Stanley's Pub

This is about the best place to catch original live music in Cincinnati.  

The place is a hole in the wall so be prepared.  

Cheap drinks.  Awesome Bartenders.  Awesome patio.  Awesome music.

What really makes this place besides what I've just mentioned is the people that come here.  It's a diverse group but really some of the nicest people you could meet.  You'll never be a stranger here.

Nice friendly dive.

Came here for a reggae concert. I'm not a huge reggae fan (I'm like, sure, I can dance to reggae and it's fun, but not more than that). However, it seemed like the people who know about reggae thought that $12 for 5 different bands was a really reasonable price.

The outdoor patio is great! Just such an easy going vibe about it, very relaxing! The indoor was nice because of the air conditioning but otherwise not special at all. In fact, I'm really not very likely to come here just for a drink inside because it felt a pretty dirty - a typical dive bar I guess.

Would definitely come back if there would be another outdoor concert evening of a genre I like. Otherwise, I'll leave the dive bars to the real dive bar fans!
