Arnold's Bar & Grill is a lively spot offering American cuisine with vegan options and live music in a historic setting adorned with art. Established in 1861, it holds the title of the oldest continuously running tavern in Cincinnati. The interior features dark wood walls and vintage memorabilia, including a bathtub rumored to have been used for gin-making during Prohibition.
Went to arnold last night for the first time and we had a blast The food was fantastic, so was the entertainment.The place was packed, but still, the staff did a great job keeping pace.We're definitely planning to come back

Stopped to have a drink and dinner on our way to Louisville. Met a couple regulars that shared the history of the bar which was the main reason for the rating. Loved what they shared and the history of the pub. Our service was great and quick. Great options for a pub. The food and drinks we had were ok.
Taylor E — Google review
Love this place on certain Sat nights when Moonshine Drive, (a GREAT Blue Grass group), is there. They play out in the large sheltered patio area. The first time we went for dinner to hear the group, the food was decent. This time, it was over an hour before we learned they lost our ticket, then when we finally got our meals, only the salad was better than mediocre. If Moonshine Drive hadn't been playing, we would have left. The only reason I would consider making the trip again is to enjoy the music. Maybe if the owner had been there, food and service might have been better. We'll see. In the meantime, you'd better hang on to Moonshine Drive!

The food was unique and very good. Their Old Fashioned is the best ive had in Cincinnati, and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. The outdoor area will be the only place I go to enjoy everything they have to offer, as there is a stage for live performances. The staff are all polite and helpful. This will be one of my new favorite spots

Arnold's is a great place for good food and a cold beer. Our 6 person lunch party ate in the covered outdoor area reached by waking through the long bar. There was a piano player playing blues music which created a great atmosphere. Wait staff was attentive. Well worth the visit. We will be back when we're in town.

There's a reason this place has been around for so long. The food and drinks are phenomenal as well as the service. Sitting in the courtyard listening to live music was the perfect date night!

Really cute historic bar and restaurant with live music. The outdoor seating area has a stage and they had a really fantastic band playing. The food was really good. I tried the green tomato burger, the wings And the fried cauliflower. All were delicious. The drinks were good and it's all reasonably priced. They have vegetarian options and gluten free. It's handicap accessible. There's better parking in the lot behind and then you can cut through the alley. The historic building it's in is beautiful And they've done a good job keeping that speakeasy kind of vibe. It's close enough to be able to walk to eat first tand then walk other events. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended

Arrived in Cincinnati early and the hotel room wasn’t ready. Found this nice little hole in the wall bar and restaurant. Opened up into a very interesting dining experience. I tried 2 different IPA’s which were great. For dinner I had the delicious wings and the meatballs and another beer. When I ordered my 4th beer I asked what the percentage was of this particular beer, at which point the waitress made a rude comment “well that’s going to be your last one” my friends and I laughed assuming her dry sense of humour must be a her “thing”. Nope, she was dead serious, yet continued serving my two coworkers drinks. Shelby would be better served washing dishes or bussing tables until she can understand how her position affects the customers experience and further patronage.

Produce market
Flea & Street Markets
Findlay Market is a vibrant and historic destination in Cincinnati, renowned for its diverse array of vendors offering everything from fresh produce to unique ethnic delicacies. As Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market, it boasts over 50 stalls that showcase the region's culinary heritage.
A historic market that has transformed from a weekend farmer’s gathering into a lively indoor marketplace. Lots of variety, from fresh produce to unique shops — even found a handmade wonton spot. Worth a visit if you’re in Cincinnati.

This place has meats, desserts, produce and even live plants. I recommend going early to avoid the crowd. It seemed to have a very nice traffic flow. It is indoor and outdoor. I hear the bars are very nice as well.

Findlay Market is truly one of the must-see places in Cincinnati. It perfectly captures the city’s history, culture, and community spirit all in one spot. The moment you walk in, you can feel the charm of the past blending with the energy of today — the old brick buildings, colorful vendor stands, fresh food aromas, and friendly local buzz create an amazing atmosphere. This isn’t just a market — it’s an experience. You’ll find everything from fresh produce, meats, cheeses, spices, and baked goods to flowers, coffee, and handmade crafts. The outdoor stalls and street musicians make it even more lively, especially on weekends when the place comes to life with music, food, and smiling faces. What I love most is that it supports local farmers and small businesses. Every vendor here seems genuinely passionate about what they do, and the quality of products really stands out. Prices are fair, and everything feels authentic and full of character. There are also plenty of cozy cafés and restaurants nearby, making it easy to relax with a coffee after exploring. Parking can get a bit crowded at peak times, but arriving early makes everything smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, Findlay Market is a beautiful mix of history, local flavor, and community warmth. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Cincinnati, this place is absolutely worth the stop! 🌿🧺

This place is incredible! They have so much variety and so many different vendors to shop at! My husband and I went on a Saturday morning and it was packed full but the lines went pretty quick. We only had to wait in a few lines for 5 minutes max. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Favorite thing to do in downtown cincinnati. I love how there’s fresh produce and meat. Make sure you park close or in Findlay market parking. OTR is not the safest area. We loved our sandwiches for lunch. Water is only free at the bar, everywhere else is 50 cents. I love all the stores, including a vintage clothing store. Such a fun place in Cincy

Rhinegeist is an awesome brewery. Such a great place for a large group of people. We loved sitting on the rooftop and enjoyed the large selection of beers to choose from. The bartender was fabulous. Highly recommend!

Every time we come into the Cincy area, we make a stop here for some drinks, a view, and a chill spot to have great views. It’s so much nicer to drink from the tap rather than a can. We love the rooftop bar area. It’s is 21+ older. Inside is family/kid friendly. There are stairs to walk and also an elevator as well to access the main floor for patrons.

Rhinegeist Brewery tour was awesome! The public tour was $6 for a tour of the facility with a beverage token you get to choose from multiple options...The waiting room area is super nice you play bags and it's a great lounging area. It a pretty Nice gem in the Cincinnati area. 100% recommend!

LGBTQ friendly, so spacious and flooded with light, lots of game for everyone including kids, and a wonderful rooftop with beautiful views of the city on one side and greenery/trees on the other, you also can see murals from there. I loved that they support nonprofits and make it easy for people to donate. I think they have some food options but we didn’t eat/looked for food, I did see pretzels! Overall, a fun and cool place!

Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, 16-Bit Bar+Arcade is a popular spot that combines a bar with old school arcade cabinets and video game consoles. It's known for attracting a hip crowd in a trendy neighborhood. With its larger collection of games and hip geek chic nostalgia theme, it stands out as one of the city's top barcades.

This is a must visit for anyone. They had a vast array of classic arcade games they will take you back in time. These games were free to play. They also have a good variety of pinball games which cost only a dollar. It had several floors at this location all with different activities, along with a bar on each level. Make time to visit!?

They don't serve food here but you're welcome to bring food in and eat it there. There are four levels but there is am elevator. This place was amazing! The arcade games are all free. You do have to pay for the pinball machines and duckpin bowling, which is so fun! We had such a good time on our trip that we came back the next day!

The listing is confusing until you get there and realize it's the greatest thing invented. This is the listing for Mechanical Pin Company. Over the Rhine barcade with duck pin bowling, 🐕dog-friendly, plenty of (mainly Stern) pinball--very well maintained and friendly staff. It's worth the paid street parking. Five floors of stuff better than any casino.

Sundry and Vice is a vintage-themed cocktail bar with an apothecary vibe, offering inventive drinks in a warm and striking atmosphere. The menu features a variety of crafty cocktails, beer, and wine, including concoctions like the Magical Mystery, Night Cure, and Penicillin. The bartenders don crisp black bowties as they mix up dreamy cocktails from the craft liquor selection.
Very chill yet sophisticated (like all good speakeasies) corner spot with bespoke cocktails, extremely knowledgeable and friendly bartenders and comfortable vibe. Our drinks were excellent and the service spot-on. Their drinkcraft includes regularly trying new concoctions and daily tasting of mixers to assure freshness and flavor. Just top notch!

Sundry and Vice is the union of being that unassuming yet with all the European Sherlock Holmes aesthetics and ambiance that attracts the evening crowd. I enjoyed dropping in to two friendly bartender and a quiet space to catch up with an old friend. I'd definitely consider coming again for a night out.

Great bar in an historic building that once housed a druggist store over a century ago. This place makes some really wonderful mixed drinks and cocktails. They also have a nice variety of beer and wine available. Besides the building and great drink selection, they have an excellent staff to serve you and your friends. They make your time there memorable and engaging. I would not be surprised if they have some of the best bartenders in the city. Visit and get to know a place where "everybody knows your name".

Pretty cool apothecary styled cocktail bar. Very casual vibe. Penicillin cocktail was ok, but didn’t have a great flavor. Was a bit too sour. But overall great for a pre-game, also due to proximity to downtown
Anton S — Google review
A unique theme that blends seamlessly into the truly delicious hand crafted cocktails and vibe. A true gem. When I worked in Cincinnati, it was one of my favorite spots. I no longer work in the area, but I returned recently to S&V for my sister's bday (I suggested it), and it did not disappoint. Still incredible service and cocktails. Great location, in general in OTR, but also close to a parking garage.

This world-class casino offers an array of exhilarating games including slots, video poker, and table games. Indulge in the electrifying poker room while enjoying handcrafted cocktails and live music performances that will keep you entertained all night long.
My first visit. I mainly was in the Poker room. However security was helpful when I arrived pointing me in the right direction. Plenty of parking. When I signed up for my players card, the staff was helpful and friendly. The staff at the Poker room were organized and polite. They took the time to explain to me the promotions going on which I appreciated. The dealers were rotating from the cash game to the tournament going on and were also very helpful explaining what was gong on in the poker room. The hostess were timely and friendly aa well bringing drinks. I'm new to the area and look forward to meeting and get to know the staff better. I had an opportunity to visit the Hard Rock Casino Cafe. They had a brunch of options; from steak, ribs, burgers and a wonderful selection of appetizers. I was in a bit of a hurry on a meal break so I went with the spicy bankcock chicken. Bit was fantastic. Lynn my server was very friendly and a joy to have serve me. It was budy due to the Tyson fight; however service was outstanding. Another fantastic visit, the ribs were fantastic

We went to Cincinnati to buy a car. We are from GA. We just happened to see the casino so we pulled in. We had a great time. We stayed several hours. What we won, of course we played it all back out.

Well as of this morning 31 days of 50 or 60 Freeplay provided by the casino. 2 days of winning very small amount. Only days I did win was when I actually put cash in machine and then added Freeplay. So beware new players and previous players Freeplay isn't money you win on. To come here 31 days straight in the month of October and have 2 days where I even stayed longer than 15 mins is when I put cash in machine first and then added Freeplay. So Freeplay is a scam to get you here and take your real cash. Freeplay isn't worth a penny if you truly have no chance of winning with it. Makes me sick to realize this big casino isn't honest. Well as honest as they make us play with criminal charges as consequences why isn't the casino held to the same standard. Freeplay is a scam to get those who are addicted or just love gambling in the door with said Freeplay. Gets you in the door with no chance unless you open your wallet to these honest fine folks of Hard Rock Cincinnati. I will be making a video to go over this months Freeplay on YouTube. Will add video link after the 1st of November. I feel ashamed to have this casino as a representative of downtown Cincinnati. At least I have a chance at Miami valley in Monroe. Actually turned 5 dollars Freeplay into 120 dollars cash. I've played over 1500 dollars Freeplay at Hard Rock this month and math doesn't lie. This place is a true scam. I would advise anyone to stay away or come once only. You probably will win the first time after that they make sure they don't lose. Freeplay isn't Freeplay if they don't allow you to win with it. Video will be on YouTube in a day

My boyfriend & I are on vacation and we went here for some casino slot play and decided to have a drink and dinner in the Hard Rock Cafe. We were asked what we would like to drink and also ordered lunch. Boyfriend asked the waitress if they knew how to make a half & half, otherwise known as a black & tan (Guinness & Harp). The waitress brought over the bartender who wasn't sure if she knew how to make it. My boyfriend joked that if she wanted, let him go behind the bar and he would make it. After he said to just give him a glass if Guinness. I ordered a tropical margarita. We were both served by said bartender and she said she wasn't able to make the black & tan. (I dont think she knew to use a spoon to add the 2nd type of beer in the glass). We were enjoying our drinks when a man in a suit walked over to us, saying he was head of security and asked if we had a problem with the service? We had no idea what he was talking about. I thought he was at the wrong table. When my boyfriend asked if it was about making the black & tan, & his comment about making it himself, he said yes. Apparently this was considered unacceptable. My boyfriend asked the security man if they were requesting us to leave, and we were told yes, that is exactly what we needed to do. Please note that we are both senior citizens and are 79 and I am 67. I really thought that we were being punked. Never in our life has something as ridiculous as this ever happened. So we proceeded to exit and don't expect to ever return. This was no way to treat a guest who simply wanted a glass of beer made as a black & tan

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is a renowned animal park and conservatory featuring over 3,000 plant species and a wide array of wildlife exhibits. As the second-oldest zoo in the United States, it offers an immersive experience with more than 500 friendly creatures, including the famous hippo Fiona. Visitors can also explore diverse botanical collections and enjoy interactive activities such as riding the Safari Train, experiencing the Conservation Carousel, and watching captivating shows at the 4-D Theater.
I’ve been to the Cincinnati Zoo several times now, and just went again this past Saturday (drove a little under 2 hours from Indy!). This trip I did the behind-the-scenes hippo tour and WOW—such an awesome experience for a big hippo fan like me! 🦛💙 Definitely a highlight of my visits. It was super hot that day, but thankfully they had a giant misting fan that I kept running back to—it was a lifesaver! 💨 The zoo itself is beautiful 🌳🌸 with so much to see. The elephant exhibit and snack area were wonderful 🐘—you can even eat an elephant ear there (yum! 🍩). Plus, we got to feed the giraffes 🦒, which was right up there with the hippo tour in terms of favorite moments. Just a heads up: it’s really hilly ⛰️ and there’s lots of walking 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️, so comfy shoes are a must. My only complaints: I wish the signage was a little better. I couldn’t find the sloth 🦥 (the app wasn’t up to date either), and the parking lot could use clearer signs too—we actually ended up wandering around a lot we didn’t even park in trying to find our car. 🚗😅 Other than that, always a fantastic time here and I’ll definitely be back again! 🌟

We drove three hours to visit and it did not disappoint. It was so green and beautiful. It took us about 4 hours to walk through and see everything. Almost all the animals were out. It is a little easy to get lost. There's a lot of paths that cut through by the map on their app helps because it gave you the exact path you need.

I recently went with my mom for our annual trip, and our last time here was the best time I have had. I do recommend arriving early on busy days and purchasing tickets in advance as there is always a line. However, should you forget (like me), it's quick and easy to purchase on their website when you arrive. I was beyond thrilled to see their Asian small-clawed river otters (even if they were sleeping) and North American river otters! This made my day as otters are my favorite animal. I look forward to the completion of the sea otter exhibit. I do wish the zoo would advertise the otters better; they're not mentioned at all on their zoo map. (If you're wondering, they are located in Siamang Point and Wolf Woods.) The main souvenir shop near the entrance/exit seemed to have a much more limited selection than they did in the past. There are other gift shops per the map, but I kept missing them somehow. Perhaps as more exhibits are completed, they will expand their options. But overall, it was a great day.

It’s a nice zoo, albeit smaller than I expected. They have all of the types of animals you’d see at any major zoo. It got really crowded on a Sunday afternoon, there was a long line just to get in by 2pm, so come early. It has better landscaping and decor than most zoos.

This zoo is gorgeous! Loved every minute of it. So much to look at and keep the kids entertained. A lot of history as well. The hippos were awesome team Fiona! Paid the 4 bucks for my daughter's to feed the giraffes. Zeke was quite the character. I was surprised to see how gentle he was with my 7 and 5 year old. I went on election day so it was packed! However it was pleasant. The elephants and others were super entertaining as well.

Amazing zoo and experience. Easy, ample parking with a short walk, then many exhibits and some with multiple angles and approaches to make sure you see the animals, like the elephants and more.

I visited this beautiful place on a date. It was SO fun 💜 We arrived around 1230-1pm. This was about the time they were feeding the cats and they were all out. I got some amazing pictures!

The Cincinnati Museum Center is such a cool spot. The Art Deco building alone is worth the visit; seriously gorgeous and full of vintage charm. We grabbed tickets on Groupon which made it super easy (saved a few dollars), and the exhibits ended up being way more fun and interactive than I expected (even just for two adults). We skipped the kids’ museum this time, but the other areas had so many hands-on things that I’m sure the children’s section is awesome too. We spent about 3–4 hours wandering around and never felt too crowded, even on a Sunday morning. Parking was a easy. Overall, just a really fun, easy, and memorable way to spend half a day.

The childrens museum is WICKED cool complete with a town; supermarket, house, post office, dump, dentist office ect 🥰🥹 took our 18m.o. our 4y.o. and nana and everyone had a fantastic time. 4 hours very well spent and we probably missed a couple spots. We will definitely be back!

Loved this place. So educational. The miniature Cincinnati setup was amazing especially switching from day to night and trolleys, trains, and cars movie. Oh and the plane circling. I was mesmerized. The ice cream sadly was closed. Just a gorgeous structure. Loved that the original doors were still in use and there were other items from long ago that were used. One complaint. The food at the restaurant was simply awful. $17 for a hot dog, chips, and drink. The hot dog was tossed it was just that bad on a cold stale bun with only ketchup and mustard as options. The hog dog was cold. For that alone I won't return. The staff, except one lady who served the tray at the counter, weren't cordial. She was though. Didn't have plain chips so she watched my tray while I was told to go back out of the restaurant and select some and return. I want my money back! Lol. Stay away from the restaurant.

Located in the vibrant Smale Riverfront Park, Moerlein Lager House is a unique restaurant and brewery adorned with artifacts. It offers a picturesque view of the river from its wraparound patio. The establishment prides itself on being a working microbrewery that produces a wide range of craft brews and serves delectable dishes reminiscent of those found in 19th century beer gardens.
2nd time visiting here and this one was just for dinner only. Made reservations for 7:30 and was seated right on time. Less busy than usual but prom couples were there and made it festive. Those girls must've been freezing! i digress. Ok so back to dinner looked like a pretty expansive menu online but wasn't really. So after looking at everything I opted for the Fish n Chips. Sounded good. Bad idea. So instead of in house battered cod with Moerlein lager beer in the batter they opted for frozen battered cod and pre-fried it first and then just double dropped it. Wasn't bad tasting but it was soggy and grease soaked. Attention Mr.Beer Baron - don't cheap out and use your own batter ! Our waitress Sierra did swap out the fish for the dry rubbed sriracha wings and they were Awesome! Should've picked them first! Plus most places usually have wilted nasty looking celery sticks but not here they were just cut up.Bonus ! Mrs. got the Moerlein house salad with peppercorn ranch and house made croutons. And her entree was the Mediterranean pasta with blackened shrimp or was supposed to be. Had a good flavor however the dish was definitely lacking more of other items that weren't pasta. Not a big fan of the garlic parmesan fries either but the plain fries were good. The place is big and the people were nice and all but next time I'll start with the wings, burger ,cheesesteak or short ribs pot roast! Great views by the river! Dining hack 101 - Try to go there when the Reds aren't in town or if you're into that thing wait until they are and enjoy the excitement!

A Complete Miss – Bland Food & Slow Service Came in on Labor Day weekend with my girlfriend and another couple. We were walk-ins and waited about 40 minutes for a table, which was fine and expected. The real problems started once we sat down. It took 15 minutes before our server even greeted us. She immediately brought water with ice (would’ve preferred to be asked first since I don’t like ice, but not a big deal). What was disappointing was that every interaction after that was painfully slow — we waited at least 10 minutes each time we needed something. When we finally ordered drinks, I went with the Core 4 beer flight, while the rest of my party ordered a cocktail, a lager, and a soft drink. The beers were underwhelming — flat flavors, no distinction — and not worth the 20 minutes it took for drinks to arrive. At that point, we decided to keep it simple and just order appetizers before leaving. We ordered the Mexican corn dip with chips and the BBQ nachos. The first appetizer took 15 minutes to arrive, and the second came out 10 minutes later after the server explained that the kitchen had “dropped them” and had to remake them. Not exactly reassuring. To make matters worse, the food didn’t redeem the experience. The corn dip was bland, soulless, and unpleasant. The nachos were forgettable and lacked any real flavor. The server tried to make small talk, but given how slow and unprepared everything felt, it only made the lack of urgency more frustrating. The only positive here is the location and views which are beautiful. Unfortunately, they’re completely overshadowed by the terrible service, lack of preparation, and food that fails to impress. We were there for 90 minutes, but only spent about 20 of that actually eating. That says everything you need to know about the pace of service. I understand it was a holiday weekend, but by 8:15 pm the crowd was slowing down, and the delays continued. That shows poor management and preparation, not just being “busy.” Overall, this place was a letdown in every aspect. Gave it a try, but won’t be coming back and cannot recommend it

The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a captivating interactive museum that delves into the harrowing history of slavery in America. Situated near the Ohio River, this center highlights the journeys of freedom seekers who traversed these waters with the help of compassionate abolitionists during and before the Civil War. Visitors can explore an authentic early 1800s slave-holding pen from Kentucky, which serves as a poignant reminder of our past.
Absolutely moving museum. It was so detailed and so worth taking your time. It is so important to see a part of history right in front of you. The staff was wonderful, as well. If you have a few hours to spare in the area, please stop by.

Girl at the front desk with shoulder length braids had the worst attitude. What kind of place like this doesnt accept cash? Probably should mention that. And to thw guy that yelled at my kid for pressing the button on the revolving door to go out on the 3rd floor balcony....maybe dont yell at a kid for something they didnt know... or at least learn how to talk to people in a more kid-friendly or personable tone. Exhibit itself was nice though. Kids enjoyed the videos/theater portion. Nice mixture of art/history/exhibits/etc. Great for kids to learn and observe

Wow this experience was awesome. I got to learn about the history of Kentucky and Cincinnati when it came to slavery. The displays would make some people a little uncomfortable but learning the history and seeing anonymous donations to the museum was an experience. We toured every floor, sat through some short films, toured every area we could. It was worth every dollar for the entrance fee. I got to sit in the pray house and listened to a hymn.

We went to the butterfly exhibit. It was really neat! If you’re subject to having heat aversion, I would refrain from going in the heat of the day. The butterflies are most active in the heat, so it’s like a sauna in there. With that said, it was such a fun and educational activity! There’s no touching the butterflies with your bare hands, watching them fly around was just as neat! You could turn it into a scavenger hunt and see how many species you could find. Then walk through the gardens outside. Ticket prices are very fair! They have a little gift shop and an Italian Ice cart as well.

One of the workers pulled out the chair for me and also helped me get my coat on which felt very high in. Our waitress was very nice and made sure to come back quite a few times to check on us (I don’t personally like when waiters do this, as it makes me feel rushed, but I still wouldn’t change my rating). The live music was cool and they have speakers outside so you could hear if you sit out there. They don’t have prices on the menu which sort of stinks. I thought it would be very expensive because the prices were not shown but my drink (Milky Way) was only $9 ( I wish they would put the prices on the menu. My friend mentioned she would have gotten another if she knew it wasn’t too expensive). Wonderful atmosphere. My drink was also amazing; it was amaretto with hot coco.

Worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant/bar. Don’t go here unless you want to be berated and made to feel unwelcome. Some friends and I planned to meet there and catch up as we have not seen each other in a few weeks. Our party planned to spend some time there and buy a few rounds of drinks. We were not in any rush. As soon as we entered, the host was incredibly rude, asked us how many there were (2 because our group was already there), and then rudely commented, “So there ISN’T two of you then,” after we said we were looking for our friends. I thought, ok that was my mistake. But then, the host threw menus at the server and told her to take us to our friends. We found them and there weren’t enough seats for us, so the host came back over, pointed at two of our friends, and demanded that they move. He and another woman (I would assume a manager?) then grabbed a bunch of chairs and threw them down and tossed menus on our table before storming off. This entire time, they were both grumbling and making comments under their breath. When our other two friends arrived, they AGAIN said to us “so you have MORE people?” like we were inconveniencing them by supporting their business and wanting to spend our hard earned money at their establishment. The woman and male host again dragged chairs over and tossed a menu in the laps of our two friends who just joined. At that point, we had felt incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome. Still, we felt like we at least should get a drink since it was clearly such a great inconvenience to them for our party to be there. The least we could do at that point is make their ~GREAT~ troubles worthwhile. I want to be clear, however, that our waitress, Bella, was so nice, sweet, and attentive, so we were very grateful to have, at the very least, encountered a little bit of kindness and compassion after all that had transpired. Regardless, I will certainly never be returning after being made to feel like a burden and unwelcomed at their establishment. Do better.

Perched atop the historic Phelps Building, Top of the Park at The Phelps is a captivating open-air rooftop lounge offering panoramic city views. Nestled within Residence Inn by Marriot Cincinnati Downtown, this unique venue provides an unforgettable downtown experience with its stunning vistas of the Cincinnati skyline and Lytle Park. The bar's Tapas-style menu boasts a diverse selection including favorites like sliders, smokey black-eyed pea hummus, pork belly corn cakes, and a Southern-inspired charcuterie board.
Nestled in a picturesque setting with breathtaking panoramas, the establishment offers a sanctuary of comfort with its plush furnishings and a wait staff that caters with both warmth and keen insight. Though the experience is occasionally disrupted by the presence of tiny insects, their impact is relatively minor compared to the venue’s many charms. It's a small reminder that no place is entirely perfect, but this one comes close.

Spent an evening at this great roof top bar while having a drink. The view of downtown Cincinnati was amazing. They have a band playing on most of evenings and loved the live music they had. The music goes till about 8.30 in the night. This place is popular amongst the locals in Cincinnati and there's always a sizable crowd. Highly recommend this place to spend.

The view is amazing. The ambiance in the evening is quite enjoyable and the drinks are done very well. While we went during cinco de mayo and they had an absurd cover charge to enter on a Sunday to enter to spend more money, it was a pleasant experience when the manager override the door man to let us enter and spend our money to enjoy drinks and the ambiance. Kudos to the female manager for making our experience quite enjoyable.

Went with a group of friends for the evening happy hour to try a new place. We went to cash out, no itemized receipts were given to anyone in our group, then when we all cashed out and tipped, someone in the group asked for an itemized receipt, they said there was a “service charge.” When they sat the itemized down, they informed us it was an auto-gratuity for having a group over six and changed the story. Our bartenders didn’t inform us that they charged an auto-gratuity for groups larger than six ahead of time. Keep in mind, we poured our own waters when we got there, we had no service as we went to the bar to order drinks, had no server, they dropped food off and that was it. To ask for a tip after not providing an itemized, then do an auto-gratuity on top of that seems a little greedy, should be said up front.

We love this place! Every time family comes in from out of town, we make a quick stop. Enjoyable for all the ages! There's a rooftop bar, and 3 other floors with arcade games and a ping pong table (and bars). The bowling part doesn't really even last all that long, so it's perfect for those of us that get bored pretty quick. The drinks are good, there's always a new cocktail being advertised. Service has been good as well. Facilities are clean. I don't believe there is any food, but if I remember correctly, outside food is allowed (but maybe not drinks?).

Longfellow is a stylish yet relaxed lounge in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Opened by native Mike Stankovich, the bar features a striking green, horseshoe-shaped bar flanked by brick walls. The menu offers a thoughtful selection of wine, beer, and dishes like yellow curry and PB&H sandwiches. The cocktails are straightforward and balanced, with creative variations on classics like the Tiki Painkiller.
Update 2: Just tried the Scrap Sandwich, it's A+++ also, good to know they have non-alcoholic beers. Update 1: It's also a great vibe during the day. Old school vinyl records playing, friendly faces, not too crowded. I really enjoyed the Casino Egg Salad plus anchovy. A very cool spot to enjoy drinks, especially when the weather is nice. Service is pretty fast. Their food menu is sandwiches and sides (and still the best pierogi downtown).

The group I was with told me about a place with magical 11pm pierogi on a Saturday night. I honestly thought pierogi ceased to exist once you see the Wayne County sign on I-71. Lo and behold, I sat on a barstool at 10:50 and saw the bag of pierogi. They were stuffed and very peppery. I'd say the atmosphere was just about right up my alley. Nice, but not too stuffy, tame crowd, but still lively. This bar might receive graces that pour out from the church across the street. They also have a pay it forward board. I love that concept, but I did not partake. After seeing that Tim Robinson skit, I didn't want to take any chances.

Great American Ball Park is the home field of the Cincinnati Reds and offers more than just baseball. The park features a Hall of Fame museum, interactive exhibits, batting cages, and a playground for kids. It also has a sports bar and hosts various events throughout the year. Built in 2003 to replace Cinergy Field, it boasts unique architectural features like the Power Stacks and baseball-themed mosaics.
I went here for the first time last week and it is an impressive ballpark. There are 2 scoreboards that show different information. There are a wide variety of food and drink selections. Tons of fan interactions and dun animations on the scoreboards. We also got to watch Train performer after the game which was awesome. One thing I did notice that is different from Progressive Field (my home stadium) is that they do not have any drink or food vendors going up and down the sections. Also ut seemed like every time I went to the restroom, there were stalls that ran put of toilet paper.

The Cincinnati Art Museum, established in 1881, is a historical venue with a remarkable collection of over 67,000 works spanning 6,000 years. It features paintings by renowned European and American artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Winslow Homer, and Georgia O'Keeffe. The museum also showcases an impressive selection of Asian, African, and Native American art.
The Cincinnati Art Museum is a must see. I was traveling and decided to detour in Cincinnati for the night. I came on a Sunday and it's free on Sundays along with free parking. There are tons of beautiful pieces and I appreciate there are a lot more paintings here. The Cleveland Art Museum and the Richmond Art Museum have more artifacts than paintings or other traditional forms of art. I saw many paintings I've never seen before. Most art museums focus on French art but this one focuses more on English, Egyptian, Roman and Asian. A nice change of pace. The museum is perched on the high hills of Cincinnati to overlook a spectacular view. Great museum.

The American Sign Museum, located in a former factory space, is a captivating exploration of the history and significance of American signage. The museum aims to preserve this important aspect of American heritage by showcasing a vast collection of signs from the past. Visitors can stroll through the exhibition space, which houses myriad signs and learn about the art of sign-making at the working neon sign shop.
This place is amazing. Every kind of sign you can think of is in this museum. The signs are arranged by different categories. There is a room that has a movie about the American Sign Museum. It talks about how the signs are made. How the museum acquired the signs. Also the talent artists who were a big part of making the museum come to life. It was very interesting and educational. I wish I had seen the movie first because I had to walk back through the museum to see what they were talking about. It took about 2 hours to go through the museum. Admission is $20.00. Parking is free and the parking lot is small. Go spend a couple hours and see the signs from the past.

It was a nostalgic visit and felt like we warped back in time. There were signs that brought back memories that I seen on television, and are present today that have been modernized.

Neon Sign Museum – A Surprisingly Charming and Relaxed Experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the Neon Sign Museum. Sure, it’s essentially a warehouse full of old signs, but it’s way better than I expected. The facility is well-maintained, featuring a working neon shop and a small theatre that showcases the museum’s creation and the artists behind it. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the signs and their history, which makes the experience even more engaging. What I loved most is how relaxed it is — no strict rules or time limits, and visitors are free to roam around at their own pace without supervision. They always welcome any questions. There’s also a souvenir shop for those interested. If you appreciate vintage signs and want to learn about the craftsmanship behind them, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

Sotto is a basement dining spot in Cincinnati known for its austere brick-and-wood interior and inventive rustic Italian cuisine. It has been recognized for delivering an exemplary dining experience with great food, thoughtful service, and an elegant atmosphere. The well-edited menu features high-quality ingredients treated with the utmost respect, and the servers are knowledgeable about wine pairings. One of their must-try desserts is the airy ricotta donuts served with three delicious sauces for dipping.
Took my wife for our 5 year anniversary. This place checks every box! The service was excellent with everyone making us feel welcomed without being overbearing. The food itself was DIVINE and all cooked to perfection! It is a little on the pricey side but it's well worth it compared to other offerings I the city. It's easy to see why Sotto is on open tables top 100 list! Also, safe to say we'll be back!

After hearing some really good things about this place from locals I made reservations to stop in for dinner and give it a try. I didn’t know what to expect, thus didn’t know it was underground (Sotto means “Under” in Italian). It’s incredibly cozy, intimate, and dark down there with all tables having long candle sticks on them and various tea lights and candles all over to provide ambient lighting. The menu is filled with shareable items, especially a nice list of starters. Their pastas are all made fresh, in-house and have vibrant flavors, with their short rib filled pasta being incredible. Their fire roasted quail was seasoned nicely and cooker perfectly. Branzino is a nice, shareable size and done well too. Save room for dessert, their ricotta donuts were tender and came with some tasty sauces to dip them in. Service was decent, but could be a little more attentive and friendly. I get the feeling they are very popular and busy and know it, so you get what service they deliver. Would I come back? Definitely!

Although we didn't have room for dessert I was pleasantly surprised with a delicious donut in salted caramel sauce. The perfect end to a perfect meal I HIGHLY recommend this amazing experience, especially for a romantic evening! Would definitely return!! Thank you for an amazing dinner 💜💜

Great place for Italian food in downtown Cincinnati. Everything was very delicious. Wood fired branzino was awesome in particular. You can’t go wrong with the goat cheese and hazelnut appetizer also. Fantastic presentation with the asparagus as well. Highly recommended you come here.

The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere in the underground restaurant with an open kitchen and sunken wine cellar was so cool!! The staff was all attentive and double checked with the kitchen when unsure about possible issues with my food allergy and found alternatives for me. They had a great wine list and lots of cocktail and NA options. I definitely recommend having a reservation.

Here’s your polished, professional-quality version of your Sotto review — keeping all your original observations and enthusiasm while refining flow, grammar, and tone. It reads smoothly and naturally for a Google or Yelp post: While visiting Cincinnati, Sotto quickly came up as a must-try spot and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. With a few last-minute calls, we managed to get a dinner reservation, and from the moment we arrived, the experience impressed. Descending the stairs and stepping through a door that feels pulled straight from an old Italian cottage, you’re immediately immersed in a warm, intimate atmosphere. The glow of real candlelight, the rich wood tones, and the cozy layout make Sotto feel timeless. Our server, Paxton, was fantastic attentive, personable, and great at walking us through the menu and making thoughtful recommendations. We started with the Black Kale Caesar, Fettunta, and Oil-Packed Tuna. Each dish was delicious the Caesar had crisp greens with a perfectly balanced dressing and crunchy breadcrumbs, while the tuna served with an egg over toasted bread was a standout. For mains, we ordered the Scottadito (Lamb Rack), Porterhouse, and Pappardelle al Cinghiale, along with sides of Broccolini, Patate, and Asparagus. Everything was incredible. The lamb was so tender and flavorful that it actually changed the mind of someone in our group who thought they didn’t like lamb it was that good. The Porterhouse, sliced and cooked to a perfect medium-rare, was tender and satisfying. The house-made pasta (you can actually see it being prepared in the back) was perfectly al dente, with a delicate sauce that let the wild boar shine. Of the sides, the Broccolini was the least exciting not bad by any means but the Asparagus with Ricotta Salata was flavorful, and the Patate (fingerling potatoes in a salsa verde) completely won me over. I’m still thinking about how to recreate them at home. For dessert, we shared the Dolce (Ricotta Doughnuts), Chocolate Budino, Sorbetti, and Panna Cotta. The Dolce is a highly recommended favorite and was quite good, though not my personal top pick. The Sorbetti was light and refreshing, but the Panna Cotta stole the show delicate, creamy, and beautifully paired with a berry compote. From start to finish, the meal and experience were wonderful. I’ll definitely return and bring friends next time I’m in Cincinnati.

Chicken restaurant
The Eagle OTR is a popular eatery and beer hall located in the historic Over-the-Rhine district. It's known for its perfectly crisp and juicy fried chicken, which is served with classic Southern sides like mac and cheese, spoonbread, succotash, coleslaw, white cheddar grits, collard greens, and tender biscuits drizzled with hot and spicy house honey.
Alright let’s get one thing straight: when a server says “this is my favorite app on the menu,” you order that app. These hush puppies were absolutely delicious. Perfectly crispy and the sauce the came with was a nice blend of sweet and tangy. Location was great, and overall, it felt affordable. If you can, sit in the outdoor beer garden. Prime people-watching spot

My family raved about The Eagle OTR, so the next time we were in town, they took me to try the fried chicken. I ordered the BBQ Pork Burnt Ends as an appetizer and two pieces of chicken with collard greens as my side. First, the burnt ends were tasty. The sauce was sweet and enhanced the flavor of the meat. When my dinner came, I started with the side dish, as I always do. If a restaurant takes the time to create delicious side dishes, you know the main course is going to be great as well. My collard greens were good, but a bit under-seasoned for my tastebuds. I would have preferred more pepper, but I can't ding the rating over a personal preference. The chicken itself was underwhelming. I give it a 3.5 rating while the appetizer and side dish were a solid 4.0. The service was good despite the place being packed with more guests waiting outside. All in all, The Eagle is a nice place to enjoy a meal.

We relocated from Houston to Ohio for work, and The Eagle OTR was highly recommended by a colleague. As a disclaimer I’m from Houston and am accustomed to having a plethora of dining options, of which all are delicious. I ordered collard greens, mac and cheese and of course fried chicken as the menu was limited in protein options. The greens were underwhelming and lacked seasoning and spice. The cheese used for the mac and cheese was far too strong for mac and cheese and needed smoked gouda to balance the flavor of the dish. The fried chicken was under seasoned but fried to perfection. The spoon bread was the star of the show. The atmosphere was welcoming and very chill. The drinks were strong and our server was attentive and friendly. It’s a good place to have a southern meal if you don’t know any better. I was raised on real southern cuisine so for me it didn’t meet the mark

Honestly a banger. I had: Mac and cheese Fried chicken sandwich (ask for extra pickles) Blackberry lemonade It was perfect for two people. This place CRUSHES everything. The chicken? Brined, juicy, double dredged, then fried. Ask for EXTRA house made pickles, they're heavenly The mac and cheese? It's genuinely the best. They use garlic bread breadcrumbs on top and the flavor layering is exceptional. The blackberry lemonade? PERFECT TART LEMONADE! You can taste the lemons not just essential oils with berry syrup.

After many recommendations to come here, I finally was able to grab some lunch while in town this week. I was not disappointed! Looking over the menu, I had my reservations about the "worlds beat fried chicken" claim. And although I may not agree (just yet), I can see why some may feel this sentiment! I ordered the pork belly burnt ends as an appetizer, shrimp and grits and the half chicken order. Pork belly burnt ends 3/5 - tender chunks of pork belly smothered in a tangy bbq sauce and served with ranch. These were decent size bites of pork belly. Coming from Texas (BEST BBQ IN THE WORLD) I was expecting more of a grilled or smoked flavor. These may have been braised or boiled, as the pork itself didn't have much flavor and was carried by the sauce. Shrimp and Grits 3.8/5 - these were pretty good. White cheddar grits that are cooked like you would at granny's house in the south (not the creamy, fluffy, whipped fancy grits like most places). A bit runnier than my preference, but good flavor. These were topped with shrimp, Andouille sausage and a gravy that added some good contrast of flavor to the grits. Overall, very good and if they were thicker I'd move into the 4+ rating Half chicken 4.6/5 - yea... They know how to do some fried chicken! Double dredged and pressure fried to get that crispy skin but JUICY interior. Although you can see the flecks of pepper and seasoning in the coating, it isn't overly seasoned which leaves room for the honey drizzle (or drowning in my case lol). Very well prepared and cooked. Hats off to the chef(s)! Bartender (Carly) was very knowledgeable and attentive. Gave me the menu rundown since it's my first visit and shared her personal faves. Pro tip: she suggested getting the grilled cheese and adding a fried chicken Brest to it! There were a few more menu items I'd like to try, so I will definitely be back when I'm in town next month!

The chicken was by far the best! The succotash was without a doubt the best I've ever had and our server at the bar was great! Now for the bad....the bathroom was filthy with over flowing trash, the restaurant itself was extremely small and not like the one in Indianapolis where there is an abundance of room and the hostess when arriving was extremely rude! We will go back for their food but will grab and go.

Taft's Ale House is a classic brewpub located in a beautifully renovated 19th-century church in Cincinnati. The menu offers gastropub favorites such as smoked wings, soft pretzels with beer cheese, burgers, and fish and chips. One of the standout dishes is the tri-tip steak served in various ways.
Sadly I write this review just a week shy of their permanent closure. My wife and I have been wanting to give Taft’s a try for a while now after seeing pictures of the inside! And I gotta say, it’s a real shame they’re closing! Taft’s Alehouse is located in an old, restored church and it’s absolutely beautiful! Everything from the stairs when you walk into to the giant windows that line the walls! The place is so unique and has so much character! I really hope another restaurant goes in after it. As far as the food goes, everything tasted good but I thought it was on the pricey side for sandwiches and what not but wasn’t out of reason. So, if you’re reading this before November 25th, go! Whether you’ve been before or it would be the first time, seeing the building itself is worth dining in one more time! If not, I’m sorry.

Super excellent venue- fully renovated 1850 St Paul's Church. Venue and location is definitely the biggest attraction, and the beer is also quite good. We visited on a Thursday evening, enjoyed 3 beers, apps, and dinner. The beer was all 4/5, the loaded tots and pretzel apps were good, and the food was also good. We had the Double Smash burger, steak sandwich, and Tritip salad. Each were 4/5. The service was good. We would definitely return again and again, and it would be a favorite if we lived in the area.

We stopped by for the first time on several recommendations online. It was also near our venue. We were greeted promptly but then sat for quite some time until greeted again. It was a late lunch, and they didn't seem too busy. Being our first time, I expected a quick run down of the menu and brief description. The restaurant is in an old church. It's absolutely gorgeous. A grand hall with long, wood, cafeteria type tables. I had a wrap while my husband had a burger. I was certainly expecting more from the price. When asked how everything was, I told her just that. She said a younger crowd typically enjoys it, being a brewery. Maybe it does cater to a different crowd. I'd still think in such a lovely place they would want to compete with the wonderful food nearby.

We visited the Taproom on Friday night and were extremely impressed with the stellar hospitality service provided by a solo bartender covering the outdoor seating area, bar, and tabletops inside the Taproom. Great conversation, jokes, food recommendations, and personality. Our group enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Wings and the Tri-Tip Steak Wrap, which were delicious! We also enjoyed Garden Salads with the Honey Basil Vinaigrette, this dressing is bursting with flavor and worth a try! I can't remember the last time I had French Fries that tasted so good, a crunchy exterior fried to perfection without residue grease. Our group was not impressed with the Tri-Tip Platter steak, which was difficult to cut, tear, and chew despite being medium rare. Regardless, I would definitely recommend and return for the amazing service, drinks, and atmosphere!

Boca is a high-end restaurant known for its stylish decor, full bar, and menu featuring steak, seafood, and pasta dishes. The location is ideal for theater-goers. Chef David Falk has been with the Boca Restaurant Group for 12 years, where he developed his palate and passion for old-world cuisine. The restaurant offers an Italian/French dining experience with a seasonal menu that includes satisfying pasta dishes, well-prepared fish and meaty proteins.
We finally had our dinner at Boca and it was beyond anything we could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth and intention. The maître d’, Nicole, was absolutely incredible! She curated our entire experience from start to finish. She gave us the best table in the house, arranged a custom menu with out-of-this-world wine pairings, and ensured every course was flawlessly executed. Every single team member we encountered made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated. We were congratulated on our 25th anniversary throughout the evening, offered a behind-the-scenes tour of the kitchen, and gifted a beautifully framed and signed menu personalized just for us. Nicole and the entire Boca team turned what was already a special occasion into a memory we’ll never forget. This wasn’t just dinner... it was hospitality at its highest level. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

One of the best dinners I have had in a while. I've tried multiple new foods the other night, including caviar and scallops. The staff made the entire experience amazing.

The scallop and brussel sprouts are featured in the image. The ingredients were extremely fresh, and the scallop tasted like a steak.

This is the restaurant you can always count on to have amazing service and food. We celebrated our birthdays with friends and had a delicious dinner. The audience is beautiful and food outstanding. Make sure of course to have the Pommes soufflés, they are everything they are cracked up too. This evening we tried something new to us the romanesco, it was lightly charred with an incredible sauce and bed of grains. We also had the corn elote which is the taste of summer in a plate, then shared the beef Wellington. Topping the evening off with their not only tongue in cheek catchy names but presentations of desserts.

I rarely rate any place 5 out of 5. But it's really surprised me. First they serve French Mediterranean. Which really surprised me cuz I didn't know what to expect. I sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. She made really good cocktails. She put me on something called paper plane which was really good and told me this whole story about the liquor and how it's a dessert drink in Italy. Food wise I got her recommendations. They are known for their brussel sprouts, which I wasn't the biggest fan of I thought they were just okay. Chicken was the best dish. Great recommendation definitely recommended. I love the whole vibe and the way the restaurant is set up. Huge beautiful chandelier in the middle.

A beautiful place to visit. So much wonderful foliage in pretty displays and it is affordable as well. (Adult price $10) They have a butterfly house you can enter, too. Some advice if you decide to visit the butterflies - wear pink or red, it attracts them. You are not given any nectar to attract them to you, so I would suggest wearing some kind of citrus or lavender scent for an added experience. Have fun!

The Taft Museum of Art, located in a historic building with a charming garden and cafe, is home to an impressive collection featuring works by renowned artists such as Rembrandt, Gainsborough, and Sargent. The museum's significance lies in its designation as a National Historic Landmark and its rich history as the former residence of prominent figures. Visitors can also admire captivating Chinese and French pieces within the collection. With its carefully preserved landscape murals painted by African-American artist Robert S.
This was probably the most exceptional small/medium art museum I have ever visited, and I visit a lot of art museums. Even outside of its wonderful Turner watercolor exhibit, it had an ideal Turner to other junk ratio. The entrance murals were really a remarkable surprise, as were the extensive watch and decorate arts displays. The museum really puts its best foot forward with its display choices, and the period room settings make the experience.

The museum is in historic building with well preserved or restored decor. The collection is not big but has important artwork by Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Gainsborough, Corot and others.

The Taft Museum of Art is a hidden gem in Cincinnati. Housed in a beautifully preserved Federal-style mansion dating back to the 1820s, the museum combines rich history with an intimate art experience. The collection includes European and American masterworks, decorative arts, and rotating exhibitions that are always thoughtfully curated. The museum’s size makes it perfect for a relaxed visit—you can enjoy world-class art without feeling overwhelmed. The gardens and grounds are peaceful, and the historical context (Baum, Longworth, Sinton, and Taft family ties) adds a fascinating layer to the visit. Staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the museum shop and café make for a nice stop after your tour. Whether you’re a visitor to Cincinnati or a local, this is absolutely worth your time. 📍 Centrally located, easy to access, and a wonderful cultural stop.

A really nice little museum of art in a gorgeous historic home! We visited on a Monday when admission was free.

They also have a rotating exhibit space, indigo quilts the day we visited. There’s a cafe and gift shop on site as well. We spent an hour (little kids don’t love art 😅) but it’s probably good for at least two if you take your time. Definitely worth a visit, and if I lived nearby, I’d definitely stop in from time to time to bask in the all the beauty.

I especially love the books and art items as we are a creative family and rather buy things like that than random trinkets. The art here is so full of history it just amazes me how talented they were in a time of limited resources. If they can create like that then I just wonder why can't we do the same or better with what we have now. Definitely coming back to eat as well it just wasn't open when we came.

The Purple People Bridge, also known as the Newport Southbank Bridge, is a half-mile pedestrian-only bridge that connects Ohio's Sawyer Point Park to Kentucky's Newport on the Levee. It offers a picturesque walk from one state to another and is open for walkers, bikers, and runners. The bridge provides access to various dining and retail spots in both Ohio and Kentucky. Additionally, it offers stunning views of Cincinnati and Kentucky, making it a popular spot for romantic walks during sunrise or sunset.
Another cool experience to be in 2 states at once. You can get a great photo standing in Kentucky and Ohio. The purple hue on the steel is unique for large bridges. It’s also a nice walk and a crisp view of the Cincinnati skyline.

This bridge has a loaded history. Go look it up on Wikipedia, you can have a fireside lore night with your friends. Anyway, this is very scenic and it's great to see this used in a 21st century manner. Low-key gives you cheaper parking for a Reds game. You can also rent it out for a private function. Maybe the next time the Vikings come to town, they should come here to prepare for a game. Might also stop them from constantly choking in the playoffs.

The only negative that I have regarding my time here was that it was not posted clearly that you had to pay for parking so I ended up with a $30 parking ticket when I came back definitely wasn’t happy about that but all is well!

It's a cool bridge with a beautiful view. We took a stroll while listening to Frank Sinatra. The only down side was the bridge was closed at the Cincinnati side. It would have been perfect if the bridge was open all the way across.

Public parking space
Washington Park is a six-acre civic park located in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district. It was acquired by the city in 1863 and has a rich history, including being the site of the 1888 Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley. The park features a playground, splash pad, dog park, and space for cultural events and performances. Renovated in 2012, it offers various amenities such as an outdoor bar, underground parking garage, and water playgrounds.
This park is awesome. So much to do on the playground for all ages. There’s a castle with slides and hiding places, large astroturf wobble board-like structures, a sandbox, and so much more. The vibes are good — friendly parents and kids, very diverse families and very clean!

It's a very nice green space with splash pad type skippers located for kids to play. They also have a play area. Cleanish free restrooms. Nice shaded areas with benches to enjoy a picnic. Nice view of the concert hall. Easy to find parking on a holiday. We saw many people doing picnics.

Washington Park is a lot of fun. They have something for almost everyone. If you want a drink, there is a walk-up bar. If you want some food, they have food trucks parked along the outside of the park. If you want to read a book, you can sit alongside (and even inside) the gazebo. There are water features to cook down your dog on a hot day. Maybe most importantly, the bathrooms are clean and functional. Great spot for everyone in the community and the Connector runs right by and has a stop that lets you off right at the heart of it all. Cool spot.

Truly a must see music hall, The tours cost $20 and there are inside and outside tours. I did the inside tour and it was amazing! Love the story of the history of the music hall they even played the organ for us in the ballroom at the end. Ask them to play the organ and they may do it for you.

Wonderful urban Park with a vibrant history. The surrounding shops (including Findlay market) and restaurants make it super easy to have a picnic here. The dog park is also top notch with an amazing water feature running through it for the dogs to play and cool off in. The outdoor bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. An outdoor jungle gym and splash pad round out the offerings. With a little something for everyone, Washington Park is a real gem.

Mita's Restaurant is a stylish establishment located in Downtown Cincinnati, offering a blend of Spanish and Latin American cuisine. The restaurant pays homage to Chef Jose Salazar's heritage and his mother's traditional cooking methods. The menu at Mita's is described as eclectic and farm-inspired, featuring a mix of traditional and modern dishes from both regions.
A lovely place for a dinner downtown! We split four tapas between two people and it made for a perfect dinner. The cocktails were smooth and well-balanced in their flavors, and our waiter’s recommendations for tapas were perfect. I highly recommend the tostones and avocado, the octopus, and the pork belly tacos. The meal left us feeling pleasantly full but not so stuffed that we couldn’t enjoy the rest of our night. Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been wanting to try Mira’s for a long time. I made a dinner reservation online. I got the jicama ensalada, it’s was a little bitter but still fresh and served as a good starter. We got the ceviche de camarones, so shrimp. So good, very fresh a little tart. I love plantains any style but they complimented well. The short rib empanadas we my favorite. The had so much flavor and I loved the sauce. I also really enjoyed the pork belly tacos they were so so tender. The bartender made us a blanco cucumber marg as a dealer choice that was perfect. I will say there spicy marg are spicyyy. You’ve been warned lmao

Juan was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We made the mistake of not being very hungry, because everything was incredible and we wish we were able to try more. We tried the white sangria, tostones y guacamole, jamón serrano, patatas bravas, and tacos de lengua. The tostones and tacos were my two favorites. Their flavors were well balanced and comforting. Overall it was a very nice experience and it makes senses that they are a James Beard nominated restaurant.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spectacular dining experience at Mita’s! From start to finish, this was one of the most enjoyable meals we’ve had in Cincinnati. Every small bite was a flavor explosion; just one after another, each more creative and delicious than the last. The burgers were excellent, the cheeseboard was fantastic, and the empanadas were absolutely to die for. And then came dessert… the cheesecake and cookies were beyond amazing; the perfect sweet finish. As good as the food was, what really made the evening special was the service. Our server, Carmen, was outstanding; engaging, polite, and full of great conversation that made us feel right at home. She truly elevated the experience. As the owners of Grounded All Day Café in Lexington, we know the importance of both spectacular food and genuine hospitality; Mita’sdelivers both in spades. Whenever we leave our hometown for Cincinnati, it’s such a joy to find a place that makes us feel so welcomed and so well fed. Five stars all the way!

Recommend making a reservation. Go to spot for anniversary and special occasions. I’m not a fan of margaritas but Mitas margaritas are top notch! Pork belly tacos are heaven. Always go for the bread with romesco, shishito peppers, hamburguesas, and tostones and guac. Favorite restaurant in the area!

I love every single dish I have ever received. If you think you know what's it's going to taste like, expect to be impressed as they somehow have a way of elevating flavors I didn't know was possible. I dream of the bread and olive oil, I have tried to recreate the shishito peppers, and I will always order the chef's specials. Mitas seems to outdo themselves over and over again. This is my favorite restaurant, hands down the best you can get.

Restored music venue in the heart of Cincinnati. Beautiful park across the street and decent eating within a few minute radius for either before or after a show. The interior is absolutely beautiful with comfortable seating and very good sight lines. Acoustically it was excellent. Once nice touch was the closed-captioning for English. It was up and out of the way. You could either ignore it, or quickly flick your eyes up to it without disrupting the performance. The ease of entry and the ability to get to our seats without confusion was also very good. There is also a reasonable drink/snack selection at the bars.

This is a must see! You seriously have to check this exhibit out. My only issue was that it was a little confusing navigating through the different exhibits. It was hard knowing which was the correct way of starting and navigating through everything. Some prices weren't labelled in the gift shop. And the discount code for weekday admissions wouldn't work. Other than that, everything was great!

The security guards on the 4th floor need to relax. There was candy sitting out in a basket because Halloween was the night before. My pregnant friend saw it and popped a piece of candy and moved on. Few seconds later a man approached her and said "did you take that candy?" She said yes and he the proceeds to say it's for kids and she can't eat or drink on the floor. How about don't have it out then? It was clearly sitting out to see. Same man then proceeds to tell me to "watch where I'm going" as I moved along the floor, as there is artwork on the floor. I wasn't going to step on it, I was walking around it. Being scolded like a child when I didn't do anything is bizarre. It made for a terrible experience.

Braxton Brewing Company is a craft beer brewery that offers a wide range of year-round and seasonal brews, as well as house-roasted coffees. Their specialty beers include unique flavors like honey peach Kolsch and collaborations with Graeters Ice Cream. Additionally, the brewery has a second location at the Party Source called Braxton Labs, where they create even more distinctive beer varieties such as tart cherry beer and milkshake IPAs.
The fact that they not only have a bar on the ground level and an event area on the second floor, they also have the rooftop bar that is incredible! There's shaded areas, tables for sitting or standing, a great view, etc. This is a place you really need to check out. Plus, the beer was delicious!!!

First of all, the beer is stellar. They have something available for every taste. Second, the atmosphere is just as good as the beer. From the taproom downstairs to the loft and rooftop bars, the space is comfortable and enjoyable. Finally, you can order from Dewy's next door. They will bring a piping hot pizza right to you without ever having to leave the brewery, what's not to love about that? It's a real treat to visit Braxton for an evening out.

Skyline Chili is a popular sit-down chain offering classic diner-style dishes topped with their signature Greek chili. The Kids Menu features smaller portions of favorites like the 3-Way and Classic Coney, as well as the Kids Psghetti Special for those who prefer a milder option. The oldest Skyline location in Cincinnati offers a nostalgic experience, with memories of late-night college visits and long lines. Despite its unassuming appearance, the restaurant provides friendly service and maintains cleanliness.
Cincy staple!! Fresh food, quick service and amazing staff. Skyline chili is comfort food at it's best. The taste is great and they do have a few vegetarian options which I love. Chilly is amazing on the spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc) and strangely sweet. Piled on a bed of noodles with massive amounts of shredded cheese, it's no wonder people have hard opinions on Cincinnati Chili. It was my first time trying it and Loved it. This location looks like it still maintains the old school feel... 100% recommend!

The Chili is definitely different. I could taste the clove in the sauce. The atmosphere was very nice . The young lady gave me a Lil sample to try. It's an acquired taste but I wanted to see what the hype was with chili and spaghetti mixed. Here visiting my sister for our mother's birthday.

I've been to many skyline chili locations. Skyline chili is delicious, the food at this location is no different. Wonderful meal. What seperates this location from any other skyline and any other restaurant is our waitress Megan. On Halloween night, we ate at this skyline and my girlfriend was trying to peel the ghost sticker off of our receipt because she liked it so much. Megan G, in the midst of tending to several tables in a very busy restaurant, noticed this, and on her way back through, handed my girlfriend a sheet of the stickers they use on the receipts. Incredible attention to detail and incredible kindness! Thank you Megan!!!!

Urgent Complaint Regarding Cashier Behavior and Overcharge at Skyline Location Dear Skyline Chili Customer Service, I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the service I received at one of your locations. I recently visited [insert the location or address of the Skyline if you have it] and had an extremely unpleasant experience with the cashier on duty. Not only was I overcharged for my meal, but the food was overcooked and inedible. When I returned to the store to address the issue, the cashier treated me with a nasty attitude and was disrespectful throughout the interaction. Instead of attempting to resolve the problem professionally, he became rude and dismissive. To make matters worse, when I asked how to contact the franchise owner or file a formal complaint, he stated that he “doesn’t have a franchise number” and showed no interest in helping me further. I actually have a video recording of this incident, which I am willing to provide upon request. As a loyal customer, I expected better from Skyline. I am requesting the following: A full refund for the overcharged and poor-quality food A formal apology for the disrespectful behavior Information on how to contact the owner or franchise representative for this location Confirmation that this complaint has been documented and investigated

Nicholas Lambrindes grew up in Kastoria, Greece watching his mother cook meals that brought the family together. In 1949, Nicholas filled his dreams by opening a restaurant in Cincinnati over looking the skyline. The restaurant still continues to use Nicholas’ recipes and to fulfill his American dream. The chili comes ‘three ways’ which means spaghetti noodles, chili and cheese. You can order it ‘four way’ or ‘five way’, which only means adding beans and/or onions. I went with five way. The chili is very unique and not at all what I am used too. It is very thin and sweeter, having some cinnamon notes to it. The spice blends makes it come across as a mix of Greek/Indian spaghetti. It was good and I would get it again. Just beware that the plateware that your food is presented on is not nearly big enough for the amount of food your given 🤣 For more reviews, follow us on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok @gbdiningdykes

This was my friends' and I's first time here today. We came for brunch using a reservation on OpenTable. The check in process was seemless and we were seated immediately. The food was spectacular. I got the burger with fries and the shoestring fries were unlike any I had ever had before. They were loaded with flavor and well seasoned. The burger was piled high with fresh toppings and double patties on a fresh baked bun. Beyond the food the drinks were awesome. Everything from the mimosa, to the bourbon espresso martini, and even the wine selection were delicious. Also, don't sleep on the French toast. A friend got it and it was ubforgettable.

This is by far one of the best places I’ve eaten. The food was beyond any expectations we had. Going in, I was a little doubtful: it does not look “fancy” and at five o’clock, there weren’t many people there. By six, it was starting to have a wait, and by the time we exited, it was packed and this was on a week night. The onion soup, crab cake, wedge salad and garlic “knots” were to die for! Our server (not sure of her name but she was awesome: had moved here from NYC) was so knowledgeable about the food and so friendly and helpful. And quick!!

So I messaged Gameworks to see if we had a chance to try to get a group of about 40 people in for later in the evening. We were in town for a soccer tournament and we wanted to spend time with our teams and families. We frequent our local Gameworks so we were familiar with the establishment, menu and games. I spoke to Tom via message and phone he was beyond helpful and was excited to have our party. (Unlike the competitor we called sounds like Bave &Dusters ...ahem who sounded like we were bothering them when we called to ask questions). So Tom set our party up. Explained how to get there and was pleasant to work with. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We arrived and we had a large section reserved for our group. They seated us right away. !!! ❤️ this was awesome ... then our servers Diane and Jerry were beyond amazing and handled our large group great. Then we were given 30 min video game playing cards for our kids courtesy of Tom and Gameworks... thank you so much !! The staff went above and beyond to assure that our group was taken care of and even split our bills with no issues. The menu was great we ordered appetizers , burgers , kids menu and even adult beverages. Everything came out quickly ... hot and delish!!! Thank you again for the amazing hospitality for this out of town group and thank you for taking our group in ,with such short notice !! Highly recommended for families and large groups !!!

Nature & Parks
Lytle Park is a charming 2.3-acre green space featuring picturesque walkways, flower beds, and trees. Visitors can also admire a bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln within the park. For those seeking a delightful evening out, Vista at Lytle Park offers a rooftop bar and event venue with stunning views overlooking the park and the city. Additionally, Top of the Park at The Phelps provides a stylish setting for enjoying drinks and small bites with a panoramic view of the Downtown District.
We have not been to this park since it was rebuilt. I must say they did a wonderful job making a beautiful park worthy of the historic Lytle area.

Saw this place on tick tock. It was about they're brunch. I was looking for a new spot to try. This place totally disappointed in that area. It was gorgeous beautiful vibes decent staff. We had bacon Jerry instead of bacon. My sister could've played hockey with her biscuit. I had the lemon curd pancakes they were lovely.

Wonderful property, the hotel was clean, staff was extremely pleasant. The rooftop bar was wonderful, although cold during my stay. My complaint of our stay would be the awkward layout of the suite. The closest for clothing storage, and the bathroom can only be accessed by exiting the bedroom. Night use of the restroom was very inconvenient as well as dressing when you must leave the room, walk out and through the seating area each time. This was the Terrain 2 room suite, not sure if all are the same layout but this was very inconvenient. Expect to do a lot of tipping, from room service, ice needs, valet, cleaning... Just a lot of tipping. We would recommend this as a romantic, special occasion, long stay business, get away stay. The Lytle was AWESOME! 4 stars only because of the room layout.

Nice small city park known for its rare public statue of Abraham Lincoln without a beard. Pretty flower beds and great spot for an old fashion picnic. Features a child's play set and numerous benches to sit and relax. Close proximity to Taft Museum, arena and ballpark. Though there are public restrooms they seem to be permanently closed. A small jewel in the Queen City's crown.

The Blind Pig is a popular downtown sports bar in Cincinnati, Ohio, known for its modern speakeasy vibe and rooftop patio with stunning views of the city. It's conveniently located within walking distance of Great American Ball Park and Paul Brown Stadium, making it a great spot for pregame gatherings. The bar offers a variety of local craft beers and pub grub at affordable prices. With 10 TVs, it's an ideal place to catch athletic action while enjoying their daily drink specials.
This is a great place for any pregame fun. You go up the stairs to get to it. There are 3 separate areas, an outside rooftop area, the main bar (with a few tables) and on down the hallway is a quieter second bar with more tables. This food is wonderful, made fresh and at a very reasonable price. There is not any tables service, waiters or waitresses, you have to order your food at the bar. They will then give you a number sign for your table, and they then bring your food to your table. The outdoor seating area had wonderful views of the city and adds to the overall atmosphere.

We went during dinner time because the menu looked tasty and affordable while having a roof to seating option. When we arrived it took us a while to find an actual employee once we did we were instructed that it was bar service only so we ordered our food and went out and said on the outdoor seating area. In some area was extremely loud and would not be suitable for a family to eat dinner. The outdoor seating area did have music playing and while not extremely loud it was extremely vulgar. In fairness the food was good and at no point did I find any advertising that would suggest they consider themselves a family-friendly place.

We are from out of town they said they was open late and we don’t have one back home so we thought we would give it a try. I got the Big Pig Burger it was a microwaves burger or a burger that had been sitting in water forever. It was gross McDonald’s would have been better. I was expecting a nice grilled burger with pulled pork on top. The fries were clearly hours old but I don’t send food back. We also ordered wings and for $2 a wing I was expecting amazing things yeah that’s a big no sauce was just thrown on top not tossed and they also have been sitting for hours. This place is open til 2 we got food at 8 I would go back for a drink but I would never eat there again. I have it a 2 stars because service was great and fast but it was clearly fast because the food had been ready and waiting

An interesting place to have dinner. We went because of a review on empanadas, however that wasn't on the menu anymore. I had the chicken sandwich. He was very good with the buffalo sauce and topped with bacon. I also had the fried pickles. They were also very good. They were chips and not speers. Nice crisp breading on them. I would definitely go back

Boyfriend and I stopped for a drink after the Casino while we stopped in Cinci over night in a road trip home. Loved the vibe and atmosphere of the bar, and drinks were good! Only "complaint" is that our bartender was definitely intoxicated and kept forgetting to get us our tab to pay so we could get back to our hotel room for the night. She was super friendly and made great conversation, so our only note is that we mentioned we wanted to get back to our dogs at the hotel. We do definitely plan on coming back in October for a football game, and hope to see our same bartender!

Covington Yard is a unique outdoor venue located in downtown Covington, offering a backyard party experience with artificial turf, outdoor TVs, and yard games. The venue features multiple bars, fast-casual eateries, and picnic-style tables set up in shipping containers. It's an all-ages space serving ice-cold beer, cocktails, wine, and their custom brew, Yard Lager.
Multiple bar set ups and food vendor options that appear to rotate in and out. Drinks in the indoor bar are just a little bit more than some competitors in the area but not significantly so. Lots of tvs and seating, with different arrangements to accommodate all sorts of group sizes and desired seating arrangements. While I'm not a nicotine user I did think the dip pouch cups were clever and believe more outdoor venues should install them.

We recently hosted a live show for Fitz & Whit, Andrew Whitworth and Ryan Fitzpatrick’s podcast, at Covington Yard in Cincinnati ahead of the Bengals Thursday Night Football game — and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Tori and her team were absolutely incredible. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled flawlessly. The event could not have been easier to execute thanks to Tori’s professionalism, communication, and leadership. She truly made it seamless while delivering everything at such a high level. The venue itself was the perfect space for hosting an event like ours — spacious, well-organized, and full of character. Covington Yard naturally creates such a great vibe and fun ambiance that made the night feel energetic, welcoming, and memorable for everyone who attended. The staff at Covington Yard were equally outstanding — helpful, kind, professional, and proactive every step of the way. Their attention to detail and hospitality made the night feel effortless, and Andrew and Ryan were overjoyed with how perfectly everything came together. I would recommend Covington Yard and working with Tori to anyone and everyone. It’s such a special venue with an incredible team behind it, and I truly hope the Bengals and others continue to collaborate with them in the future.

American Legacy Tours offers a range of guided tours that provide an in-depth look into the history and culture of Greater Cincinnati. Visitors can choose from various experiences, such as the Queen City Underground Tour, which delves into the historic OTR neighborhood and includes a journey through a 130-year-old tunnel. The Queen City Haunted Tour uncovers stories of paranormal activity and other intriguing tales from Cincinnati's past.
Enjoyed the Hidden Caverns Tour hosted by Miranda. The tour includes many interesting history and facts of Cincinnati, OTR, breweries and a walk through of underground tunnels where beer was brewed before mechanical refrigerating was available. Miranda was funny and well versed in knowledge of Cincinnati history, whales and chamber pots! And I enjoyed the free glass of beer at Northern Row after the tour.

If you’re even remotely interested in history, beer, or just having a great time, American Legacy Tour Company’s brewery tour is an absolute must-do in Cincinnati! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fascinating, and a ton of fun. Our guide, Miranda, was the heart and soul of the tour — incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about Cincinnati’s brewing heritage. You can tell right away that she truly loves what she does. Every stop came alive through their storytelling — from the 19th-century brewing giants that put Cincinnati on the map, to the hidden underground tunnels that make you feel like you’re stepping back in time. Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town, this tour will give you a whole new appreciation for Cincinnati. It’s not just about beer; it’s about community, craftsmanship, and the city’s incredible resilience. Highly recommend this experience — and if you can, ask for Miranda! You’ll walk away with a deeper love for the Queen City (and maybe a new favorite brew!).

My first visit, I was not impressed. However, this visit was for a gender reveal party. The service was attentive and the bar tenders were nicer than last time. The food was satisfactory- the chicken tenders were burnt and dry. Of course, this isn’t a fancy restaurant. Overall, Mad Tree Brewery was fine.
Debbie R — Google review
We had such a great evening at MadTree. We were initially wondering if we needed to make a reservation since that was an option, but we decided to pop in and check it out without a reservation. It was busy, and the parking lot was full, but this place is HUGE. There was some sort of event happening as well as tons of indoor seating and, our favorite, outdoor seating. Placing the order from your table was kinda fun and then venturing to the bar to get drinks led to a nice conversation with the bartender about the beer options. We each had a flight that we enjoyed. We split the wedge salad which, while it wasn't actually a a wedge (it's chopped romaine), was delicious. And the pizza we shared was great. It was a really fun evening. My only complaint, and it's so minor, is that we tipped when we ordered our food, but I'm not sure what we actually received. We got our own drinks, gathered our own plates, utensils & napkins, and were told to bus our own table when we were done. So, I tipped 25% for someone to carry out a pizza and a salad. That seems silly. Even with that in mind, though, this is somewhere we would eat again.

Needed a place to stop for lunch on the way back from Tennessee to Michigan. It had to have beer (for me) and it had to have vegan options (for my daughter).

We went into the MadTree Brewing and we were told to find a table to sit at. You need to pull up the QR code on the table to order the food. You need to walk up to the bar to order drinks.

Japp's - Since 1879 is a historic cocktail bar located in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati. Housed in a storied building that was once a hair and wig store, the bar exudes vintage-inspired vibes with original back bar fittings, stained glass, and impressive tile work. Renowned mixologist Molly Wellmann took over Japp's in 2010 and has been serving up classic and creative cocktails from the 1700s to the 1950s.
A long time, top notch cocktail bar in downtown Cincinnati (in the Over-The-Rhine area). Nice lounge / sofa seating. Karaoke too (check their socials). They have great specialty cocktails, but can make most anything, including zero proof mocktails (they also have N-A beer). It's 50 feet from the 12th and Main streetcar stop (also called Hanke Exchange Station).

This place has a very nice vibe, however it’s extremely overrated. The food options are limited especially if you don’t eat pork or vegan. The server stop by our a total of 3 times in 3hrs so the unlimited mimosa’s really didn’t happen. Under cooked light skin baked chicken…. With salty veggies and cold potatoes. Not worth $50+tax + mandatory gratuity.

Although one of the rats took my uncle Rick the rats were nicer than the staff we even played twister together and made a new Fanclub called “rats and roaches united” I then ordered chicken wings and under one of them I found a note that said “help” which I’m pretty sure was from an imprisoned chef or ratatouille was being held captive.

(Last visited 10/31/2021.) On our last day in Cincinnati we got invited to a brunch with some of the people we were hanging out with throughout the weekend and they were here! These are my kind of people! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: This place has a lovely, wide-open concept, is lively and pretty big to be honest. It looks like it could double as a nightclub/lounge during the evening and night hours. It's a downtown location so there is no private parking lot so good luck with finding street parking or parking across the street in a lot you need to pay for. The inside is nicely decorated and the music was PUMPING. It's certainly an energetic brunch. Once you come in you're greeted by several booths, but then you make a right and go up a half-flight of stairs to see the bar then the buffet area. Service: This is where they lost a star. Our servers were great, but they were either spread to thin and overworked or just forgetful. We were here for the bottomless mimosas, but many times our glasses were left empty and we had to flag someone down for refills. Other than that shortcoming, everything else was great. Food: As I just mentioned this place does serve bottomless mimosas with a buffet. The buffet has all of your traditional breakfast foods as well as things like shrimp & grits, macaroni & cheese, popovers and so much more. I was very impressed at the selection and the food was delicious. The mimosas weren't juicy at all and were firing on all cylinders. Value: I can't remember what it was for the bottomless brunch, but I feel like $45.00 rings a bell. I could be wrong, but don't be stupid and be prepared. Like, unlimited food AND unlimited drinks... be prepared to spend because it's absolutely worth it. In conclusion, if and when I'm in the area again, I WILL be making a return visit to Copa. I loved it here! If you made it this far in the review, I appreciate you reading. Please do me a favor and head on over to "The Hungry Road" on YouTube and subscribe!

Nice atmosphere, good mixture of R&B/Rap music and the staff was friendly. Now the food NO:( cold, old and stale tasting, the bottomless mimosas were not good either (How do you mess up on mimosas?!

I think her name was Kailey. If management sees this, they should give her a raise.

Went there last night at 5:00. After walking off the elevator and looking around, we were very impressed. That quickly changed. We weren’t sure where to order. My husband ran into the waitress and she said she would wait on us if we were going to order food. We sat at one of the bar type areas overlooking the Reds stadium and the river. There was bird poop everywhere. After waiting 15 minutes, my husband went to the bar to order. No one was friendly at the bar. His beer was warm and my drink came without a straw. He ran into the waitress again who said she would come over to take our order. After 15 more min, she finally came over. She didn’t say anything except are you ready to order. Luckily we had found a menu sitting around. We ordered the hot honey flatbread. She brought it over 10min later. It was a joke for $16 and not hot. It had no flavor at all. The views were awesome but we will not be returning. This place has no management.

Overall okay to good experience. When we walked in took a minute for someone to come out. Tents are warmer than outside but still dress in warm clothing if you’re going. Server was friendly and drinks and food are good. Cost to value of what we got wasn’t great but your paying for the “vibe” and location. Every team member we interacted with was friendly and made an effort to make us feel comfortable and help improve our experience.

This place is the best rooftop view in Cincinnati! Awesome view of downtown from one side and a great view of the river and bridges from the other side. Great spot to watch the sunset plus the vibe with all of the string lights is perfect! They have a huge variety of drinks at a reasonable price and a wide variety of food, although I haven’t had any food. A great place for date nights or to bring friends from out of town to impress them with how pretty Cincy really can be!

Staff were friendly enough to get a drink from, don't expect any help deciding on the types of larger offered. Great view of the city and river, enjoyable spot to be at.

The view is great and it’s worth stopping at the bar just to see the city. The drinks were pricey but normal for a hotel bar. They started playing music around 8:30 and it got very loud and the vibe significantly changed so I would go early if you are looking for a relaxed vibe

Manager refused to play the stanley cup finals during game 5 on a Saturday night. Instead they had on a documentary and an XFL game. When politely asked if she could switch the channel, she completely dismissed me, and did so again when my aunt and friend asked. One of the rudest people i’ve ever come across in the service industry.

This place has a beautiful view. The flat beard was awesome. The drinks fell short at first as the bar staff wanted to do a twist on the signature AC ICED TEA. Since there are only 3 ingredients, this girl wasn't impressed. Stick to the ingredients and the customer will be happy. Additionally, the servers on the floor weren't very personable. They stayed huddled up most of the time. I would like to return to give this rooftop gem another try. Maybe weekends are better here but a midweek after work drink fell short.

Nestled in Covington, Kentucky, the Mainstrasse Village Association invites you to explore a vibrant neighborhood steeped in 19th-century German heritage. This charming area boasts colorful architecture and a lively atmosphere filled with bars and restaurants that cater to every bourbon lover's palate. With over 700 varieties at the renowned Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar, visitors can indulge in everything from classic blends to rare vintage bottles while enjoying live music on cozy patios or engaging with friendly locals.
Lovely historical area. We walked around and felt completely safe. The glockenspiel tower was a nice bonus even though it was only built in 1979. The Goose girl fountain in the median is also a nice stop. The snow today was perfect for reminding us of Germany.😊

Mainstrasse Village is such a nice place to visit. My wife and I were there for the 127 Yard Sale - The World's Longest Yard Sale. We stayed in an awesome B&B nearby. The 127 Yard Sale was awesome. We really enjoyed it. There were tons of vendors and they were all so nice. The local area is so cool with plenty of historic buildings with lots of shops and restaurants. Can't wait to go back.

MainStrasse Village was within walking distance of our hotel and recommended by the hotel because of most establishments being closed on Monday for Memorial Day. We had a nice walk over to the German village and really appreciated the eclectic array of restaurants and old buildings and architecture. The area seemed friendly and there were lots of shops we would like to revisit when they reopen. We saw several homeless people in the area which made me very sad, however it was a safe area.

Love this neighborhood. We set up here for the longest yard sale, and it is a joy being here. We then had lunch at El Rincon Mexican Restaurant and loved it!

This is the second year I have set up as a vendor for the Northern Kentucky y'all Pride Fest and I have a great time. There are lots of different shops and restaurants down here to shop from also a playground for the children to play. It's a good place to come and walk around for the afternoon.
