Second Story

The best cocktail bar/lounge in Covington and one of the best in the Cincinnati area. The place looks and feels fancy, the drinks are beautiful and balanced, and the atmosphere is very cool. Dress up and show off in a place that deserves your sequins ✨️

Atmosphere 8/10 Pretty cool interior design and details. The music is a bit too loud to have a conversation. Drinks 7/10 Limited signature cocktail menu. Liquor selection is opulent. Absence of coasters. Nice presentation for selected cocktails, but not all (glassware choice). Drinks taste was ok. Service 7/10 Attentive team at the bar. Reasonable prices for Kentucky. No special service.

Incredibly unique bar usually with great music, neat theme, nice drinks from cheaper beers to higher end cocktails. Very photo opportunity perfect seating inside with an incredible outdoor rooftop patio as well. The outdoor seating is limited and more quiet and the indoor space is great for larger groups. Clean bathrooms, clean space all around, definitely worth coming here to spend your money on 2-3 drinks. Dress code can be anything from casual to high-end and you won’t stick out. No cover charge. They did a very great job with the decor and seating.

Second story is always a great experience. Unique cocktails that are updating as well to keep things interesting. The bar itself is so pretty and anywhere you decide to sit you get a cool vibe, it’s a great place to get to enjoy your drinks as well as your company

I had heard a lot about this place from friends in town. The interiors are done well and catches your eye. The drinks though are another story. Tried 2 drinks here and both were terrible. In the quest of trying to make things different, the drinks didn’t taste good.

I like the atmosphere but it feels more like a spot for regulars. Order at the bar then find a seat. People talked about great service but I’m not sure what they’re talking about. No one talks to you unless you sit at the bar. I ordered the Jacks apple pie and i think they should have put the caramel syrup in the drink like a syrup instead of trying to drizzle it on top of the solid cold foam. The outside of my glass was covered in syrup including the handle. There was a table with food on it like someone brought appetizers but the only person I saw get stuff from it was someone who worked there to eat his self so I’m not sure if that was for everyone or just employees. There is no food menu. I wanted a cocktail bar but their selection honestly wasn’t that great for a bar that only serves drinks. If you want to come in, grab a drink and sit with friends for a couple hours then this is the place for you. Kind of reminds me of the alcohol version of a Starbucks but with moody decor.

This is a chic cocktail bar with Vanderpump Rules-eseque decor. The bartenders were all skilled with the cocktails on their signature menu. We didn't go off script, but I suspect they are top-notch in mixology. I would visit again for one drink as pricing on their cocktails is reflective of this higher tier establishment. Also, I MUST KNOW why is their a field goal on the back patio?? K, thanks

I came here for alchemy fest 2023. The building was beautiful and a wonderful hosting area. The outside seating had more than enough accommodation. The drinks were specialty cocktails which were delicious.
