Cock & Bull Public House - Hyde Park

No Longer In Business

Had dinner here last night with friends, and it’s somehow the first time we made it here after going to Arthur’s and Teller’s a hundred times each. The tap list is surprisingly robust and really good, with 60 offerings and a ton of variety, with a few really neat surprises. Sample trays are $8 for any four beers. That’s cool. There aren’t many bottles, and the ones they have are weak, so the emphasis here is all on the drafts. The food is good, maybe slightly above average pub fare. Good fries. Fish was overrated, though. Service was slow, but I liked our waiter. The dining space around the bar isn’t huge, but there’s a big front patio and small back patio. Overall, this place offered a lot more than I expected. Glad we finally came here. I’ll be back.

Lots of taps with a better selection than Covington. Less than attentive bar-tending. Did not eat there.

Stopped here twice in my 12 hours in Cinci, once for lunch then again for after dinner drinks (and because my friend forgot his CC from lunch) Large tap list, more than 40 as advertised here, with some regional favorites though nothing rare as far as I saw. On street parking near the square of Hyde Park, food is slightly expensive as are drinks, though I find a 4 beer sampler for 8 dollars to be reasonable. Decent english themed pub even if it is just an excuse to have a nice outdoor patio.

Great tap room and fantastic food

Can be fun to enjoy some craft beers on the patio during a nice night. Very big selection of craft beer, with some harder-to-find local stuff. But yes, prices are outrageous on some of the more premium stuff, and I’ve gotten an attitude (that snarky subtle kind) from the servers before. I and others I know have experienced slow service at the bar, as well. Edit: On my last visit here, they served a Weizenbock in a 10oz snifter, which I’ve never seen before. And then they served an Abbey Tripel in a 20oz imperial pint glass, which I’ve also never seen before. Maybe I’ve got the wrong idea, but that seems really strange to me. Despite everything I dislike about this place, the rare beers keep drawing me back... At least once a month there is bound to be something available that I haven’t had before Edit 2: There are prices on the menu for 10oz / 16oz / 20oz. It’s worth mentioning that if you ask for "a pint" they will default to the 20oz.

Stepped in with Drsilverworm last weekend as it was his prime recommendation in the Hyde Park area and I badly needed a drink. Tap list was quite surprisingly big; they had Three Floyds and other harder-to-find Midwestern choices ready to be served in the appropriate glassware, but I had to ask the prices of the beer I wanted as the menu I remembered did not catalog what each pour would cost. That being said, the bartender was attentive, cute and friendly and the food was good, not great, and not exactly worth the money paid for it, but it was a fine place to grab a bite and a drink midday afternoon in Hyde Park.

Decent pub in Hyde Park. They’ve got a pretty extensive draft selection, but it’s WAY overpriced (even for Hyde Park). Went to a special CBS tapping and it was something like $11 or $12 for a 10 oz snifter that was only filled 2/3 of the way. Service is average (at best). Food is good though. I’ll be back for more meals and a decent beer or two, but no more special tappings - they’re price gougers.
