Pirates Cove Tropical Bar and Grill is Cincinnati’s Premier Tropical Destination.

Since 1993, we’ve been providing fresh Key West inspired flavors to the Tri-State area.

We offer an experience that the whole family will love! You’ll find weekly specials on our great tasting menu for every member of your crew to enjoy. The kids may even find a friendly pirate roaming the sands. Our refreshing signature cocktails and drinks will keep you cool as you enjoy the summer sun. Our huge, open patio deck overlooks over 500 beautiful yachts on the Ohio River at the Four Seasons Marina. Even as the sun goes down, our live music and entertainers light up the entire Cove! We’re voted “Best in The East for Live Music” and “Best in the East for Patio Dining” by Cincinnati’s City Beat Magazine several years running… Come see why!

From our Key West inspired cuisine & signature frozen drinks to the nightly, local acoustic & party bands on the main stage – there’s a short-term “stay-cation” for everyone who crosses the Pirates Cove’s bridge. We will see you on deck…
Captains orders!
