O'Malleys In the Alley

Great little Irish pub to wet your whistle. Service was great and the drinks cold! It connects to the neighboring The Blind Pig, which is nice. Great spot to hang out with friends. Thanks O'Malleys.
Note, the Google Maps walking directions are totally screwed up to get to the alley entrance. You may be better off looking for The Blind Pig and entering through their bar instead. If you enter through there, walk straight back and you will connect to O'Malleys.

The wings and the chili were great. The wings were thick and didn't even need dipping sauce.

We happened upon this place while in the area for the Van Gogh experience. Everything about this joint was amazing, from the atmosphere to the service to the food.

We started with a round of beers, as one is wont to do while traveling. They had a few local beers on tap, which were really good. If you like onion rings, you should definitely get these. They were hot and crispy and delicious. All three of the empanadas were really good and we would have been happy with just more of those for our meal.

We decided to just share a couple of chicken tender baskets with our appetizers. I don't think I can accurately describe how surprisingly large the chicken tenders were, but the 3 of us would have been fine with one order. They were very large, but they were still cooked to perfection.

Anyway, if you're debating about it, you should just go check this place out.

One of the coolest bars I've been too

Best pub in downtown Cincinnati. Perfect place to drink, eat and watch sports on several TVs. Fast service, good food.

Great bartenders make it popular with locals as well as travelers looking for a welcoming place to unwind. Happy hour and daily specials are pretty cheap.

Full bar with good beers on tap, cans, bottles, seltzers and a few wines plus a TouchTunes jukebox.

The bar tender and staff were very friendly. We enjoyed talking to them and hearing their stories. The bar is interesting because there are 2 bars in one giant elongated room. The back bar is The Blind Pig and draws a younger crowd. It has a great outdoor area with a beautiful view of Cincinnati. The front bar, O'Malley's is an Irish pub and draws an older crowd.

We came in Christmas Day to get away from the hospital for a bit and they bartender was awesome. They had some chili mac that hit the spot after eating hospital food for a week. Thanks for the pick-me-up on Christmas 👍

Quite an adventure to find the namesake alley door for this place. Amazing facade makes this look comical but long space inside. Bartender was super friendly and food came out fast, and plenty of it!

Great funky spot with full bar and great beer selection. There are two bars, one near the alley and another overlooking 3rd. A large patio allows great views of the stadium.

You can also enter the bar from 3rd on the stairs next to Lola's Coffee (see photo)
Wifi available. Street and lot parking nearby.

We ordered at the bar and the food was amazing and fresh. Highly recommend the buffalo chicken wrap!

Helluva bar! Was in town for the Bengals Bills game. Everyone was nice to me even though I was wearing enemy colors. Next time I find myself in Cincy, O'Malleys in the Alley is top of the list!

A legit dive bar. Finally! Great place to catch the Bengals game. We went for Monday night football and it was great. Eat before you go. There’s no food… Who cares. It’s a great bar.

First time there!!! We came up for Cincinnati/ Bills game but wanted to catch the Dallas/ Philly game. Great atmosphere for us Eagles fans and amazing gameday food!!!! Thanks Mark for letting us know it was an Eagles bar lol!!! Go Birds🦅🦅🦅!!! If your ever in town Omally’s is the best Eagles bar in town!!!

Great food & service as usual. A MUST stop when in Cincinnati. WHO DEY!!!!

$4 Jameson, and great food, can't ask for more out of a small pub like this.

Awesome little whole in the wall pub on the side streets of Cincinnati. Plenty of TVs, service was great. Plenty of lighting in the alley. Never once felt unsafe. Very cool laidback crowd. Beer selection was good. Wasn't a big fan of the size of the plastic cups. Maybe 10oz pour for tap beer.

One of the oldest bars in Cincinnati with a crowd that's as diverse as the city itself. Friendly staff, great food, good beer selection. A must visit spot while in town.

Three of us traveled to Cincy from Boston for a weekend to catch a Reds game. Spent more time than we should’ve here at O’Malleys. What a great bar, with local characters and a great bartender in Kim! Food was great, and the bar is lively!! A must if you’re in Cincinnati!

I lived next to O'Malley's for almost 2 years. It was my go to place to meet my friends for drinks and food after work. I became friends with several of the staff working there and it always felt good walking in to see a familiar face.

Omalley's In the Alley is quickly becoming a Philadelphia Eagles bar. The fn base is growiing each week. If you are a EAGLES fan i would suggest you stop in on Sundays and watch the game. It will always be on a TV or Two
