Beer lovers unite! Bockfest, the oldest bock beer festival in the country, celebrates not only Cincinnati’s brewing heritage but also the beginning of spring. Events kick off with a parade, led by the reigning Sausage Queen and a goat pulling a bock beer keg. Afterward, the weekend is filled with live entertainment, great food, walking tours, brewing demonstrations and lots and lots of beer.

Alchemize, Cincinnati’s most popular dance club and nightlife destination, has recently changed its name to the Below Zero Lounge. Serving up their trademark below zero vodka drinks, the knowledgeable bar staff can mix up anything your heart desires from what they have on hand (a fully stocked bar, that is). After grabbing your drink, head to the lounge area to chat or hit the dance floor to shake it!

Every guest of the Queen City needs to try some of the distinct, famous Cincinnati chili, different from any other kind in the country. Skyline Chili—a local franchise in the Tri-State and surrounding areas—is one of the best places to experience genuine Cincy chili, as well as the "official chili" of many local sports teams and venues.
