Sightseeing

One of the first things to do is go to the observation deck of the Carew Tower and get your bearings around our non-grid city. It costs $4 for adults and $2 for kids (CASH ONLY). Located in the heart of downtown on a clear day you will be able to oversee much of Northern Kentucky, OTR, Downtown, Stadiums, and beyond! The initial elevator will get you near the top of the building, but there is a second extremely snug elevator for the last few floors. If you are claustrophobic, you can take the stairs for these last few flights. Not good on foggy or rainy days.

Cincinnati and Hamilton County have some of the most beautiful parks. Ault park is a great option for anyone and is free to the public. Hike, lounge, play ball, throw frisbees, fly kites, picnic, enjoy an event, etc. The park is very easy to navigate and offers plenty of parking. There is a central area with 3 large fields each divided by amazingly landscaped flora. During the warm months, watch for small wall lizards seen on the rocks and sidewalks and in the spring visit the cherry blossoms. Mostly seen on the east side in Hyde Park and East Walnut Hills.

A speakeasy that transcends time and space. If you’ve landed outside the two lightly dimmed purple orbs, you are in the right spot. Knock on the door and await to be greeted. They’ll most likely ask if you have reservations, I never have and always managed to be let in moments later. You’ll travel down a vast amount of stairs into an old beer cellar depths below the city surface. The first bar is a beautiful start to the evening, but the real magic lies just beyond in the next room. There you will find live music in what feels like a Hollywood set for the most epic 1920’s bar.

One of the best brewers in town that offer 20+ beers on tap. I recommend getting a flight to sample. Amazingly large outdoor patio and indoor space that is fun anytime of the day. Go early if you want to be the crowd. Also within the bar is Catch-A-Fire, which is an independently owned woodfire pizza company. Meat, vegan, and gluten free options. Celebrate the Cincy originated game of cornhole...if you aren't sure of the rules, ask anyone...they'll know.

Firstly, it’s Arnold’s (not Madonna’s as it is wrongly labeled-very different bar). It’s the oldest bar in Cincy (150+ years) and a great place to enjoy some of the best local beer and listen to live music on the patio, which is covered and heated during the cold season. They serve lunch and dinner too! The owner's of the bar are passionate about street artists and have a well preserved Shepard Fairey mural on the exterior of the building and a JR mural on the interior patio wall.
