Crowley's

Let me preface I am not a huge fan of Mt. Adams, i fact I usually try to avoid it until I found out about this place.

Like the others are saying this is probably the least pretentious bar in Mt. Adams. I have to hand it to the staff on this one. Although it might feel like the others, the service is well above.

Every time I have been here no matter what day or time it has been the same two guys behind the bar. One night when it was slow my friends and I asked a little about the history of this place and he gladly filled us in on this great little establishment. They were both young souls. They were cracking us up because they said "even though we are old we can still rap every word of this snoop dogg song!"

Leading into my next point, they have a GREAT jukebox with just about everything you could ever want to hear. I didn't have any cash and he opened up his drawer and gave me 5 bucks and said, "Go Wild." My friends and I played the craziest off the beaten path songs we could find and sure enough they knew every word!

How funny! I have a lot of great memories from this place and I hope it's around for a long long time.

Love this bar!!!

My brother was in town and we had some time to kill one afternoon in Mt Adams.  No lie...a church lady pointed us to Crowley's.  She told me that Catholics know how to drink and that after Holy week services people will head to Crowley's.  They had a good selection of Irish beers (including Guiness, Harp and even Smithwicks).  The drinks were reasonably priced, for Mt Adams anyway.  Upon first walking in, I had the sensation that this actually was an Irish pub.  Was it the green walls, the beer, or the music?  It was the vibe.  People were friendly and relaxed.  People said hello as I walked in.  Even the bartender seemed especially attentive.  I went to Ireland about 8 years ago, and what I remember the most was how friendly people were.  Pubs are a meeting place and a hub, not just a place to get sloppy (like so many bars in Mt Adams are).  Other Irish pubs in Cincinnati just seem like regular bars to me.  That isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't have the charm and nostalgia of Crowley's.
