, but it could have also been the bartender who didn't seem to remember half of their menu. Rosedale seems to still be getting its footing so I'll definitely return, and of course, the best thing always is the dog friendliness of the bar!

We're all thinking it aren't we? WHY GOD, WHY. Why did you take our precious Neon's from us? And then the news of Rosedale opens... And not that we want it to fail by any means, but I don't think in the history of "living up to things" has there ever been a higher set of expectations put on a place. Well folks, it's open. Neons is dead. Rosedale is here. I'll admit, it's awesome - get over it. It seems to me they really tried to keep the integrity of the place, because let's face it - this is where the owners and bartenders hung out too. This space was also their watering hole for so long. They took their time and did it right. They scrubbed the place from top to bottom. Fixed the things we came to love from Neons like the wobbly chairs, uneven stairs, and sticky floors. And once you see it - it's almost like Laney Boggs in She's All That. You just KNEW she was pretty to begin with (for real how could Rachael Leigh Cook not be adorable?) All it needed was some polishing. There is an actual roaring fire in the fireplace. The seating and furniture *actually* make sense for the space. The upstairs has a BAR to order drinks from! It's outrageous. They are actually making the space functional. Not to mention the two bocce courts they restored outside - the original draw to the OG neons space. I also want to add they have a *teeny tiny* cocktail menu right now as they are rolling things out. I was that annoying girl who ordered two cocktails off menu - however a super charming gent was happy to make both for me and didn't make me feel like an asshole for ordering what I wanted which was greatly appreciated. Kudos on the fantastic service! The *ONE* thing I will miss though - is the infusions. And it's not fair to put this on them, but it might be nostalgic to have a rotating infusion or two where you can walk up like you used to and just say, "make me something with the rose petal infusion." There was no where else in the city I could do that, and that is what I will miss most. Super proud to see the restoration of such a legendary space. You had some big shoes to fill and you really did it right without stepping on anyones toes by keeping the memory alive while also making it your own. Big things coming for you guys, congrats!
