Rosie's Tavern

Sports Bar · Covington, KY

About

The clatter of pool balls and shuffleboard pucks fills the air at this Covington dive bar. Rosie's Tavern draws a mixed gay and straight crowd of 20- and 30-somethings, with regulars who treat it like a neighborhood living room. The beer is cold, the drinks are cheap, and the vibe is unpretentious.

Smoking is allowed inside, so if that bothers you, grab a spot near the door. It opens at 3pm on weekdays, noon on weekends, and doesn't close until 2:30am each night. You can also walk to The Crazy Fox Saloon nearby for another round.

“smoking!!!!!”

When you walk in and leave, you reek of cigarette smoke, which is unfortunate.

“fav bar”

A mix of people and many regulars. The staff and owner are welcoming. What I like most is you never know who you'll encounter. I often go alone because most people are up for small talk and some for deeper conversation. Yes, there's smoking (I don't), but I don't mind because some of the most fascinating people I know smoke. It feels like a local bar and I enjoy having a beer or two with this crowd.
