City View Tavern

City View Tavern is a simple, no nonsense dive bar with a priceless view of downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Genuine bartender with short, honest answers that runs this place his way. The inside likely has not changed in decades. Park on the street or get a ride here. No parking lot. Put your favorite song on for $2. The outside seating area is not big, but we were able to quickly find a table on a Saturday night.

Love a burger at City View! A great spot with a great view of the city. I most recently had the Cheddar Bacon Burger with A-1 Sauce and it was delicious! ???? ** Pic is of the burger with lettuce, pickle, onion and mayo from a previous visit which was also yummy**

The view, of course! I think this rating was based partially on nostalgia, too. My husband worked here in college (in the 90s!) & I loved coming here to celebrate the Reds & Bengals. I’d argue the burgers are still the best in town. It was pleasantly crowded, not packed; easy to place/get our order. Bathroom is still terrible :)
