Rosie's Tavern — Restaurant in Covington

Thanks for the drink Rosie but we won't be back... after being harassed by drug addicts in front of Rosies for 10 minutes while the whole bar watched but no one came out to help we politely told them we were going inside as we proceeded to make our way into the bar we are met at the door by Rosie herself.... as she proceeds to tell us she watched "the whole thing going down from the time we pulled up and that we could not come in her bar she was neighborhood watch" but yet extremely intoxicated herself. At the same time I was highly offended due to being accused of buying drugs. Wow all I was trying to do was patronized Rosie's bar. After I explained our position and the drug addicts finally left She bought us a drink and proceeded to call Covington Police Department to ticket my vehicle that she was very aware of being parked in a zone for permit Vehicles only,  but did not let us know after making the decision to let us come inside...making customers feel extremely uncomfortable from the time they pull up into the bar until the time they pull off  is never good for business.  We only purchased a second beverage out of guilt we would have preferred to leave after the first drink. I regret making that my choice bar that night....

I just moved to area and being a 62 year old gay trying too meet others, I don't drink and was told it was a nice place to mingle. Being doing this for two weeks and a older woman came out and said I had too move fir those seats where for paying customers Was very off taken and do not know this woman was I guess management Unless one of the regular people did not like me there But the bartenders there are really nice and beyond the clicks of regulars But to the lady I'm sorry if you thought I was Takeing up space I've been seating there just trying too meet others but I guess buying 24 redbulls from bartenders for the last two weeks does not count I again hope you where not chasing me away because he did not like me or something from another customer Have a bless day and I guess a 62 year old man that know no one will have too go somewhere...

The service in the bar is great, HOWEVER it appears to have specific patronage. There’s definitely a multitude of races in Cincinnati and NKY that happen to be LGBTQIA. I was the only POC here after midnight. The bald bartender who asked what I wanted to drink was sweet, BUT this dirty blond guy who was sitting next to me suddenly got up and started drying glasses and wiping the counter, and then when I used the restroom and returned the same guy came from the same direction as the restroom with bottles that needed to be replaced at the bar. He kinda just glared at me mostly….when I got up to pay my tab he reorganized the stool I was sitting on properly at the bar. I’m not using the R word….I wanted to give it a chance, but understand why this bar & bar 32 have the reputation they have with POC. Nice...
