Miss bonnie the karaoke girl but will is doing an ok job.Hope the place hangs around in this side of town for a while more

It's a fusion bar! 3/30/2005

Good ol' boy combined with gay ol' boy to make the best bar in the world! It's a total hole-in-the-wall (though quite clean I must add), out-of-the-way dive bar complete with juke box, pool table, TVs, race car video game, cheap drinks, and permanent fixture clients. HOWEVER, what seperates this dive bar from all others is that it is FABULOUS! The walls are all painted a lovely purple color, there is a small stage and dance floor opposite the pool table, the juke box is full of your favorite divas from yesterday and today, and they go ALL OUT for holiday decor! It is quite simply the best bar I have ever been to. Amen. Pros: FABULOUS!, economical, fun, fun, fun Cons: small, bit too small, does size matter? more

It's Like paintin' up an Old Drag Queen 12/8/2002

Under New Management? Looks like Old Old Management, And a new coat of paint. The place hasn't changed since the late 60's. Guess if I was new in town, or just got off the bus it would be ok.. for a minute. Pros: Keith the Bartender, Two Pool Tables, Draft Beer Cons: Parking, Younger Crowd, New Entertainment more

Customer questions bar's rating 9/28/2002

There is quite a bit of work to be done in the men's restroom(and maybe the woman's too). There also needs to be some type of system to releive the stuffiness in the upstairs pool room. Brighten up the place by doing some repair work to the main room and using decorations(memorobilia, pictures, collectibles, etc...). You guys do have good prices on drinks, friendly bar tenders and a great owner. I also like the fish tanks. You guys can make this a place to go instead of a place to be. Pros: inexpensive, great location, friendly staff Cons: semi-poor condition, stuffy upstairs more

Great neighborhood bar 9/26/2002

Since new management has taken control, the bar has undergone a facelift. New lighting, bar stools and a fresh coat of paint has turned the Lions into a very comfortable place to hang out. Management ephasizes a "no attitude" policy that allows everyone to have a good time without any hassle. The sound system and Juke-box are maintained at a level that allows for conversation as well as musical enjoyment. Every other Friday there are shows that are among the best in Cincinnati. All told, one of the best bars in town. P.S. The bathrooms have been completely refurbished and are almost too nice to use. more

what a mess 7/19/2002

Unimpressive crowd, weak drinks and dank surroundings make this place worth skipping. Just another dive in this city's pathetic offering of gay bars. Cons: atmosphere, crowd, drinks more

  • In Short
    In the heart of the Gaslight District, expect plenty of aging hippies, college students, Gen X-ers and other free-thinking and freedom loving folks. Enjoy their daily happy hour, plus daily drink specials. That should fuel you up to hit the dance floor or mellow out watching the big screen TVs. There are choices galore at the jukebox, and on weekends the DJ booth comes alive with music for drag show and dancing.
