The Old Bag of Nails Pub - Mason

Let me preface by saying we understand and appreciate what restaurant servers are dealing with and we always compensate good service highly. We were seated and ignored, even when directly trying to speak to servers, so I visited the bar where Brea offered to serve our table. She was already serving 10 tables but promptly took care of us while still staying current with her other customers. She went above and beyond. Food was great tasting, served hot, well priced. We'd stop here again while in the area.

Stopped in after a quick trip to Kings Island. We had been a few years ago and remembered enjoying it. Today was no exception. The space is huge but welcoming with a giant middle bar that was very comfortable to sit at. Staff was quick and friendly. Pretty great selection of quality craft beer alongside the standards. My girlfriend ordered the blackened fish tacos, and the bartender helpfully pointed out that there was a lunch portion on the menu that we overlooked. The lunch size was a perfect amount of food. The tacos are relatively big and super tasty. Perfect spice and quality fish. I had the fried fish Reuben and it was fantastic. Something you don’t often see and I was very pleased.

Very good fried foods. The waiters are decent. Highly recommend the fried pickles, though! The beer selection is great, as well. We tried a lot of different beers, and there were a ton on tap.
