The best places to eat, drink, and play in the Queen City

Jetsetter has compiled an extensive list of the best places to eat, drink, and hang out in Cincinnati, which — thanks in part to recent revitalization efforts — has big-city energy while still maintaining its Midwestern charm.


The author, a Cincinnati native, leads with Skyline (of course) but also points to places from OTR (The Rook) to Blue Ash (Fretboard Brewing Company).


And while food and beer are a huge draw, attractions, shops, parks, and accommodations like the art museum, Findlay Market, Smale Riverfront Park, and 21c Museum Hotel. There’s enough to fill a week’s vacation, but it’s also a good list for locals looking to explore their hometown.
