Reviews of Mr Pitiful's (Night Club)

Rebecca Meadors

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

PARIKSHIT BOREGOWDA

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

Jason Sams

Shannon Jaeger

Great dance music

Krista Andriacco

Fun dancing!

Nick Altieri

Mr Pitiful's 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 can't be beat! Whatever you are looking for you should be able to find it here!

Alex Williams

Fun atmosphere and quality tv options. Highly recommended!

Andy Kountz

Great people. Great drinks. Excellent music. It's 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!

sidney smith

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.

Stacey Bohannon

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.

Racheal Stutz

Fun spot to dance and drink

Eugene Danbury

Great time so afternoon beers and watching nascar with friends.

Siria Castro

Get's crazy and crammed. But it's a great place to dance and drink. The music changes so it's not just one genre

Whitney Shea

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.

Ackeem Morris

I like it, has a mixed crowd

Catherine Perry

Always a good time

Hunter Campbell

Amazing Bar, great music and lots of people. if that's the kind of thing you're into you'll love it here.

Zach Theilman

Very loud

Kevin Phillips

Nice lil high on drink prices

Praneeta Lakkapragada

It's a bar with dance floor. Nothing out of the ordinary. Music is fine

Ryan Lay

Best bar in OTR! The management and staff are the best in the business!

Ladi Sway

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

mary queentoonlya king

great atmosphere, no drama , great music and drinks

Nippoleon Bonerparts

Not a great bar. Decent music.

Jackson Oldham

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

Alexys Gribble

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! We'll always be back!

Celeste Graves

Love coming here everyone is so nice

Eve R

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

Alicia Bell

I saw a police officer shove a drunk guy into the middle of the street he fell down in the middle of traffic with his pants down. I was standing in line and saw this take place with my friends and other people. I loudly spoke to my friend and others stating that, he didn't have to be humiliated like that! The one police officer heard me and came charging towards me yelling "what did you say?" He kept getting closer and raising his voice "you don't know what he did!" My friend literally had to step in front of him and defended me before he got any closer. We proceeded to go inside and the bouncer pulled me and my friend aside and said " if you guys don't like the way we do things here you don't have to come here." This is just one of the many problems that I have with this place, it's crowded and never enough bartenders, no air conditioning. That police officer really tried to intimidate and bully me because I had a opinion, needless to say, I will never go back to pitifuls!!

Nishant Joshi

Good

EBONI HARDY

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

Brandon Colón

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.

kitso matlhape

A great vibe! Get there!

Ginter Rhoades

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.

Audrey Oldham

Mr. Pitifuls will always be a good time because people come here to get crazy but the dj is always awful

Sadi Faulkner

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

Jelani Berry

This was a good neighborhood bar but it's in downtown Cincinnati. Didn't 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 don't know about their food choices. Still, this is a place I would revisit if I ever came back to Sin City.

J Mark Anderson

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

Zach Merrill

Great laid back bar in OTR

Braegor Strickley

Mr. Pitiful's definitely caters to people in their early 20's, however it's 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.

Sallie Mascus

Good atmosphere. Good interaction with customers and employees.

Benjamin Geraci

Great palace to party. And people watch.

Eric Kushman

Awesome place....Love it

X P

Fun place to dance and drink. DJ is pretty good

Travis Osborne

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.

Brandon Davis

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

Andrés Contreras Silva

Place is Ok. Music is not so great. They love to play backstreet boys, which I know sometimes is fun, but not every night.

Tiffany Costello

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.

Ashley Lovegrove

Great music & drinks.

Charlie Mischell

If you get wasted and want to dance, this is the place for you

Kaitlyn Woods

Lots of dancing and lots of people. Didn't take too long to get served, considering the amount of people there. It was kinda pricey though.

CharInCincy

Every weekend: this place is HOPPIN!

Joe Kaufman

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.

Keith Lampkin

Awesome classy place, great people and atmosphere for a pre-theatre joint to grab a cocktail and enjoy some jazz.

DrAziz Bahha

I need coupons

Kim Wanstrath

My favorite place to go!! It's like family!!

Lisa S

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

Corey Bagels

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

Garry Andrews

It being a little bit time ago it cool

Jessey Heigh

Super fun

Quentin Davis

Best wings in town.

Jillian Kavinsky

My favorite place to dance in OTR—has great music and the dancefloor is always lively without being too club-y.

Alexander Forrai

Love old buildings

JayD R

Nice spot with a big dance floor. DJ played 90s pop, dance, and hip hop

Eric Holmes

Nah, that ain't me

Dan Merhar

The vibe of this place never quite clicked for me. It's not bad, but not my scene.

Drew Turner

The nightclub would be better if the dj's weren't 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

Josiah Knisley

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!

Server Alert

Good music good environment to hang out with friends

Jackie Gómez

It was ok. Nice crawl.

Matt Monterosso

Sloppiest lil 90s revival shitshow in the city

Lufa's Assistant

You can barely move let alone dance or get a drink

Abinash Patro

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

Jimmy Ruehlman

Free buckets for CSL kick ball teams.

Zachary Zieger

It's 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 wouldn't recommend this bar personally but the drinks are priced reasonably and they have a dance floor with a DJ.

Marty Famoso

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

Call Me Rideout

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

tanvi gupta

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

Jack Harback

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

Jerry Stepp

Everything is perfect...if only they had food and a place for me to sleep.

Eric Clontz

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.

Meghan Pope

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

Tyjae Johnson

Nice atmosphere. Good drinks.

Hugo Wolff

Good mood, nice once a month

George Sharmar

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

Dan Scheid

It's an experience

russell d

Good music, great service

Nathan Jeffries

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

Sharrieff Hall

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

Christin Hooten

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!

Marty Opthoff

Nice bar and the food was good.

Avril Rogers

This place sucks! Jukebox didn't work and the sorry Ass bartender act like he didn't know how to fix the damn thing. Will not be back ever.

Nick Lien

There are a lot of bars that try to be something that they're 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 !!

mark dooley

Staff was friendly and courteous

Omar Navarro

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

andrew zgoda

Uhhh... You won't remember this place if you have more than $50 in your pocket and are wearing breathable clothes

Captain Slave A Hoe

Cool scenery

Ngaame Mesape

Very lively Fridays are are fun here

Tom

The place is always too packed. If you wear glasses they will fog up the second you walk in.

CC HARTEN

Great place for amazing drink prices, Bartenders are fabulous, the DJ plays all the top hits and huge dance floor to get your groove on

Fun time.

Stan Zuniga

Had the most fun here!

Blake Chambliss

Bartenders are awesome and bouncers are very respectful

Jon Smith

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. I'd probably go back.

Isaac Hunter-Linville

Decently fast service even when busy, great for dancing.

Guaran

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!!

Maxwell Smith

It totally depends on what you want here. If you're 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 you're trying to rage.

China Powell

Needs a better DJ great drinks

Carolyn Dye

It's in my neighborhood and love the crowd and drinks are pretty good as well.

ANDREA HALL

Nice place

Patrick Cincinnati

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

Melanie Webster

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!

Greg Martin

Good yuppy spot

Ariel Richey

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.

Evan Schwartz

Have good music and a place to dance on the weekends

Owen Nisbett

Not a bad place

Frank Little

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

Stephen Rabold

Hella crowded on Fridays and Saturdays.

William Wiggins

Really good music and lots of space on the inside

Reece Kaiser

Crowded and overpriced. But, a good atmosphere

Miles Marschall

always fun

Randy Fowler

Very cool environment. Great drinks and music.

t Ward

Had a ball mixed crowd drinks was reasonable

Gus Ricksecker

Great lighting always full. DJ could be better.

Chelsea Lee

Fun bar with a dance floor, great service

Larry Isreal

Crowded but served the purpose. Blue Moon. Buff said

Alexander Vinegar

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.

JJ James

you wait entirely too long to get in to a jam packed bar that smells like sweaty ass and you wait another 30 mins for a drink made by a rude bartender. also the bouncers are rude and not to mention half the girls in the place look 16.

Sam

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. I'll probably visit again.

Evelyn Johnson

Good crowd & music.

Gra Hajas

Name says it all

Sharlene Wilburn

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

Jeff Hovekamp

Good drink selection
