The bouncer was super nice and talked with me about Wisconsin because I had a Wisconsin ID. We came to Somerset on a Saturday night in the winter and it was packed but our group of 5 was still able to find a seat. The cocktails are about $12 which is fair because their cocktails are true mixology. The inside has lots of plants and is like a greenhouse. We were able to get drinks super quick and close out in a timely manner. I got the Curio Punch and really enjoyed it. The summer would be the perfect time to come here.

Def one of the best bars I've ever been to. Unique, really fun inside, and can't wait to experience the outside patio when the weather warms up! Mocktail options were great and service was very helpful and nice!

Really great place the inside and outside are beautiful! It took a little while to get our drinks but it's ok they were pretty busy on a Sunday night!! Drinks were good!! Also sooo many seating options

The ambiance here is amazing! Came with a couple of friends on a saturday night, we really liked the vibe and the crowd was pretty chill. I really love the decor, the plants, the seating. I ordered a margarita, pinot noir, and one of their seasonal drinks the ube margarita. I loved the ube marg, so delicious, but wasn't crazy about the other drinks. I usually stick to wines and margaritas as my favorites, and I can't lie the ones I had here were kind of mid. I guess I would just say these weren't their specialties, their signature drinks seemed a little more quality. But the ambiance was really worth coming here, I think I would just have to know what options are good if I was planning on coming here with some regularity.

as a plant lover this place was a dream. Great local craft beer selection and the service was even better.

This is the most beautiful bar I have ever been in. If you're into plants, natural lighting, and an earthy feel. You will want to move in. I want to live here.

I absolutely love this bar! It doesn't feel like you are in Cincinnati when visiting somerset. The vibes and the ambiance are everything! It gets pretty packed on the weekends but during the weekday it's more chill and less of a crowd. I tried a cucumber cocktail and the lavender margarita. Both are tasty and flavorful but neither gave even a buzz and I'm a super lightweight. A lot of the mixers are premixed assuming to help keep up with the crowd however the cocktails are like drinking juice.

Somserset is hands down THE best cocktail bar in OTR and Cincinnati on the whole. Walking in is like immersing yourself into a tropical alternate universe. The interior was designed incredibly thoughtfully, down to the colorful wallpaper, boho decor, and myriad of plants, large and small. It feels like a classy jungle oasis. Not to mention, the drinks themselves are fantastic. The sangria and Freaky Tiki specifically are delicious. If you only have time to go to one bar in Cincy, Somerset is it!

Super interesting bar in OTR. They had plenty of outside and inside seating. Plenty of bartenders in multiple areas could help you get drinks. The area around it isn't great so I'd go with a group.

Is this my new favorite cocktail lounge? Yes. Did I properly document this adventure? No. Will you just need to take my word for it? Just go and discover for yourself! It was COLD in March in Cincinnati y'all. Like wear your parka cold. We needed some spring vibes so off we went! Talk about escaping to another land! This brought all the light, sun, plants, and so joy just follows. We got cozy in the couch and lost in conversation. Mostly about how magical it all is. I had to try their espresso martini and it was one of the best I've had! Layers of flavor with just a bit of cream and not sweet! I could have stayed there all day!
