Up Over

I see quite a few decent reviews of here, but with three stars. Why? Here's your four from me, Up Over peeps.

Hey man, as far as I'm concerned, it is what it is. A small, divey, hole in the wall that doesn't serve food. Let me tell you, I'm in the mood for that sort of place from time to time (to time, to time..) Anymore, I prefer the extreme casualness of a spot like this, I mean do you really always feel like dressing up and impressing the crowd around you while you slurp down booze like a moonshiner's first day back from prison? Alas, I rant...

The bartenders are cool, the patrons are chill, and there's cool art hanging on the walls that's usually for sale. Finally, yes, it's smokey. As Lefty told Donnie after he rolled the window down, "you'll be alright".

This is one of my favorite bars in the Greater Cincinnati area. Not sure why- there's nothing special here. It's just a very chill bar for locals with a really friendly staff. Nice relaxed energy. No frills, no pool table, no crappy DJ. I could probably go in my sweats and no one would give a crap. Also, I don't trust a bartender that won't drink a shot with me. I trust these guys. And they'll feed em to you, too. My only compliant would be their limited selection of liquor. But honestly, I and my liver should probably be grateful.

A dive bar that's honest about being a dive bar.  No draft system, so expect to pay more for your beer.  That said, they do stock quality bottles of beer.  They also have a good selection of liquor, but don't expect top shelf.

They do have a really good jukebox.  Snacks are available, but seating is limited.
