I love Arnold’s. We have gone there since 1989! I am glad to support this place! We had a fried pretzel, hamburgers and during sangria. Everything was great! We sat upstairs so it was quiet and the temperature was perfect relatively to the hot temperatures outside. The waiter was very nice and very attentive. Places like Arnold’s make Cincinnati downtown a place worth to visit!

Arnold's meatballs are delicious. They were offering 50% off food when we were there. Excellent value. Arnold's often has entertainment in the Courtyard. We enjoy the music.

The service was great. Our party was 2 less last minute and they accommodated the change. The waitress was very attentive, and we were served drinks relatively quickly. The food options are great, and it was nice to see a few new things on the menu. Everyone was happy with their food. We have been there several times and will return. I also appreciate the history being one of or the oldest bars in Cincinnati.

We had a family dinner of eight to celebrate and 88th birthday. Arnold's was great. The service team was personal, attentive and engaging. The food was plentiful and delicious. We especially appreciated the Cincinnati menu touches like Goetta and Ale-8. Overall a great experience. Thanks Arnold's!!!

We booked a table for six people to hear the music at Arnold's. The music and vibe on their outside patio was fantastic. Our sever greeted us promptly and took good care of us throughout the evening. Arnold's menu has something for everyone our food was delicious. My husband appreciated their NA beers. Highly recommend dining at Arnold's!
