If you love Karaoke, Mr. Pitiful’s is the go-to place on Thursday nights. The atmosphere is friendly and the drinks are wonderful. I came here for my birthday and really enjoyed myself. The bartender made sure everyone enjoyed their night. The DJ knew how to keep the crowd smiling, dancing, and singing.As you can see the bathroom is well kept & I was overall happy.I recommend drinking here.

This bar have a dancefloor bartender that get you respectably drunk. I love it always have fun in that bar.

Tall short dark haired bartender was CLUELESS. 10 people in bar took our drink order ,came back with people next to us order and completely forgot about ours

We went there for our buddy, Murphys, memorial. The staff did a great job in making everyone feel like part of the family. The only thing we didnt do was do a viking funeral. For you hipsters; the prices are fair. The atmosphere was great, especially for the occasion. The selection is vast.

Mr Pitifuls is a fantastic bar with two personalities. Sunday through Thursday it is a great local bar where you can get a drink with friends and on Friday/Saturday it is a dance club that cant be beat! Whatever you are looking for you should be able to find it here!

Mr pitifuls OTR has great food and good socialists atmosphere.

Where to start? Mr Pitifuls is exactly that, pitiful. On entering, we liked that it wasnt very crowded. Sadly, we quickly learned why. We stood at a pretty uncrowded bar for quite a while, holding a $20 bill. Nobody came over to ask if we wanted a anything. After a good 10 minutes someone finally came to ask if we wanted anything. Being a part of the local Bockfest, we asked what bock beer they had on tap... only to find out they had none. Very sad. Im not a professional, but I have watched a lot of Bar Rescue and have seen people getting free drinks and walking to the other side of the bar enough to think this place probably wont last.

If you’re looking for a weekend bar with a large dance floor and intense atmosphere, this is it. Prices are fair, Mr. Pitiful’s delivers what you’d expect and does it well.

Im the wrong demographic. This place is for college kids and cougars looking to hook up. Not my scene. But the music was good. Dance floor was large. Drinks were ok.

Mr. Pitifuls definitely caters to people in their early 20s, however its a place pretty much anyone can enjoy. They have a separate bar area, patio, and dance floor, so you can easily switch between the three depending on how you feel.The DJ is hit or miss, but the bartenders are quick to get to you and friendly.

Obnoxious guys kept fighting drunk all night and security didnt even react to them. Definitely makes me feel unsafe. Also, they declined entry to my girlfriend claiming her identity was fake but let her in based off her age on Facebook. That makes no sense and is probably illegal. I wont be coming back

The best place to go out for crazy dancing in Cincinnati. The music is good and the crowd is awesomely crazy.

The rude, blonde, short hair, bartender literally looked right past me for 10 fn minutes. She literally helped every dude around me before she finally acknowledged me. Its an okay spot when theyre not busy but the service goes out the window when they get a little busy.

My favorite place in OTR! The dance floor was amazing! Did not want to leave!

Its was a fun environment great staff... Love karaoke night on Thursdays

This place is awesome! This is a fun place to meet friends and make new ones. The beer is the best in Town. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This is a place worth your money and time.

Wanna get REKT? This is probably the place for you, lots of young locals... Wont suggest it if youre visiting, youll feel left out.

Little crowded for my liking. Bar wasnt too bad of a wait but the beer was skunked, and they quickly got me a new one. Id probably go back.

Good prices and good music. Sometimes it’s over crowded and can’t move.

Pretty fun bar in OTR with a decent sized dance floor. Service is generally good.

Fun place to go hang out and dance.

The bartender in the back room was super great to us and super sexy

The only negative I can say about this place is the restroom is ALWAYS packed! they should just make the guys bathroom the overflow for the women’s cause the line can get really long! Other than that... 10star rating! Great drinks Great prices Even better music!!! It’s skin to skin on the weekends so go early if you plan to sit(but why go and sit anyways) fun times!!

It was a friendly atmosphere I really liked the staff. They were friendly and very approachable the dancing floor was also great because it had a lot of room and I never really felt crowded dancing. Overall is a great experience and I would definitely be returning on a Friday night.

Nice place to go out dancing on the weekend. The service was a little slow ,but its always busy on a weekend. The DJ has better taste in music than most DJs at clubs.

Ok very nice place to visit..

Had lots of fun here great bartenders to chat with before it got busy. When it finally got busy, it was a fun atmosphere. There was lots of dancing with a large dance floor on the other side of the bar.

Great music, great vibes.. walkin two or three blocks from parking cost $1 for all night charge 6 dollar little bit far from parking. It great distance walking in warm weather. Drinks prices were little bit pricey if order from hard liquor, good prices for beer and ask what their special drinks!

The nightclub would be better if the djs werent so genuinely terrible. They cut to a new song right as the main unifying chorus hits, and shut off the music for every major chorus is about to come. People dont come to a bar to hear a thousand strangers screaming out of tune, but to hear the actual music

Great small dance bar plays good music & is always packed , no cover & great crowd that varies in age.

Younger crowd, different music and too crowded. Not as much fun as it use to be. Great bartenders tho.

Cool place.Great vibe.Quick bartenders.I like it!

Nice atmosphere and music was ok, but, the bartenders could at least try to look like they want your money and actually serve you what you request. Maybe I just got the wrong person with the wrong vibe. We went elsewhere.

This is a Great Time. Somewhat mixed crowd. Mostly white. But had a great time there.

The bartenders are great but the 1 star has to go to the old man who bounces and says he’s the owner. Sorry but if you’re that rude maybe you should stay off the floor and leave the customer interactions to people who know how to act.

Gets crazy and crammed. But its a great place to dance and drink. The music changes so its not just one genre

This place is almost always packed every weekend and for good reasons. The dance floor and DJ are great and the bar has big screen TVs to watch sports. I wish this place had a wider selection of drinks (especially beer) but I still recommend checking this place out. Be sure to give yourself plenty of extra of time to find parking since there is no on site parking. Get there early because by last call that place is packed full!

Staff was excellent...patrons were terrible, oy!

Its a bar with dance floor. Nothing out of the ordinary. Music is fine

One of the decent dance floors in Cincinnati, with a good crowd.

I liked the Dj/music. Great crowd and atmosphere.

Fun place to dance and drink. DJ is pretty good

930 on Friday. Great weather. No body there. 6 people. Hey, be advised, this is no longer a Blues and Cajun venue. Its just another dance club with a DJ.

Its an alright bar.. Age range would have to be 21 to 28. This is not a mature bar at all. You have people getting sloppy drunk and the floors and bathrooms are nasty. I wouldnt recommend this bar personally but the drinks are priced reasonably and they have a dance floor with a DJ.

Decently fast service even when busy, great for dancing.

Really good jazz!

Great laid back bar in OTR

It was ok. Nice crawl.

If you like a club atmosphere in a historical building, this is for you! Fun place...

This is a crowded place but I like it that way. The dance floor is pretty big and usually packed after 10 PM on the weekends. The drinks have always been good and normal prices for a downtown bar. I love the music they play. Only downfall is the small restrooms.

Anytime after 12am, the name says it all, good place for dancing and drinking of course.

Great Bar With A Dance Floor! Ive Always Had An Amazing Time When Visiting Mr. Pitifuls

Fun atmosphere and quality tv options. Highly recommended!

Great drinks, great bartenders, great energy. If your looking for a place to dance the night away, this is it!

Good part of your tipical bar hopping while at OTR. Great music

This was a good neighborhood bar but its in downtown Cincinnati. Didnt take anything away from the cold beer, large TVs, helpful and friendly staff and good times. They allowed us to have pizzas delivered, which we did, so I dont know about their food choices. Still, this is a place I would revisit if I ever came back to Sin City.

Great lighting always full. DJ could be better.

Good atmosphere. Good interaction with customers and employees.

Great atmosphere if you love crowds of drunk people sweating all over each other spilling their drinks everywhere. Good drinks I guess.

Good music, great service

I gave it 4 stars cause you might like it. Not my scene, but was packed with attractive young people for what that is worth.

Its in my neighborhood and love the crowd and drinks are pretty good as well.

Great drinks and a great dj. Nice space for dancing

Never had a bad experience here. Very fun place. Love dancing here with friends. The crowd can be hit or miss. But the staff is friendly.

Great place in OTR. Went for a retirement party.

Great time , had a blast there ... Always go there when looking for a good time ...

Great people. Great drinks. Excellent music. Its everything I want in a bar, and I always leave in a better mood than I came in with. Looking forward to the next time!

Nice spot for night life on Main. And they have a lottery kiosk you can play #s.

Needs a better DJ great drinks

It totally depends on what you want here. If youre looking for dancing and a busy club experience this is for you. The drinks are normal bar drinks. The dance floor is busy. Place is usually pretty crazy but fun if youre trying to rage.

Great palace to party. And people watch.

I took my daughter and 14 of her friends out for her 21st birthday and for some reason the bouncers at the door would not let me in. It was the worst experience of my life and I will never be back!

Good music and decent crowd. Maybe too crowded for some people, but its a good place if you want to go dancing often.

Great music & drinks.

This place is great. The bartenders are awesome and the atmosphere is amazing. Jeff is great.

They remodeled and it looks a lot better. More spacious and new big flat screens on the back wall. Good place to dance in the weekends

Been here twice but both times I could barely get inside. I’m pretty sure this place is breaking fire code for how crowded it is.

Loved the synopsis

As a guy that likes going out with friends, this place is alright.Everyone was dancing to the decent DJ, drink prices were okay and the bar had plenty of room in it for a bar.Ill probably visit again.

The bartenders are amazing, friendly and the atmosphere is fun. It can be a bit crowded and the crowd is...lets say youthful but, just getting out for quick drink and dance, its great.

Fun club!

There are a lot of bars that try to be something that theyre not - this one tries pretty hard not to be anything. Live music on the weekends is pretty intense - but the owner is a first class guy. Great undiscovered treasure Monday-Thursday - you can almost have the place to yourself !!

Had a ball mixed crowd drinks was reasonable

Uhhh... You wont remember this place if you have more than $50 in your pocket and are wearing breathable clothes

Great atmosphere, no drama , great music and drinks

A good time

I’m 24, have a valid ID...but I can’t get in?..why?? Well cuz the door man didn’t believe my ID was me..cuz of my height? Just a bad experience.

What you would expect from a night club. Reminds me of My Adams Pavilion, but much more trashy and run down. Drinks were reasonable, DJ that night was ok, and the crowd on the dance floor was good. Dancing got a bit tight, luckily the main bar area has seating and is away from the loud music and light show. It was hot, sweaty and muggy which is probably what you would expect at a dance club type of place.

This is one of our favorite places to go when we go out! Not a fan of DJ 5-0, but DJ Byron never disappoints! Well always be back!

Always a fun time on the weekends, good music and drinks

Went out over Hannukah when a friend came in town. Pretty great service considering how packed it was. Never waited more than a minute or two to order drinks. Had my ugly Hannukah sweater on which was a hit including the staff. Great night.

Great friday/Saturday night place to have some drinks and dance, awesome atmosphere and people!

I really enjoyed myself here. First time my husband and I go, we really liked it.

Great place!

The place was very nice and the drinks were a pretty nice size, but after the awhile it got really hot and really crowded.

Great time so afternoon beers and watching nascar with friends.

Good music, fun packed atmosphere

The perfect kind of turnt up. The best place to end any night in OTR (as long as youre willing to dance with other sweaty drunk people. Assuming you are, this is the perfect place.)

Awesome! Very Diversified! And I am older, very conservative!

Awesome place....Love it
