You can feel it in the air ... Best Of Cincinnati® 2023 is almost here! In a matter of hours, the people will know who voters have decided is the crème de la crème of Greater Cincinnati Arts & Culture, Eats, Shops & Services, Music & Nightlife, City Life and Sports & Recreation in the city.
Results for the 27th-annual Best Of Cincinnati® awards will be announced at 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 29 on CityBeat.com. Results from the online election will be listed, along with a slew of carefully selected staff picks, in CityBeat's glossy print edition of Best Of Cincinnati®, on stands starting this week.
Best Of Cincinnati® is both a hard-fought contest and a celebration of the world-class treasures found in our everyday lives in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. There's no better way to celebrate that than by attending the Best Of Cincinnati® party, where guests get to sample, well, the best food and drinks in Cincinnati.
The Best Of Cincinnati® Celebration will be held Thursday, April 6, at The Phoenix in downtown Cincinnati from 5:30-8:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $50-$55 and VIP tickets are $125. This is a 21+ event.
At the Best Of Cincinnati® Celebration, there will be lots of food and drinks, selfie and photo ops from SelfiEsteem, a pop-up barber shop from Bellevue Barbershop, live music from Ethan & Joey, a visit from Bengals mascot Who-Dey and an interactive, on-site activation from our friends at Jolly Plumbing (yes, you read that right!). There will also be raffles, swag bags and VIP samples from The Culinary Gang, featuring local celebrity chef Christian Gill and foodie and former WWE announcer Greg Hutson, in the VIP lounge.
Golden Tickets will also be sprinkled throughout swag bags, giving guests the chance to win concert tickets and gift cards. We’ll also be releasing the 27th anniversary Best Of Cincinnati® issue, a 150-plus page glossy magazine packed with details about the best people, places and businesses in this city, as selected by our readers and staff.
The Phoenix, 812 Race St., Downtown. You can buy tickets for the event and see more information here.

1301 Western Ave., Queensgate
The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal is one of Cincinnati’s most admired gems, filled with exhibits dedicated to history, science and wonder – but if you haven’t checked out the gift shop, you’re missing out. This shop is filled with items that will delight both kids and adults, spanning from science-based STEM kits and unique Cincinnati history
ephemera to space-themed jewelry. Nicole Koenig, retail operations manager, tells CityBeat the CMC gift shop is unique because it’s constantly changing. “We are consistently looking at new fresh ideas to offer
our guests,” she says. “We buy from local and national vendors, so it’s a good mix of what makes [the] Cincinnati Museum Center and Union Terminal special.”](https://media1.citybeat.com/citybeat/imager/u/golden-s/15352675/cincinnatimuseumcenter_hb_3.5c50abcdb3d39.png?cb=1685470968)
