Florence's Neighborhood Bar & Grill
255 Main Street • Florence, Kentucky
View Our MenuOur Story
Stringtown Bar & Grill is a Florence institution — the kind of place where the regulars know your name, the breakfast is made right, and an ice cold beer is poured the second you belly up to the bar.
In 2001, internationally acclaimed Chef Rick Potter bought what was then Stringtown Restaurant and built it into the neighborhood bar and grill it is today. 25 years later, his passion for food still goes into every bowl of chicken gumbo, every plate of country ham and eggs, every Stringtown Slammer on a Friday morning.
Open Tuesday through Saturday. Regular food and drink specials throughout the week. Karaoke with DJ Roy Sharp on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Come hungry, leave happy.

“Food, service and wine recommendations were fantastic. Price was a bargain. Lobster bisque was best I've tasted outside of Maine. Salad, main, and desert were well paced and a gastronomic excitement!”
“A little unsure about breakfast in a bar, but the food! Eggs cooked exactly to order, biscuits and gravy just right, potatoes perfect, and goetta. Next time we head up to the Cincinnati area, we'll be sure to get breakfast at Stringtown.”
“They had a dinner special and it was phenomenal! We split the homemade Oreo Cookie Cheesecake for dessert and it was yummo! The owner takes pride in the food he serves. We will be back again and again!”
“Brought a group in for my birthday party and we had never been there before and we were well accommodated. The regulars definitely made us all feel welcome!”
“They have done a total remodel of the Angel Room, and it looks fantastic. We had a good group there last night, and as usual, the food and service was off the chart.”
“What a happy surprise! Great food, service and price for deluxe breakfast in this tavern. We'll be back!”

This is where Chef Potter's skills truly shine as he creates custom multi-course menus built around your occasion. Birthdays, anniversaries, corporate dinners, private celebrations. Intimate setup, full wine service, and the same award-winning technique behind every plate.
Available for groups of 12 to 38. Starting at $45 per person. If you want a top tier private dining experience in Northern Kentucky, this is it.
