This is about the best place to catch original live music in Cincinnati. Â
The place is a hole in the wall so be prepared. Â
Cheap drinks. Â Awesome Bartenders. Â Awesome patio. Â Awesome music.
What really makes this place besides what I've just mentioned is the people that come here. Â It's a diverse group but really some of the nicest people you could meet. Â You'll never be a stranger here.
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!
This place maybe the epitome of a dingy dive bar but honestly where else can you go and get a $2 beer on a Friday or Saturday. The drinks are always cheap and staff are friendly. A lot of times there is live local music and as long as you get there a little earlier on those nights there isn't cover.
This place definitely isn't for everyone, but if you are willing to accept the laid back atmosphere and enjoy reasonably priced drinks you will enjoy yourself.
Ahh Stanleys. Living in Columbia Tusculum, Stanley's is my go-to place for an after work drink. While it is partly for the convenience of being within walking distance of my apartment, I really do love the charm of Stanley's. It is definitely a dive bar, with cheap drinks, a cozy atmosphere, a low-key vibe and an eclectic crowd. The bartenders are great and there's a great patio out back. There's also live music pretty frequently, with both local and out of town bands. There is usually a cover with the bands, which I'm not always a fan of, but if you're into live music it's a great spot to catch a show. Definitely worth a visit for the experience...and some cheap drinks!
Review Source:I ventured here on Sunday to see my friend's band play. They travelled all the way from Minneapolis - so I definitely give props to Stanley's for bringing in out of town bands. The place itself was low key, small, cozy with cheap drinks. They had $5 pitchers of PBR and I always take this as some sort of personal compliment to my homeland - PBR, the featured Wisconsin beer!! Love it.
Anyway, my one and only complaint is that they allow SMOKING in the bar. This was such a disappointment. I hate smelling like smoke the next morning and was looking forward to experiencing a smoke-free evening in Ohio, seeing as the state IS smoke-free.
For some reason I hate paying a cover charge when visiting this tiny music venue in Columbia Tusculum, even if it is going towards gas money for the numerous jam bands they bring in from surrounding cities. Stanley's is probably one of the best places to spot nappy dreadlocks on white boys, jam out to the latest hippy rock and cram a lot of warm bodies into one small spot. The view of the small stage area is blocked in many places by support beams but the place is filled with friendly people and the courtyard is large and welcoming. In the winter they put up a 10' x 20' shelter with a propane heater for smokers to huddle around.
