The votes are in: CityBeat’s Culture Maker of the Week is Maddi Phillips.
Phillips was nominated by Megan L. because “Maddi is a bartender at Fretboard Brewing and Trivia Host at Quan Hapa. She always takes the time to talk excitedly to her customers and guests, spreads infectious joy while doing her job well and makes sure everyone is comfortable and taken care of. Her trivia nights at Quan Hapa on Wednesday nights are a staple for many in the community each week and she never fails to brighten a day!”
Cincinnati culture doesn’t just happen. It’s built every day by artists, musicians, chefs, organizers, performers, business owners, neighborhood champions and wonderfully weird people who give this city its personality.
That’s why CityBeat has Culture Maker of the Week, a contest celebrating the people who make Greater Cincinnati more vibrant, joyful, thoughtful and alive, whether they’re working center stage or quietly making things happen behind the scenes.
Nominees are submitted by you, and our editors pick the three up for voting. Nominate a Culture Maker here!
