This is a neighborhood watering hole; if you come with an attitude, don't. Great cocktails in a dive bar space. Always has good music playing, and their red beans and rice every Monday has this New Orleans gal visiting regularly. I also love their 'spaghetti' menu--a mix of high life cocktails. Daddy Cole is my go-to read more

This bar a Racial atmosphere a vibe towards black ppl think twice and choose another bar in the area this is not the one if yu are black. Super bad experience with the bar tenders being bias an unprofessional towards me an othe ppl in our mostly domin black community read more

Small bar that's not great for big groups. This downtown bar has nice staff although they get busy easily with a few customers. The drinks were good and the location wasn't hard to get to. Overall not a bad bar, but I didn't enjoy how crowded it became with only a few groups of people. read more

Uncle Leo's - Dive Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

How fun is this dive bar? So much to look at all over the bar. One of the regulars hopped up and gave us his table as soon as we walked in the door, super kind. I can't wait to come back for a lobster roll on a Saturday. read more

St. Patrick's Day night. I walked in from a cold night, and my glasses immediately steamed up. I couldn't see anything clearly, so my gf led me back to a table. I stumbled to find a seat. I was not inebriated- just couldn't see through the fog on my lenses. Bartender refused to serve me. Refused to accept that I was not drunk. Not reasonable. Very judgmental and unfair. Uncool. read more

I was in town from Cleveland for a wedding and was walking around the neighborhood with friends. The heat became oppressive and we needed a nice cool and dark bar to hang out in. Uncle Leo's was perfect. read more

Very cool bar. They didn't miss a single detail. Owners are the bartenders and they are very friendly. Feels like you are back in the old western world but doesn't feel gimmicky. read more

Will never go back. The visual vibe was cool until you stood inside long enough to realize it smelled like a steamy portapotty. The male bartender was possibly the most stuck up rude unfriendly person I have ever interacted with. read more

I may be biased because I'm a chiefs fan but this place rocks. The owner is cool and friendly and are the regulars. I will be back to try the food and I really enjoyed the vibe! read more

Uncle Leo's - Leroy! - Dive Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My new favorite spot where I will be taking everyone. Stopped by with a group of friends after a late lunch near Findlay Market. Uncle Leos is a cozy spot that has all the character of a local dive bar, but makes the best dirty martinis I've ever had. They also offer a $3 "Moose" shot that changes daily. Bartenders are friendly, space is great, drinks are plentiful. Check it out when you have a chance ! read more

Owners are extremely prejudice, I am apart of the younger crowd and was judged right away by the bartenders. I am an above 25% tipper and the owner approached me several times aggressively. The owner of the bar stared me down the entire evening and made me extremely uncomfortable the entire time I was there. read more

Re-opened as Uncle Leo's and it's such a blast! Came for their opening last night and the place is so beautiful - warm pink light and vintage pieces covering the bar and walls. Beautiful bar with a limited selection for now but I'm sure it will grow. The bartenders currently offer 6 classic cocktails but can make anything you like. Think of it as an upscale dive bar. Extremely fun place to get a drink. read more

Awesome bar. Great atmosphere, people, vibe & bourbon selection. Bartenders are all super friendly and the owner is cool

Could not have been happier with the service and the personality of the proprietor. We had the best bean and pork soup and a lot of cool well prepared drinks! Try his Bloody Mary with house made mix (the horseradish makes it!) read more

Since stopping in for the first time two weeks ago, I have been to Uncle Leo's 4 times What a cozy spot that is a perfect escape from the cold. Well balanced cocktails, delicious warm apple cider (can add bourbon or rum!), beer and topo chico seltzers, shots of the day. What more could you ask for? I feel like I'm either in a ski lodge or my hipster Uncle's basement bar, and I never want to leave! read more

This is the best bar in Cincinnati! BUT I purchased a bag of Bugles..... And the owner followed me home singing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. He wouldn't stop singing it until he tucked me into bed and kissed my forehead. I'm very happy. The lobster rolls are good. read more

Do you need a new spot? Nothing too fancy? Riding a beautiful niche between comfortable pub and upscale dive bar? Look no further than Uncle Leo's. Good drinks, right next to Findlay market. No fancy frills or overpriced cocktails, it's a bar meant to be hung out at. It's relaxed. It's friendly. Great for when you need a break on a bar crawl or getting the night started on an easy note. read more

Bartender complained about my group coming into the bar and then added an extra $20 tip to our friends tab because they did not tip enough. read more

stumbled upon this place while walking around for blink. it seriously whips ass. great vibes with cool people. fantastic beer selection.

Uncle Leo's is my favorite spot to go to after work for a drink with my co-workers. The ambiance is perfect. It suits my style. He only works on Saturdays but Christian is the perfect bartender for this establishment. This place is a must go bar destination read more

Went there for the first time tonight with hopes of finding a fun new place. However, one of their bartenders was repeatedly rude to us and even felt the need to add a $20 tip to a friends beer receipt because he felt he was not tipped enough for a single beer. Very disappointing experience and would never recommend to a friend. read more

Definitely not haunted, and the Pickled eggs are so good, you'll forget the giant moose of judgement on the wall is watching you, always. (His name is Gary Moosey) read more
