Whether you are LGBTQ or not, this is a great place to pop in and spend a little time over a drink or two before or after a ball game. My partner Dennis and I have been coming here because it is laid back, drama free and has a great atmosphere.

Favorite place to dance and finish up a great night out. Drinks are well made and prices are fair. The show upstairs is an absolute hit, go if you have the chance!!

I had an awful day, but Chris, my bartender, was amazing (not to mention, easy on the eyes) and he quickly made me forget about the unfortunate day I had. The environment and music was great, and Chris' "specialty" drinks were magnificent. I'm happy I was able to get there.

Does a good job of fulfilling its niche. Definitely a gay bar, but open to the hetero crowd (which is me). Beer selection is less than stellar, but it's more of a liquor place and there are a ton of mixed drink options. Great bartenders. Upstairs has drag, comedy, and music shows.

Cute little place. I've been here a number of times, and personally have had nothing short of positive experiences. The vast majority of the bar staff is friendly and happy to help, and even when there's a large crowd the wait for drinks tends to err on the short side. Restrooms are clean and in good condition, and it's a good time without being rowdy or uncouth. Personally, I go for the drag shows at Cabaret (upstairs), but this review stands for the facilities both up and downstairs. **photos from upstairs at the Cabaret**

Below Zero is a very welcoming and fun place. Bartenders are friendly and experienced. They make a Fabulous cocktail! Great place to hang out and have a cocktail with friends or to dance the might away. They have Karaoke during Happy Hour on Wednesdays and Thursday nights. I would definitely say check it out.

I felt very welcomed it was my first time in a bar in Cincinnati and I was lucky to have been told about this place from a host at a local restaurant. Drinks are Strong and the Karaoke is amazing. It is a great place to make friends and family.

What is there NOT to like about Below Zero? That is unless you're a scared stiff homophobe... but even then... I've been here numerous times, with the girlfriends, with the gay friends, with the hubby, and each times its awesome. For those that are worried about it being a gay bar... seriously.. get with it. The people here are awesome! Especially the staff. They do really try to make sure you're enjoying yourself, or find a drink you like. With tons of vodka options, how can you really miss? They are known for their martinis and cosmos, both of which i happen to love! The atmosphere is definitely that of a lounge. it's relaxing and inviting, with plenty of space, or a cozy little corner. If you don't like GaGa or show tunes... you might not have a good time. There are music videos playing along with the music, thats definitely tunes you can dance to. There's an upstairs that has different types of shows going on all the time. But get there early as there's only enough space. This is a great place to have fun and dance, or to come and relax. Everyone I've ever gone with has enjoyed themselves, and the drinks!

First time impression was majority gay men. Lol drinks were good and strong. Had a good time 😊 doesn't get a 5 star review because the men's bathroom door doesn't close all the way. Literally got to see every man's everything. Weird.

Great music and atmosphere. Fantastic staff and strong drinks. Several security staff members so guests feel safe and comfortable...especially post Orlando Pulse 2016. Voted best dance club in the city several years running.
