Thanks, Courtney, for your outstanding service! You truly made my sister's birthday and her first visit to The Hamilton a great introduction to DC. Your menu recommendations were perfect. read more

$7 cocktails on Wednesdays and Saturdays?! Yes please! This quaint place serves up delicious plates and cocktails and has a great assortment of wine. I sat outside on the back patio with some friends and we enjoyed the evening so much. We tried a variety of the cocktails since they were only $7. "Netflix and Chill" was our favorite. The goat cheese was our favorite bite. Our server was so kind and friendly. We plan to come back for $2 taco Tuesday! read more

I really like this place and have experienced it in several different ways now. Really good cocktails on a random evening in, amazing appetizers (I really like the goat cheese and honey), changing up Happy Hour deals, and our favorite, taco Tuesday where you get $2 Modelo, tequila shots, and tacos. The space is nice, if a little narrow. Service can be slow but is always nice. read more

They get 5 stars for putting up with us. I was invited for an spur of the moment taco Tuesday. I sat at the bar with 5 friends and the table next to us was also part of the group. The group combined was very loud. Loud enough I think to make some folks uncomfortable. The servers were very gracious! They have $2 tequila shots, $5.00 margarita and tacos. The margarita was ok, I wish they had a freshly made mix but it was $5 right. The tacos were cool. Shots were Sauza. We had a ball. I give 3 stars for tacos. Again, 5 stars for them being so gracious! read more

Absolutely phenomenal little spot! If you're a cheese fiend, this is definitely the place for you. Charcuterie. Melted cheeses of all sorts. Sandwiches (with and without cheese.) And wonderfully crafted cocktails. Great date night spot! read more

Nestled in amongst the Hamilton Ave old commercial buildings, this place has charm. Patio is roomy while the inside is cozy. No loud music so conversation can survive. Service was very good but the kitchen was slightly off on their timing as my wife's tacos came out quickly but my brats took longer to get out. No big deal as the food was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Street parking at $1.25 per hour from 8am to 9 pm. read more

Absolutely love this place. They have craft cocktail night on Saturday for 7 dollars. They also have 10 dollar bottles of wine! Didn't get food but I have before and it is amazing. In the summer there is a patio which is so cute but in the winter like now it is cozy and warm. Love the knowledgeable staff and friendly people. This is the only Northside place I would give 5 stars. Plan on returning very soon. read more

The Hamilton - Blackberry mule and jalapeño margarita - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place really is delightful. My partner and I opted for the hummus plate (the hummus flavor rotates, and we were delighted to find out today's flavor was dill) and the charcuterie board. I remember coming here about a year ago for the amazing vegan charcuterie, but that was not listed on the current menu. Though it is worth the ask-it was delicious. The hummus was an ample portion with carrots, celery, and pita bread for dipping. Likewise the charcuterie was quite large and came with 3 meats, 3 cheeses, a variety of pickled offerings like baby dills, olives, pickled beets, pickled artichokes, and mustard, apple butter, and crostini. We did not leave hungry. I tried both the jalapeno margarita (good, but not spicy) and the summer BBC (delicious and boozy). The service was also exceptional and attentive and I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a fancier date night but not too frou-frou in either ambiance or pricing. Just a really solid, "I feel like treating myself" spot. read more

The Hamilton is such a gem! Stopped in for a pre dinner cocktail and sat on the patio. The patio is such a lovely space. Lots of plants and cozy seating. Also shaded at that time of day (6 PM). I had a Summer BBC and a spicy margarita, and my husband (2) Kentuckians. All were delicious. The Summer BBC was especially refreshing. We ordered the honey and ricotta. Again, delicious, and perfect as a pre dinner snack. This place is something special. Be sure to stop in! read more

This place is so very cozy, I love the ambiance. I had 2 cocktails, and both were made very well. They were delicious. We had the Beer Cheese & Pretzel, and the Northside charcuterie. Both were very yummy, and I do believe it was the best beer cheese I have ever had. The service was great! Looking forward to going back. This was my first time here and it did not disappoint. read more

My friend lives in College Hill and introduced me to the Hamilton last night. Man! I am glad she did. Situated in Northside, it appears to be a friendly, neighborhood spot. They have Taco Tuesday with $2 tacos and $5 margaritas. The tacos are fine and the bartender has mastered the simple margarita, using just fresh lime, house-made simple syrup and tequila. I can totally see myself becoming a regular. Lol. Cheers! read more

Wow, this place is Mecca for foodie/winey/boozie folk like me. Smart selection of wines, including very nice bottles you can enjoy at retail prices. Try Rombauer Chardonnay for about $10 a glass, a Sancerre for $6.50, two Amarones for less than $15 a glass...are you kidding me? You'd pay 2x-3x at other restaurants. They also offer a solid slate of craft cocktails. I tried the Kentuckian, which found s very interesting midpoint between Manhattan and Sazerac; subtle and thoroughly delicious. The eats are mostly high-end happy hour stuff, including terrific charcuterie and goat cheese boards, but they have a few salads and handhelds that could make for a full meal. Great atmosphere that's both classic and hip; friendly staff; terrific value. You really can't go wrong here. read more

Amazing food and the service was on point!! Thanks for making my husband's birthday special

This bar is appropriately named The Hamilton. It's located on Hamilton Avenue. They have an Alexander Hamilton theme. Good cocktails. There's also some food that's fancier than typical bar stuff. Inside it looks like it's been there awhile. Not really, because this bar is pretty new. There's lots of exposed brick, which makes it seem rustic. All the signature cocktails sound good. Too many to choose from, but anything you choose should be okay. Cocktails here are about $10, but they also have a happy hour. I had the Treasurer. Another appropriate name. Hamilton was Treasurer of the United Stated of course, so this is like the signature drink here. It also has some food. This seems like pretty fancy stuff. Charcuterie is assumed to be meaty. Vegetarians can get it however because they have a version made from tofu. Overall a very good bar. Excellent cocktails. The food is healthy and vegetarian friendly too. read more

Wonderful find in Cincinnati! The food was great!! Loved the Beer cheese and pretzels. The drinks were tasty and the service was the best!! read more

The husband and I had a small bar date here, and we enjoyed our visit. I started with the Raspberry Beret cocktail ($9) - housemade raspberry vodka, lemon, and raspberry liqueur. My husband had the Delaney cocktail ($8) - Pimm's Blackberry Elderflower, lemonade, and prosecco. Strong start to our bar/dining experience. I also ordered the Streetcar ($8) - brandy, hibiscus liqueur, triple sec, and lemon juice. I don't think I'm much of a brandy fan. As others have noted, they have a fair amount of vegetarian options, which is great to see! We shared the Modern Fondue ($14) - Gruyere, Port Salut, white cheddar, apple, fried artichoke, pear jam, and crostini. We also shared the Warm Goat Cheese ($12) - whipped goat cheese, roasted garlic and tomatoes, sundried tomato, basil, and crostini. They were both tasty dishes. Literally the only complaint we had about our experience was that we were charged $2 for the additional crostini we asked for. Considering we'd already paid $26 for just our food (both items served with crostini), I would think it would be reasonable to expect that an adequate amount of bread be provided to complete the dish. read more

The drinks were really good and they have a cute outdoor seating area. The food however....needs a LOT of help. The charcuterie was not pleasant at all and I've never met. Charcuterie board I didn't like. The cheeses were squares and one of them was Swiss, which is not something you want or expect on a charcuterie. The pickled veggies were inedible and tastes like perfume. I ordered soup and it was unpleasant looking and even worse tasting. I really had high hopes because of the reviews but I'm guessing it's for the drinks and ambiance and not food. read more

The Hamilton is a great place hang out with friends for a light meal and drinks. In good weather, there is a quaint small patio space, and in all weather the main seating area is cozy. They have excellent and innovative mixed drinks, and the servers and owner are very friendly. read more

Came here for date night with my husband last night. When we walked in on Wednesday around 6:30pm, it was pretty empty. We decided to sit at the bar. The bartenders were super friendly and offered food and drink recommendations. I got the Vesta cocktail, which was strong but a little too bitter for me, so I think next time I will get wine or beer. Their menu is small plates with lots of veggie friendly options. They even have a vegan charcuterie board! We got the modern fondue ($14) and the Northside charcuterie board ($15). Both were really yummy and reasonably priced for what you got. The cheese selections on the charcuterie board were good, and it comes with their homemade hummus and pickled veg. The fondue was tasty, but heated up by a tiny candle so it wasn't too hot...We probably should have waited a little longer to let it heat up more but we were hungry! Overall, this is a nice bar and tapas style restaurant. I'll be coming back for that vegan charcuterie board because I have to try it! read more

Amateurs Welcome! If you've visited almost any other establishment offering charcuterie and wine, I recommend sticking to one of those. That said, if you're 21 and want to take a chick your age to a "wine bar," before heading back to your house in Clifton with 6 roommates and one bathroom - THIS IS YOUR SHIT. These are the "need to knows": 1. Buy your wine in a bottle, believe me, it'll be cheaper than letting Katie get herself a couple of fun cocktails. 2. At grown up wine bars, or basically anywhere else, when you a buy a bottle of wine, they give you a little taste as soon as they open the bottle, you nod politely, and then they pour for you and your date. Not here! So you can either make a thing out of it (Katie might like that), or go with the flow (Katie won't know any different, will she?). And bottles are typically under $20 so it might be worth just going with it. 3. EVERYTHING on the menu comes with stale crostini. But again, prices are on point. Have Katie bring some Stacy's Pita in her purse. Worth iiiiit! 4. Portions are huge. Big win for you, bro. Just get a couple of items. 5. Avoid the charcuterie. Black bean hummus in a cute little dish is still just black bean hummus. The pickled asparagus is as limp, pale and unappetizing as your pecker after two cheap bottles of the wine here (photo attached), rated PG. Two stars for the pricing and quantity. Good luck, bro. read more

Any time I post a negative review (I'm looking at you, Dewey's), I feel compelled to post a positive review about another place. What can I say, I'm a nice midwestern girl at heart. I want to be kind. We've been to The Hamilton a few times. The vibe is very "new school" Northside. It's still got a little grit to it but it's pretty sanitized. The menu is small but has a nice variety including a greater than normal number of vegetarian options. (Normal for the rest of the city, maybe about average for Northside!) They have a nice, unique cocktail menu and decent beer & wine selection. A few fun things that make it stand out: - There has always been some sort of entertainment. From a solo violin player (very fun) to a small jazz ensemble to the always popular bar trivia. - Nightly drink specials. Enough said. - They have a weekly bottle $10 bottle special from their wine shop. I don't care who ya are, that's a good deal! And they don't carry your "run of the mill" choices. You can find some interesting options. Come for happy hour and bring a bottle home to have with dinner. Service has generally been good. Attentive but not overbearing. That's enough for us. All in all, it's an easy place to go and hang out. While you're there, check out the wallpaper in the bathroom. (Yeah, I'm including a reference to the bathroom in my review.) read more

Love this little place. The small plates and cocktails are perfect for a fun night out with friends. The only thing I would suggest is some kind of sound absorption. When it is crowded it is impossible to have a conversation. I definitely prefer to come when it is less busy so I can enjoy my drinks and conversation. read more

Great quality and creative small plates, fairly priced, and a small collection of curated cocktails. We didn't try beer or wine this time, but there were nice happy hour specials for both on Thursday evening all night. Looking forward to the addition of a dessert menu! Much like The Littlefield and Northside Yacht Club, it is really the epitome of Northside becoming a more low key and high quality version of OTR. I'm a fan. read more

The management of Bistro Grace across the street has done it again. An upscale, friendly neighborhood wine bar that is well needed. One no longer needs to go to OTR to get the urban upscale feel. Apps are the perfect pairing with the fine wines that are served. read more

Dark, romantic spot on Hamilton Ave in Northside. The bar has lots of great, creative cocktails and beer & wine selections. There is a very small bar menu but all items on it are delicious and on point. Do not go to the Hamilton if you want dinner. This is a bar with a great atmosphere and small plates to accompany the exotic spirits. Enjoy! read more

This place is so eclectic and unique! Came here for my mom's birthday and we ordered a series of appetizers, none of which were bad! However, most of the appetizers came with bread or crackers, and the amount of dip to bread was absurd. We requested more bread four times, and still had leftover dip. And when they brought out "extra bread", they brought out literally five small rounds, and we ended up being charged for the extra bread. Despite this, the appetizers were delicious and the service was good! read more

YUM! I went here for happy hour Taco Tuesday and the tacos were awesome! I also had a beer, so I can't speak to their cocktails. The vibe was romantic and I would definitely recommend this place for a first date. The lighting was low with candles and the furniture was beautiful. read more

Highly recommend getting a cocktail here! The charcuterie looked great, but we had eaten already. I'd like to come back at another time to try the food! Loved the bourbon and gin drinks. Can't remember the name of my drink, but it involved gin, lemonade, basil and cherry liqueur - YUM! Also, service was amazing! Our bartender was so friendly. I am looking forward to coming back! read more
