  It;s a dive bar... one of the best. To keep it short, if you don't like dive bars, you shouldn't go.... or should you?

  Reasons to love Muz's:
  
  1. Cheap Drinks
  2. Black Mold (Supposedly)
  3. Men's Restroom: No handle on the sink
  4. Women's Restroom: Water is consistently running
  5. Lemongrass and Basil soap in the Men's restroom
  6. Darts
  7. Its dark, really dark
  8. $2 PBR's
  
  Muz's should not get 4 stars but yet it does because Muz's is Muz and its the type of bar that you want to hate but ironically you love it.

  I moved from out of town and Muz's was one of the first places where I could meet and talk to real people from the area. The regulars and the bartenders were an instant connection to genuine locals, not like going to Friday's.  The other bars on Mt Lookout Square are impersonal meat markets, pretty much.  Muz's has regulars who know each other and are glad to befriend someone new.  The jukebox is great.  The beer is good enough.

  This is the best kind of bar... small, dark and a great place to take over the jukebox.  A decent selection of music and not the place to go if you want fancy drinks.  It can get crowded real fast, but everyone was friendly which made it a better experience.  This is your quintessential neighborhood bar.

  Dark, small, and a little depressing. But hey, if you're going to Muz's, maybe that's what you're looking for. Located in a dark corner on the edge of Mt.Lookout, Muz's has a gloomy interior with a few high tables and a bar. It's never been full to capacity when I've been in there, but that is unsurprising. There is normally only one person working the bar, but with the limited amount of people this isn't too much of a problem, unless they get distracted by talking to the other patrons.
       One of their "charming quirks" is the free popcorn they serve from a machine that looks as if it was bought second hand a long long time ago. I can't imagine wanting any, even after a few drinks, but people seem to love it and are always munching away when I'm there.
      The reason I gave Muz's two stars instead of one is that it's not trying to pretend to be anything it isn't. It knows it's a dive bar and sometimes, that's just what people are looking for.

  So I was pretty stoked to find a quaint little dive so close to my house. Not to mention the best juke box in town. Bad news is that I was there the other night with a bunch of friends snacking on their complimentary popcorn to find out that they have a very large roach infestation...I mean these roaches were not small and they were everywhere. This bar has a lot of potential however I sadly won't be going back anytime soon...

  I am going to have to agree with Ty. However, this is now my favorite dive in the Cincinnati. I could see myself going here more often. Though I live closer to other dive bars, they all try to be dive bars. Where as Muz's is a dive bar and they are not trying.

  You want a hole in the wall bar with cheap drinks and cock eyed bartenders?  This is your spot.
  
  Cheap beers, cheap liquor, 5-10 TVs, locals, darts, (golden tee?) and a dark ambiance.  
  
  Great starting point for a bar night on Mt. Lookout square.  Drink some whiskey, pound some high lifes and get the hell out before you catch tetanus or swine flu.
