The Wicked Pickle

Hops & Berry is easily one of our favorite spots in the Cincinnati area. The self‑pour setup makes…read morethe whole experience fun you can try a bunch of different beers without feeling rushed, and it's honestly way more enjoyable than a traditional bar. The place is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is just right every time we visit. Recently I tried another self‑pour bar in the Columbus area, and the experience just wasn't the same. Hops & Berry's system feels way more intuitive and fun to use. I think they use a company called Pourtek, and the interface is super clean and interactive. We actually live a few hours away, but whenever we're in Cincinnati, we make it a point to stop here. It's become one of those places we look forward to. Really wish they would expand into Columbus or Cleveland because we'd be there all the time.

Maybe it's because I'm old (about to turn 87), it was ridiculously loud. The level of loud where…read morethere is no possible way you are able to talk with the person directly next to you. We did stop by on a Saturday evening. But why go to a bar if you are only able to say "what??", "huh??". The service was fine. But you do serve yourself as it s one of those pour your own beer. So you are the bartender. For yourself. I don't know. It's been a trend for a while now. This type of spot must be fun and interesting for others. Just not for me.

Great environment to watch your favorite sports team.

The ground floor is a traditional dining area, nicely appointed. The second floor was closed so we didn't get to see it. We were seated on the third floor, which is more sports bar themed and includes both indoor and patio options. The patio was not in use due to the threat of uncooperative weather. We had reservations and were seated quickly. The service was attentive and friendly. Despite the New Orleans vibe, the menu had only a handful of Louisiana style dishes and was more in line with a typical variety menu. I was down for some Cajun cuisine but there were few dishes that looked attractive. We shared apps of flash fried Brussels sprouts with remoulade and some Cajun dry rubbed wings, both of which were enjoyable but far from exceptional. I also ordered the jambalaya, which was more of a very spicy chicken and andouille stew with a scoop of rice in the center, not my usual experience with jambalaya. I'm a spicy food guy but even I thought the spice level of the dish was pretty aggressive and probably too much for the average diner. My companions' dishes were merely okay. The place boasts a bourbon emphasis, but I found the wine and beer selections to be lackluster. At the end of the exercise the bill for four people with two or three adult beverages each, plus tax and tip, was a little under $300. Overall it was a decent experience but not sure if I would be inclined to repeat it at that price point.

I was about to order off the menu when the barmaid said they had 2 specials that day. I ordered the special of fetticini Alfredo with chicken. It was not very good -- some of the feticini wasn't fully cooked, the Alfredo sauce was a blob on one side of the plate, it was over garliced, and the chicken was in small cubes. Seemed like the special was intended to get rid of leftovers. To add insult to injury, the "special" cost more than virtualy anything else on the regular menu. I may go again, but I'll order off the regular menu, and definitely beware of the specials.

I tried their (at the time) new hard seltzer, they were still working out the kinks, so it wasn't 100% something to love, but I would love to go back to try it again. The flavor was added with a syrup and the seltzer/syrup ratio wasn't great, but I'm sure that merely takes time. TLDR: I'll be back to try it again...when I have more time to try other options, too.

You should be ashamed, sir, wearing your "RJ" embroidered shirt and completely ignoring your customers. Does that stand for "Ripoff joint"? After sitting for 15 minutes with empty plates and empty drinks I went up to the bar to try to pay and was told to sit back down. I didn't, and I never will again.

I don't eat them so I had to take the time to pick it off my food before I could eat.
