Saeso
I always love a unique and delicious cocktail bar anywhere I go, so it was super nice to find another one in Cincinnati.
Saeso is a tiny cocktail bar that has amazing drinks and atmosphere. Grace and I discovered the bar on Google Maps, and were extremely happy with our experience there. We both ordered the Condeza which has mezcal, tequila, Cointreau, and spicy honey.
The mix of the spicy honey with the orange flavor was perfect and it was a refreshing take on a margarita.
The second time I stopped into Saeso was for a quick drink while waiting for our table to be ready at another restaurant. I decided to order the Spa Water Spritz which had gin, cucumber, mint, citrus, and fizz. I loved how refreshing this cocktail was and the mint and cucumber combination was amazing.
One of the best parts about Saeso is that it’s a sophisticated bar in the front, and the back has a taco truck and an amazing patio that has a whole different vibe. Pata Roja Tacos is a taco truck on the back patio that brings a fantastic atmosphere to the bar.
Grace and I decided to get a drink and try the taco trunk a few nights ago and we were not disappointed again. We began with a cocktail that we had seen being made in our trip to the bar a few weeks before – called the Saeso Sour. This drink has rye, lemon, and a Malbec float.
I have never loved the flavor of whiskey, but I was very surprised by the taste of this drink. The Malbec float added a delicious and fruity contrast to the rye which made for an enjoyable drink.
We ordered chips and guacamole, chicken taco, and two vegetable tacos per the cook’s recommendation. The chips were so delicious and tasted homemade, and the tacos were pretty good as well.
Everything was very authentic-tasting.
Saeso is one of the best places to either grab drinks inside or have a margarita and tacos on the outside patio. There is always a crowd at Saeso which creates a fun atmosphere no matter what night of the week it is. The cocktail list changes constantly, so I am definitely excited to keep trying the different and tasteful drinks coming up.
