I really loved bringing my partner out on a date while the sun was setting it was a really pretty view over the river. The food and drinks were alright, the same ingredients were in multiple foods so it all kind of tasted the same and the fish tacos were very watery/runny. I asked for more of the sauce that came with the fish but never got any. The cocktails could have had some more alcohol also. The scenery would be the reason Id go back. I tasted this places food at an event with the zoo and it was good thats why I came but I could try this place again.... The design of this place is ssssooooo pretty I loved it and the music is great also! Its a very pretty place I just wish the food and drinks were a little better.

Great place for a drink and a view of DT Cincy and the river valley. Bar food including burgers but we just had a beer at a nice Happy Hour price, $3 for a Guiness

Except for the overpriced food items, everything else was good. They have multiple decks, definitely sit on one of those to get the overview of lake and a portion of the skyline.

Great little historic place. Several floors and top outside patios over looking the Ohio with some great views. Service was great with local craft brews and cocktails. The food was good. Excellent place for networking. There is a small parking lot across the steeet. I recommend this place. You should check it out.

Spent a Monday night here for a friends birthday. Brooke, our waitress for part of the night, and Kerri, the bartender for the entire night, were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend coming in on a Monday night. Im sure other nights are just as good. Thank you Kerri and Brooke!

I went on a Friday night. Arrived around 6:30 and stayed till about 8:30. The Pavilion is cool inside and has an awesome deck in the back. The place was empty. If you’re looking for slow service and weak mixed drinks this is the place to go.

4 star because its a small place. Pretty okay ambience. It you are looking for a cheaper bar, this is the place. It you are up for dancing also, go to energy night club. If you don’t wanna pay entrance fee, this is your place.

The Pavilion is a cool place with sweeping views overlooking downtown Cincinnati.There are four different outdoor decks layered one on top of the other. Each floor plays a different style of music to cater to different tastes. I really love the design of this place!Popped in here for a quick drink + views and neither disappointed!

Great place to relax and party! The first floor is the dance floor on one side and the bar on the other. The second floor has a bar and some seating area - both, inside and outside. If youre looking for a great city view, the second and third floor is the place to be.We didnt go to the third floor but I am quite sure its great. The bar-tending was good - didnt order anything fancy, so not sure about the cocktail skills but they have a good collection of beer.

Its a nice dance club, it has no cover charge. A fun place to go dancing

This is a delightful bar tucked away in the Mt Adams hillside overlooking the city.The menu is atypical for a bar due to the variety of choices. Food is excellent and fairly priced for a bar.Service was very slow despite it not being crowded. The upper deck was closed so river views were non existent.Bathroom was clean but untidy.Parking is always an issue in Mt. Adams. There is a small parking garage down the street.

First things first, Thursday nights are when a lot of college students come here, it will be crowded and noisy.Now that’s out of the way, Mt. Adams Pavilion is one of the best bars in Cincinnati. Great drink selection and good service. Typically the first and second floors are open where there’s a bar on each and a dance floor on the first.I highly recommend going in the fall, spring, or summer when the weather is nice and sit on either of the two decks and take in the view of the city.Great bar overall, some drinks are overpriced but when you see the view you’ll understand.

Great atmosphere, beautiful ladies on the waitstaff, great live music on the summer weekends, with DJ battles during the week. Of course, all this attracts beautiful young ladies as customers.

Review №29

Went to a private party here. The view of the city was amazing and they have lots of outdoor seating. it was nice there were bathrooms just for our group. I would strongly advise against driving here. There is little parking available. We finally found on street parking but then when we were leaving, we had to navigate illegally parked cars that made passage very difficult. No fault of the bar but something you should know if you are headed here and arent familiar with the area.

We had my sisters bachelorette party here and we had SUCH a great time and everyone was so nice and accommodating!I worked with Laura Hughes from start to finish and she answered every question that I had RIGHT AWAY. She made me feel very comfortable with how the night would go. I live in Boston and was planning the party for my sister who lives in KY, so to feel that confident about how the night is going to go says a lot :) And everything was PERFECT!The bartenders were great, Danny was great, everything was great! The decorations looked adorable when we get there on Saturday night. They let us drop them off the night before and they set up all of our decorations for us so that when the bride came into the room everything was all set. We were all on a limo doing other things on Saturday, so this was huge for us! They used our diamond rings that we had as napkin holders for each place setting which I LOVED! It couldn’t have gone more perfect! We will definitely consider them for our next party (and I think everyone that was there that night will too!)10 stars! :)

Once upon a time, pavilion was the place where parties when till on till morning.Now, its just a place where bad DJs play in the last years of their career.We went as a group if 6 people on Saturday 10/06/2018. No cover, but everything was downhill from there. I would blame the DJ for that. He couldnt mix any songs and it was just a total nightmare. Sometimes, we felt that he is purposely doing so. He will stop popular songs and starts playing songs that noone ever heard.Super disappointment.

This nightclub has an amazing atmosphere and a great view of downtown. Dance floor is good, and there are tables and chairs outside to sit and have drinks with your buddies while enjoying the view at the same time.

Review №38

Just like all of Mount Adams this place is for elitist and the Porsche driving regulars. From the dress code to the shady hustle of cover charges me and my group of friends are always treated like dirt here because we don’t fall into those categories. Customer service is not their top priority and for that after giving this place a few different opportunities to change our minds we will never be returning to mount Adams or the pavilion again and we’ll be sure to spread the word

Im sure this place could be really good. It came highly recommended but I wasnt too impressed with it. The food was ok and the drinks were similar. The service was a little slow. I may have just been there on a bad day.

Really tasty bar food, with a fairly long happy hour. Not a ton of variety on the menu, but pretty much anything on it is good. The view from the outside seating area is one of the better ones on Mt. Adams.

Review №46

About 10 years ago, I spent almost every weekend here and plenty of New Years celebrations. This used to be the place to go and still has a lot of potential to be a nice spot for an older, more relaxed crowd to dance and have fun. However, Dj needs to learn how to leave the song for more than 30 seconds. It makes it impossible to enjoy a dance and transitions were horrible. I should be able to dance from one song to another without missing a beat. Around 10:45, I mentioned this to the DJ (not polite) and the bar and the response was its still early. Sorry, but Ive been paying for drinks since 7:30 and thats no reason to perform poorly. The manager was nice and explained that the DJ was newer. You have the Banks and OTR to compete with, though. Get it together. Because the rest of the staff was polite, Ill be back and I hope DJ takes a lesson, or a hike.

This bar is absolutely trash if you google bars that are 18+ its the 3rd option my 19 year old girl friend who was my DD for my birthday wasnt permitted inside so needless to say they ruined my birthday party that I had 20 people going to. Of those people I heard nothing but bad reviews because the place is poorly lit and vented so it reaks of BO from all the fat chicks and arabs that were in there my suggestion is to go damn near anywhere else theres better locations in the same area with cheaper alcohol to

Amazing views and a place that has been known in Mt Adams for those. Have to be careful on times/days you go due to heavy traffic and wait times for drinks.

5 stars if you like to be charged to walk through a door, judged by what you wear, hang out with teenagers, listen to awful music way too loud, and overpay for weak drinks
