    We stopped in on our night before flying out of CVG and were so pleased to have a relaxing evening sipping wine and enjoying the beer cheese pretzel plate before a delicious dinner. The service was fantastic and everyone was accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend Tousey Tavern for anyone stopping off in the area!

    First time visiting. I ordered the fried chicken and it was great. Prices are reasonable and to our surprise it was 1/2 price wine Weds. we will definitely go back and try more of their menu. Happy that places like this are still around and have loyal customers.

    We love Tousey! Have been for dinner many times and tried brunch today and it did not disappoint! Great, relaxed atmosphere. Little upscale while also laid back.
