The dynamic team behind Cincinnati restaurant group Ignite Entertainment has breathed new life into the former Eighth & English space in O’Bryonville.
Taking inspiration from his heritage, Ignite founder Juan Imeroni opened Pampas Argentine Gastropub this fall. The eatery offers an approachable taste of the Argentine countryside and the ambiance blends the culture and flavors of two of his other local establishments: Che and Butcher and Barrel.
