Stopped here for a beer and some wings. It’s a nice place! Although drinks are a little pricey.

Amazing food options for people of every diet (I myself am a vegetarian) and their food is delicious. Perhaps a little pricey but for the service and selection I was not upset in the slightest. ALSO: The club downstairs is sick and I cannot wait for the reopen after Rona

We had brunch there today. Our first time there. Food and service were outstanding. We had made reservations and they had our table ready for us and were as prompt and friendly as it gets. The Eggs Benedict and Biscuits & Gravy were fantastic. The doors were open so sitting next to the sidewalk was great. We will be back.

Amazing food, drinks, and very personable staff! The cauliflower wings are to die for, I get them every time I come here. Good priced drinks and a great place to watch the game and listen to music :)

We had a great time at The Ludlow Garage checking out the band 999! We got there early enough to have dinner upstairs before we went downstairs to the concert. The food was excellent, we both fully enjoyed our meals. The waitstaff was great also, had our drinks filled when we needed it and it didnt take long for our meals to come to our table. The concert was also great! 999 put on an excellent show and the bartenders served drinks in a timely manner. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and cant wait to go back in the future!

Pretty cool place. Pre - covid concerts in the basement.

This place is great. My wife, kids and I saw Phillip Phillips last week. We only got dessert before the show. The area where you watch the concert has very comfortable seats and the sound is great.

Great vibes, really cool location. Food was 3/5, but drink selection is very good.

Venue is perfect size. Had a great show seeing Chad Prather. 5 star performance. I do wish the food fit the atmosphere. I found the food to be a little out there for my taste. I would like to see more comfort style food you would see in a club atmosphere.

I have dined here previously before the kitchen and menu received an overhaul. In the past I was not a fan of the food and wouldve given them two stars max...but boy how times have changed!First and foremost our waitress was beyond friendly, attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and helpful.My guest started off with a strawberry vodka lemonade. It was divine with freshly pureed strawberries and fresh candied basil around the rim. AMAZING.I had their bleu cheese burger with bacon and my guest had their pork chop plate. The burger was delicious although it had a bit too much bleu cheese. My guest thoroughly enjoyed the pork chop plate. I will definitely return.

Great cocktails, thanks to the bartender. Also, loved the pita chips and hummus appetizer.

Great burgers and very friendly staff. Had a wonderful dinner with friends. Gluten free options are available.

Wonderful venue!!! Love the seats and stage layout too

We went for the first time Friday night and oh my what a treat!Our server, Lucia, was teriffic, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was inviting and friendly. I really enjoyed learning the history of LG. I cant wait to go back to try more items on their menu.We ordered the tot-chos appetizer (delish!) Pork entree (loved the bacon jam) and BBQ burger with fries. Generous portions so go hungry. Cincinnatis hidden gem indeed ️

Good! Solid tavern food and nice beer selection!

A great place to enjoy great music! I got to see the phenomenal Louis York featuring The Shindellas! The show was amazing! Good soul healing music- Music that makes you feel good about life!

Personally I love this cozy venue. Good sound for bands, piano players, and story tellers. Restaurant upstairs is delicious, great selection of beer, could use more wine. Burgers are perfect, fries are awesome (could use more). Go check out their website and find a show. Parking is a horrible, but the venue is worth it.

I tried the Garage Beer. It was good.I did not go for a show here, but I did take a peak downstairs at the venue and it looks pretty awesome. The bar upstairs was cool and I liked the overall layout. I bet on a warm day its great with the garage doors open.I was told stories about the bands who used to play here back in the day. Maybe Bob Dylan, even? But dont quote me on that.

Been there three times. Absolutely wonderful venue, and they get some great artists. Saw Peter Noones (Herman of Hermans Hermits) Christmas show there last night. Front-row center. Fantastically entertaining. Among the best shows Ive ever seen, in fact. (and Ive been to hundreds in my life). High points? The entire show was a high point. Great songs, very funny, engaging banter between the tunes.He actually shook my hand while walking around in the audience (and again at the end of the show). Charming man, great singer, great band, very fun show. Weve got his live CD in the car right now, and it wont be leaving the player any time soon.I hope you read this, Peter. Youre a gift to the world.

Great way to celebrate 50 years of Frank Zappa. This venue is top notch the staff was amazing and the owner came out and thanked everyone who came out. Well worth our trip from Columbus. Keep up the fantastic operation. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars. Will definitely make more trips.

The food was good, but the staff was amazing.

A real music lovers paradise. The sound was great, love that the stage was designed for folks on either side had a great view. Marcus Millers concert was one of the best Ive ever seen/heard.

Awesome music venue at the iconic Ludlow Garage. Sidewalk plaque list all the music legends who played here 1969-71. Today you can enjoy good food and drinks upstairs while downstairs provides an intimate musical experience with amazing sound. Wait staff incredibly friendly. Insiders tip: row 9 is the honey spot for sound and vision.

This is one of the best places to go and hang out....lov the people and the atmosphere!!!!!

Great pub food. Friendly staff. I highly recommend the burger. The new concert venue downstairs is the best place in the city to see a band play. You get to see your favorite artists play up close and personal.

I love Ludlow Garage for the smaller venues to enjoy an evening for dinner and a concert. Im not that picky on things in general but I have been to LG 4 times and enjoyed the food, drinks and the concerts. Ill be back. Ill be back a lot.

Great place to see talent at a great price. Last night was Birds of Chicago never heard of them. The woman had a terrific voice the music was great as well. Have been there several times.

The venue is very intimate and the artists that perform are outstanding. In November every week they had a concert I was there.if you never been, you need to check it out. They also have a restaurant upstairs that is also nice.

Great music venue! Very comfortable and clean facility. Excellent staff provided an outstanding experience.

The most intimate venue I have been to. The history of the venue resonates throughout. The sound is good also. Do yourself a favor and make sure to reserve a table at the Ludlow Garage restaurant before the show for delicious food and drinks. Tables are usually booked the night of shows.

Great bar and menu. Personable staff. Concert venue abuts the corner stage. Plush chairs. Great acoustics. Parking a serious issue.

Love the remodel! Glad to have you open again.

My first time here. Saw Poco a 70s rock band. The venue is oddly shaped, an L. But the seats are comfortable & the bar has great options. If you get the chance to see a show here, I think you would like the intimate setting.

Really good venue. Comfortable seats. Nice intimate setting. Clean and sparkling. Even restrooms.

It pains me to rate this place so low, it was a good concert and the staff is spot on. The problem comes in seating. The rise and run of the seating is a bit off. The seating is not offset, so you look directly at the person in front of you. Section 2 feels like an afterthought; even the artist said he would forget we were there, as the room set to play to Section 1. I believe there are around 10 or 12 rows in Section 2; the first 4 rows are on the same level; the next 4 are on the same level. So if you are not in the first row of each of those 4 rows, you cant see anything but the person in front of you. It didnt have to be that way, they could have been more mindful of the rise and offset the seating.I would go back, but I would definitely sit in Section 1 and be mindful of the rows that are on the same plain.

We had a good meal. It wasnt too expensive and it came out hot and tasty. Im coming back.

Really like the new seats. The setting is intimate. Great bands, saw Poco last and the price of a pint is very fair. A fine venue that Cincinnati really needs.

First time here and loved it!

Great food and music venue with super service and cleanliness.

Warm atmosphere, good service, tasty food, like it

Seen Fuel here and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Ludlow Garage is an intimate place to see a band. Thats pretty much where the charm ends. Its in a basement, its pretty hot, and the seating is old airplane coach seats. Its in a cool neighborhood, but as with many quaint old parts of town, the parking sucks. I wouldnt keep these things from seeing a great band, but there is room for improvements.

Great people. Excellent service and excellent food. Great G. Winston show.

Went to see Rising Appalachia. The bar and venue downstairs are absolutely beautiful, friendly staff, great time. Definitely recommend and would love to go again.

Above and beyond employees! We noticed we got locked out of our car after we left the restaurant, and the nice bartender let us hang out inside after hours to make sure we’d be safe while waiting for AAA! It was such a nice gesture. Also, the food was amazing and loved the drink selections. We will be back! Thank you bartender lady!

Great venue for live music. Most comfortable seats I have ever sat in for a concert.

I have been to many, many concerts over the years, and my all time favorites are the concert I saw last night at the Ludlow Garage -- Tyler Hilton -- and Ed Sheeran in Indianapolis. A singer/songwriter playing a guitar. No gimmicks, just a great artist who clearly loves making music. This was my first Tyler Hilton show, and it certainly wont be the last. Tyler was great about playing the songs his audience wanted to hear, and spent time with everyone post show. This was my daughters second concert ever (the first being Janet Jackson), and the first where she could meet the artist (Tyler was so wonderful with her) and appreciate music in a more intimate setting. This was the first concert at the Ludlow Garage since they renovated, and unfortunately, I think with the restaurant not being open and so many shows being rescheduled prior to Tyler Hiltons concert that this contributed to his show not being sold out. I look forward to seeing Tyler Hilton at the Ludlow Garage again when the renovations are complete!

Nice place , the employees are friendly I am just not a fan of the food being brought up from down stairs to the upstairs and not covered up with people standing in the foyer , steps etc .

We had a great dinner and drinks upstairs then proceeded downstairs to the completely renovated concert venue.

Very cool venue. Not a bad seat in the house!

Its a great place to see a show!! The food was delicious also.

5 star for intimate setting. When I went, the person behind us thought our row was a drum set. All the seats are hooked together, so our row felt like a bumpy flight.

The remodel did away with a lot of the charm. The new seating arrangement makes seeing the stage nearly impossible but for a few rows in the front.

We all had alot of fun , enjoyed our dinner then listen to the music...

Atmosphere was great as well as the music will definitely make many visits back

Hard to believe it was my first visit to the place.The surrounding area was neat with a variety of restaurants, shops and a movie theater on ludlow street.We ate at ludlow garage. It was a bar and grill style with 2 small rooms. Menu had a small variety of sandwiches, flatbread, salads, and a few entrees. There was a full bar and a decent variety of beer and wine. Food was good and server was very good.The concert venue was oddly configured but cozy. The sound was excellent considering the odd configuration. And considering 50 years of the site and the historical significance due to some of the premier artists getting a career boost at their start at the place, it is a place rock fans need to visit at least once.The band we saw was Orleans. Wildly popular for a brief period in the 70s, they are forging ahead in intimate settings. The band was very good. Knowing their place in the music world, they mixed the handful of hits they had with album tracks and more recent recordings. The 90 minute show was well received by the crowd. The one disappointment was the absence of john hall, founding member and guitarist, who had taken a leave.

Great music, amazing staff, completely remodeled venue area with the best sound in Cincy!

Had an awesome time! The venue is cozy, intimate...A great spot to experience to experience your favorite artist up close and personal!

This is our favorite spot in Cincinnati for concerts! They bring in a great selection of talent. We havent had a bad seat yet and the drinks are just strong enough. An intimate setting. The staff is friendly and helpful!

I saw Dweezil Zappa here on its opening night and its really shaping up to be a pretty sweet venue. From where I sat the acoustics were pretty great, and the seating made the concert a really comfortable experience. One issue though is that the stage has two fronts, with two audiences facing purpendicular to each other at the stage. The odd setup seemed to cause a bit of trouble for everyone to perform a good show for both sides, but they seemed to make sure things worked out. Overall good venue but the seating setup could be cause for concern.

Went to the Towne concert last night first time back at the Garage since the 80’s. Great band outstanding vocals from Steeves and very talented musicians. Going to get Big. Great place to eat, drink, and listen to music. Will be a new hangout for the old man. HALO - can’t stop listening to that soon to on the Billboard song.10.09.2019

Prices are a bit high for low quality bar

Sound quality was great. The seating arrangements are a little off. Seeing Adrian Belew in this environment was outstanding!

Excellent venue for national, top name acts. Seating and sound system are both amazing. In restaurant, food and service are great/great value.

First timer on Nov 30th for the band Josslyn & the Sweet Compression. Seating style is uncomfortable, clever but very inconvenient. Nice staff at the bar area though.

Like the new remodel, seats much better. Layout still the same, acoustics are good.

Interesting venue for a show; however, it was a cool vibe and seemed to help Mike P engage more with the crowd. It was a great show even though there were some sound issues early on. Staff was great, especially Krystal K - she is fantastic! Hope to see another legend there in the future. Mike and the band put on a great show!

Saw The Rippingtons on Nov 15 and couldn’t have been happier with this venue! The crowd, the atmosphere, the audio, and of course The Rippingtons were above expectations! The seating area is “L” shaped to the stage, with the stage at the bottom of the “L” (we sat House Left/Stage Right), our seats were cushioned & rose as the rows extended the back of the house. I would recommend this section, but I must warn you, the rows tend to sway as others in the row tap feet & engage in the music... I personally did enjoy this, but may annoy others. Even though we didn’t do this, I also recommend taking advantage of the upstairs restaurant/bar before the performance. We’re looking forward to many more visits to Ludlow Garage!

Awww this place brings back some old memories... anyway loved seeing Howard Jones here which also plays right up the avenue of nostalgia too. Cool place tho.

Food was pretty good, service was very good. Cool space right on the street with the doors open so you can people watch. Claire was super friendly and attentive.

Great vibe for live music! Excellent sound system and sound engineers!

Summary - Id come back here for just a night of drinks and/or a show, but Id suggest avoiding all-ages events here if youve got kiddos. I went for the WizardFest, and this honestly wasnt the best venue for it. The event was in the basement and there was a good amount of room for dancing, but the other setup was disappointing - a small table as Diagon Alley, cardboard cutouts in the corner for photos, and thats about it. Perpetually long line for drinks at the downstairs bar. Im surprised it was marked as all-ages because it was dark and loud down there. All that said, the rest of the experience here was good. Themed drinks were fun, staff was very friendly and helpful, and it was easy to grab a table when we needed a break.

Great food, great beer and wonderful Irish music on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

Great venue absolutely great place to listen to music and cant wait to go.back

Gerald Albright wonderful show.

Great, Great, Great.!!! Had dinner then went downstairs to Ricki Lee Jones concert. The meal was EXCELLENT! Scallops w/beet wine reduction. Best scallops Ive had in my life, The shrimp risotta to die for, perfectly seasoned! The best craft beer selection Ive seen in a restaurant in a long time. Very knowledgeable bartender, chose the perfect beer for us ! Very nice staff. A very professional and courteous manager. Check on on throughout our meal, talked about his new restaurant opening across street. Just an incredibly nice friendly guy. Sorry, I cant remember his name. Tall, gray hair, good-looking gentleman. Also, introduced Ricki Lee Jones at show opening. The concert venue is top- notched, first rate. Great sound acoustics. Comfortable seats.

Enjoyed the guitar virtuosity of the California Guitar Trio and the Montreal Guitar Trio...seats are plush, facility is well-maintained. Do wish the rows of seats had some elevation toward the back for better viewing.

Being able to drive from Dayton,Ohio to be a part of the audience and enjoy the performance experience of Mr. Eric Roberson made my day

Good food, great waitress, fun atmosphere.

Very nice concert venue with great seats and acoustics.

Great venue. Very unique. Friendly staff. EXCELLENT sound.

Awesome live music scene. Went to see and hear Reina del Cid. Great show and great service at the bar on the main floor before the show. The bartender had us laughing as soon as we sat down. Great people working here. We will definitely be back for more shows!

Great venue unfortunately my seats were directly in front of the speakers in the front row and couldn’t sit there

This place is absolutely amazing. I recently traveled to Cincinnati from Saint Louis to see a concert here (John Medeskis Mad Skillet) and can only say great things about this venue/restaurant. The food I ordered was great, the waitress was great, the sound in the venue was great and the manager was super friendly too. To top it off, the show was amazing as well. I would definitely check this awesome spot out if you are in the area.

The shrimp scampi is the best that I have ever had. Whoever perfected the recipe should be commended! It really should be a regularly offered dinner entre, and not just a special. The waitstaff and the kitchen staff are friendly, efficient and extremely skilled! The food has been perfect every single time I have gone, and I am there regularly (at least a few times a week). The entertainment is great, and I am happy with most of the bands that have performed there.

Cool place in heart of Gaslight district uptown!

Seen the Outlaws last nite, my first time being there, had a Blast

Went to purchase tickets for the Kenny Lattimore show, the gentleman who was working bar (Dan or Doug) was very helpful he took us through the seating area and let us pick out our seats. Not many left. Cant wait for the show This Friday 3/29/19 very nice Venue.

Remodeled and great looking, look forward to other events.

Weird lay out. Half the crowd faces from the left. Half from the right--all while sitting in first class airplane seats. The acoustics are great.

Excellent venue ,pat travers brought the lumber .nice size

Ludlow Garage has the best burgers in town-cooked to perfection! Service was great, atmosphere was just what we were looking for on a night out in Clifton to celebrate a friends birthday. Well definitely be going back, maybe catch a show next time!

Quirky seating layout but otherwise a fantastic spot for intimate shows

Awesome place great staff and environment to see a show

Unique place to relax, eat and enjoy music!

Love this place . Parking nearby

Great music. Seats are comfortable. Service is attentive and quick. Prices are very reasonable.

Steve Earle show was very good

Great food and jazz guitarist John Pizzerelli was fabulous!

We have been there 4-5 times and have not been disappointed. The food is great and then downstairs for a great venue. We have seen some great entertainment and congratulations for creating a very nice place to go! Keep up the great work.
