Coach’s Corner

Absolutely one of the best hometown bars. Owner is friendly and absolutely understands what makes for a good bar and experience; good drinks, good people, good service. Doesn’t hurt that he makes the best burger in the tri-​state and hosts unique specialty nights throughout the month. Oh… And cornhole! Hidden jewel that needs to be checked off your list. Summer 2016 will see me here on the regular.

An update to all the reviews for Coaches. As of March 2^nd, they are SMOKE FREE !!! We love this place – great burgers, wraps, and fries. Very friendly owners & staff, and a good selection of draft beer. And now SMOKE FREE!

I had never heard of Coach’s Corner before going yesterday. When I got there I realized it was one of those place you drive by all the time but don’t really notice. Based solely on the exterior, you might be hesitant to check it out, but let me tell you, the burger I had was delicious. The meat was juicy and cooked well and it came on a huge keiser bun. I split an order of their hand cut wedges and those were great too. The prices are on point, my tab was 20 dollars for 2 beers, a burger, and a large order of fries. Aside from the food, the staff was very welcoming. Everyone was attentive and friendly. My only gripe is that they allow smoking inside, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. I’ll definitely be going again.

I always overlooked Coach’s because the exterior seems so unwelcoming. The building sits alone and needs a little bit of loving. However, I have some friends who like to enjoy Monday Night Football there so I’ve been frequently it lately.
One major criticism is that they STILL let people smoke there. I do not get it at all. They do have a spot in the back where it is supposed to be smoke-​free (and at times it is), however, those times seem to be when there are not many people up front smoking. Hah.
Nonetheless, the owner/​manager is extremely nice, and he will go out of his way to remember your name if he sees you in there more than once. They’ve got a great selection of beer and liquor, and the prices are extremely reasonable. AND I’ve heard their burgers are amazing. I haven’t had a chance to come for lunch to try the grub, but this is definitely a spot that should not be overlooked for a quick lunch or when you’d like to have some drinks with friends. Just don’t wear anything that needs to be dry cleaned because I can’t promise you’re not gonna smell somewhat like a cigarette by the time you leave. ;)

Great bar! Came here after work for a couple of beers. Inexpensive drinks, friendly bartender. Smokey, but from what I understand that’s typical of bars in Kentucky. The bartender actually talked to me, which is more than I can say of most bars across the country. Best thing was they had all kinds of beer on tap: ipa, local brews, etc., which is way more than I expected for a dive bar.
Definitely more than meets the eye.

Awesome food! People are friendly and a great place to relax! Bombs are ice cold!!!

Stopped in tonight for a burger and beers. Check was less than $ 20 for a burger, app and 3 beers. Get the Coaches Choice burger… hands down best burger in NKY.

All the familiar hallmarks of a non-​Levee Newport bar:
Smoky
Dive-​y
Caters to regulars but friendly to newcomers
Also, you can bring in outside food. TouchTunes jukebox was a nice touch as well.

Ok. Here are the facts:
— parking on the side lot= awesome
— standard bar menu plus a really good choice of meal size salads and wings and stuff
— serve food till 3pm I think
— 10 beers on tap with more than a few local favs
I really liked it here! I had a grilled chicken salad and it was very good. The chicken had great flavor to it and was very tender. I think I had the creamy vinaigrette with it. Thinking about it makes me want to go again this very minute!
As for after the lunch hour, Couch’s Corner offers the cozy atmosphere and friendly service that you would hope for in a neighborhood bar. Going back soon!
