Alice

Had a blast going to an event at this place and can't wait to go again when they host the next one, staff was super friendly and helpful. As a heads up for future people, they don't hold onto your card for your tab.

Went here to dance during my bachelorette trip. We had so much fun. The bartenders and bouncers were very nice and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. We felt very safe and comfortable. Really good vibes.

If they named this Alice because of The L Word, then I give it 5 stars for the brand of a gay bar. I feel like this bar has so much potential, but I went on Goth night and it was not the vibe for me! Loved how they had 2 DJ areas for diversity in music. This place was super busy! I enjoyed the pear cider ◡̈

Drinks are good, service is actually good and pleasant. They keep a good staff of bartenders. The music is always lit but there’s also a ton of space to just sit and chill. Great bar for dancing and photo ops!

I totally understand having strict security at bars/nightclub and having to check bags, but when a security guard sticks his hand into my purse and starts rummaging and pulling things out of it (WITH HIS BARE HANDS) made me feel violated Alice, please hire professionals that will at least use a stick to look through bags. I mean that man could have done anything with my stuff while he had it in his hands. Not to add that they check you with a metal detector as well. Again I understand this is for safety, but to go through my private things like that is just unprofessional. Please do better

Newer and still great bar in OTR. It's huge, with four different areas: an outdoor patio as you walk in from Main St, (just south of Liberty St), a main bar room straight ahead, a lounge room to the left, and a dance room to the right. I've been when there's DJ music and had a blast. But also enjoyed the very chill vibe without it. Either way, drinks and staff including security were all good. There's cool decor all throughout, including wall art, greenery, neon lights, a wall of music speakers, comfy couches and hanging swing chairs. Even ordinary things like ceiling pipes (which also list the drink menu) and the restrooms have flair.

I have been coming to Alice for a couple years and the entire vibe is amazing! Tonight I met Alex at the bar! She is truly amazing and such a sweet soul. Made my night! 🙂

This place has a LOT of potential to become a really hyped up place in cincinnati. a few things i thought were on POINT: the male staff that would hype up the crowd on the dance floor MADE MY NIGHT. he was literally the best. he made sure everyone was having a good time. he kept the place clean and collected empty cups. he danced with people! he was ALWAYS smiling, so friendly. protect him at all costs and maybe give him a raise. he loves his job so much. maybe give him some of those flashy light sticks you see bottle service girls with. (but also i want X10 of that guy. WAY more fun than bottle service girls) the drink menu was FUN. i got the drink that had beets in it. super unique! drink prices seemed fair. my personal opinion on a few things: the front of the bar is great, great atmosphere. the rugs were a little weird tho bc they just got bunched up everywhere. bar is cute. couches are cute. LOVE the lights on the ceiling. LOVE the clock on the back wall. the dance floor area kinda looks unfinished. i know this place recently opened but like maybe a cool epoxy floor design (with some non slip grit!) would be cool. also some lights in the ceiling would be cool (idk i was thinking like some funky color changing orbs or something, nothing bright, just something up there would be cool) the DJ Nest was a great idea. i love how they’re up above everyone, but play on it! want to see them have some fun and run the party. fog cannons, bubble blowers, streamers, light it up there a little more. make the DJ Nest a space accent, but not overly distracting. Also, themed DJ nights was be awesome. 90s night, emo night, halloween party, let’s do this. a few things i hope to see improve: while we were there, at least 10 glasses were dropped on the dance floor. this got really annoying really fast, and dangerous! a lot of people were wearing open toes shoes. as much as i HATE plastic, i’d rather not step on glass / have breaking glass keep hitting my feet. i wish there was more variety in the scenes that replay on the walls in the dance area, though the ones that did play were really cool. the bathroom situation was also at little confusing but i’m glad someone was there to help manage the chaos. the music was 7/10 there were some good beats and the DJ in the beginning of the night was really throwing down things to dance to, though as the night went on, it just ended up being the same popular songs you hear with the typical throw backs. i hope they can get some DJs in here to MIX, DROP, and SPIN for something unique. this place seems really unique and the music should match. OVERALL i do think think was a pretty fun place to go. i hope to see it grow and develop. cincinnati really needs better venues and better club vibes and this could be it. it’s at least headed in the right direction.
