This is a beat up, old dive bar with a gorgeous view of the river. There is a jukebox and foosball, so I’m happy enough. We were here on a Monday night and there were a total of 10 patrons milling around. The beer selection is very solid. I had some Breakfast stout and Two Hearted. the Two Hearted even tasted clean and fresh, to my surprise. I had a pizza which had really good crust and plenty of toppings. I’d come back here, especially for a late night hang out.

These guys have a remarkable on-tap selection plus a good bottle selection. As an "old guy," the noise level was very off-putting. I like conversation with my beer, something that wasn’t practical here. Too bad, because I’d like to try all the beers.

This place has so much potential... Unfulfilled potential. They have a TON of beers on tap, but never really have anything special...ever. And most importantly, THEY DON’T CLEAN THEIR LINES!!! Service is okay, but most employees don’t know anything about beer. What a bummer!

This place is similiar in style to the one in Indy. Open, kind of sport bar style with lots of beers on tap. Service is questionable; very dependent on who waits on you. Beer quality is also questionable; sometimes you can get a bad beer, whether from the tap or in bottle. Better beer management is needed.

Love going to this place when the night begins. I always try a new beer everytime I go. If you’re visiting the Cincinnati area... Defenitely a place you have to visit.

I really like this place. Tons of beers on tap and bottles. Atmosphere is great with a live band. Sits right on the river overlooking Cincinnati. Has an outdoor patio with a hooter right next door. Caught a ferry back from the reds game. Definitely a place you should try out.

I had a decent experience here. The bartender was this hot blonde who was really talkative/slutty, which i guess helped my situation. The taps look really nice, but i can see that some people have had really infected beers, probably because they dont rotate that often. however, i had Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgearld and it was fantastic! I love that beer! I would go back again if i was ever in the Cinci area.

I’ve been to this place twice. One time I was with friends and we had a grand old time while drinking cheap beer and getting down to some cover band playing old classics along with the other folks who danced the night away. That being said, DO NOT drink any decent beers here. The wall looks great lined with taps, but no one drinks anything besides macro lagers which leaves the good beers sitting and sitting and sitting. I’ve never tasted a more disgustingly oxidized and way past due beer. I took back two (different) beers in a row and choked down the third. The bartender, while nice, knew exactly what was going on with the stale oxidized beer and said they needed to change it and that the guy I ordered it from should have stopped me from getting it. Listen, if you are going to offer a ton of beers, make sure you’re moving them and not serving them to pour saps who come in ready to taste a good selection of quality beer.

Came here the first time I ever crossed the river to go out in Newport, and walked in to see a guy punch another guy in the back of the head, run off, and the punchee get arrested- sort of a "Welcome to Kentucky" moment. It sort of fit with the bar’s atmosphere- sloppy, despite any ambitions. It is, after all, a floating bar next to Hooter’s. There are a ton of taps but seldom anything surprising or great. Had food once as part of a party and it was terrible. Seeing Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA was a treat, and OTR is always nice, but I have to wonder how often these probably very long beer lines get cleaned.

Great place and typically a good crowd, but the service tends to suck and the good beer is rather expensive (i.e. a pitcher of DFH 90 Min was $28). I did not have the "liquid dust, mildew" issue, but I ordered Stone IPA and Dogfish Head 90 Min on draft and then switched to bottle beer, which they also have a good selection to choose from. The food is a let down unless you get the saratoga chips or the pizza. They offer a pretty good selection of cigars and also have a cigar night on Thursdays and Sundays.
