City View Tavern is a simple, no nonsense dive bar with a priceless view of downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Genuine bartender with short, honest answers that runs this place his way. The inside likely has not changed in decades. Park on the street or get a ride here. No parking lot. Put your favorite song on for $2. The outside seating area is not big, but we were able to quickly find a table on a Saturday night.

Love a burger at City View! A great spot with a great view of the city. I most recently had the Cheddar Bacon Burger with A-1 Sauce and it was delicious! ** Pic is of the burger with lettuce, pickle, onion and mayo from a previous visit which was also yummy**

The view, of course! I think this rating was based partially on nostalgia, too. My husband worked here in college (in the 90s!) & I loved coming here to celebrate the Reds & Bengals. I’d argue the burgers are still the best in town. It was pleasantly crowded, not packed; easy to place/get our order. Bathroom is still terrible 🙂

This is a mom-n-pop bar and restaurant, where you prefer at the bar and take it to your table. Simple, laid-back, no extra flares. Burgers are decent and made to order, they also have vegetarian options. Environment is cozy. The view of the city from the back deck it’s what draws me to this place more than anything.

Delicious burgers and amazing view!! You can not get a burger this good anywhere for what they charge. It was very quiet when I came in but honestly I enjoyed it, it was relaxing. I see some people have had some negative things to say about some staff, but Silas was the only one working when I was there and he was very nice. I will definitely be back to try other burgers. Great meal and view for under $10.

The real deal. The burgers are legendary, the service prompt and true, and the beers cold and refreshing. And did I mention the view? Stunning, even on a cool, rainy day.

The view was nice, but the bar’s entrance was dark, and its ventilation smelled like mold. Thankfully, we ate on the patio.
