Very classy and trendy cocktail bar. The drinks they serve here are elevated and expensive, but the quality of their cocktails is exceptional. I really enjoyed the ambiance.
The staff was super accommodating and attentive for our large group (with no reservation). We had a fantastic visit here. The restrooms are down a flight of stairs, though they may have an accessible way to get down there.
I can’t wait for a reason to come back here again!

Igby’s – The Pre-Game Cathedral of Cincinnati
If you’re rolling into a Cincinnati weekend looking for the perfect pre-drink spot, Igby’s is the move. This place nails the balance between upscale and effortlessly cool—the kind of bar where the bartenders don’t just pour drinks; they own the room. The swagger is real, the cocktails are on point, and the energy sets the tone for a proper night out.
Good music, dim lighting, and just the right crowd make it a spot where you can kick back with friends, get into the night’s groove, or wrap things up with a final round. If you’re out on a weekend in Cincy and not stopping by Igby’s, are you even doing it right?

I went to Igby’s for the first time on NYE. There was a disrespectful older man that wore a black ski mask at the door. I’m not sure what his role was at Igby’s, but he was extremely disrespectful. There were 3 men in the front of Igby’s door. They were bouncers. I showed my id to one of the bouncers at the door. He told me that I was good to go inside. The older man decided to yell “Go!” three times while I was at the door. He yelled profanities at me. I didn’t engage in any conversation with him. I looked at him in shock that he was so rude to me. He said disrespectful things all the way until I made it inside. Please view the cameras to see what occurred. I was treated horribly. Please stop hiring those types of people to with for your establishment. I enjoyed Igby’s once I was inside the building. The vibe was amazing. One bad guy ruined the moment in the beginning.

Nice place, service was great. Definitely gets busy around normal bar hours, and can get a bit cramped on the first floor.
The patio is quite large and spacious. The second and third floor reservable areas are perfect for small events and get-togethers.
Happy hour is great, and prices are otherwise reasonable.
Parking and access can be difficult depending on the time.

My first impression of Igby’s was great. My wife & I popped in here on Thursday night for some cocktails and were thoroughly blown away by the creative cocktails we tried there. The old-brick interior, dim lighting, and classy feel of the bar created a great atmosphere that is great for a date night or a few drinks with friends. Its location near Fountain Square makes it easy to walk to from much of the downtown area, and it’s close to several other bars and restaurants.

While I only stayed here for a few drinks, it is worth noting that this is a great establishment. The staff were very courteous and genuinely kind. The mixology drinks were fabulous.

Awesome spot for a happy hour drink! Cool space and vibe and friendly bartender. I had an old fashion made with Angels Envy bourbon and it was one of the best old fashions I’ve had at a bar. She was kind enough to add a cherry upon request!

Great late night place to stop for a drink. It does get really busy usually after 11pm. I wish they served food because I would definitely stay longer. But drinks are great and the atmosphere is awesome as well. Live music makes it a lot of fun with a good crowd of people.

As an LGBTQIA person of color, I recommend this place for everyone. Also as a former employee and someone whom has organized charity parties here I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a beautiful night out. It’s a 1 million dollar bar for the every man. Ask for Mike S. If you need anything good being and awesome staff!
