Its a bar. You want a drink, they have them. Their prices are beyond fair. Staff is attentive.
Atmosphere, its a small town bar. Full of regulars and occasionally their friends or people who heard about it.
Only downside would be the smell/smoke. We have all been to smokey bars . . . this goes beyond just smelling like a cigarette or two . . .
It's a bar, you go there to get drunk . . .
I love this place. Â They allow smoking, they have good drink selections, and it's a great neighborhood bar. Â The staff are all nice people, and there is rarely anyone there who isn't friendly. Â It's always a good time unless that dude with the guitar is killing you with cover songs. Â I will be back.
Review Source:my favorite watering hole! not for the water of course but for the patrons and bartenders. Bellevue is my hometown and I have met many old friends as well as their kids while polishing the copper bar top. The environment fosters meeting some very interesting people from so many walks. It's as easy to find good conversation of the arts as well as sports. If you can't find a beer or a bourbon you like you're probably in the wrong place. it's not fair to complain about smoke in a bar but something should be done besides opening the doors in the morning!
Review Source:The B List is an extraordinary bar where all walks of life can be found intermingling and having a great time. It is the quintessential neighborhood bar, and the beer selection is one of the best in the city.
I would recommend venturing to the B List during Happy Hour, which is 4pm to 8pm M-F & Noon to 8pm S&S. Happy Hour at the B List is the perfect place to unwind from a stressful day, catch up with friends, or meet new and interesting characters.
As for price, you cannot beat the B List. $2 domestics, $3-$5 imports, $3 wells, and both the call & top shelf liquor is very reasonable.
The B List also just recently added a patio to it's seating selection, and although it is small it is a nice place to soak up the spring, summer, and fall sun.
The only reason this bar gets a 4 star instead of a 5 is because it can be very smoky at times. I am a smoker, and sometimes if it is too crowded even I can get a little overwhelmed.
You're not going to hear the charming rattle of a cocktail shaker here. Â You're not going to be driven deaf by the relentless drive of a techno-beat. Â The place has been fully fumigated of hipsters and jackasses.
Look, if you're from anywhere outside of Bellevue there's probably no reason for you to come. Â
Remember Martini's from "It's a wonderful Life". Â This is that place. Â You can almost hear Nick say "Hey look, mister. We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere". Is that clear, or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer?"
There's a bar. Â There's a TV. Â There are tables. Â It's a place in the neighborhood for folks to meet up for a beer, escape the wife (or husband) and the kids. Â Don't ask for any of those b.s cocktails that I love. Â Have a beer or a highball (rum & coke or G&T).
Drown your sorrows, lose your frustrations, laugh with a friend. Â This is what this bar is for.
The B-List is consistently a fun place to meet friends. The bar has a good selection of beer on tap which you'll need if you partake in the complimentary buckets of peanuts! The clientele are generally welcoming and easy to get along with. The 4 legged furry clientele are the best though! Dogs are welcome in the bar and make for good entertainment if the game that's on the TVs isn't going so well.
The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because the smoke is almost unreasonable after midnight on the weekends. Be sure to stock up on Febreeze if you plan to stay late on the weekend because your coat is going to need a good spraying afterward!
The B list is a great bar in a weird neighborhood. I say weird because the mix of clientele can range from your average normal 20somethings, to people having high school reunions, to shirtless hillbillies, to NKU art hipsters, to crazy old coots. It just depends on the day of the week.
They have a great draft beer selection, an excellent jukebox (the black keys, sharon jones, broken bells, elvis costello, etc) which they update every now and again and a pool table, wii, and golden tee.
The space is a perfect size for a bar, has direcTV and feels very cozy with a nice wooden bar and tin copper tabletops. Unfortunately because of its cozy size and kentucky's laws allowing smoking, youll come out of there smelling a bit smoky, depending on how crowded it is. I've always felt the bartenders were very nice to me, but i've seen them get into it with some of the redder necks in the room.
The thing keeping me from giving it 4 or even 5 stars is the inconsistency of what the B list is gonna be like on any given night. I know its not their fault, but i've gone in there on a friday night and had a great lively time, i've been there and the vibe has been just a bit too intense and i've also been there and it's been completely empty.
The B list is definitely someplace to check out if you're in the neighborhood, and you could definitely spend an entire fun evening there, but just be prepared to have one beer and go to the backup plan if the mood doesnt suit you on that particular night. i'll say 3.5 stars.
Very cool little dive bar just a few blocks away from Route 8. The bar staff is friendly and attentive, drinks reasonably priced, and the jukebox just plain rocks! I can't think of any other bar in Northern Kentucky where I can find Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Curtis Mayfield, Raconteurs, Spoon, Vampire Weekend, and other cool music that kept me pumping the machine full with dollar bills.
While I think the B-List is definitely a bar that has a regular clientele, new faces are more than welcome. At least that's how I felt.
The B-list is my quintessential neighborhood bar. Nestled up to shotgun houses a few blocks from Bellevue's main strip, it's just a couple of blocks from me. this actually explains a lot about why I've only been there a few times. It's dog friendly but not far enough to warrant the trip on foot, after all my pup is not only a little too young and jumpy to handle the noisy patrons but three blocks is barely a warm up for his energy level. Regardless it wonderful to know that of a handful of dog friendly bars in the area, one is right down the street.
On the few occasions I've been there I've noticed that the crowd and bar tenders are not only genuinely friendly but  aside from the lack of comfortable seating I feel welcome there. The beer prices are reasonable and if it's a slow evening and your bored there is usually one or two regulars with one too many drinks in them willing to fill your ears with whatever they feel like speaking. Be careful wandering home on foot. I've heard rumors in the past of local law enforcement issuing tickets for public intoxication. Hit up the juke box while your there, it's a pleaser for almost everyone.
