Hyde at The Banks 36 West Freedom Way, Cincinnati, OH 45202

"I highly doubt that I’ll ever step foot back in this place after being disrespected by the bouncer that used to work at energy white dude In his 40s or 50s, he’s known me since 2016. Refused to let me in then wanted me to go get the owner of the bar because I told him I knew Zack and Carl personally I was not about to search through 1000 people just to look for them to prove a point to a bouncer who makes 18 an hour side with your life I know more people producers, DJs, etc. for you to treat me like I’m a nobody is very disrespectful especially when you know me here’s my one star review and two everyone who sees my perspective and Hyde ."

"Me and my husband went here tonight. We were both dressed very nice after dinner at a fancy restaurant. They denied him entrance because they said he had “slippers” on. He had expensive Birkenstocks. We can get in Ruby’s with these on but not in a dive bar cheap establishment like this? I was completely insulted. I will never go back again. I’m convinced they don’t want 60 year olds in their bar. Discrimination as far as I’m concerned. No thank you!!!!"

"Ever had a spot that you just wanted to keep all to yourself? Lol. Well, this is mine. A couple of Saturdays ago, I visited for the first time with a girlfriend. The mid-century mod decor, artwork and bar set-up are totally my style. The music, totally my style. The Hyde 75 (Empress Gin, lemon juice, and other tasty ingredients) was mind-blowing! It was perfectly balanced and is currently my favorite drink. So much that I had to have it again for the second week in a row. Yes! It's that good. In contrast to last week, this weekend brought a packed house! There was a dj spinning house/lounge music, the crowd was chill, and the scene gave me LA/NYC vibes. The service was OUTSTANDING both visits. I absolutely adore both Madison (she is an awesome mixologist) and Jeremy. Their energy and flair really make them stand out (insert heart emoji). Also, both times, at least one of the owners has interacted with my party to ensure our experience is incredible. I'm soaking it all in now because this place will rightfully gain huge popularity and soon have lines out the door. I wish them all the success. See y'all there."

"I was invited out for a birthday celebration. The front end staff was great. But when the manager came in he became very upset, obviously because we were black and told us we had to leave. We were the only ones there. We were not being inappropriate, loud or rude. Everyone was spending money, we were not just loitering. I took before and after photos of us in the bar, when we left out (the place was empty) and also of the racist manager."

"Nice new cocktail lounge near the Bengals side of the Banks. I enjoyed a perfect espresso Martini made by Jeremy. DJ on the weekends."
