Enjoy a curated selection of cocktails at four distinct venues, each offering a unique atmosphere. Locations may include an underground German lager cellar, a city hideaway, an apothecary-themed bar, a wine and jazz lounge, Cincinnati’s first real craft cocktail bar, a 70’s bar, and more. Since we like to change things up, our bars and lounges will vary weekly.

Indulge in three light snacks that pair perfectly with your drinks. All taxes and bartender tips are included ~ we got you covered.

The OTR Cocktail Tour is an easy way to maximize your time with a friendly guide who knows the best bars in the neighborhood. The venues are small, cozy and not always easy to access. Our guests receive VIP treatment and skip the lines. As the tour concludes, your guide will be happy to suggest popular restaurants and entertainment venues nearby.

Over the Rhine is an old neighborhood settled by German immigrants in the mid-1800's. The architecture and the history are fascinating. Relax and enjoy while being entertained with stories of the past.
