About this place Rosies Tavern

Rosie’s Tavern sits on Bakewell Street in Covington, right across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati. It’s a small, unpretentious dive bar where the drinks are cheap and the regulars have been showing up for years. This is the kind of spot you stop by after work, not a place you dress up for. Hours run from 15:00 on weekdays and 13:00 at weekends, closing at 02:30 every night. A 4.6 rating from nearly 500 Google reviews points to a friendly crew behind the bar. It pairs easily with a night on the Cincinnati side, a short drive or rideshare over the bridge.

Bar tender, Jeremy, was amazing! Great drinks and had a good pool table. If you're visiting town I would definitely recommend this place to get a good local vibe.

Great place with fantastic cocktails and hospitable staff and crew. Fun atmosphere & wonderful times for all walks of life. You are family when you're here. Non smoking.

Amazing energy, friendly staff, and very clean. The drinks are priced well and is cozy inside. Just hidden enough off the main strip where you feel away from crowds, but always lively!!!

Best drinks. Best prices. Best bartenders. What a "neighborhood bar" is meant to be. Do you know what a "Rosie pour" is?

Kristi is amazing! She remembers us and is always sociable (along with knowing our drinks)! Chill place to hang out after work! Gets busy in the evening!
