Pirates Cove Tropical Bar and Grill   

Calling itself "Cincinnati's Tropical Paradise," Pirate's Cove Tropical Bar and Grill is pretty much just that. One half expects Ricardo Montalban to show up in his finely tailored white suit and say something exotic like, "Would you like to try one of our Tropical Appetizers? They're deeeelicious." Nestled amid hundreds of boats and lush green trees, the cove is something of a floating oasis complete with a well-stocked bar (the Red Ale is excellent), live music and a dance floor. Hungry? No problem: The menu offers everything from a vast array of tasty appetizers and salads to wraps and specialty dishes like the Barbequed Pork Ribs or the Island Tilapia and Shrimp. And how about this for another unique enticement: Smokers are always welcome. Entrees: $8.95-$13.95.
