Lace up your bowling shoes and get ready to knock down some pins at Madison Bowl, a 24/7 bowling alley in the Oakley neighborhood. This old-school alley has great deals for all bowlers and great hours for all ages, as well as an excellent dinner inside (and a full bar for those over 21).

Journey back to when Cincy was one of the most prosperous cities in the country. Cincinnati Brewery District Lager Tours not only showcase the Queen City’s rich (and delicious) brewing history, it also explores the influence of prohibition on the culture. See all the big-name breweries and the tunnels beneath them that played major roles in the development of the city.

Blast off your weekend with a trip to The Comet. One of Cincinnati’s most popular nightlife options, this laid-back dive bar offers a killer combination of drinks, food and music. Choose from over 200 beers or have one specially mixed from the full bar. Munch on some of the most delicious San Francisco-style burritos outside of San Fran. You can even catch a live concert or hit up the jukebox for your favorite tunes.

Catch the latest Broadway hit at the Taft Theatre, or check out an excellent comedy show. You can even see a number of concerts performed on this old-fashioned Art Deco stage. Since opening in 1928, this small but famous theater has provided Cincinnati with some of its finest live entertainment performances.
