Over-the-Rhine
The place to go drinking in Cincinnati

- Νυχτερινή ζωή
Over-the-Rhine is the boho heart of hipster Cincinnati. The neighbourhood spans nearly 1.5 miles as it arcs through the northern half of the city. The best way to get there is on the vintage Cincinnati Street Car, which rattles up regularly from the vibrant Riverfront area.
Once there, expect to be inundated with sleek cocktail spots and craft beer lounges. There's Ghost Baby, a subterranean drinking lounge with The Great Gatsby undertones. There's Lost & Found, a mixology hotspot where shakers fly this way and that. "OTR", as Over-the-Rhine is known to the locals, packs in by far the coolest array of night-time venues around.

The Riverfront district is a veritable must for first-time visitors to the Queen City. It brushes along the edge of the Ohio River with its body-packed esplanades and big sports stadiums, creating one of the most popular gathering points in the downtown.
At night, you can gaze back at the twinkling lights of the CBD and get stuck into stacks of bars and grill houses, including the famous Moerlein Lager House, with its very own microbrewery. The whole area – and the bars here – pack to bursting on game days, when flocks of Cincinnati Reds fans emerge from the Great American Ball Park. There are also late-night running tracks and picnic areas all along the Riverfront.

Mount Adams
Cincinnati's historic neighbourhood
- Ομάδα ταξιδιωτών
- Νυχτερινή ζωή
Green and leafy Mount Adams is the arty hub of Cincinnati. It's draped over a series of hills and slopes to the east of the CBD, with the Ohio River to the south and the interstate running to the north. The best way over is by bus. There's a stop on Paradrome Street on the north side of the neighbourhood.
Weekdays in this historic corner of the town are generally quiet. They are perfect for strolling the blocks in awe of the handsome Victorian homes and European-style frontispieces. Come the weekend, things are cranked up a notch as partiers and students flock to the famous taverns of Mount Adams. You can join them by making for St. Gregory Street, the main thoroughfare. Expect to find everything from craft beer dives to hookah lounges there.

Make the Playhouse in the Park your choice if you only have time to visit one theatre during your stay in Cincinnati. One of the first-ever regional theatres to make a name for itself right across the United States, it's located in Eden Park up in Mount Adams, right in the thick of the main arts district of the city.
The stage here gained notoriety for its premiers of plays by the likes of Tennessee Williams back in the ‘90s. It's been the recipient of Tony Awards and other accolades for its championing of performance art on a regional level. Today, that continues and the box office showcases film adaptations and musicals by big-name directors throughout its main season.

Sundry and Vice
Impressive drinks and design
- Νυχτερινή ζωή
Sundry and Vice is a cocktail bar in Cincinnati, with a difference. Nestled right into the thick of the Over-the-Rhine district, it's a mainstay of the city's weekend drinking scene. But folk come as much for the tipples as they do the interiors…
Duck behind the unassuming entrance and you'll be greeted by a curious tin-clad roof and threadbare leather seats, backed up by industrial-chic lighting and shabby-chic brick walls. That's the backdrop for sampling fine in-house drinks such as the Night Cure – a mix of bourbon and honey – or the Garnet – a speciality blend of Jamaican hibiscus syrup, gin, and bitters.
Τοποθεσία: 18 W 13th St, Cincinnati, OH 45202, USA
Ώρες λειτουργίας: Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday from 4 pm to midnight, Fridays from 4 pm to 1 am, Saturdays from 2 pm to 1 am (closed on Mondays)

Both the drinks selection and the music policy are aimed at highlighting and championing female and minority American winemakers and performers from the region and beyond. It's the sort of place where patrons can enjoy a glass of crisp Moscato to long nights of R&B, or settle in for a whiskey sour with a backing track of moody soul.

Findlay Market is one of the main retail quarters of Cincinnati. It's wedged into the OTR – Over-the-Rhine – quarter between all those happening cocktail joints and beer halls, making it a great option if you want to add some shopping to your evening itinerary to break up the drinks.
There's history, too. This is actually the longest continually operated marketplace in Ohio. You'll see that in the Victorian-era architecture that dominates the outside. There are loads of outlets to get through, selling everything from farm-raised veg to organic fruit, pet food to homeware. Some nights in the summer also bring live bands to the space for Music at the Market.
