What People Are Saying
“This is a nice little neighborhood dive bar. The service was great and the hamburgers were excellent. The view from the patio really makes the place special. I recommend when in the area.”
“This is a burger place with outdoor seating overlooking downtown. Not super fancy but fine! Staff are super friendly and my build your own burger was tasty. We had no trouble parking on the street.”
“Absolutely, positively the best place to grab a burger and a beer in Cincinnati. (Or other beverage…full bar and/or soft drinks). The burgers are DELICIOUS! There is a wide variety of types, styles of burgers including custom made. The vibe is cool and laid back. The view of Cinncinnat, Ohio River and Northern Kentucky is SPECTACULAR! (Thus the name.) Do not pass this by!”
