Bartender/owner showed my friends and I a great time to start off our night! Streetside parking on the edge of campus. Environment felt very safe and welcoming. I absolutely will come back here and drag more friends. Drinks came out to a great price for any broke college students (about 5-8$/drink.)

Best bar I've ever been to. Super friendly, great service and non judgmental. I had an amazing time and will be back for sure!

My favorite bar, a queer and trans safe space where the bartender Miller made me feel like I belong here from the first time I walked in. I have yet to meet someone here I didn’t like.

When I came here the bartender yelled my deadname across the bar to get my attention. Prior to this I never told her my name and she never asked. She just used my name that was on my credit card. After I corrected her and told her my name, she continued to use my deadname. I don’t like leaving small businesses negative reviews especially an LGBTQ+ owned business but I feel it is important for me to warn others in my community that I did not feel safe and respected here as a trans/non-binary person.

Went there with some friends for one of my first nights out. Never had more fun. Singing was a given and dancing was never judged. I loved everything about the night, from the drinks, to the bar tender, to the other drinkers. Everyone was amazing

Awesome neighborhood bar. Jenna and Miller are great hosts and everyone is made to feel welcome. We always have a great time. Love this place

I have been coming to this bar since I've worked there when it was Little Bits. Home Base is honestly the perfect name for it though. Mandy and Jenna both create an environment that has felt safe and happy for me since I was brand new to the gay scene. This is the main place where it still feels like there is truly still community in the gay community of Cincinnati. You will never feel more welcome in any other gay bar here.

I've been coming here since 2015 and have always loved this place. The last couple of years it's grown so much! No one is a stranger, great atmosphere, great drinks, and a great bartender!
