If you're in town on Thursday and you want to get a head start on dancing, show up here at 8:30 for the beginner lesson and a social dance at 9:00! $5, cash or Venmo accepted.
We frequented this bar around dances on Thursdays, before we ever started dating. Ask for a mule - they make the mix in house, and it's delicious!
By far and away our favorite brewery in Cincy, this brewery specializes in sour beer, and often has live music. If you're taking some home, look for the extra thick sticker - the brewers can the bottom of the barrel, which ends up tasting like an alcoholic smoothie, and sell it only at the brewery!
One of our favorite Italian spots in the city! We highly recommend the Elena and calabrese pizzas, whatever soup chef is serving, and the caesar salad. There is a second location in Montgomery with the same menu, if you need something a bit further north!
This is an iconic cocktail and jazz bar in Cincy, and we've had many a date night here, dancing to whatever live music we can find (and some of the time, that's the Hot Magnolias!)
Great activities for groups out downtown - duckpin bowling, pinball, and a rooftop!
This is our favorite late night food when we're out downtown. Trust us, get a turtle.
Tacos, enchiladas, spicy margaritas... need we say more? One of Rachel's favorite jobs in college, this place serves killer tex-mex with a great vibe. We recommend it for brunch or lunch. Don't skip the salsa trio - the corn creeper salsa is incredible!
This is one of our favorite brunch spots in the city. Fresh cinnamon rolls in cast iron skillets. Yum.
Free, yes FREE, and a great place to check out incredible art. Kids welcome.
Super cute conservatory located in Eden Park, which is incidentally a great place to walk around! Mirror lake is one of our favorite spots in the city.
Killer wooded trails that Rachel loves running in, but we recommend shoes with good tread.
Check https://coratrails.org/trails before coming here for a bike, hike or run - the trail closes with significant rain. Again, don't come here without really good tread on your shoes!
