What's the Blue Wisp's busiest night ... what's the night to go when you have someone from out of town?

If you're into Big Band you simply can not miss the Blue Wisp Big Band on Wednesday nights. $10 cover. If you're not into that it really just depends on who is performing and also what night of the week (obviously).

On Friday me and some friends hit up Via Vite for happy hour from 3pm to about 6pm. We then went over and got some food at Potbelly's...then went up to Budahkahn for another round of drinks. Then we headed on over to Arnolds for some more drinks and their courtyard. The live music wasn't the best so we then got on the bus and headed for Northside Tavern where we spent the remainder of the evening. All in all another GREAT Friday in the Nati'.

Here are some pics from Via Vite's rooftop terrace... 1.  2. Rock Bottom's outdoor seating is amazing.  3. There were some guys playing chess on the square...taking advantage of the nice weather.  4.  5. So far I've been to Via Vite twice for happy hour...and twice we have run them out of their cold stock of Moerlein OTR Ale.

Triage at the Blue Wisp tonight!BY RANDY SIMES | URBANCINCY
May 1, 2008DOWNTOWN - Triage will be at the Blue Wisp Thursday, May 1st. I can't think of a better way to kick off the new month than by enjoying an UrbanCincy night at the Blue Wisp with one of Cincinnati's best and a Cammy Award winner. Triage is made up of Eugene Goss (vocals/percussion), Billy Larkin (keyboards/vocals), and Marc Wolfley (drums). The show will start at 8:30pm and has a $8 cover charge (minus your $3 UrbanCincy discount of course). Blue Wisp (GoogleMap)

Happy Hour Cincinnati: McCormick & Schmick'sBY RANDY SIMES | URBANCINCY
May 2, 2008DOWNTOWN - This week's highlighted happy hour is McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant. Doesn't sound like a good happy hour place right...WRONG. Happy hour at McCormick & Schmick's is M-F from 4:00pm - 6:30pm. They also have an evening happy hour from 9:30pm - 11:00pm M-Th. Plus the location is just about as central as you can get - directly across the street from Fountain Square. Their happy hour menu (PDF, 77kb) consists of a variety of food. It includes the fish as you would expect, as well as, a number of other items for those not into the whole seafood thing. The main item they're known for is their 1/2 lb Cheeseburger with fries for only $1.95. McCormick & Schmick's generally doesn't do specials on their drinks. With that said, the bar has a good selection of drinks and the typical cost for a beer is $3.75. There is also a two drink minimum during happy hour times, but they do not necessarily have to be alcoholic as soft drinks count towards your two drink minimum. McCormick & Schmick's21 E.

Alright fellas, I need some help. I'm going to the cyclones game saturday night with a lady friend and we need something to eat and do afterwards. She doesn't drink though. I have no idea what's in Cincy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of stuff do you guys enjoy (food and also entertainment wise), and what kind of price range?
|
|
|
|

Food wise I am willing to try almost anything. As for price, nothing that is going to make me file bankruptcy please. More or less just a sit down place where we can have a conversation but that is nice and has good food.

I'd highly recommend JeanRo for the dinner after (won't be too bad price wise if you aren't drinking). Also, around the corner Twist is nice but its mostly coctails, but a nice place to hang out.
If'n your in the mood for a ton of meat, Boi na Braza brazillian steakhouse is a good choice as well.
For a non drinker, not sure what I'd recommend after, there's lots and lots of cool bars and clubs in up in OTR, but thats all dependent on how comfortable she'd be there.
Via Vite on fountain square would also be a great choice.

Well, it looks like my source was wrong. The game on saturday isn't in cincy but I'd still like the info for stuff to do in/around the city.

Well if we're just talking generally then this should provide a good deal of information for you. This is a post I did on UrbanCincy a while back, so it doesn't quite include everything since new places have opened since then. http://www.urbancincy.com/2007/07/new-downtown-cincinnati.htmlAs for recommendations, you can't beat the Jazz offered at the Blue Wisp. Twist and Havana Martini Club both offer nice lounge type environments. In the mood for more of a dance club then check out Bang Nightclub. There is a lot more shopping than people think, and more places are starting to stay open later. If you're into art you can't miss Final Fridays in Over-the-Rhine. Essentially it is a huge gallery hop on the final Friday of every month. Second Sundays on Main provides a cool atmosphere as well. In addition to all of this, there is always something fun to do on Fountain Square. I think tomorrow is the first night for movies on the square this year. If you're ever interested in finding out what's going on at Fountain Square...simply check out http://www.myfountainsquare.com/fsqforecast and use the calendar on the right hand side to select the day you're interested in. The Contemporary Arts Center has lots of fun/unique stuff going on all the time as well. This is a place where you can get a bit of that New York cosmopolitan feel with artists mingling around on opening nights with DJs and wine/drinks. You can find their calendar of events here - http://www.contemporaryartscenter.org/calendar. These are just some things to do in Downtown and Over-the-Rhine only. If you wanted to know more about other parts of the city then we could be here for days.  Luckily we're always here to help.

Just a heads up...on Fridays me and a group of friends usually hit up Via Vite for happy hour and use that as the starting point for bar hopping the rest of the evening. Anyone is welcome to come along.
We usually get to Via Vite around 3pm or 4pm...if the weather is nice we sit on the rooftop terrace, if not then we just do something inside. Just post something in this thread if you're interested in joining sometime.

Question for Cincinnati Peeps in the music scene. I found a few mentions via the search function but figured this might be my best place to ask anew. Do any of you guys know anything about a band from Cincinnati called Moth? Their only presence on the internet is a myspace page http://www.myspace.com/moth that hasn't been touched in months. If anyone is curious, Revolution is a great song. If anyone knows anything about these guys, if they are still around or whatever, let me know.

^ Yeah, MOTH is an awesome band!
I haven't heard them live in a while ... how'd you find out about them?

Fortunately for me, I bumped into thomasbw yesterday as he was on his way to a party on the McAlpin Building's rooftop deck (one of the coolest atmospheres in town by far).
Open bar and from what I was told the live music was the nation's #1 gay artist. Pretty cool...especially the open bar. Thanks Brad.

I have seen MOTH several times at Bogart's, Annie's and the Jammin' On Main music festival. They are loud and definitely rock, I have not heard them mentioned in a while though.
