Village Tavern   

The Village Tavern is about as close to a certain famous fictitious bar as Cincinnati can get. Located in Old Montgomery, a quaint retail and restaurant district, the Village Tavern is a casual, neighborhood hangout packed with regulars who keep the place interesting. Darts or an acoustic band in the cozy downstairs bar usually pack in folks during the week and weekend nights. Upstairs, the place is intimate enough to carry on a conversation while enjoying the quality menu and sipping a few cold brews. Expect to see 20-, 30- and 40-something suburbanites, couples and singles, during the week and on weekends. -- Annie McManis
