Recently opened bar right next to our reception venue. Great spot for cocktails and light bites
New upscale restaurant located in Kinley Hotel, we love stopping in here for a drink or two!
(Bar) Unique, subterranean gathering place with moody lighting, craft cocktails & live music. Just named one of the best bars in America by Esquire Magazine!
(Bar) Cincinnati’s oldest tavern
(Bar) Taproom located in a historic bottling plant offering house-brewed beers, Ping-Pong, cornhole & TVs. Our favorite is the Little Bubs Rosé Ale
(Lunch/Dinner) Airy brewpub in a converted church, food and drink in the main building with a bar only area in the attached bottom portion (Nellie’s). Our favorite place to take out of town visitors!
(Breakfast) Café serving all day Californian fare. Elle's favorite lunch spot!
(Breakfast) Comfort food in a renovated retro style diner
(Breakfast) Popular local breakfast focused restaurant

(Lunch/Dinner) Relaxed pizza joint with beer and great cocktails. Get the Hot Honey and Pepperoni pizza Detroit Style and thank us later!
(Dinner) Rustic subterranean Italian trattoria, one of our personal favorites. Will need reservations well in advance. Bar seating is available without reservation but fills quickly. Don't leave without a dessert order of the ricotta donuts
(Dinner) Upscale dining at the nicest restaurant in the city, located above another favorite Sotto. Will need a reservation far in advance, but bar seating is first come first serve. Elle's parents had their first date here when it was formerly known as The Maisonette
(Dinner) Best steakhouse in the city! Reservation required well in advance but worth it. We highly suggest another Jeff Ruby’s location “The Precinct” closer to our side of town as well
(Lunch/Dinner) Sleek Mexican spot with festive drinks. We both grew up going here when downtown.
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner) Contemporary diner meals, we go here less than we used to because they started to know Matt by name
(Dinner) Late night Mexican walk up window. Get a Turtle
(Things to Do) Longtime hub of vendors selling meat, produce & other local foods, plus a seasonal farmers' market. Think a smaller Faneuil Hall
(Things to Do) Art venue housing a collection of 67,000+ works spanning 6,000 years, plus traveling exhibits. Located in Mount Adams overlooking downtown. Be sure to check out the new art installation that's a part of the stairs leading up to the museum
