I guess I should say that this review is for older people who don't like bars just because they're dives or grungy. If that's what you want, and cheap beer also, that's cool, and consider my rating to be 3 star instead of 2 stars. For you older folks who still like to go out and have a good time, I'm not sure I can recommend this place. Yeah, the beer is cheap (though not that much of a selection, for a Cincinnati-area "pub"), and they have a very good selection of bands. But my experience was that the place was dirty, smelly, too small (unless you're willing to hang outside away from the music), and doesn't have enough parking. Also, I found the people working there to be unfriendly. Maybe that's because they didn't recognize me or because I was old enough to be their father ... either way, it didn't help things. Anyway, if you're a young person looking for a grungy dive, this is the place. Otherwise, you're more likely to put it into the "I don't get it" category.

Stanley's Pub is A-OK! Located right in the heart of Columbia Tusculum this charming little dive bar is welcoming and has a killer line up of live music nightly. We used to come and watch my friends band play here all the time. This place brings back fond memories. There is nothing like drinkin' cheap beer and listening to live music. I certainly wouldn't want to do this every day, but when the mood strikes--Stanley's is one of my go to's!

This is my kind of bar. It doesn't take itself too serious while still meeting all the expectations of a great dive bar. The bartenders know how to make a good drink and always have recommendations on hand for shots and mixed drinks. Live music pretty much nightly. I love that this place has a huge outside patio area with pool table. Any bar with a working pool table is a win in my book. I haven't been here yet during the warmer months but I can't wait to enjoy many a beer out back.

I've seen this place before, driving by and it never even crossed my mind to ever go in but this time I went in with a group of people and maybe that's what made me feel comfortable. It's a true neighborhood bar that hasn't been updated probably since the neighborhood started. I had one drink: sprite and vodka because that was all the bartender could come up with when I asked her to make me something sweet. Well, she actually suggested vodka and cranberry which I feel is the drink a bartender offers when they really don't care. They do have an awesome patio but as everything else, I wish it was a little more updated, maybe even just adding a splash of fresh paint to the fence surrounding it would transform the place. I did notice two stages, one inside and one outside where local bands play and one of those bands started playing right before we left. I am just not a person that listens to bands but some other people could appreciate this more.

Great dive bar with live music every night. Several good beers on tap and a nice patio in the back. Happy hour pricing until 8. I'm a fan!

Good music, strong drinks, kinda smells like a fart. Five stars. Will definitely be returning.

I like Stanley's a lot and have been coming here for over 10 years since I used to play here in multiple different bands. They are getting 4 stars from me, but don't go thinking that it's a nice bar. It's dirty and dark and can get crowded and loud and bumping into people and elbows and spilled drinks and hippies....but it is the perfect little grungy live music dive bar and really captures the essence of the Cincinnati music scene. They have local bands and out of town bands and definitely lean towards jam bands and reggae bands but it is a great place to drink and listen to music. If you get tired of the loud band or the crowd you can head to their great patio out back that is bigger than the inside. It's fully fenced in with a high fence and plants and seems kind of like a wonderful hidden garden when you first stumble out into it. The pool table is outside since it won't fit inside. There is also a grill and sometimes there is a cookout offering hot dogs and hamburgers outside. Sometimes they even have bands play outside with a stage at the back of the patio and even have mini music festivals here. At the bar, you can order your standard run-of-the-mill drinks and macro beers but they do always offer a couple craft or local beers as well. Currently they have a wonderful bar staff and while they have had some lousy bartenders in the past, right now you can stop in and get served by a friendly and attentive bartender.

When you close your eyes and picture a neighborhood bar... This is probably what comes to mind. Cheap beer ($1.50 bottles during happy hour) and the basics when it comes to cocktails. The back porch is amazing! They could use some nicer furniture, but the landscaping and tall fences make you forget that your so close to civilization. I couldn't stick around late enough to hear the live music but they have some impressive acts coming to town judging for the posters on the walls! Check this place out of you want to get away from your usual spot.

This is the quintessential neighbor hood bar. By that I mean, not the best place, but definitely not the worst. This is the type of bar I love. They have all the basic drinks and a few local cool things to try. The bartender was super nice when we went in and the place isn't too big so they remember what you are ordering. I wish I could have stayed longer; they had a local band playing and I would have loved to have hear them jam. Next time that I am in the area I will definitely go back. I wish it wouldn't have been so muggy...they have a cool looking patio with an outdoor pool table!

Typically a $5 cover and nightly live music. It is a small house with a bar and has a large backyard patio area that is full of hippies, musicians, and a pool table. No food. It is usually fun and relaxed.

Came here for a reggae concert. I'm not a huge reggae fan (I'm like, sure, I can dance to reggae and it's fun, but not more than that). However, it seemed like the people who know about reggae thought that $12 for 5 different bands was a really reasonable price. The outdoor patio is great! Just such an easy going vibe about it, very relaxing! The indoor was nice because of the air conditioning but otherwise not special at all. In fact, I'm really not very likely to come here just for a drink inside because it felt a pretty dirty - a typical dive bar I guess. Would definitely come back if there would be another outdoor concert evening of a genre I like. Otherwise, I'll leave the dive bars to the real dive bar fans!

Great local bar. After a tough softball game, this a great place to grab a drink with your team and fans. The bottle were some of the cheapest prices I've seen: $1.50. We went on a Wednesday night and they had live music from a national tour. The artist was really nice and sounded great warming up. I will definitely go back - probably after a softball game.

Stanley's is a great little bar with much more to offer than you may expect. Stanley's offers live music every night and many of the bands are worth the small nightly cover charge. ($5-10). The drinks are cheap at Stanleys which is always a bonus but the real draw for me is the back patio. A huge patio with plentiful seating and a colorful crowd make Stanley's a great spot to unwind. There is also a pool table which is a must in my opinion. Plus playing 30 min of pool approximately burns the calories of the beer you are drinking (blame Men's Fitness magazine if that's incorrect).

This place maybe the epitome of a dingy dive bar but honestly where else can you go and get a $2 beer on a Friday or Saturday. The drinks are always cheap and staff are friendly. A lot of times there is live local music and as long as you get there a little earlier on those nights there isn't cover. This place definitely isn't for everyone, but if you are willing to accept the laid back atmosphere and enjoy reasonably priced drinks you will enjoy yourself.

Ahh Stanleys. Living in Columbia Tusculum, Stanley's is my go-to place for an after work drink. While it is partly for the convenience of being within walking distance of my apartment, I really do love the charm of Stanley's. It is definitely a dive bar, with cheap drinks, a cozy atmosphere, a low-key vibe and an eclectic crowd. The bartenders are great and there's a great patio out back. There's also live music pretty frequently, with both local and out of town bands. There is usually a cover with the bands, which I'm not always a fan of, but if you're into live music it's a great spot to catch a show. Definitely worth a visit for the experience...and some cheap drinks!

I ventured here on Sunday to see my friend's band play. They travelled all the way from Minneapolis - so I definitely give props to Stanley's for bringing in out of town bands. The place itself was low key, small, cozy with cheap drinks. They had $5 pitchers of PBR and I always take this as some sort of personal compliment to my homeland - PBR, the featured Wisconsin beer!! Love it. Anyway, my one and only complaint is that they allow SMOKING in the bar. This was such a disappointment. I hate smelling like smoke the next morning and was looking forward to experiencing a smoke-free evening in Ohio, seeing as the state IS smoke-free.

Nice friendly dive.

For some reason I hate paying a cover charge when visiting this tiny music venue in Columbia Tusculum, even if it is going towards gas money for the numerous jam bands they bring in from surrounding cities. Stanley's is probably one of the best places to spot nappy dreadlocks on white boys, jam out to the latest hippy rock and cram a lot of warm bodies into one small spot. The view of the small stage area is blocked in many places by support beams but the place is filled with friendly people and the courtyard is large and welcoming. In the winter they put up a 10' x 20' shelter with a propane heater for smokers to huddle around.

Friendly staff, a decent jukebox, and a long happy hour (4-9pm) make the smoky hole-in-the-wall, Stanley's Pub, a fine place to grab a pint for Columbia-Tusculum residents.
