I wanted to go because of its history in Cincinnati. I felt like I stepped back in time. I ordered a burger $18 and a bowl of chili. The burger was legit small. It was good but very small. For $18 I want a huge burger. The food is good. The atmosphere is good. The prices will keep me away.

The food was unique and very good. Their Old Fashioned is the best ive had in Cincinnati, and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. The outdoor area will be the only place I go to enjoy everything they have to offer, as there is a stage for live performances. The staff are all polite and helpful. This will be one of my new favorite spots

Love this place on certain Sat nights when Moonshine Drive, (a GREAT Blue Grass group), is there. They play out in the large sheltered patio area. The first time we went for dinner to hear the group, the food was decent. This time, it was over an hour before we learned they lost our ticket, then when we finally got our meals, only the salad was better than mediocre. If Moonshine Drive hadn’t been playing, we would have left. The only reason I would consider making the trip again is to enjoy the music. Maybe if the owner had been there, food and service might have been better. We’ll see. In the meantime, you’d better hang on to Moonshine Drive!

Stopped to have a drink and dinner on our way to Louisville. Met a couple regulars that shared the history of the bar which was the main reason for the rating. Loved what they shared and the history of the pub. Our service was great and quick. Great options for a pub. The food and drinks we had were ok.

Arnold’s is a great place for good food and a cold beer. Our 6 person lunch party ate in the covered outdoor area reached by waking through the long bar. There was a piano player playing blues music which created a great atmosphere. Wait staff was attentive. Well worth the visit. We will be back when we’re in town.

There’s a reason this place has been around for so long. The food and drinks are phenomenal as well as the service. Sitting in the courtyard listening to live music was the perfect date night!

Arnold’s is the kind of place that reminds you why Cincinnati has soul. The moment I walked in, the staff set the tone — warm, dialed-in, and genuinely happy you’re there. You can tell they take pride in the place, and it shows in every interaction.
The food? First class, no notes. Every plate that came out felt like it belonged in an upscale spot, but without losing that historic, down-to-earth charm. It’s comfort and craft in the same bite.
And the venue… man, this place has an energy. Intimate without feeling cramped, full of character without trying too hard. The kind of vibe where conversation flows easy, the music sits just right, and you catch yourself thinking, yeah, this is exactly where I want to be tonight.
If you’re in Cincinnati and want a spot that nails hospitality, flavor, and atmosphere all at once, Arnold’s deserves your night.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an amazing time at Arnold’s, service was great, food was great, and the environment was awesome! The owner even gave us a tour of the restaurant highlighting the outdoor murals and art, historic photos, memorabilia, and pop culture trivia of the bar and restaurant. We can’t wait to go back again with friends and family!
