We visited on a rainy Friday night, when we got there it wasn't too busy, but by the time we left it was almost full. It's a pretty small space. The drinks are fairly priced, $10 for the spicest margarita I've ever had. The bartender was busy, and working alone she managed to keep everyone happy. The decor is pretty cool, including the bullet holes on the bar top. Annie Oakley herself was a badass and there's lots of memorabilia here to see. We'll be back!

All he had to do was ask him no problem. But he had to act like a 4 year old that didn't get his way. I sure hope he has better day tomorrow. But he will not be getting any patronage from us. We walked out. Which was such a shame for all involved. Wow I am still so very shocked. Never seen anything like that before ever.

About a dozen beers on tap, looked pretty well stocked with liquor too. Good number of screens to watch sports but not over the top. Keno machines and juke box and a handy ATM.

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.)

They made it work for us and were very accommodating. The food menu served was brunch. The menu was simple, but they had a lot to offer. I would best describe southern soul food. Very reasonable in pricing and the drink menu had a great selection as well. My fiancée and I ordered: Drinks: -Pinot noir -Manhattan -Espresso Martini Brunch: -Grilled salmon with side of onions & potatoes - Shrimp and grits For it being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was fabulous. My salmon was grilled perfectly. The hot honey went very well with my salmon. The potatoes were delish. My fiancée really enjoyed his shrimp and grits. He mentioned that the shrimp was on point. I tried my friend's French toast . Wow! That was amazing. Nina was our server and she was great! Very polite and attentive. She was working really hard. I want to give her huge props. I highly recommend coming here. The DJ really knows his music and everyone was having a great time. That's all that matters, Right!? Great place!

While this one is smaller, it's still fun and has a lot of charm to it. With the purchase of a drink, all of the games are free to play. And there are a lot! They also have a Gamecube and Nintendo 64 plugged in with a bunch of games! Speaking of drinks, they have a ton of cool ones that you can try. I love spiking their slush puppies, a nostalgic favorite of mine. This is a really fun bar to visit, it's definitely worth a stop in.

There were tons of people here also on a Saturday night. The drinks were only so-so. That Ube Margarita comes from a tap (like they premake it) and is way too sweet for me. If they made each drink individually they could probably make it less sweet but since they don't, it was hard to finish. (I know this is the most popular drink, it's pretty but not for me). We also ordered an Old Fashioned from the menu...also only so-so. Eh, bummer. They do have a small food truck selling snacks like fries etc though. They had a private event going on in the smaller area with another bar, that seems nice.
