To start, let me just say that I've never been the biggest fan of bars. The noise? The crowds? No…read morethanks. Throughout my time as a student at NKU, my friends told me all about 'The Tavern' and the great times they had there. One day, they finally convinced me to give it a shot. In return, it gave me some of the best shots I've ever had. Since then, Billie's Skyline Tavern has been a frequent hangout for my group of friends. The atmosphere is very, for the lack of a better word, chill. It's never too loud and it's never too crowded. It's a perfect place to spend a night with friends without having to shout at them over someone else. It's also really easy to strike up a conversation with someone new there. The food is the standard stuff you'd find on any other pub's menu, but the prices are good for the portions you get, and everything I've every ordered has been good. As for the mixed drinks, they are some of the BEST I've ever had! Better quality than some of the 'fancy' restaurants I've been to. I've watched the staff make the drinks at the bar, and they certainly aren't skimpy with the liquor. Every bartender I've ordered drinks from has been very helpful. I have a handful of cocktails I always order, but if I point out a liquor I'd like to try but don't know what to combine it with, the staff has always been more than happy to make suggestions. They've all been winners! My friend, who is very particular about her drinks, once asked one of the bartenders for a very specific cocktail she had ordered at another restaurant. Though she had never made that specific drink, the bartender was very enthusiastic about trying something new, and worked very hard to assure my friend was satisfied with her drink. The only real complaint I have is that smoking is allowed in the building, but honestly, for the quality you get and the price you pay, a little bit of second hand smoke is worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone!

They offer delicious seasonal drinks, and every drink & shot I've tried has been amazing! My absolute favorite thing I've had here (and one of the best drinks I've ever had period) is their S'mores Espresso Martini! It's literally perfection; aesthetically it's fun but still well composed as any espresso martini should be; it's has the right balance of sweet & coffee, & all of the flavors really make it taste like you're drinking an espresso flavored s'more! If you see this on the menu, it is a must try!

Wow, what a fall from Grace... When second story originally opened the bar was incredible. The…read moremusic was great, the drinks were really well made, and they had a great selection and were willing to make specialty cocktails for anybody who asked. Sadly not the case today. Each and every time my friends and I have returned it seems that things are getting worse and worse. The menu has been cut in half, the service is not as good as it used to be, the prices have increased, and they are no longer willing to make exceptions or modify most of the cocktails; even when asking for something simple like a replaced spirit for an up-charge or to accommodate allergies. It's been getting a little more "club" atmosphere recently. The music is louder, the clientele a little more rowdy. Maybe some prefer that, but we miss the elevated cocktail lounge it used to be.

The fish was cooked well and had a good crunch. It was lacking in the seasoning department, but nothing a little table salt and pepper couldn't doctor up a tad. The service was lacking quite a bit. We were pretty much ignored in terms of refills and check ins. The seating is really crammed with people in every nook and cranny. It is loud, but that's to be expected for a sports bar. I will say that after looking at all the mixed reviews, it was better than expected - not by much but better.

The 'tip' scam is when you receive the final bill, in this case, without any itemization, and you have a total INCLUDING TAXES. You're then asked to figure out your own percentage or punch 18, 20, 25% in on a terminal but that results in tipping on the tax, too. Pay attention to your bill.

There was plenty of space and seating available when we came in on a Saturday evening. Our party started at a large wobbly high-top and then moved to a more comfortable booth spot in the corner. I enjoyed the ceiling art. Our group collectively enjoyed some of their chic craft cocktails. All of them were beautifully assembled. The Casse was decent, but if your after the bold flavor of tequila you're not going to taste much of it. I greatly enjoyed the Pistachio Martini.

But the second you walk in, something just clicks. It's easy -- like you've been here before in another life or like you've known this energy forever. The vibe is calm but magnetic. Not trying too hard, not putting on a show -- just honest, comfortable, and kind of intoxicating in the quietest way. You could stay for hours and still not want to leave, even after last call. That kind of place. There's a warmth that sneaks up on you -- the kind that makes you laugh more than you thought you would. Makes you say things you didn't plan to say. Makes you wonder how something so easy can also feel so rare. I don't know what kind of magic they've got going on here, but it's working. Trust me -- this place stays with you. Vinny is the best

The bar top in particular is a really smooth live edge wood. A great place to spend an evening. A few other local couples stopped in throughout the night, and it was a great atmosphere. The menu is really something else. A list of craft cocktails, inspired by historic bars in Newport itself. Each sounded amazing, and there is something for everyone. They even had a Joe Burrow themed drink with fresh orange syrup! It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the planning of the menu, the spirits, decor, and overall vibe. I believe cocktails were all priced $10-$15 but were generous, well made, and well worth it. This place is definitely worth a stop!

I was afraid to even order an appetizer because it looks like everything is in a deep freezer and who knows how long it's been sitting there. Bartenders don't seem to care. They don't engage conversation. They are clearly just there to make their hourly pay and then gobble up your tip as soon as you place it on the bar. Lady's night was a total joke. No specials, no advertisement. No presents on social media whatsoever. I think this place is a money laundering scheme or the owner. Or a tax write-off. Go down to Olde Town.
