Great neighborhood bar, best food and drink value around. Excellent service. Good lunch and dinner with a kitchen open at least until 11pm. Best Wings for your money and great soup of the day too. Cheap beers, shots and cocktails. Three TVs, a Touch tunes music player a pinball machine, and one of those touch screen gaming consoles (photo hunt, etc). Also has an ATM and a cigarette machine. Within a block from Fountain Square and several hotels, so it's as welcoming for travelers passing through as it is for us local regulars.

Parmesan garlic wings are the best I have ever had. Forgot to take a picture they looked so good. I will be back soon. The meat was falling off the bone.

This is a nice bar. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into here to meet some friends that were already here. This bar has a couple TVs to watch football in, and there are a couple tables besides the main bar. The men’s bathroom here is quite small, having only one urinal and one toilet. When I was here I didn’t want a drink, so all I got was a water, which was pretty tasty. I gave this bar five stars because it has a nice atmosphere.

The wings were absolutely amazing, the meat fell right off the bone. The staff was very pleasant! Would highly recommend and will return if ever in Cincinnati again!!

Food was delicious. We tried Jamaican jerk chicken which was awesome, sweet and spicy with a kick. The burger was flame broiled and onion rings were beer battered. I highly recommend

This was my first time in Cincinnati and I'll be back every visit. Incredible food, great atmosphere, I was all about it. They have a great setup and it has a great authentic dive feel while being totally clean.

Nice bar that was busy but not overcrowded. The food was good and the wait wasn’t long at all for drinks. Not overpriced either

This is a friendly neighborhood bar. It seems to open early and close late. They have a kitchen that serves traditional bar fare. There are not any draft beer taps, but a better and average selection of canned/craft beer. There is a small outdoor patio out front with seating for smoking.

Great cinci dive. Atmosphere looks like it used to be a smoke/stripper lounge; it has that feel. I like that in a dive, but maybe not everyone. SERVICE WAS STELLAR: 5-stars to Ali; she ran the bar, handled the Bengal fans and kept service running without delay. And she made up for the kitchen… Kitchen: it was very meh, BUT there were some gold nuggets; list from best to worst: 1) you must try the wings. Fall off the bone good. 2) chicken rice soup full of flavor. 3) double decker club was served with plenty of meat, but no LTM as listed. Instead of making a new one, kitchen gave me a side of LTM to remake sandwich myself. 4) fries were foul. No seasoning, kinda soggy/no crisp, and they had a gross slightly gooey feel in the middle. 5) chili had some flavor, but there was some odd lumpy crunchy gross tasting thing in the bottom of bowl that left a bad flavor in mouth. Ugh. Was this the same kitchen that gave me those incredible wings? Despite the wobbly throw from the kitchen, Ali caught it and scored a touchdown. I’d def come back. It’s a downtown dive, you can’t expect Gordon Ramsey.

I stopped for drinks after dinner and am now convinced to eat there next time. The food looked awesome! The service was amazing and prices are fair. It's a great neighborhood dive bar where you can quietly sit and sip or get engaged in some great conversation.

I didn't have the food but I was there for drinks. Nice comfy bar.....my kinda bar. Why I am giving this high of a review is when we were there a customer was saying goodbye to the black haired female bartender and she accidentally dropped $200 on the floor. The bartender spotted this accident about 5 minutes after the customer left and chased her down on the street to return the money to the young lady who dropped it. Now that's customer service!!!!!! Great job Madonna's and especially the bartender!!!!

Cool atmosphere and quick service. Open until 2am but the kitchen shuts down early so no food if you are a late visitor.

I possibly the best bar burger I've ever had. My brother and I had different ones, he had the Black and Blu and I had the 7th and Vine that had a fried egg and a slice of Goetta, a sort of Cincinnati haggis.
