We happened upon this place while in the area for the Van Gogh experience. Everything about this joint was amazing, from the atmosphere to the service to the food.
We started with a round of beers, as one is wont to do while traveling. They had a few local beers on tap, which were really good. If you like onion rings, you should definitely get these. They were hot and crispy and delicious. All three of the empanadas were really good and we would have been happy with just more of those for our meal.
We decided to just share a couple of chicken tender baskets with our appetizers. I don't think I can accurately describe how surprisingly large the chicken tenders were, but the 3 of us would have been fine with one order. They were very large, but they were still cooked to perfection.
Anyway, if you're debating about it, you should just go check this place out.
The bar tender and staff were very friendly. We enjoyed talking to them and hearing their stories. The bar is interesting because there are 2 bars in one giant elongated room. The back bar is The Blind Pig and draws a younger crowd. It has a great outdoor area with a beautiful view of Cincinnati. The front bar, O'Malley's is an Irish pub and draws an older crowd.
Quite an adventure to find the namesake alley door for this place. Amazing facade makes this look comical but long space inside. Bartender was super friendly and food came out fast, and plenty of it!
Best pub in downtown Cincinnati. A great place to drink, eat and watch sports on several TVs. Fast service, good food for lunch and dinner.
Great bartenders make it popular with locals as well as travelers looking for a friendly, welcoming place to unwind. Happy hour and daily specials are pretty cheap.
They have good beer on tap, seltzers and a few wines plus a TouchTunes jukebox.
A legit dive bar. Finally! Great place to catch the Bengals game. We went for Monday night football and it was great. Eat before you go. There’s no food… Who cares. It’s a great bar.
First time there!!! We came up for Cincinnati/ Bills game but wanted to catch the Dallas/ Philly game. Great atmosphere for us Eagles fans and amazing gameday food!!!! Thanks Mark for letting us know it was an Eagles bar lol!!! Go Birds🦅🦅🦅!!! If your ever in town Omally’s is the best Eagles bar in town!!!
Cute place that connects to another bar. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are higher, but what I would expect for the area. 2 shots and a beer were $17. They do not serve food, but its nice that the actually stay open late. We got into town late and everything in the area closes before 9/10 pm.
Great funky spot with full bar and great beer selection. There are two bars, one near the alley and another overlooking 3rd. A large patio allows great views of the stadium.
You can also enter the bar from 3rd on the stairs next to Lola's Coffee (see photo)
Wifi available. Street and lot parking nearby.
Helluva bar! Was in town for the Bengals Bills game. Everyone was nice to me even though I was wearing enemy colors. Next time I find myself in Cincy, O'Malleys in the Alley is top of the list!
Reasonable drink prices. I liked the draft choices. Touchtunes music system. Chill vibe for after a show or other events.
