Such a cute, intimate spot. I loved the 90s aesthetic! The vibe was super chill and staff was great. Went on Caribbean night and the DJ had it bumping! Heard some jams I hadn't heard in over 20 years mixed with some newbies. Great night!
Enjoyed a Sunday evening sipping the "Nina" while just chilling and listening to old school R&B- initially overhead then a live DJ that made it much better. Quite a few ppl there but not crowded; more than likely due to the time I visited. The decor is chic with remnants of childhood memories with the wicker chairs in a couple of nooks at the entrance. There’s even a pay phone in the restroom (too bad it doesn’t work) but it’s cute aesthetic.
Hip lounge in OTR. Very chill vibe, including great music and art from classic 90s urban movies. They make and serve tasty cocktails pretty fast. Enjoyed a Saturday funday here their opening weekend and now a chill midweek happy hour (discounts 4-8pm). Long granite bar with leather chairs plus VIP / bottle service areas with comfortable couches and chairs and also good outside seating.
Watched bartender on the phone while me and my friends are waiting to order. Word of the day Multitasking is a bartender talent. We left and our tab now is $354.37 at a different bar. You could have at least acknowledged us while you were taking 15 minutes to make a hookah 😱😱😱😱😱👎👎👎👎👎 and answer your text messages!!!
Chill spot for some good music 🎶
I was visiting from Atlanta to celebrate my daughters’a 26th birthday and she suggested this bar. It was a very nice wind down spot with great music. I had two of the Nisi drinks and they were delicious! I would recommend this spot and can’t wait to go back on my next trip back to Cincinnati. I also love supporting Black owned businesses.
Hella coo Vibes! Great music. Had a good time on a Saturday night.
