Chez Nora |

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. |
