Hyde at The Banks — Restaurant in Cincinnati

Ever had a spot that you just wanted to keep all to yourself? Lol. Well, this is mine. A couple of Saturdays ago, I visited for the first time with a girlfriend. The mid-century mod decor, artwork and bar set-up are totally my style. The music, totally my style. The Hyde 75 (Empress Gin, lemon juice, and other tasty ingredients) was mind-blowing! It was perfectly balanced and is currently my favorite drink. So much that I had to have it again for the second week in a row. Yes! It's that good. In contrast to last week, this weekend brought a packed house! There was a dj spinning house/lounge music, the crowd was chill, and the scene gave me LA/NYC vibes. The service was OUTSTANDING both visits. I absolutely adore both Madison (she is an awesome mixologist) and Jeremy. Their energy and flair really make them stand out (insert heart emoji). Also, both times, at least one of the owners has interacted with my party to ensure our experience is incredible. I'm soaking it all in now because this place will rightfully gain huge popularity and soon have lines out the door. I wish them all the success. See...

My family and friends came down to have a few drinks and toast to our cousins bday! And we were treated well but the bartenders. However the owner or manager came in acting very rude and racist and told his bartenders to stop servicing us and to put us out…which the bartender openly opposed but had to because of his job.

We weren’t rude, loud, annoying or causing a scene. Just 15-30 middle and upper class black Cincinnatians mishandled and mistreated. We won’t spend our money with them EVER again, and I recommend you...

Me and my husband went here tonight. We were both dressed very nice after dinner at a fancy restaurant. They denied him entrance because they said he had “slippers” on. He had expensive Birkenstocks. We can get in Ruby’s with these on but not in a dive bar cheap establishment like this? I was completely insulted. I will never go back again. I’m convinced they don’t want 60 year olds in their bar. Discrimination as far as I’m concerned. No...
