Sorry. Around Labor Day a "Closed" sign appeared on the door. Jimmy the bartender is now at the Bike Stop Wed. and Thurs. downstairs and he's as wonderful as ever.

This is just a great neighborhood bar. Both dartboards were in full use on my visit. Happy hour has good specials. The crowd was mixed and having a good time.

$1 domestic beer brings the happy hour crowd. I liked it here. The staff is great (say hi to Jason!) and although it was fairly quiet on my visit late on a Wednesday I can imagine the place with a good crowd.

There really isn't anyplace like this where I'm from. I wish there was. Even if I felt a little like Grandpa here...it was a younger crowd, about a 50/50 mix of men and women. But everyone was getting along fine, the bartender was keeping everybody happy and thirst-free. No smoking ban in Kentucky...everyone (but me) seemed to be smoking and I could smell it in my clothing later. But I had fun! Covington is a funky old town full of bars, clubs, and restaurants...and Rosie's serves the gay community quite well.

So there are black gay men in Cincinnati! There's a pleasant diverse crowd. It's a welcoming city bar with a nice happy hour.

I can't believe there's a bar that opens early in the morning - at 5:30!!! With happy hour, to boot...until 9 in the evening. This place is unique...and not just for that. The staff is fun and friendly. Great pool table, tempramental pinball machine (I tilted and it REALLY wasn't my fault). I was there early...I wonder how it gets late?

than a bar. But great TV's for sports-watching (even if the sound's playing the DJ's videos), a friendly staff, and really cool T-shirts.

If you can handle sports with the sound off...this is a good bar. Pleasant staff. Pool tables and darts drew most of the crowd.

it sure seemed like someone was having sex there. OK, I didn't check it personally. And I can't think why anyone would be outside in the patio in December for another reason. But the staff is friendly even if porno on the TV makes me just a litle uncomfortable...I'd go back.

Based on a happy-hour visit, I liked this place! It's a nice size, friendly staff and customers.

Maybe the restaurant next door is good. But I didn't really feel comfortable walking into the bar. While I was deciding whether or not to stay and have a drink, the bartender disappeared...problem solved. Sorry. I didn't feel this was the best bar for a lonely stranger in town.

but don't expect many changes. Woody's will still be the center of the Gayborhood. Karaoke on Mondays is surprisingly amusing...cute boys who can't really sing can be very entertaining. Some of us feel kinda old there pretty quickly. It's still good fun.

it's like a great central meeting place. And a damn good bar, too...the bartenders take good care of you.

This is my main hangout. It's comfortable and fun and if you're a gay man in Philadelphia who isn't totally into twinks...this is probably your kind of place. Although it's Philadelphia's only leather bar, there usually isn't any restriction what you wear (occasionally in the downstairs Pit Dtop, but you don't have to go there) and the bartenders are great.
