Big craft beer selection, both taps and bottles. Large bourbon list with quite a few ryes and tequilas as well. Great music, great service, great bar!

The Lucky Turtle is a hidden gem! The beer and bourbon selection is top notch and reasonably priced. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. There's no pretentious attitude you sometimes get at craft beer bars. My buddies and I had an event here and it could not have gone better. Really fun place to relax, have a few drinks, and meet some new friends. Highly recommend!

This is a cool bar. They always have a nice eclectic tap list filled with craft beers. The bourbon selection is very respectable as well. I love the fact that both beer and bourbon come in different sizes so you can sample more and spend less. They also have a couple video games set on free play. The biggest problem with this place is finding it. It's behind brentwood spirits. Easy to miss from the street.

The best 'hidden' gem in town/Finneytown! Best beers, bourbons and bartenders around. This is not your typical bar. More of a speak easy type place. We love it here! You cant complain about a rotating 23 beer selection either! (More Southern Tier please!!)

Amazing selection of bourbon. Amazing selection of craft beer. The bartenders are so nice and friendly. Great neighborhood joint. The owner is just a great person to hang out with. Thank you guys for putting in the effort in making this the best damn chill spot in the city. I send people there all the time. It's my go-to recommendation.

Stopped on a Saturday afternoon just as they opened. The bartender was going couple of minutes late as he was helping in the liquor store in the front of the building but well worth those extra few minutes wait. It is a bit hard to find but well worth it. 24 taps and a wide selection of bourbon. Service was friendly and personable. Had the Rhinegeist Saber Tooth Tiger Imperial IPA. Very nice easy drinking IPA. Followed by a New Riff single barrel bourbon. Very smooth and tasty bourbon.
