Saddle Club — Restaurant in Fort Mitchell

Important to shop and eat local, 4 friends and I stopped by Comporosso, the newest pizza joint in town to get dinner. I unknowingly parked in a spot that was not designated for Comporosso.

I finally got the attention of the "bartender" and she reluctantly sold me my second beer. I took two sips and left.Go if it's your only choice but otherwise uber it to somewhere a little...

Where to begin... a family place if I've ever seen one. You've got the locals that know everyone there, you've got uncle Mike and his meat sticks and don't forget grandpa John and the haunting figure of someone's grandma hanging over the bar. The bartender I think his name was Chad friendliest guy you'll ever meet, makes a mean whisky on the rocks. Also the pizza joint next door is fantastic or maybe it was just the drinks but either way it was...
