Live Music at The Blind Lemon Cincinnati, OH

Located in the heart of Mt. Adams, The Blind Lemon has been a Cincinnati institution and hidden gem for nearly 60 years. Beneath a glowing sign alerting passerby that ‘the garden is open’ lies a narrow passageway leading down to a sprawling brick courtyard, featuring lush foliage in spring and summer, and an oversized fire pit to cozy up around in fall and winter.  Inside the bar itself, you will find a rare setting of old world comfort, lit by firelight and a kaleidoscope of soft, warm Tiffany lamplight.  The charming underground tavern houses an eclectic collection of old time memorabilia, with the shine of copper, classic car and plane models, and ornately framed paintings and signed photographs delightfully crowding the walls and ceiling, and creating a unique atmosphere in which to enjoy one of our craft cocktails, local beers, or spirit of your choosing. The Lemon (as it is affectionately known by regulars) offers live music seven nights a week, showcasing the best of Cincinnati’s vibrant local music scene, and underscoring a perfect evening out.

Kaitlyn LemarrKaitlyn Lemarr ★★★★★ This was one of the most interesting bars I’ve been to. It almost gave me like an oldies speakeasy vibe. They had a fireplace both inside and outside and the place felt very intimate and cozy. One of the workers pulled out the chair for me and also helped me get my coat on which felt very high in. Our waitress was very nice and made sure to come back quite a few times to check on us (I don’t personally like when waiters do this, as it makes me feel rushed, but I still wouldn’t change my rating). The live music was cool and they have speakers outside so you could hear if you sit out there. They don’t have prices on the menu which sort of stinks. I thought it would be very expensive because the prices were not shown but my drink (Milky Way) was only $9 ( I wish they would put the prices on the menu. My friend mentioned she would have gotten another if she knew it wasn’t too expensive). Wonderful atmosphere. My drink was also amazing; it was amaretto with hot coco.Sharon McGeeSharon McGee ★★★★★ Great place for drinks.Vijay ChettiarVijay Chettiar ★★★★★ Blind Lemon is one of those late night hangout places we have been going to for years now. No food here, but drinks are good. The rustic and old decor of the place is unique and very welcoming. Highly recommendLauren WagnerLauren Wagner ★★★★★ The blind lemon is such a hidden gem. The drinks are amazing and the location is so cozy. The fireplace is my favorite part. Be prepared to sit close to other patrons when it’s busy, but it’s cozy and friendly.Kimberly HowardKimberly Howard ★★★★★ Eclectic atmosphere, unique decor, cozy surroundings, good musicRunaway Tech GalRunaway Tech Gal ★★★★★ This place is the soul of Mt Adam's, and I pray that it remains open for generations to come.PoojaPooja ★★★★★ They have an interesting selection of winter cocktails, perfect for the cold weatherRoberto GRoberto G ★★★★★ The waitress was very attentive.

What keeps us going back whenever in town.Joyce TullJoyce Tull ★★★★★ Great music with Donna Frost for pre-New Year's Eve! And, Walter is always a gracious host.Livia WeingartenLivia Weingarten ★★★★★ Had a lovely little GNO with Sheylyn and Natalie! Perfect fall vibes in their outdoor area with a giant fireplace in the middle keeping everyone warm! I think it would be cute with they put some fuzzy blankets on the spots farther back from the fire, then it would’ve been perfect and we could’ve spent the whole evening out there. All three of us ordered from their hot cocktail menu and they did not disappoint and were priced very well! I’m blanking on the name of the drinks and forgot to take a picture of the menu 😪Angela BegleyAngela Begley ★★★★★ Great atmosphere! It's a hidden gem.js_loader
