Arnold's Bar and Grill
(Nightlife - Live Music)
210 E 8th St, Cincinnati  45202 • 513-421-6234
        Description: At this spot, you kind of expect Jimmy Olsen to walk in, accompanied by Lois Lane. Lots of reporters and courthouse types hang out at Arnold's Bar and Grill. Originally built in 1861, it's the oldest "saloon" in the city. This historic eatery serves Italian-American fare at great prices. Live music several nights a week.

Blind Lemon Cafe
(Nightlife - Live Music)
936 Hatch St, Cincinnati  45202 • 513-241-3885
        Description: MOUNT ADAMS. Cozy, warm, and adorned with album sleeves and model trains, this venerable pub is appreciated by locals for its pleasant patio (with a firepit) and stellar lineup of local jazz, acoustic, and blues musicians every night of the week. Having survived the Mount Adams nightlife scene for over forty years, the establishment pleases with comfortable environs, friendly staff (the barman has been here since 1971), and occasional specials on signature cocktails. Jimmy Buffett, among other well-known names, played here early in his career, so make sure to stop by and catch the next big thing.

The 16-piece house big band plays every Wednesday night, and a mix of vocalists, quartets and other jazz masters round out the rest of the week's roster. The downstairs bar is the perfect accent to a great night on the town.

Bogart's
(Nightlife - Live Music)
2621 Vine St, Cincinnati  45219 • 513-872-8801
        Description: For quality live music acts at prices everyday Joe's (and Jane's) can afford, visit Bogart's on Vine. This venue has been part of the Cincy music scene since the mid-70's, proving they know a thing or two about picking the cream of the crop. Past performers include Toadies, Relient K, TV on the Radio, Tegan and Sara, X, Agnostic Front, and Brand New.

Chez Nora
(Nightlife - Live Music)
530 Main St, Covington  41011 • 859-491-8027
        Description: COVINGTON. With a chic rooftop patio that offers superb views of the Cincy skyline, this hip, relaxed bar and restaurant is a Covington favorite and worth the short trip across the river. Try an acclaimed cosmopolitan or one of the 20 varieties of scotch at the 40-foot downstairs bar. If the weather allows, order a meal on the patio overlooking the Main Strasse – Steak Nora, sesame-seared salmon, and vegetarian pesto pasta are a cut above typical bar food. Most nights, live jazz provides a welcome backdrop to animated conversation on the terrace.

1200 Jillians Wy, Covington  41011 • 859-491-5388
        Description: COVINGTON. Offering a multitude of entertainment and dining choices, this complex of restaurants, game rooms and dance floors tries hard to please everybody all of the time. Start off the evening with a cutthroat game of skeeball or bowling before filling your belly at the high-energy Hibachi Grill or more casual Video Cafe. After that, choose your own adventure: belt out karaoke tunes at Lounge Life, boogie to '70s and '80s hits at Groove Shack, enjoy house and trance at Atlas or take in live jazz and blues at Blue Cat Live.
