Jump-start your Saturday night on a Happy Hour Tour in Over the Rhine!
Unlike large bus tours or asking your Uber driver where to get a good cocktail, we offer a relaxing, guided tour and cocktail tasting experience that connects with the local bars and the neighborhood. As a result, you will learn about the history and uniqueness of Over the Rhine, experience a variety of cocktails, learn about each establishments distinctive style and enjoy a nice walk with some amazing people.
We’ll visit 4 different places, enjoying lively libations and learn a few of the bartenders tips and tricks. You’ll enjoy the full attention of one of our fun local guides, who will quickly seem more like a friend escorting you to their favorite spots in town. And since we don’t want to just booze you up, we’ll include one or two snacks along the way.
As we stroll through this German historic neighborhood, we’ll share the stories and history of these magnificent buildings.

5.00We never would have discovered these hidden gems without this tour. Juliann was informative and passionate about her hometown. She not only shared the history but the future plans for Over The Rhine area. Hands down (and drinks up), an incredible tour. Cheers!
Informative and fun!

5.00Excellent information and great cocktail bars and knowledge of the staff. Walking through the town was close to each location and stops were long enough to enjoy additional cocktails. Juliann was our tour guide and we highly recommend her.

5.00My work team took the Riverside Food Tour in the Over the Rhine neighborhood with Laura. We were a mix of Cincinnati locals and remote employees from all over the country. Everyone enjoyed the walk, the history, and the cocktail stops along the way. Laura is very knowledgeable about the history and the current state of a beautifully historic neighborhood. She is so nice, and made it fun and interesting for everyone.
Juliann is the best!!!

5.00This was a really good tour - we used the street car to get to and from our tour. We stayed at the Banks and the street car made it real easy - we didn't need to worry about parking. Best of all was the tour - 4 great local establishments where we had the best drinks! Juliann was the best tour guide - she was loaded with knowledge about the area and was lots and lots of fun . We will go again when we get back to Cincinnati. We made his a week end trip from our homes 2 hours away and we will go back again soon!
Awesome will do again
