Neighborhoods

With street after street of fine Italianate buildings, Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood is getting its due these days as one of the nation's premier historic districts. For decades in deep decline, OTR is now a grand tale of urban revival, booming as it is with some 150 new restaurants, bars, and shops and businesses that have opened in the last few years.

Burger joint...and the menu is awesome, as a music obsessed human, you have to love the music theme for the food. All of their Sandos are named after bands or musicians. This place is totally dog-friendly, and also has an actual dog menu!

From the guest comments: "a dog owner's paradise - one of the more unique and special spots in Cincinnati. a must visit! Atmosphere: two areas of outdoor seating with an indoor area as well - I'll be honest I've never sat inside however. The covered area has gotten an upgrade over the years and is a proper wooden structure now with a bonus bathroom outside now as well which was probably one of the few downsides is it previously only had one bathroom on the inside. There is an uncovered area which Is where I usually hang out given I typically come with my puppy Food: A few barbecue sandwich options with sides - smoked turkey and pulled pork are my personal favorite of the sandwiches. Side wise the mashed potatoes are pretty solid however the grits are my favorite. Recently I have started getting the rib tips which I think have usurped the smoked turkey as my current go to. Service: its an order at the counter and pick up your food place - however everyone inside is always super nice Its easily one of my favorite dog friendly restaurants"
