Bar Saeso

We had our Company Christmas Party at Bar Saeso and it was awesome! Chris was so helpful in organizing it and we felt extremely well taken care of. The atmosphere was great and we were able to enjoy a great party with our team. Would definitely recommend hosting your event there.

I had my wedding reception here and I have nothing but amazing things to say! The whole staff was extremely kind and helpful the entire night. The drinks were so fun and amazing!! Can’t recommend enough for an event or just a night out

Awesome bar with a great atmosphere and unique drinks. It is always my go to when I want a nice evening out that is not too wild. Great place for a drink and conversation.

Really fun spot with with a nice variety of drinks offered. The ambiance makes it feel very chill. And they’ve just opened the back bar area and the outdoor patio with a taco truck.

And the outdoor space comes just in time as this place is getting very popular.

Keegan is the best bar tender in Cincinnati. Possibly the state. Knowledgeable, personable, welcoming. I felt like a local. I'll definitely be back.

This cool little bar on Sycamore is very relaxing to me, not loud like the bars a block over on Main can get.

It's a perfect first stop for happy hour in OTR. They make great cocktails and the taco truck out back is good too.

Bartender Keegan was great at making the spa water but is a can be a little over dependent on his blading hucks which are too high risk for my taste. Would love to see him commit to throwing flat hucks to space from the opposite side of the bar.

Would’ve given 6 stars but they don’t have Touch Tunes…

Such a cute neighborhood bar with a European feel. The staff are friendly and the ambiance is intimate. Excellent drinks and specials for each day of the week.

Love at 1st taste. I appreciate the Bartenders that take pride in the craft. I'll Definitely return.

Great ambiance, super laid back staff and one of the best martinis (extra dirty). Chill music vibe where you won’t have to struggle through Wagon Wheel. 🤦🏻‍♂ 🙃 Nice option to choose between indoor and outdoor seating 👏🏼

Bartender Keegan was cute, but apparently has a girlfriend. Kinda sucks. Whatever.
So the actual food and stuff was good too, but I didn't eat any. Like I know Becky just loved some of the smaller plates like so good!

I rented out the gorgeous 1208 Room for a cocktail party. The staff was phenomenal and gracious, the space was stunning and my guests had a blast. Booking and logistics were painless and reasonably priced. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

I absolutely love this place!!! Seriously can’t recommend it enough, I take all my friends here when visiting from out of town!! Ambiance resembles that of a speakeasy, and the taco truck in the back has DELICIOUS quesadillas! 10/10 recommend stopping by if you’re strolling through OTR.

Came here for a cocktail and left after eating the BEST grilled cheese of my life. Truly could not recommend Saeso when they have grilled cheeses enough.

This bar radiates a European vibe. The patio is a great hidden gem in the middle of OTR, tucked away from the main drag. The taco truck needs no introduction - its a great compliment to the concept. In all 5 visits, the staff has been personable even during busy times, drinks made well and the classic margarita does the place justice.

I just love that Pendleton can count Bar Saeso as one of our own. It has great cocktails, beer and the taco camper out back adds so much to the entire experience. I have never been there and not felt welcomed and it has been a great place to go to chill. I feel transported to another place when I visit Saeso.

So cute! The food truck out back was top tier! Very nice cocktails and chill atmosphere. Lots of places to sit inside. I saw a tiny dog in a bag.

Finally writing a review since this is my favorite watering hold in OTR/Pendleton. I keep coming back for the hospitality, amazing Condesa cocktail and the tacos out back from Pataroja. Can't recommend this place enough!

Excellent cocktails. Excellent grilled cheese selection. Favorite bar in Cincinnati.

Stopped in for an afternoon cocktail at the recommendation of Kevin (Hart and Cru). Archie was fantastic. The menu cocktails were excellent and we got to try his yet-to-be-named Mezcal cocktail, which deserves a place on the menu. Hat tip for the thoughtful way he helped me pronounce a certain Amaro correctly. I appreciated it.
