My favorite local restaurants

These are my favorite restaurants because they are non-chain and very unique.

This place has been there for a very long time and hasn’t really changed in at least 30 years! The food is very good and the jazz band that is elevated behind the bar is always very good! It’s a great place to go sit at the bar, order appetizers and listen to the band!

Blocks away. More on the casual dining side but they have yummy food and their pizza is one of my favorites made in a brick oven. They are on door dash but I go pick up the pizza there myself a lot.

This place is in Newport (one neighborhood away) but it is worth checking out! It is so funky in an old pharmacy with old collectors items of all sorts! Food is really good! The baked Brie is amazing!

Beer & Wine bar

Super quaint beer and wine bar. Very friendly owners. Dogs are allowed so if you are not a dog lover this might not be for you. Try the sriracha maple bacon on a stick. Amazing!!!

Brewery

Fun place! They don’t have food but you can order pizza and food delivery there! It’s a fun place! You can take your dogs on the first floor but not on the rooftop which has incredible view of downtown Cincinnati

Farmers market

This old Market is located in Over the Rhine in Cincinnati and if you can go on the weekends you will not regret it! Amazing fresh food, fun restaurants around there and a fun place to gather food and have a $7 wine tasting at Market Wines or a beer outside...in the summer you can sit outside with a beer and listen to live music.

Breakfast

Perfect for a good homemade breakfast. It’s not fancy but the food is really good! Frank is cooking and his daughter is serving. It’s a family business and a great place to have a very reasonable but good breakfast!!!

This is in one neighborhood over and is fantastic! A very nice atmosphere with husband and wife owners who are very personable! They struggled to open it financially and are now ranked on the top of the best restaurants! A nice story! You can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on the weekends too! Prices are reasonable and the food is outstanding!
