Otr Bagel - Cincinnati

I would just say the best bagel i have ever eaten Updated from previous review on 2023-11-21

I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I could ever have anything that tasted like smoked salmon again in my life, but I have found the place. I had a lox sandwich with vegan cream cheese that was heaven. They also have a number of other vegan options which are clearly marked. They made a mistake on my order, and credited my card with appropriate apologies. Update: quality of food was much less than before. Disappointed, esp for the price. Won’t rush to go again. Too bad, the bagels themselves are quite good. Tater tots were cold and had a “stale” taste. Vegan goetta was also cold, not sure it was even cooked. The “lox” was much less tasty, it seemed like the process of smoking the carrots had been rushed or something. Updated from previous review on 2021-02-28

I never thought I would find something that tasted like smoky flavors in my life, but I stumbled upon this place. I tried an ox sandwich with vegan cream cheese that was heavenly. They offer a variety of other clearly marked vegan options as well. The staff made a mistake with my order but quickly rectified it with apologies. However, I recently revisited and found that the quality of the food had significantly decreased. I was disappointed, especially considering the price. The tater darts were cold and had a strange taste. The vegan goetta was also cold, and it seemed like it was not cooked properly. The "Loxe" was also not as flavorful as before, and it seemed rushed in the smoking process with the carrots. Overall, I was not satisfied and won't be returning.

Pockets Bar is a fun and unique dining experience with delicious food. I especially enjoyed the gluten-free bagels and will definitely be returning.

"Incredible bagel sandwiches! Cozy atmosphere with welcoming staff. We stumbled upon this place without reading any reviews and we're so glad we did. Went on a Friday morning at 9am and it wasn't too crowded. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a garlic bagel and it was amazing. Will definitely be returning to eat here again!"
