Mt. Adams Bar & Grill in Cincinnati, OH

Our Story

Mt. Adams Bar and Grill, 938 Hatch Street, was built in 1875 and has had many lives through the years. This one began in 1987 when Eddie Sheppard bought it after creating the Blind Lemon next door. He set his sights on recreating a tavern of years gone by filled with antiques, stained glass and memorabilia that captivate customers while they enjoy cocktails and great comfort food.

It is within walking distance to Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Cincinnati Art Museum and Krohn Conservatory as well as being in a historic hilltop neighborhood overlooking downtown Cincinnati.

Our Menu

Our food matches our old world style. It is a place of comfort and friendly faces with homemade soups, salad dressings, salads and desserts. It has become a neighborhood staple.

First came here when it was McCarthy's in the 1970s. Later became Mt. Adams Bar and Grill. Great atmosphere, excellent food and friendly, attentive service. Highly recommended. A Cincinnati treasure.

Menu has good variety, no matter what you’re hungry for. Good soups!

Huge shout out to jack the bartender! Jack made our day. I am visiting from Seattle and brought my grandparents here for lunch. On our way out we got to chatting with Jack and he offered to show us the Blind Lemon next door (it was a Monday and they were closed for the day). He gave us a tour and told us the best history of the two buildings. It warmed my heart to see my two Cinci born and raised grandparents get to feel super special with this quick private history tour. My grandpa beamed and talked about it all day. Food and drinks were great too but nothing tops the people and the atmosphere! Thank you Mt Adams’s Bar and Grill and Jack for making my whole trip.

Went there for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with the speed of service and our food came out hot and quick. I would definitely eat there again.

We decided to try something different and this was a great choice! Varied menu offered great choices for everyone. Lost a star for service because the server forgot our appetizer. But she was very personable and it was easy to forgive her for that.

I would go back in a heartbeat! It was lovely. The waitress was awesome and attentive. And it was just a great place to hang out.

Stopped into this fine establishment for something light to eat & a coffee. Ended up having two glasses of wine too. I had the Mediterranean plate & a cup of corn beef & cabbage soup. Both were wonderful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is amazing and my waiter, Gus, was such a great young man. He is very good with people & very polite you man. Has aspirations, & I think he’ll do well. Now, the interior design of the restaurant is one of the best I’ve seen. Love the look & feel. It has so much to take in & view. It’s beautifully arranged & it’s just fun to walk around and appreciate. I highly recommend going to this bar & grill if you’re able to.

Great food. This restaurant is so clean with great decor. The Ruben was fantastic 👏. Also, the Greek salad has a nice twist with the dressing.

A great blend of bistro and classic diner, with great service. Great service.

Place is larger than it looks from first glance. Explore the back room to get a sense of the lovely decor.

Been here a few times and every time I’ve been impressed. Reasonable menu prices with a great selection. Ask for Emma, she’s an excellent server!

Southwest chicken sandwich was fire. Enjoyed the Buffalo chicken wings and nacho fries. I enjoyed the spacious seating.

Always our go to place when in Mt Adams.

What a fun place with great food. The reviews on here got me interested and the whole experience was awesome.

Real neat looking building on the outside and the vibe was super fun on the inside. I ordered a single cheeseburger as the description said it was 1/4 lb. But the patty is smaller than you think so don’t be scared of the double.

Chips are the default side dish and I missed that on the menu. Ruffles are fine but their fries are rather tasty.

My wife loved her veggie burger and the homemade lemonade was ridiculously tart! Hurt your jaw tart. 🙂

We got lucky and found street parking just a block away; it’s really snug in the neighborhood.
Michael Hensley
Beautiful wood paneled pub.
Jacob Gaffney
The food here is always very good quality. The service is great as well. This place is in a great side of town and has a very neat interior! It is also reasonably-priced. I’d return to this place as long as it stands and stays the same! I love it.
