The cardio machines are all really maintained well and up to date. They have a Peloton bike which is my personal favorite to use. The highlight is their squash courts! They have two squash courts, both with view areas. The 4th floor gym/squash area is really warm, and welcoming and they have a TV with a large table where you can order food or a beer via the dumbwaiter! The food at University Club is PHENOMENAL. Whether you are going for lunch or dinner, there are always a variety of options to satisfy whatever craving you have. My personal favorite dishes are the buffalo shrimp which are a rather large appetizer but difficult to stop once you start eating! And they have a seafood pasta dish that is.... I dont even know how to put it in words... so delicious you will keep eating even when you are full! My lunch go-to is their Uclub salad which is probably my favorite salad in the city. If you have the chance, definitely check this place out. If you enjoy your time there, consider membership! The prices are very reasonable and they have special rates for young professionals.

Went here to celebrate my birthday with some friends and was basically harassed out of the place…read more We went to find a spot to settle in and had brought in waters because it's a hot summer day. I was unsure if this was allowed but nothing was said upon entrance so I thought it was okay. not even five minutes into being there we were aggressively told to dump out our drinks so I go ahead and do so immediately. We went towards the bar a few minutes later to order a drink and to play pool afterwards. before we could say or do anything the bartender yelled at us to order something and accused us of things. very alienating and rude I would not go here if you don't like to be treated poorly.

The only reason gave it more stars than I wanted to because the place was so cute…read more I traveled from Texas to see a concert in Newport. I chose to pick local dive places to visit to support small businesses. I came in and the place was dead silent in the front. The bartender was not welcoming. I said hello. She proceeded to tell me I couldn't sit at the bar because people were there but they weren't. Which is fine I just wanted to order. I asked if there was a menu or a recommendation. Explained I traveled from Texas. She said nope no menu. And gestured like "this is it" I said ok no worries. Asked if she had a local beer to recommend she said no. She doesn't drink. I said ok that's fine just pour me anything local I like all kinds of beer. She got upset and said I needed to help her out and pick something. Wild to me. As someone in the industry that would be my point to serve them the best or most expensive thing. She just didn't seem to care. I really was excited to come here. And only spent $5.50. Could have spent alot more if the hospitality was there. Drank half my beer and left to the next spot.

Partying at The Birdcage was a highlight of a recent trip to Cincinnati. I was in town for the…read moreYoung Democrats of America conference, and the bar hosted a DJ and extended an invitation to us. While the club was open to others that night as well, they gave YDA shout outs on social media and welcomed us with open arms. There was no cover, and they hosted karaoke one night, even calling in another bartender when the bar got busy. I can only speak for the night I went and the fact that the party was catered to young people between the ages of 20-40, but the DJ played a good mix of songs from modern to hits from the 2000s. For us older partiers, it was a fun chance to introduce the "littles" to the music we liked growing up. While LGBTQ+ mainstream inclusion has expanded over the last 10-15 years, a lot of LGBTQ+ centered bars have closed. I've always felt more comfortable at those bars and we have few in my area. Plus, Birdcage is LGBTQ+ and Latinx owned. I had a Hot Boy Summer cocktail, which came in a 16 oz. pouch. The cocktail was about $11.50, which seems expensive at first, but it's 16 oz. and the pouch makes it safe. There's little chance of spilling your drink or having your drink spiked. I don't think that would happen here, but as a lady, you can't be too careful. I wish we had the "pouch drinks" when I was younger. The pouch cocktail is ice-free, so it doesn't water down. You can get regular cocktails, too. I had to wait a while, but it was worth it since I felt at home in the bar. If you're in Cincinnati and looking for a fun place to dance or do karaoke, check it out.

I go here every month for a private party and this was my first time here for no reason on a random weekend. I saw some familiar faces and even got hit on a few times. Typical club atmosphere but people seemed a little more polished and upscale. There was a heir of class about the place and its not a meat market like some other places.
