Aside from watching the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills game on Sunday (which is essentially required viewing for all Cincinnatians), this weekend offers plenty of opportunities for fun. Whether you’re looking to get your steps in while supporting abortion rights, or want to kick back with some beer and watch a play or two, the opportunities for a good time this weekend are nearly endless.

If you’re looking for even more to do every day of the week, visit the CityBeat events calendar, which is free to use if you have something planned that you’d like to advertise to CityBeat readers.

Decibel Korean Fried Chicken 922 E McMillan St., Walnut Hills From humble beginnings come great things — especially when we’re talking about Decibel Korean Fried Chicken. Brought to Cincinnati by the crew behind Dope! Asian Street Food, Decibel is the city’s first Korean fried chicken joint. The outfit now has a storefront location in Walnut Hills, adjacent to Esoteric Brewing, but Decibel launched in 2021 as an unnamed fried chicken pop-up in the Kroger On the Rhine food court, where the Dope! stall already was seeing great success. For the uninitiated, Korean fried chicken is an airier, crispier iteration of Southern-style fried chicken. Gone are the browned crunchy bits that stud American fried chicken; instead, Korean fried chicken is sheathed in a lightly golden-brown crust. Biting into Korean fried chicken might be best described as shattering that crust, and the crunch is outrageous. Photo:facebook.com/decibelchicken

Bronson Arroyo Band at Bircus Brewing Co. 8 p.m. Jan. 21 Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo traded his glove for a guitar years ago, but you never know what surprises Arroyo might pull out when performing.
