The Friendly Stop in Glendale is a tiny little bar in an upscale, historic community independent of Cincinnati. The bar is deliberately unfashionable, and refuses to join the rest of the city in many ways. It is cash only, accommodating cashless patrons by installing an ATM. Ohio's anti-smoking laws appear not to have touched the place: last time I was there, it was still full of smoke. The walls are decorated with license plates and there are only a dozen small tables or so.
So why go to the Friendly Stop is you are not a neighborhood pubdweller? For the garlic burgers and onion rings, of course. The best onion rings in Cincinnati are served right here. If you are brave and don't plan to sit close to anyone for a day or two, the garlic burgers are great, too. A garlic burger is a hamburger topped with several cloves of garlic. It is not easy on the breath, but every now and then I feel a longing for one.
