Reviews
City View Tavern is a simple, no nonsense dive bar with a priceless view of downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Genuine bartender with short, honest answers that runs this place his way. The inside likely has not changed in decades. Park on the street or get a ride here. No parking lot. Put your favorite song on for $2. The outside seating area is not big, but we were able to quickly find a table on a Saturday night.
Love a burger at City View! A great spot with a great view of the city. I most recently had the Cheddar Bacon Burger with A-1 Sauce and it was delicious! 😋 ** Pic is of the burger with lettuce, pickle, onion and mayo from a previous visit which was also yummy**
The view, of course! I think this rating was based partially on nostalgia, too. My husband worked here in college (in the 90s!) & I loved coming here to celebrate the Reds & Bengals. I’d argue the burgers are still the best in town. It was pleasantly crowded, not packed; easy to place/get our order. Bathroom is still terrible :)
Love this place! view is great, atmosphere is just perfect, and food always hits the spot. Philly burger is my favorite! Service is awesome and I always leave very happy. Drinks are served quickly, food takes a bit but is always worth it. Have to visit everytime I come downtown!
Visiting for the weekend we stopped in to share this longstanding cincy spot w my parents. We were saddened to see the state it was in. …
Great lil tavern with excellent burgers & amazing view of Cincinnati!
Delicious burgers and amazing view!! You can not get a burger this good anywhere for what they charge. It was very quiet when I came in but honestly I enjoyed it, it was relaxing. I see some people have had some negative things to say about …
SIX stars.
Exceptional value for the burger and local beer, especially considering the location. …
Interesting story. I love this place. It’s a must see place every time I go to Mt Adams. So I was super excited to visit this past weekend. I was surprised to see they added food so I was curious what they had. I picked up a menu to check …
The burgers were delicious and obviously real. Cooked to rhe best perfection. The bartender, who also functions as the cook, was very nice. The views of Downtown and NkY were amszing.
