Ali's Bar and Grill

Ali's Bar and Grill, tucked on Camargo Road in the heart of Madeira, Cincinnati, offers a lively neighborhood spot where classic American comfort food meets a welcoming bar atmosphere. Founded by Alison Tepe‑Guy and Dan Bowman in memory of their son Ali, the restaurant honors his favorite dishes, such as the mushroom Swiss burger topped with melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato and a house‑made sauce, and the bacon‑cheese burger that has become a local favorite. Guests can also enjoy the cantina‑style chicken, crispy poutine‑style fries, street tacos drizzled with Thai vinaigrette, and generous plates of hot chicken wings. The menu is complemented by a rotating draft beer selection, ice‑cold beer can specials served in frosty glasses, and handcrafted cocktails. Inside, the interior blends reclaimed wood tables, neon signage, and a covered patio that lets diners soak up the Ohio sunshine while listening to upbeat music. The staff remembers regulars by name, often surprising them with complimentary appetizers like shishito peppers. Private parties are welcomed, with the team handling every detail from décor to custom menus, making it a go‑to venue for birthdays, reunions, and community gatherings. Ali's earned the “Spirit of Madeira” award in December 2022 for its community involvement. Open daily from 11 a.m. until late, the price range stays affordable, with most entrees between $10‑$15. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a night of craft beers, Ali's Bar and Grill delivers friendly service, hearty meals, and a true sense of local pride.
