The band we're going to see isn't punk, so maybe it depends on the type of music playing that night. Thanks for the info, though.

I was there recently to see a friend's band (not punk) and it was still a pretty rock n roll crowd. We went straight there from dinner at Bella and we were definately overdressed, but I can fit in anywhere they are serving IC Light on tap

^Everyone complains that nothing is going on, jeez pick up a frickin city beat. There's plenty of nightlife. I guess downtown could be a little better.

Or get out of your cars and walk downtown. I'm sure you'd find something to do.

Anyone been to Aqua on a night when they have a dj? It's not quite like the above clubs (dancing and girls trying to look like 3rd rate models) but it's a cool scene for sure.

It doesn't make a good atmosphere for deep conversation but I'd recommend checking it out. I went on a Wednesday at maybe 9:30ish. They have x amount (can't remember) off on sushi and martinis too.

Where is Aqua and do they have anything besides seafood? I have friends that love Sushi but I just don't like seafood in any form.

Aqua might not be your thing then. I could be wrong but I do think it's mostly Asian seafood of sorts. Their website wasn't working when I tried to check it ( www.aquacincy.com) but here's what the Enquirer had to say: "Menu: Sushi plus Asian-European dishes like Kobe beef carpaccio with enoki mushrooms or sesame walleye with plums, leeks, tofu and lemongrass ginger broth. The menu changes frequently."Even if you're not into having dinner you could go with your friends for drinks later in the evening.

Yeah. I have a Japanese grandpa and I've stayed with him several summers and was forced to eat rice and seaweed, raw fish along with Miso soup for BREAKFAST. Almost everything they eat is either from the sea or contains tofu. No thanks. I love me some Chicken Teriyaki and noodles though. : D

Aqua, has stuff besides seafood and sushi. The time I went there I got a delicious pork dish. I'm pretty sure they have beef and chicken meals too. I higly recommend Aqua, the place is awesome.

Blue Wisp gets second wind
Four music lovers buy it from estateBY STEPFANIE ROMINE | CINCINNATI ENQUIRER
November 9, 2007DOWNTOWN - The Blue Wisp Jazz Club, a fixture on the Cincinnati music scene for more than three decades, is staying open and staying put, say its new owners. A quartet of Cincinnati businessmen - who have known one another since their days at Walnut Hills High School - bought the club, at 318 E. Eighth St., downtown, for an undisclosed amount last week, after outbidding two other groups.

Ugh. It's so annoying when you go to a meat market club and they run out of a good Dom Perignon vintage '85 rose magnum.

Dude, you should really just go. Like, tonight. It's not like you need to know the secret code to get in.
I imagine they'll have that at Speakeasy.

The reason I'm asking is we are trying to make plans for about 10-12 of us and I don't have time to go during the week. Just want to get any kind of info before we actually all go Friday night.

Blue Wisp headed up an octave
New owners want to make club an upscale destinationBY JANELLE GELFAND | CINCINNATI ENQUIRER
December 9, 2007DOWNTOWN - It's 8:30 p.m. on a Wednesday night, and the Blue Wisp Jazz Club downtown is filled to near-capacity. The internationally known Blue Wisp Big Band is heating up the place as it has for nearly 28 years, with standards from Kurt Weill's "Speak Low" to Vince Guaraldi's "Christmastime Is Here." "It's good vibes here," says Amanda Brackmann, 20, a University of Cincinnati student. "I think they're wonderful."

The Blue Wisp was notorious for serving underage when I was underaged. I think I successfully ordered a Heineken there when I was 16.

"And there's no guarantee the jazz club will remain downtown. The sale was for the name, liquor license, piano, sound equipment and fixtures. The building's lease has expired, and the partners are in negotiations with landlord North American Properties."
I wouldn't mind seeing this move up to Main St. and start to get a real entertainment district solidified. It would be cool to have a Beal St. type vibe going on Main St. I was too young to see it when it was in its prime.

I just want an entertainment district where people from all over say if your in Cincy you need to check out Main St. - Something that will put entertainment here on the map. A diverse atmosphere that offers something to everyone.....

The entertainment district belongs downtown on 4th or 7th. Keep it close to Fountain Square but not too close. Keeps the clubbers a couple of blocks from family friendly Fountain Square. Would be a great mix and offering. Let OTR evolve into a neighborhood with more businesses created for the residents.

I know this is against the rules, but I'm actually okay with it not being downtown. I think it could do very well on the Ludlow strip or perhaps Northside. It could do fine in Mt. Adam's too, but yuck. Actually, I think a great place for would be in Walnut Hills near the Greenwich. Toledo's great Jazz bar for years and years was Rusty's and it was entirely out of the way in an industrial park in South Toledo. (for Cincinnatians that would equivalent to parts of Roselawn or Norwood).
