We went midday with no one in here and it was great. The prices for the drinks are much better than what I pay at home. The bartender could have been more sociable but she was preparing for the rush hour I assume. There is plenty of seating and the heat on the outdoor patio works very well.
Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time

We absolutely love this location! This was our second or third visit, and even as out-of-towners, we always make time to stop here. No matter which Goodfellas pizzeria we visit, the pizza is always delicious, fresh, and astonishingly yummy.

The staff at this location is fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to chat about spirits, which we really enjoy. During our last visit, the bar staff introduced us to a smoky bourbon that I absolutely loved, and my partner enjoys that we can get bottle pours from the Kentucky location. It’s little touches like that that make this place special.

The venue itself is adorable. Downstairs, the pizza parlor has a classic New York–style vintage pizzeria vibe, while upstairs offers a low-key speakeasy feel with 1920s–40s mobster vibes. The spirit selection is impressive, ranging from high-end bourbons to everyday spirits, with beer and wine options as well. They also craft some very well-made cocktails.

All in all, we absolutely love this location—the staff, the pizza, the spirits, and the overall atmosphere make it a standout.

I have been here several times on different occasions to either eat pizza downstairs or drink upstairs. Yesterday I did both. The food and drinks were delicious and the bartenders were attentive. I got the Dirty Smash cocktail which was so good and such a good value. My boyfriend was drinking old fashions and really enjoyed his drinks also. They also did a good job with social distancing and keeping everyone apart. Awesome experience!

If you’re chasing whiskey and great pizza, this is a must stop for both!

Where the hell do I begin. For those who aren’t from Cincinatti, Wiseguy Lounge sits above Goodfellas Pizza. We went to the downtown Cincinatti and then the Covington KY locations. Each has their own unique things to love.

Here at the downtown Cinci location was an amazing night. We get there and go up the staircase to the lounge immediately gives a bit of anticipation. It opens up int o a nice sized eating area with probably a 20 seat bar a couple couches, some high tables and stairs to a 3rd floor with a little more seating.

When I tell you this bar has a lot of bottles, it has a lot of bottles. Their spirit book is probably at least a half inch thick. I’ve gotten into whiskey over the past 3 years so when it comes to chasing bottles and pours I’m still new to making it happen. But they definitely have just about everything you’re looking for. Maker’s wood finishing, 4 Roses single barrels, various Blantons, Elijah, Jim Beam specials bottles, it’s all there.

The bartender also was amazing, we gave him some examples of what we usually drink and he led us down a drinking path that was excellent. Now some pours are definitely pricey, others are in line with what to expect, and some surprised me by being less than I expected. But you’re there for the drink right? You don’t have spend a couple hundred to try some exceptional and hard to find whiskey. You can spend far less and still try some great bottles. But if you want an experience with bottles you only hear of in legend, can’t find no matter how hard you look, and some really good store picks, then this is the bar for you!

P.S. Try their 4 Roses pick, it was an OESK and phenomenal!! Definitely the best bottle i tried. 2nd went to their 1793 Full Proof store pick. I’m not a fan of 1792, I’ve tried all their stuff they regularly have on the shelf, and I now am going to chase other full proof store picks bc of their bottle!

This is hands down my favorite bar in the city, with the best bartenders around! The cocktails are consistently exceptional, but it’s the sense of community that truly sets this place apart. Wiseguys was one of the first places I visited after moving here from out of state, and Harrison was one of the first friendly faces I met. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and making amazing drinks, he also offered great local tips and made me feel genuinely welcomed both at the bar and in Cincinnati. He really went (and goes) above and beyond! Big shout out to Ellie, Brandon, and Stephen as well – sitting at Wiseguys and enjoying a couple of Sunkissed Sweethearts or espresso martinis with this crew is always a blast!

The best cocktails in the city!!! Hands down! If you are new to the city, and wanting some delicious pizza and WORLD CLASS cocktails, I definitely recommend coming here. The bartenders are artists and the prices are fair (similar prices to what you will find elsewhere in OTR ($9-13) but made with the freshest, in-house ingredients). Would give 10 stars if I could!!

Tight, vertical, and nostalgic. They can mix one hell of a cocktail. Busy bar and they pump out the drinks quickly. No table service, order at the bar (drinks and food). Take time to visit. You will not be disappointed.

Decor was nice. Service was slow. Really slow. Minimal customers so not sure why it takes so long to get a drink. They had many types of bourbon. I would recommend this place.
