Gypsy’s

This is a great newish bar to join the Covington scene. It’s a bit removed from the most traveled portion of MainStrasse, but it’s worth the walk.
Full disclosure… I have yet to purchase an actual drink from Gypsy’s. I decided to do Dry January so I’ve basically killed a bunch of water here while watching everyone else drink themselves silly. DD, anyone? Anywho, while I’ve been a terrible customer thus far, I have observed (in my stone-​cold sober state) that they have a great selection of beer at really reasonable prices. And to the extent they’ve noticed my obvious lack of drinking, none of the bartenders have given me a hard time about it and will likely appreciate me much more when January comes to an end.
The atmosphere is awesome though. Lots of interesting stuff on the walls, tons of seating, and I’m pretty sure they have outdoor seating in the back (I’ll tell you when it’s not ridiculously cold outside). And the bathrooms aren’t completely disgusting! Yay!
My only real complaint is that they get a little crazy with the music. At some point during the night, someone always seems to crank the music up to the point where I can’t even hear myself think. Maybe I’m just getting old. Womp womp.
So if you can’t find a seat at all those damn bars down the street, come on down to Gypsy’s. I need someone to help me down this pitcher of water!

My favorite Covington bar. It’s non-​smoking, but has a large patio in the back. The bar itself has a great atmosphere, with all kinds of people who frequent it. They have a great selection of beer and good bartenders. If I am going to go out in the cov, this is where I’ll likely end up.

Gypsy’s is a great bar on a great street. My husband and I come in often. They have a good mix of craft beers (bottles and cans), and the bartenders can make a great mixed drink. My husband recommends their Manhattans. The bar is small to medium size with a nice little patio. The décor is nice and casual. They have good live music and a touchtunes jukebox. If you live in Covington or frequent the Mainstrasse area, you can’t go wrong with a drink or two at Gypsy’s.

The new Dubs! Cleaner, friendlier, and a bunch of awesome specials. There are a lot of good people in there to talk to. If you are looking for a good time at a relaxing dive, this is a good place to start.
