Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week Returns September 23-29!

25 Greater Cincinnati Restaurants Where You Can Dine Inside This Weekend

By CityBeat Staff on Fri, May 22, 2020 at 3:09 pm

As Greater Cincinnati begins to phase back into something resembling normalcy, restaurants were allowed to offer indoor seating starting Thursday, May 21. And in Kentucky, restaurants were able to reopen both indoor and outdoor seating at 33% capacity on Friday, May 22. With strict guidelines in place to ensure the safety of both employees and patrons, the dining experience is sure to be far from what we are all used to, but many local restaurants are excited to get back to business nonetheless. Remember to be kind, patient and tip your servers well.

Taft’s Brewpourium

4831 Spring Grove Ave., Spring Grove Village
Taft’s Brewpourium reopened with a bang, hosting Thursday night Trivia on their opening evening, and serving their esteemed New Haven-style apizza. Like their sister bar, Taft’s Ale House, the Brewpourium will be taking measures to keep their guests safe, including closing the bar to avoid congregation, offering touchless payment options and using only disposable utensils, cups and plates. The Taft’s Brewing Co. offered an apology to all “beer nerds” for their usage of “improper beer vessels” during this time .
