By Katherine Barrier

Each neighborhood has its own personality
No one neighborhood in Cincinnati is just like the other. Start on one street and walk a few blocks to a new neighborhood and you’ll notice the changes. Over-the-Rhine is a hip spot for history lovers and revelers looking for a fun night out. Go to The Banks for the sports and party atmosphere, or Mt. Adams for the chill, low-key European vibes. 

Northside is indie to its core, with a love for all things creative and eclectic, and Camp Washington’s industrial exterior is actually brimming with art, and culture and is a little bit funky in the best way (see the Campy Washington mural above). 

In Northern Kentucky, Covington is a mix of its German and Southern Gothic heritage with plenty of great places to eat, drink and enjoy live music. On the West Side, don’t overlook Price Hill’s melting pot Incline District or the family-friendliness of Westwood’s business district. On the East Side, Hyde Park is upscale and trendy and Oakley is a yuppie paradise. But don’t take our word for it; get out and explore all the diversity and uniqueness for yourself.

Longfellow's Other Room
    109 E. 13th St. and Brackett Alley, Over-the-Rhine
    Attached to Longfellow, the bar's Other Room is a separate back drinking spot that has a large list of fluctuating rums. With the vibe of a '50s basement bar — where Desi Arnaz would perform but was managed by David Lynch — the rum curators and bartenders are more than happy to help you find a favorite new spirit from their global collection. The unassuming entrance is at 109 E. 13th and Brackett Alley along Longfellow's strip of side doors and windows, but can also be accessed by walking through the bar's bathroom hallway.
