I have a soft spot for this B&N because of all of the memories I have there. I spent a lot of time there with friends while I was in high school. We would hang out, explore and find new books and movies. The location is perfect. You can have dinner at Deweys, then spend time lounging in this bookstore. Then grab some Cold Stone before heading to your movie! Anyway, this place is huge and I love it! On the first floor along the far left wall is a huge magazine selection. Opposite that is cards, stationary, journals, etc. And in the back is the movie and CD section. Back when I was in high school I was always looking at the newest Broadway musical soundtracks. Nowadays, Im more interested in movies. On the second floor theres a Starbucks - and the tables are along the window and give a beautiful view of Cincinnati skyline! Theres also a decent sized childrens section up there - it has a mini stage area and trains to play with.

The staff was rude, I feel like they discriminate a lot by the appearance of a person. Apparently librarians are more intellectual than a person who is writing books for a living and is doing great. They fat lady that is always in the kids sections is always fussed and is always rude to kids and has the audacity to yell at kids that are not her own. The cashier was also rude and he was in a hurry. I love the books and the options but honestly Barnes and Noble needs to works on customer service, starting with training them again on how to treat the customers that are paying their pay checks.

We had dinner on the Leeve and decided after to get some coffee from the Starbucks in Barnes & Noble. Its probably the biggest one Ive ever been to! Its huge! The service was great and the coffee was tasty. We had a great time reading books and drinking some Starbucks. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a drink of espresso and a nice read.

A large selection of magazines (the arts section is especially well-stocked) thats not cramped and easy to shop. The selection of books is broad but not deep except for best sellers and poplar titles. A good range of gifts, stationery and games along with the requisite café upstairs makes this BN a good one-stop shopping experience.

Stunning views of the Ohio River (which looks nice and non-toxic as it runs by) and downtown Cincinnati. Its also in a convenient location with tons of other stuff to do nearby (theres an AMC Theater as well as the Newport Aquarium). Other than that, its a pretty standard Barnes & Noble.

The employees pretend to be kind, and "with you on your reading journey," but they are some of the rudest human beings. The manager with dark hair spent more time chewing out people around me than she did helping people.

I enjoy this Barnes & Noble location. It has a Starbucks Coffee shop on the second level and wonderful views of the river, so you can have a chat or read by a window and checkout the scenery. Its fantastic.

Worst book store in the United States. Multiple times they "placed a book on order" only to find out that they never did and didnt have the book. Its not a wonder why people turn to ebooks...

Anytime I stop at the Levee for Ice cream, drinks, movie, etc., I always make a point to stop at this book store and see what is available and what is going on inside. highly recommend.

Wow. Can you say poor customer service? The people who work here are terrible and rude. On top of that the book selection is sub par and over priced. Do not shop here.

Great service and being able to order any books for you as well. I love that I can sit down to read and have coffee with a friend or family member.Very satisfying

Manager was very helpful with stem tech questions about the products for sale. He had dark hair with black glasses & was so nice. Great asset for the store.

Awesome view of Cincy, but not a comfortable place to study or do work. No outlets and wifi is not very strong. Needs an update. The windows are very dirty.

its great place to buy books, just not movies, dvds or anything else, "unless you like paying 2 or 3 times normal price for stuff"

This is one of our favorite quiet spots to go with our family. We love that the Starbucks inside overlooks the river.
