Tour Overview:
Jump-start your Saturday night on a Happy Hour Tour in historic Over the Rhine! Unlike large bus tours or asking your Uber driver where to get a good cocktail, we offer a relaxing, guided tour and cocktail tasting experience that connects with the local bars and the neighborhood.
Is This Tour Right For Me?
I’m visiting Cincinnati for the first time. This is the perfect Saturday afternoon tour to start your visit! Learn about the history and uniqueness of Over the Rhine, experience a variety of cocktails, learn about each establishments distinctive style and enjoy a nice walk with some amazing people.
What type of bars do we visit? Locations may include an underground 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 from week to week.
Besides cocktails, is food provided too? On this tour, two or three savory snacks are provided and four hand-crafted cocktails. All taxes and bartender tips are included ~ we got you covered
Do we get to select the cocktail? The cocktails are pre-selected to represent a variety of spirits.
I like the option of ordering a cocktail, craft beer or glass of wine along the way. Alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are available to purchase.
I enjoy the luxury of being shown around a new city and knowing I’m safe. The OTR Cocktail Tour is an easy way to maximize your time with a local guide who knows this area. They know the best bars in town and what areas to avoid. You’re in good hands. Our tour guides are friendly, mature and professional! As the tour comes to a close, your guide will be happy to give you plenty of suggestions of things to see and do in the area.
I enjoy walking as long as it’s not too far. The Over the Rhine Cocktail Tour is a walking tour. We walk over the course of 2.5 hours, it is less than one mile in distance. We walk a short bit, sit, and repeat.
I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life, but rarely visit downtown. You’ll enjoy the full attention of one of our fun local guides, who will quickly seem more like a friend escorting you to their favorite spots in town. Local residents are amazed at the revitalization of Over the Rhine. It looks like it has been dipped in the fountain of youth. It’s fun to explore the different cocktail lounges, that you may have never visited. Entertaining out of town guests or celebrating a special occasion? A food and culture tour is even more fun with family and friends!
I like to see as much as possible. On this tour, we begin in Washington Park in the heart of Over The Rhine. We’ll share a brief history of the German immigrants who built this neighborhood from the ground up. Learn why Music Hall is said to be one of the most haunted places in the country and visit the site of the original Miami Erie Canal and stroll past story high murals depicting famous persons and events in Cincinnati.
