Favorite selections: Lift, ThunderSnow, Rubus Cacao
Great for lunch and leisurely browsing.
It's a dive, but the pizza is great. Our favorites are the Monmouth and the Wise Guy.
Recommended by the New York Times and the entire Hill family. You'll need a reservation for table seating, but if you go early enough, bar seats are easy to get.
This is where we got engaged! If the weather is decent, grab a riverfront swing or walk on the trails. There's a great playground and lots of activities for kids, too.
Worth getting lost in. Bonus: free admission.
Hundreds of board games and homemade pizza rolls.
Make a reservation for a tasting at Carabello's Analog Slow Bar on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Family friend Austin Childress serves up an incredible coffee experience.
Simply the best. There are lots of Graeter's locations around town--this one is on Fountain Square, right in the heart of downtown.
Another local favorite. Forget the taste of any other chili you've ever had, and think of this as a completely different experience.
Brunch. Do it.
Do you want to feel like you're in the Shire? Of course you do. Grab a drink at Cincinnati's coziest bar.
