Pirate's Cove Tropical Bar & Grill, Cincinnati OH

Our waitress was super nice. The food was a bit bland and the menu was pretty generic, nothing really special beyond the location.

Fair at best. 3 of us ate there on a Saturday for lunch. The overpriced food was fair at best. Stop at McDonalds for a fresher salad. Club Sandwich was meh.much more bread than tasteless meat and you should probably find better bacon as I am not sure it was even bacon. All in all, you can find much better pretty much anywhere else than here for food. Leave Pirates Cove for alcohol and the live music as their food is certainly an afterthought. A distant afterthought. ** Oh, and in the current world of covid, NONE of the staff wears masks nor any facial covering. **You can certainly find a better place to eat.

Pirates Cove is behind Four Seasons Marina which is built on top of an old river barge. It has a Tiki Bar feel with a section of tables sitting in sand to increase the ambiance. The TuesCrew of Ohio TuesDayTrips boarded the barge and walked the plank…err…deck into Pirates Cove and found a table for six.

We were seated overlooking the marina which had many personal yachts and other large boats moored within the cove. A disappointment was the fact we could not see the river from any location on the barge. The views were strictly the cove and marina. Oh well, we were not really there to stare at the river.

The waitress provided good service and was fun as well. We spent the first hour with a couple appetizers of pretzels and onion rings. They were both outstanding. However, the pretzels were a WOW Moment. Big recommendation from the TuesCrew!

Eventually we ordered fish sandwiches, fish tacos, crab cakes, grouper and a BLT salad with shrimp skewers. Delish! Even though the location was a bit disappointing, the ambiance and food sure made up for it! We will be back!

The Ambiance of this place was great. I mean it's in the middle of a marina on the water. It had a tiki bar decor. I didn't try the food although it seemed to have a surprisingly good menu with lots of choices. Went with a group and everyone enjoyed the music. Live band, great View, Outdoors. My friend did have the egg rolls and she said they were really good. There was a nice sized bar and tables along each side with a view of the water and boats. A fun place!

My second home. Nothing beats Pirates Cove in the summer on the river. Great Key west inspired food and live music.you just can't find this special hidden gem anywhere else.

Pirate's Cove is a great bar and restaurant on the Ohio river featuring live entertainment on weekends. Good food and friendly service, it's one of my top choices to get some food or a beer.

Seat yourself on a busy Friday night makes you feel really awkward walking through the restaurant eying tables.

We luv the pirates cove.last nite had dinner with friends as we do every weekend.a young lady from pirates cove asked for my email and I will get 5.00off dinner.well got ready to pay bill and they didn't take it off.why have her go around a do this if we can not use the coupon.do not waist peoples time if you can't use it. Thanks.

The food was disappointing. Service was good but we barely eat any of the food that we ordered. It was extremely poor quality. We feel we wasted our money. Will not be back to eat. Would be fine to just drink (canned beer as our draft beers were flat).

SPIDERS! The tiki decor is full of them. And I don't mean just tiny ones. There were several that had the body size of a dime. One large one came down and landed on our table. The table was screwed to the floor so you can't move it. I couldn't eat after that. Bring raid if you go.

Pirates Cove is unique eatery located next to the Ohio River that not only offers great views but great food as well. It has a kind of beach style decor happening with Thatched roofs and even a pirate. The atmosphere is laid back and they have a well stocked bar for your relaxation needs. The food although a little pricey to be served in a plastic basket is great. The staff was friendly and our server was both pleasant prompt in anticipating our needs. I really enjoyed it! As always, Enjoy!

Jared was our server who did a fine job. Our party of 4 had no complaints. The food was good, the atmosphere was great considering it was 90 degrees in the shade! Very nice, will be back.

Yikes. Went during the 2-6 Happy Hour and my "half-price" beer was still $6.38! Nachos were standard at best and a jaw dropping $14! Never again.

This place was fun! We came here for my wife's birthday and everyone had a great time. Unfortunately the vibe was way better than the food. Overpriced, and extremely greasy.

Awesome, covered outdoor restaurant and bar, good food, cool vaca decor, great service, at a private marina but lots to observe.

Enjoyable outside dining. Cool breeze from the river. Fun crowd. Food is a little expensive for bar food. Not fine dining, but still a great way to enjoy outside dining while we can.

Food came out microwaved an old. Ordered black beans an rice with shrimp. Very very sour other person smelt the coke slaw an smelt very bad the salad came out an was already turning brown. Spent almost 70$ an they gave us 10$ off our bill. Will never go back.asked for a margarita with no salt, came with tons. Great atmosphere but not so good for the food.

Great atmosphere great place to watch the river in the boats the service was a little slow but the place was absolutely packed so that was to be expected great time to be on the river and to listen to some music

Been here 2 times. Food good. Service 2nd time was good. Both times however we waited a half hour to get the check and we had to ask for it. Makes the overall experience disappointing.
