Our History
PRE 1933
Our true history begins in 1901, with the start of construction for a bar at the
corner of 6th street and Washington Ave. A loan from the George Wiedemann
Brewing in the amount of $6000 was enough to get Kettenackers Saloon open
for business. Kettenackers was open until 1912, when a new business moved
in, Kohsin Saloon. Kohsin’s operating plan was changed on January 16 1920,
with the enforcement of the 18th Amendment. Selling and manufacturing
intoxicating liquor was put to an end. In 1926, after several raids by the Kentucky
National Guard for bootlegging; the Kohsin story came to an end. 1927-1933
saw two more attempts to open saloons and restaurants, both of which failed.
THE POMPILIO ERA 1933
John Michael Pompilio (The Colonel) was born along the Adriatic coast on May
3,1888. The family settled in Hamilton County, Ohio around 1908. He married
Johanna Colletta in 1910, and started a family. Matthew was born in 1913,
followed by Michael in 1916, and Daniel in 1917. The three sons would become
the workhorses of the family’s new business. On April 1, 1933, Pompilio House
opened for business. The passage of the 21st Amendment, with the help of newly
elected FDR, was monumental to the future of this tiny restaurant.
The colonel landed the first liquor license in the state of Kentucky, LD1. The
Colonel passed, in 1968, followed by his wife in 1974. The boys continued
the family business until May 17, 1982, when a small family from Cincinnati
purchased Pompilios Cafe.

The Mazzei & Argento Families
Coming from Fuscaldo and settling in Over-the-Rhine, the restaurant and bar
business wasn’t new to these families. They owned PFC restaurant and tavern
in Harrison and The Fireside Restaurante in Mt. Healthy. They also operated a
small Pizza parlor in Price hill. The family matriarch was Mamma Rose, she and
her brother Carmen Argento, were raised making homemade Italian meals with
their mother for a dozen or more hungry immigrant workers at a time. The love
of cooking and hosting guests was embedded into her sons, Frank and Pete at an
early age. It was business as usual until 1987, when some producers were in the
Cincinnati area working on a movie called Fresh Horses. They stopped in for
lunch and loved what they saw. They were working on another film, Rainman.
You can still see today, reminders of the 1988 film, located in the rainman room.
From 1982 to 2011 Frank, Pete and Rose Mazzei along with Uncle Carmen, were
able to change the overall experience associated with Pompilios. They added
more traditional Italian dishes, an outdoor patio, one of the areas only Bocce
Courts. Today the second generation of the Mazzei family continue to honor
and improve this rich history started in 1933. The bar has been re-branded,
Colonel Pomp’s Tavern. Nightly bar specials, live music have also been added.
Additionally Catering services have been expanded.
We promise never to forget those important people that came before us. They
have paved the way with a rich history of family, food and memories. We attempt
to honor them everyday with everything we do. From our families to yours;
Welcome, and Thank you!
– MANGIA!
