  A place I definitely need to swing by more often. Mimosas are delicious and their margarita tastes just like Bakersfield's! It's small, so be prepared for it be relatively crowded.

  This is a combined review of Wiseguy Lounge and Goodfellas Pizzeria because to me they are a great combo:
  
  Goodfellas Pizzeria: relative small space with stools along the wall for sitting - reminiscent of NYC pizzerias. Walking in the smell is the first thing you notice -amazing! I am from NY and it is hard to replicate NY style pizza, but this place comes close. Lots of different kinds of pizza and all the ingredients are fresh. This place is now in my top 2-3 pizza places in Cincinnati. I actually didn't spend much time down here (you can order food from the 2nd floor upstairs bar which is called:
  
  Wiseguy Lounge: towards the back of the pizzeria you will see stairs leading upstairs. Follow the signs up the narrow stairs and you will enter the Wiseguy Lounge. Similar size to the pizzeria. They have a few sofa chairs/love seat couches along the wall opposite the bar but get there early because there are only a few and they fill up (especially if you want to eat your pizza comfortably while enjoying drinks). Also have seating at the bar.
  
  Huge selection of bourbons (bar tender said they have 156 difference kinds) and they have a bourbon club - if you try 100 different kinds (including in mixed drinks) you get your name on a plaque on the wall. They also have a good selection of unique mixed drinks (think Japps, but they opened first).
  
  Overall had a great time and really enjoyed the pizza. But get here early if you want a seat.

  Yelp probably won't allow enough characters for me to give this place the review it really deserves.  
  
  Nestled in the heart of Mainstrasse Village above Goodfella's Pizza, this gem of a lounge is different from what anyone else is doing in this city.  There are over 140 different bourbons to choose from, so this place is basically Mecca for me.  Price ranges from $4-$70 from their bourbon selections, so they really offer something for everyone.  Not to mention, their craft cocktail list is beyond amazing.  Get an Old-Fashioned, a Boss-Manhattan, or a Seelbach... They will all change your life.
  
  I can't forget about their beyond amazing bar staff either.  Bill, Brendan, and Lou will quickly become your best friends on weekends, and truly care about their patrons.
  
  Then there's the pizza downstairs at Goodfellas... Let's just say since trying one of their New York style slices (which are bigger than a baby), I haven't been able to eat any other pizza since.  I'm completely hooked.
  
  Check this place out immediately!! You won't regret it!

  Craft beer, bourbon and pizza. Really, does it get any better? The Wiseguy Lounge is located above the Goodfelles pizzeria in Mainstrausse. You would likely never know it is there unless you happen to wonder in for a slice or someone has told you about it. Wiseguys definitely has  a lounge feel to it with a really nice bar and leather arm chairs, love seats and sofas to sit and relax in. The environment is very relaxed as it should be for a lounge, non pretentious and a refreshing change from your typical bar. They have an extensive bourbon selection, more than 100 choices, in all price ranges. You can drink good bourbon cheap or amazing bourbon that will leave your wallet wondering just what happened last night. They have a nice tap selection with multiple local and regional craft beers. If you get hungry you can walk right downstairs for a good slice of pie or you order a whole pie from the bar upstairs. Word of warning they are enormous so bring friends or come hungry. They have a really nice and new outdoor patio to enjoy a lovely evening outside. I don't live terribly close but have found myself here the last three weeks in a row, it will be a regular destination for me when i choose to go out for a quick drink.
