What a great location to be at and relax. The bartender, Cassidy, was/is amazing!! She is on point with everything! I had the chili & the west side steakhouse Reuben (plant based) and they were both amazing! I definitely recommend them both. It’s a great place to come and relax. I highly recommend this location for anyone to come and just chill.

Quiet little burger joint with a beautiful view. The burger was juicy. The bartender didn't listen very well with the condiments, but I won't complain. The view was immaculate. The patrons there were nice and welcoming. I'll go again when I am on that side of town.

Get the famous Teddy burger! Yes it takes awhile to cook, get a drink & enjoy the incredible view! The wait is worth every second! Hangs down one of the best burgers I've ever had!

Delicious burgers and amazing view!! You can not get a burger this good anywhere for what they charge. It was very quiet when I came in but honestly I enjoyed it, it was relaxing. I see some people have had some negative things to say about some staff, but Silas was the only one working when I was there and he was very nice. I will definitely be back to try other burgers. Great meal and view for under $10.

Love a burger at City View! A great spot with a great view of the city. I most recently had the Cheddar Bacon Burger with A-1 Sauce and it was delicious! 😋 ** Pic is of the burger with lettuce, pickle, onion and mayo from a previous visit which was also yummy**

City View Tavern is a simple, no nonsense dive bar with a priceless view of downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Genuine bartender with short, honest answers that runs this place his way. The inside likely has not changed in decades. Park on the street or get a ride here. No parking lot. Put your favorite song on for $2. The outside seating area is not big, but we were able to quickly find a table on a Saturday night.
