    As a part of my Sperm Donation World Tour of the USA, my last stop of the night was here mainly due to my AirBnb being a part of the building loved the photogenic dim lighy red lighting decor.

    Uncle Leo’s isn’t just a bar. It’s a second home and one of our favorite places on earth. This has been my fiance and I’s go-to spot for years and the automatic answer when friends or family ask where to grab a drink and relax. Whether we’re stopping in for “one” or settling in for the night, we always leave with full hearts and big smiles. The food is delicious. Leroy’s lobster roll is unmatched and honestly a non-negotiable order every single Saturday. Nothing else even comes close. The real magic here is the people. The staff feels like family, set the tone, and the bar somehow turns total strangers into regulars and regulars into friends. We’ve made memories here we’ll talk about forever. The vibe is calming, eclectic, and perfectly Uncle Leo’s. Stay for the drinks, the laughs, and absolutely check out the iconic Live Laugh Love bathrooms. This place means more to us than we can put into words. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Always recommend. Always will. 💙

    Uncle Leo’s is one of those rare neighborhood bars that gets everything right. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, the drinks are solid and fairly priced, and the staff actually remembers you — which says a lot. It’s the kind of place you can pop into for one drink and end up staying all night because the energy is just that good. Whether you’re a regular or walking in for the first time, you’re treated like family. Great music, friendly faces, and a true Cincinnati dive-bar charm without feeling rundown or sketchy. If you’re looking for an authentic local spot with good people and zero pretense, Uncle Leo’s is it. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    I love uncle Leo’s! It’s a great place to unwind after work, or meet new friends. They have options with or without alcohol so you can find something there to enjoy! The food pop ups are tasty, and they are a staple in the market area. You can be a cowboy any day in this bar 🤠 but they have “saloon saturdays” where dressing in western gear is encouraged. Don’t let the country facade scare you, this is a safe space for everyone. The bartenders are awesome at de-escalation and will make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable in the bar.

    Update 3: Yee-haw yummy, Lobster Rolls in my tummy (Saturdays only, the earlier, the better because it's a good price and they might sell out). Update 2: It's a great place to weekend funday. They alsohave a few no / low booze options. Update 1: Still my go-to (for 2yrs). Now open 7 days a week. Always a good time. Super cool bar to chill at near Findlay Market. Awesome bartenders, great drink specials and fun vintage wall art. Lots of yummy snacks plus food specials like lobster rolls on Saloon Saturdays (country / western themed), sloppy joes on Sundays and guest chef food pop-ups (like oysters and gourmet sandwiches). They have two TVs, a solid music playlist, and shaded sidewalk seating.
