The Public House

Cheviot-grown owners with deep west side roots, open since 2008 under the Black Sheep Pub name before a full renovation in 2012. The menu is built around the neighborhood's German-Irish heritage — gourmet scratch pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and wings that show up consistently in west side conversations. Fifteen tap handles featuring Cincinnati's best local brews, and the only bar in Cincinnati officially certified to pour a perfect pint of Guinness — staff were flown to the Guinness Brewery in Dublin to earn it. Seven thousand square feet with a dining room, party room, and large outdoor patio. Live acoustic music on weekends, trivia nights weekly.
