✨🙏🌊💙🌎💙🌊🙏✨... Ive been to many similar places....this one is very nice, like anywhere though if youre concerned about prices its simple,drink some before you come, Im not a drinker however I would engage socially if necessary to interact, Im content with nothing to alter my state of mind, been there done that ya know, we are all on different paths and journeys however, our reason for being in these incarnations is to experience, I must say say though my first time here it was welcoming indeed, it might take me more visits to truly feel comfortable enough to dress up, I was inspired very much after a seven year hiatus, I want to add this, the staff, dancers, incredibly beautiful souls, there was a cutie with glasses working sat, definitely was tongue tied in the presence of this beautiful being 😍.. thanks for the lovely time.. infinite love and hugs fellow sovereign souls...Brian ✨💙🙏💙✨

I didn’t get food, but the bartender made our drinks and didn’t use tongs for the fruit or anything, he used his hands when putting the limes in our drinks so that was gross. And the bartender was too worried about going to see the show instead of taking care of the customers, he left us the card reader by ourselves and told us to pay as he LITERALLY ran to watch the show. The building is way too crowded and small, everything was sticky and dirty and it was hotter than hades in there. There was no place to sit so we stood, by the bathroom, and couldn’t see anything. But, extra star for free condoms.

Fun place for the new generations of up and coming lgbtq+ people. Great music and shows. With consistency in their drinks and accommodations. A real diamond in the rough! 🥰

The cutest bar in Cincinnati. Generally a younger crowd. Bring earplugs if youre sensitive to loud music.

Had the best girls night EVER at this beautiful bar on Hamilton Avenue!! The atmosphere is such a ✨mood✨ the drinks are delicious and perfectly priced, but what you will remember about Good Judys is the sass and soul that is flawlessly delivered by the gorgeous queens in drag 😍 I cheered my voice raw, had an amazing time out with the girls, and was even able to send a few dollars in support of raising money for top surgery for one of the performers partner 💖 (Venmo @Calvinissexy) this place is a must see!!

Service and atmosphere was fine. Was honeslty having a really good time until I checked out. They use Square and a tablet so you cant actually see your receipt until youve paid. I ordered 3 basic drinks and 2 shots and my total came to $35. Tell me why a friggin sex on the beach (weak at that) is $9. These were the most overpriced shots Ive ever had - $4 for a thimble of liquid. This is honestly what I have the most issue with. I am not exaggerating when I say that the $8 I spent on two shots gave me the same amount of liquid as half a standard shot at any other bar. Yknow the standard solo cup shot glasses? Yeah, theirs were half that size. And its not like it was strong either - it was really weak!!! I WISH I was kidding. Do yourself a favor and take yourself to The Birdcage or Main Event - at least then you might get a semi decent drink for what youre paying for it. Really regret spending my one night in Cincy at this place. This bar used to be packed 3 years ago before I moved away but theyve since driven away their clientele and its really disappointing to see that theyve decided to take advantage of what little business they still get.

I went to this beautiful place last night , it was my first time going to a gay bar (Im demi/pan) and the bartenders made me feel welcome , the queens are absolutely gorgeous . Im introverted so it was hard for me to initiate conversation , but nobody made me feel akward and for the first time in my life I felt good in my own skin and being around such beautiful people loving themselves and others . As a new person to Ohio I would recommend Good Judys 10/10 ..Love Always ,Weird Oh

Me and some of my friends stopped in for a drag show...we were not disappointed! There is a small stage in the back of the bar; the bar was up front as you come in. The bartenders were very friendly and provided fast service. The decor of the bar is cute, kinda reminds me of my grandmas house, except way more cool. Glad I came and am planning on going again.

Went here for the first time over the weekend for a drag king show.The exterior is adorable, with its pink triangle above the entryway and the glittery fringe encasing the windows only subtly blurring your view inside the eccentric bar.The bartenders are sweet as pie, helpful, and very quick! The drinks are ridiculously reasonably priced - my tab was lower than I honestly expected. You can expect cute drink names, like The Limp Wrist or Daddy, Chill. They also have mocktails for those who prefer non-alcoholic imbibement.Theres only one bathroom, which really isnt a huge deal until the room is packed to the brim for one of their shows and the line extends into the barroom. During the show, it was near-to-impossible to actually see anything that was going on, and the sound system left a bit to be desired. These things could be tweaked by providing extra seating and maybe looking into replacing the soundboard/mixer (or hiring a sound engineer), but it also totally makes sense not to bother. The energy inside the bar is great and everyone has a killer time regardless of what they can/cant see.This is a wonderful place to meet up with friends and sit and chill in the neon-lit cottage-core vibes of the venue. If youre planning on attending a show, be sure to get there as soon as they open at 8 pm to secure one of the very few seats they have available in the back room.

I absolutely adore Good Judys. A classic northside hole-in-the-wall experience, tall ceilings, good people, sometimes close quarters. Beyond the cute decor, the staff and cast are all vibrant and lovely. Im always stunned by the hard work put into this place. Go support your local queer spaces and at least come and see. Take a shot. Say hi.

Pure Excellence! Everyone was very friendly on New Years and I got great advice for my Afro XD. The drag show was out of this world and super fun. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a welcoming experience in Cincinnati :)

Good Judys do not come to this bar, they are very age phobia, they do not welcome the older LGBTI The kicked me out for being and older gay who is a combat veteran If you are older than 20 do not come to Northside to this bar if you are older than 40. They kicked out this combat veteran who has 3 Bronze stats for age

Kinda messed up that a queer space would charge a cover. Gives a bad taste about their intentions tbh
