"Eating at Red Lion Pub in Montrose means you might run into an entire football (that’s soccer to us Americans) team, people yelling intensely at football (still soccer) on TV, and someone next to you enunciating the word “pint” while ordering beer. Determining where the English cosplay begins and ends at Red Lion proves difficult, but the bar stocks enough whisky and English or Irish beer to get you saying, “God Save The Queen'' regardless. Grab a bar stool or wood-paneled booth and order up a stomach-busting portion of shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, or chicken tikka masala. And while the food here won’t blow your mind, it will sop up quite a lot of beer and most of it comes covered in cheese, and that counts for a lot." - Chelsea Thomas

The perfect hidden gem. Walked around everywhere and couldn’t decide where to eat and this place stood out immediately. Love! The setting is so mellow, all of the art, the soft lighting, music. Service was fantastic, she was a sweetheart, plus I got my (delicious) mock-tail! The chicken tenders were amazing, and definitely those homemade chips! And the hot honey wings—OUT of this world! Next time I visit Cincinnati, I know exactly where I’m eating. : )

Kind of a let down. I guess I expected more. This place has been hard to get into for a while. Every time I’ve tried to get a reservation I haven’t been able to. Just before the Reds game I got lucky and got one. Place was kinda dead inside. It’s really dim lit. Not a fan of the ambiance. Food and service was the best part. All of the food we ate was fanatic. There just isn’t that big of a menu choice for food, kinda limited. This is more of a place to drink than eat.

What a great experience the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful and unique everything is imported from Ireland. The food is incredible we got the BFG wings as an appetizer and I got something from the secret menu ans my main item. My husband got the Killarney moon cheese burger which is absolutely amazing because he let me try it. lol The sides are also so flavorful both the chips and fries. Our waitress Dan was friendly and took time to educate us on the history! Will definitely be back!

Beautiful pub with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great history and story. This is a landmark as well as an eatery. We loved the Reuban and the burgers. The house made chips and cocktails were also delicious. Will be back!

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff Dan was great at letting us know about the history of Red Leprechaun and it's Authenticity. As first timers to visiting I would give this place even more than 5 stars! Everything was so delicious and we could tell a lot went into making the food devine.

This was a great experience. Food was amazing (we had fish and chips and pretzel and cheese off the secret menu). Service was so friendly and accommodating. Ambiance speaks for itself, just walk in the front door and you are home! This will be a staple for us.

This place is lovely and since Ireland is one of my favorite places I love this place even more First of all the decor is spot on. Irish sayings all over posters and red color makes it pop. The bartender was wonderful made me a decaf expresso martini. Delicious. I didn't eat but my hubby got the shepherds pie 10/10. This place makes me want to kiss the Blarney Stone

Food is delicious! Autumn was our server and did an excellent job. Drinks were great too! Cool vibe. We'll be back.

Derick from TikTok recommended this place. Said it's his favorite place in Ohio. So we had to check it out on our trip. Greeted right away and the staff was super friendly. Our waiter was the guy from the TikTok and I forgot his name. Shame on me. But was real friendly and helpful. Went over a few menu items for us. The atmosphere was great. It was in a game night for the Reds so fun crowd. My wife got the fish and chips and they were fantastic. I got the menu off their "secret" menu and it was really good. Service was quick. Food was hot. Drinks were cold. You should check it out.

Fun w music Nice service at the bar Had to ask to put on the Reds game Would have thought at bar so close that'd be a priority but seems they focus on music which is fine. He was good. Seemed to be some fans there. Didn't know who it was. Good songs.

The Red Leprechaun was by far my favorite establishment to visit in Cincinnati. For starters, the service was the best we received. The bar tender came to our table, gave suggestions, refilled our waters without asking, answered any questions we had, was super attentive, and overall engaging. The vibe is pretty cool. Like an Irish bar, but in tones of red and whimsical light-up signs. They have a phone booth you can record messages on that they play on their social media. They also have live music during the day, not just at night - and it was no cover. The drinks were fantastic and priced well. Their espresso martini was by far the best I've ever had. Truly delicious and amazing. I highly recommend that if you're visiting Cinci, or live there, you need to check this place out.

We ate at the Red Leprechaun for a late lunch prior to the Cincinnati Reds game today. We have been here before, however, this was the first time before a game as well as on a holiday. Due to Labor Day, they had a limited menu as they posted that they had let several staff take off to enjoy the holiday weekend. They had plenty of good choices to choose from. My husband and I both decided on the Little Guinness burger and house-made chips, my husband had fries for a small up-charge. The burger was very delicious. It had the ground beef patty, Marie Rose sauce (which was delish), grilled Guinness onion, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese. My husband enjoyed a Guinness and I had a Strongbow Cider. The Red Leprechaun is a charming little pub. There is quite a bit of history to it. The hand carved bar once thrived in a place in Ireland called Malahide, it is north of Dublin. There are many beautiful details and fun memorabilia. There also is a secret menu which you can ask for on a normal day that has a few food items and drinks that aren't on their regular menu. It is fun to ask about it , also, there is a hidden secret menu on the walls of the restaurant. It was tricky to find but we found it the last time we visited. They encourage you exploring the place as it is fun to look at everything. I recommend checking it out.

Came ate and conquered I wanted a hotdog and a hotdog is what I got with a bag of fries and three dipping sauces on the side. Added plus is the live country music singer Elias Gomez. Ask for Alex when you walk through the door

Got there early in the evening, so it wasn't too crowded. (More people started showing up around 7:00). Noise level was good. Even with a solo acoustic guitarist singing a great selection of songs. We were close to the small stage and he even asked the crowd about his volume. Ben was our waiter and was quite good at offering suggestions, getting our order, checking on us and making sure everything was good. Food!! We all tried some different items. Started off with the Fries,chips and dips. Fries were done very well, crispy outside, soft and hot inside. Chips had a nice seasoning, the three dips were perfect! A Cinci chili dip, a peppered cheese dip and a malt vinegar aoli. All 3 were delicious. I had the Fish and chips, the batter was not too thick and had a good flavor, the fish was cooked just right and was flavorful. My wife had the Rueben sandwich. The meat was sliced thin and had good flavor, on rye toast with a very nice sauce, something called Marie rose. She enjoyed it immensely. I don't recall everything else the others ordered, but everyone seemed to really like their choices. Oh, can't forget the adult beverages!! The "Espresso Moher-tini" was really good. Suggest you try it for AFTER dinner because it's almost a dessert! But yummy! One of our party had the "Oscar's old fashioned". He said it was a very nice upgrade from a normal old fashioned! Another of our group got the Galway Girl. That seemed to be a big hit! All in all, a really good experience. Live music, great food, great service....definitely worth a repeat visit!! And definitely recommend the Red Leprechaun!!

Stopped here for a quick pint before the game. Place was packed, but lucked into seats right at the bar. It was elbow to elbow, but everyone was in a party mood. Beer was flowing and everyone was happy! Really cool decor in kind a pay phone booth! Would definitely come back

I can't remember the last time I had a burger this good. Chips were also a great pick and the service is very solid. If you need a square meal in The Banks, I can't recommend the Red Leprechaun enough.

Yelp
Definitely a bucket list place for me. Had the opportunity to go on a date night. I'm always a sucker for Sheppards Pie and order it whenever I see it. Some of the most flavorful I've had since Ireland. The check book is an Irish passport vibe which tied the experience together. The bag of fries app was great, would love to see a curry ketchup or similar with it , but that's just me being overly picky.

Was here for St.Patrick's Day! Place was packed. Live music all night long! Also, they have a secret menu! Great place to go to for lunch and dinner and before/after a Reds or Bengals game!

A few things...Number one (let's start with a win) the ambience of this place is really cool! The live music was so much fun and the place looks incredible! Second the amount food you get for the price is definitely not right. Though the cheesy fries were good (very crispy) and the sauce on both of the wings were good, they were so tiny! It was not worth it. I have most DEFINITELY had better wings in Ohio. And the burger was, at best average. The service was slow and the attention to detail was not there. I had really high hopes for this place due to Brian Duffy's name being attached to it.

Service was quick and they had a few authentic Irish drinks. We sat in one of the booths near the stage and it was pretty nice. I enjoyed the live performance more than the DJ so just go a little earlier in the evening to see that. We went on Saturday night and it wasn't too busy.

We came here on a Wednesday for Bingo night! It wasn't super crowded and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We were able to sit at the bar and they got us into the next game of bingo. I got the Causeway Campari and my friend the old fashioned. We had a great time on a weeknight and we can't wait to go back with a bigger group.

Best place downtown without a doubt. Music is great. Alcohol is better and it's right next to the banks. It's new so it's not as busy now but this is no doubt the best bar in Cincinnati. It's THE Irish pub of the city without question

Christopher M.

Yelp
The service was great, we love the atmosphere, BUT the food and menu are not good. Based on the location this should be a destination for the food and drinks, but the food is mediocre at best. It's a good location and proper are willing to pay for something good.

Excellent environment with great live music and awesome food. For lunch we had - Huge Cod Sandwich, Irish Chips (fries), BFG Wings and Cold Guinness- 2 TNT Thumps Up

Very new went when they first opened, staff was well trained no matter who walked by the always ask questions or talked to us.

I feel like I'm in Ireland! This place has thought of every single detail! The actual bar top is from Ireland, the pictures are from Ireland. Live music on some nights! The music isn't too loud, so you can hold a conversation. The food is all Irish. The beer and drink selection is great! You can tell they have put a lot of detail in every single thing. There is a little phone booth from Ireland. And it's smells great in here! Not to mention THE VIEW!!!!! And this is probably super weird... but the toilets don't flush automatically too soon! I don't have to rush wipe ! I highly recommend checking it out. I can go on and on.

They did a great job of handling sudden rush of the Flying Pig runners. The 5K was delayed 3 hours and a lot of people decided to eat. They weren't expecting that kind of crowd and handled it gracefully. The food was excellent and the bathrooms are really nice! I can't wait to go back again.

Great new Irish pub on the Banks that served up some surprisingly really good food. Probably the best pint of Guinness I've had poured here in the city.

Veria M.

Yelp
My food was cold because I had to drive around for 30 minutes searching for a parking space. There is no phone number to call and ask someone to run it out to the car. My fish was fried way too hard, I did not want seasoning on the fries, but did not see anywhere for special instructions when I placed the order online, and again I couldn't call and tell them because there was no phone number anywhere to be found. This was my first and probably last visit.

Dirk K.

Yelp
The food & service is awesome, found the place by luck, my wife & myself love Irish pubs & this didn't disappoint, didn't get the owners name but couldn't have been friendlier, when he found out we were from out of town & curious about some of their menu items he was glad to give us a sample, next time in Cincy we will without a doubt visit the Red Leprechaun again

Service was outstanding!!! My friend and I got the espresso martini and it was so good. We also ordered soda bread and cinnamon butter from their secret weekly menu- AMAZING. Shepherds pie was also a 12/10!!! Music was great and they also had live music. Experience made us want to come back soon!

New place! Great ambiance. Service is amazing. We ordered the Poutine fries and they were delicious. Definitely a must go!!

One of our new favorite places. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. The staff were so much fun. Live music every night and it was really good. Highly recommend this establishment for a fun early evening out with friends or watching your favorite sport team.

This is a new restaurant down at the Banks which has been open for about a month. The ambiance is really nice. Definitely going for the Irish vibe with the decor. The bar is very nice and was apparently shipped over from Ireland. They have several nice flat panels to enjoy the game, but it's not overdone like a sports bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. They came by regularly to check on drinks and food. The food was very good, although this was only our first time. We'll go back and try some other menu items. I had a burger and my wife had the Rueben...we would recommend both with the house made chips. I would have liked a better draft selection, but they carry the usuals. I hope they do well at this location.

This place sucks!!!!!! We were all having a good time and my friend got kicked out because he was "intoxicated". Isn't everyone at the bar? You drink and get drunk at a bar? It's after a reds game. People are dancing, throwing beer around, ordering shots after shots. And my friend who is just sitting at our table is too drunk? Meanwhile there's literal throw up under tables and those people still were there? Everyone is drunk. But when someone can handle their drink LIKE MY FRIEND DID and still have to leave? Then you get a bad review; no more tips and this will be heard about. If you're going to cut one person off then cut off the whole group because we're all on the same level

Jon M.

Yelp
They'll let you in "standing room only" to get drinks if their tables are full but the servers will bitch at you no matter where you stand. Figure it out.

Fantastic! Mackenzie was a fantastic bartender and poured my drinks amazingly! Will definitely go back! The ambiance is also amazing.

Corey M.

Beer was excellent! I tried the secret menu and the food was awesome. The fries were hot and seasoned to perfection. My waitress was very kind, checked on me quite a few times and was very helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the overall aesthetic was charming. I will be back!

I was pretty excited to try this new restaurant out with a friend. My friend got his food in about 15 minutes, but they forgot about my meal. Another 15 or 20 minutes later, and my food arrives. It must've been the blandest cheeseburger I've ever had (not to mention his pasty had no flavor either). The cold and soggy chips on the side did not make the meal any more enjoyable. If you want good service and good food, I'd recommend going across the street to The Filson!

Great start! Good food, good drinks, good music. Staff working hard. Best of luck mates!
