Lost & Found OTR

This is by far my favorite cool, chill, lounge bar in OTR. The bar crew are great and they make great cocktails. This is not a lame, basic bar that only serves beer. They make curated cocktails with love and the grill cheese is by far the best in the city. Please leave the kids home. Do come out with your partner, loved ones, or with a secret date. Great drink, atmosphere and NO TVs!! Treat the staff well, and they will take good care of you. Enjoy!

Moderate music. The space is small but has a calm vibe. But there is moderate background noise

Update: They also make great mocktails (zero proof cocktails) and have N-A beer and other low proof options. Still my favorite bar in OTR. Great cocktails and food made by excellent bartenders and chefs. Cool music and art complete the experience. Their menu is regularly updated with fresh taste creations. The sandwiches and soups are especially good (and don't sleep on Spaghetti Night during the colder months). Nice for dates and groups or by yourself. They have great happy hours, and host cool artsy events (check their Instagram). They also have a nice selection of lite bites. There's comfy seating inside, including an open window / street view room, and sidewalk seating in the warmer months.

The best lil gem in Cincinnati! I absolutely love coming to Lost & Found when I'm in the city. The cocktails are top tier and the staff is just lovely. Everyone is so personable and you can always guarantee that you'll start chatting with someone at the bar. It's such a vibe and well worth the visit!

Amazing location , very cool to hang out with friends downtown!! The cocktail can be made a little more with care , plus at 10 pm to run out of a cocktail because is pre-batch doesn't sound so good !! Anyway a great location and amazing music and vibes !! I will recommend also for the food to have someone that take care of that alone with more style and care !! But nice overall !!

Great experience here trying out new drinks. They have a very unique one that is a crowd favorite called "betelgeuse" which has some ingredients that you may not think work together but does in a weird way. Definitely worth a try if your adventurous and like to try new things. I hope to be back soon for more cocktails. Cheers 🍻

This place is simply put Brilliant. Amazing cocktails! Great food made with selection imports from across the world to create immensely palatable treats for its patrons. You come here once..you will be glued! Stephen is awesome- I asked him to surprise me with two different cocktails-( even not in the menu) gave him my general taste and he rocked them!! Must visit place!

Such fun drink choices! Nice bartenders. Relaxed and casual environment. Can get busy on weekends but a seat usually becomes available.

Bartender recommended the Miller high life. Best high life in Cincinnati! Will come back. Great service!

A little hidden away bar in an alley in OTR. Always such a cute vibe inside and the bartenders are nice. I came recently for the dumpling night and they were so good we had to get another order! The Caesar salad surprised me as it was super good and the amount of cheese was awesome! A great place to grab a drink with a friend or date!

long story short: fun, funky spot for a cocktail We went on a Saturday night & the place was very busy. It was a little difficult to get up to the bar, but the bartender was very attentive to us once we got up there. The space itself was super cool, with colorful lights, a disco ball, & lots of eclectic art. The drinks were very unique & everyone really enjoyed. Their milk-washed cocktail was delicious! The bubblegum one really tasted like bubblegum (in a good way) & the beet cocktail was crazy but surprisingly good. Overall, this was a really fun spot with fun cocktails & I look forward to going back.

Bartenders were super friendly- love the esthetic, inclusive bathrooms. Cute outdoor patio as well. Incredibly creative drinks-- weren't fans of the tequila espresso martini but loved the homemade Baja blast ice cube green drink- "wait for it" fantastic! The "disco tits" double bubble drink could not be a more sparkly bubblegum-y flavored concoction-- very fun!!

Super cool ambiance No sign out front, but not a real speakeasy m Limited food menu - chips and dip were great Service - helpful and not intrusive Disco Tits and How Many Sips were our cocktails. They were fine This is the one place I don't have to return to

After a quick bite with our son and his girlfriend we headed to Lost & Found for a drink. I was highly impressed. As an older couple, OTR isn't usually very welcoming to us, yet Lost & Found had OTR vibe without the "what are YOU doing here?" attitude. My wife and our son's GF had the Disco Tits cocktail. Yes, you read that right. Made up of vodka, bubble gum, passionfruit cordial, falernum, aperol, lemon, edible glitter, this drink packed a nice punch. Don't let the bubble gum scare you away, it's the right amount of subtle. My son and I had Wait for It. Tequila, salers, aperitif, dolin blanc, strawberry, citrus, mint. Everything but the tequila is frozen in an ice cube. As the cube melts the drink gets better. Definitely worth the wait. The bartenders were genuinely friendly, the drinks were well made, and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

We still love this place. Had the grilled cheese and chicken liver pate this time and both were very good. We arrived at 4pm on a Friday and enjoyed the happy hour with a few lovely glasses of white wine. Glad they open at 4pm instead of 5pm like other places. The staff is great, music is fun too!

My friends and I walked in here on accident one night , and I've been back three times since! The vibes inside are so funky and fun. Bartenders are always nice and quick. My favorite cocktail is the disco tits, I love a good edible glitter moment. It is a smaller bar so you may have to wait for seating, but it's worth it.

It's small in there, but I love the vibe! They also make really great drinks, definitely recommend

Cool place, cool vibes, good drinks. We stopped in on Friday night for a cocktail before dinner. Service was friendly and answered questions about the offerings. Cocktails were tasty. Gold rush was a nice fresh bourbon drink. Would go back and work my way through the menu. Tuesday pasta nights look dope.

Visited on a Saturday Night for drinks - when we showed up at 7 PM it was a little busy but very quickly got packed. We were able to secure the back corner booth, which the only downfall was that there was a hole in the wall that was pushing out some cold/moist air for some reason? It unforutnely made my hair grow/frizz while we were sitting there which ruined the experience a little bit. For drinks I opted for the Michael Keaton (non-alcoholic) and Shrub and Soda (non-alcoholic). The Michael Keaton was very beautiful but did not taste very cocktail like - it tasted more like a juice you could get at a juicery. The Shrub and Soda was essentially a cup of vinegar and I unfortunately had to dilute the drink with a cup of water to be able to drink it. My friends had alcoholic drinks that were also very aesthetically fun, however some of them were also extreme in one flavor direction (i.e. sweet, tart, etc.). For food we had the cocktail nuts that were coated in a cinnamon mix - and boy was it very cinnamon! Overall the space is cool and the food others were getting looked pretty good (it is nice that a bar offers food at all), but I am not sure that I will be coming back immediately after the experience we had and how extreme all the flavors were.

Lost and Found is off the beaten path in Over The Rhine. Luckily the had a sign on the busy street that was enticing enough to make us wander down the side street. The only thing visible from the Main Street was a neon martini glass. We were so happy we stopped in for a cocktail before heading back to our Airbnb. Lost and Found is the definition of a hip cocktail bar. The lighting was dimmed perfectly. There was a low murmur of conversation and the decor was engaging. Engaging sounds like a strange way to describe decor, but it kept you looking around. We talked about the mural above the bar for a long time. They also offered a vegan cocktail which turned out to be amazing. My partner had an old fashioned and we ordered candied nuts. The nuts were candied with Aquafina, as opposed to egg white. They had a very small work space behind the bar, but seemed to work flawlessly with five staff. The small menu was also prepared behind the bar. Lastly, if you preferred outside seating they offered stools at a bar on the street and a small semi closed in seating area on the street. Lost and Found was a perfect end to our evening!

One of my favorite more chill cocktail bars downtown. They always have funky cocktails on the menu if you want to try something unique, but they're well versed in the classics too, and they also have beer, wine, and their own "cellos," (think limoncello, but with other citrus options) they can mix drinks with). They also have several low alcohol and no alcohol cocktails! You always order at the bar here since it's not a huge place, but the bartenders are friendly and will also help you find the right drink for you if you're trying to decide. They do specials all the time, from their happy hour Thursday-Friday from 4-7 and Saturday and Sunday 2-5 to pop ups where they have food specials and new drinks.

Great local place. The food is very good. A little loud at times, but worth a visit. Take out is always perfect

Fun cocktail bar and very cute / funky decor. Drinks are very unique. I had the beetlejuice and it was amazing. The bartender described it as a savory, earthy blood Mary and they were not wrong! It was amazing.

A hip fun experience with amazing 80's music piped in. I was singing out loud to some of the tunes. It must have been Madonna night. Limited menu with a couple of vegan options. Loved the interior which lends to the funky vibe. It was a busy place on a Thursday night which is great with so many other competing options.

Such an underrated spot to grab a cocktail. I love the vibe in here and the bartenders are great. I've never tried the food but apparently it's pretty good, so might have to get a bite next time.

Really enjoyed this place! It's a little on the small side with a few tables closer to the entrance and some by the bar. I got the Westward Hoe drink and it was pretty good! Overall, we enjoyed the ambiance and would definitely visit again.

Fun decor, good place for drinks with friends. Staff were friendly. Drinks were average.

I can't believe I never reviewed this spot. I been here twice before covid and after and love it! I love the space, the service and the drinks. The bartenders and hosts are lay back and attentive. So the service is outstanding for a bar. The place itself is small, however they way is set up it makes it feel spacious and meets all guidelines. Also, it's a super cool area with all the wall designs and pairings. Their drinks menu has a little bit of everything I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order. I loved all the drinks I've tried here.

We found this place by chance after seeing a sign on Vine Street. Its located about half a block from vine and we didn't know what to expect when we arrived but were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The decor is awesome and it had a speakeasy feel. The menu had lots of drink options and they were definitely made with care. Our drinks were absolutely delicious. Would 100% visit again.

This cute little hole in the wall could be easily missed if you didn't know it was there! I had a friend taking us around to his favorite bars in OTR and Lost & Found made the cut! There was plenty of menu options, and in traditional cocktail bar fashion, a show while making the drinks! I got a bourbon based drink where rosemary was burned, which added a beautiful touch to the flavors of the bourbon, and my friend got a tequila based drink that she loved as well. You've got to try this one out! Your friends will be impressed (it worked on me lol),

This is a very fun place, nice vibe. The grilled cheese sandwich is great! Only downside - an extremely limited beer selection

Vibes are immaculate and the babes behind the bar were slingin tasty drinks! Bravo! I always appreciate quick, kind service. Their menu makes it easy to try new things, which is always a plus.

Really chill, low key spot for drinks. The outside seating area has a mural and painted seats and was a cool spot to sit and catch up with friends.

It's an amazing place and vibe it's just very crowded and the bar is very busy drinks and great the scenery is nice and clean. 21+

Wow, this place is so creative and fun! You're greeted by artsy presentation before you even enter with the bright colors on the front and back of the building. The inside is even more exciting offering unique, attention-grabbing murals and designs. I was pleased to see so many gin-based cocktails and loved the prompt and friendly service!

I love exploring our city and trying all the things it has to offer. This one had been on my list for awhile. After dinner at Pepp & Dolores (a fav) we ventured to Lost & Found OTR. I loved the vibe, creative art, eclectic seating and decor and great drinks. Such a great spot to pop in for a drink, however I've heard their food is pretty good too. The artwork was on the back facing the parking lot. I love what cincinnati has become and can't wait to see it continue to thrive. #datenight #explore #loveyourcity #cincinnati

Simply my favorite place to go in Cincinnati. Hands down. Wednesdays especially because I'm a pasta fiend.

Did you know this bar has a random Wednesday night from scratch pasta special?? This splendid hole in the wall has it going on! This was my first visit to this establishment period. The decor is loud, moody, hipster and quirky and all of it works perfectly together. Part of what makes this so special is that its clear that they dont even the equipment of a fully functioning kitchen like an oven. They are using portable burners, fryers, and toaster oven to make the Wednesday night pasta special happen and it works! I ordered the Bolognese pasta and bread service for 2 which came with a fabulous garlicy,herby, dipping oil and it was fantastic. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the meat sauce was generous and meaty, and fished with fresh parm and was the perfect portion. It was an absolute delight They even offer a Wednesday night wine special for $7 per glass. I ended up opting for a cocktail and ordered The Golden Hour which was delicious. Tasted like a tropical vacation and i highly recommend it. Don't sleep on the Wednesday night pasta special or their cocktails, you are truly in for a treat@

Can't rave enough about this place! Have been with and without our kid. Old fashioned and margarita are always perfect. The staff are attentive and friendly. Great artwork, clean bathrooms, and plenty of seating options inside and out.

Stopped in on the tail end of an evening adventure in hopes of food. The space is neat and I really need to go back and explore it a bit more. The cocktails are good too and also worth further adventures. But oh man, when we stopped in the rotating soup was African peanut stew and I love that stuff and it was so good. That was an unexpected delight and makes me want to make a big pot of it at home.

We have been in quarantine in Cleveland, Ohio and wanted to do a 2020 pseudo bootlegging bourbon run down to the border of Kentucky. We had no idea where we were staying yet or where we were going. Checked in with trusty old YELP and saw this place was close. We stopped for some patio drinks and didn't leave for a few hours. The guy who runs this was a class act and a true pleasure to talk with. The rest of the staff was very gracious and accommodating to us weary and weird travelers. The Cuban sandwich was truly next level. This bar made me want to move to Cincinnati. Open an outpost up in Cleveland! Thank you Lost & Found!

This is the best drink I have ever had. It is sweet but not too sweet, and strong but not too strong. If you are in the area, definitely stop by. I love this place so much.

We've been to this place a couple of times while visiting Cincinnati. Each time we come, I love all the drinks and the vibe. The bartenders can make you whatever you like and if you have no idea what you want like me, you can even ask them to make you something. The Cuban sandwich is also a godsend if you're tipsy or not, you won't regret it!

Lost & Found OTR is really wonderful! On a recent visit to Cincinnati my sister-in-law and I decided to check this spot out. (Because I found it on Yelp! And it looked cute.) First, the location is great! It's a bit hidden away, which I really enjoyed. And they have really awesome art, and a nice patio just off the sidewalk, so it's prime for people watching. There's also ample seating inside, both at the bar and at many tables. Next, the service is phenomenal! I got there a bit before my sister-in-law, so I was sitting and waiting alone. Our server struck up a conversation with me, and we discovered we were both from Kentucky, and then of course we talked about bourbon! And the drinks were delicious! I had the Early Boi and my sister-in-law had the Daily Dose and both were great. Really delicious, and they were strong too! If you're looking for a great spot in the area for a drink, I definitely recommend Lost & Found OTR!

We've past the noticeable neon sigh Several times. Finally made our way in. Honestly the design is great, the monster Inc esc wall is my fav. But the cocktails are great. Really looking forward to the food. Staff, as always with Cin is stellar.

Found this bar over the weekend and fell in love with it. We were there during the day so there wasn't many people, but I can see this being a great night time spot. The decorations are so cool and fun and everything was great to look at. The staff was super nice and helpful and helped us get a drink we would really like, as well as going out of their way and getting us stickers and matches and showing us around a bit. They also have a cute outside/inside area and an outside area on the street. I love all of these places popping up in OTR and I am super happy about this find.

Long story short, the drinks here were good. This small bar is cozy and chill. I loved all the artwork from the door wall to the mural of artists. Super cool vibe and great music as well (I appreciate an establishment that plays a wide variety). I thought bringing the bill in a CD case was super cute and brings that perfect tinge of nostalgia. Nice work Lost & Found

Very funky new spot, hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Luckily I checked yelp before heading over. We walked in and there was a terrible smell- not sure if it's a normal thing or just that particular day. Interesting cocktail and beer selection, average prices, cool funky decor, lots of open standing room. If there's an outdoor patio I couldn't find it. No wait on a Saturday afternoon. Would return.

Loved the decor in this spot! Came for a drink on NYE, service was friendly and drinks were yummy!

Super lowkey hidden var with awesome art and even better drinks. If you looking for a chill place that's not too crowded and some interesting cocktails, this place is for you. The bartenders are very friendly, and the drinks come out fast.

Simply the grooviest bar in the city. The cocktails are all very balanced, but also so fun (especially the disco tits with edible glitter!!). Blended with tasty food, great music, and topped with a disco ball cherry, you have yourself a vibe

Lost & Found OTR is an eclectic fever dream of a great time. The drinks are strong and delicious. The bartenders were helpful and kind and seemed to really care for the patrons. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a chaotic masterpiece of just enough cool vibes without trying too hard. Check this place out!

Very cool spot in the middle of OTR. Drinks were very eclectic. Somewhat higher priced, but makes sense for high quality ingredients. I had the Neptune yards and really liked it!

Found this place by chance walking from dinner... amazing cocktail menu with fresh unique ingredients and knowledgeable friendly staff. I loved the decor and lighting... very unique vibe. Well done and will return.

All good about this hidden place in Cincinnati. I was there with my daughter this pass weekend and everything was great. The people, bartenders,beverages and the atmosphere was great.!

New fave spot for drinks in OTR! The bartenders are so friendly and make the experience really fun and actually encourage you to challenge them and order off the menu. I had one of the most delicious cocktails of my life that the bartender just whipped up based onto preferences. The small food menu is also incredibly delicious which seems totally out of the blue, but it all works. Love love love!

Awesome eclectic place, amazing drinks, food, and music! I will absolutely be returning for more.
