I'm going to Cincinnati this weekend, What neighborhoods are good for bars and restaurants?

Chevyc said it. Cross the river into Covington and Newport. It is safer and if you can end up at Hooter's in Newport on the river they have a riverboat ( ferry) that takes ya right over to the stadium for $4 and brings ya back after the gamre so you don't have that high parking fee they charge over in Cinci. Can ya try the Radisson hotel over in Covington ( 800-333-3333) for a reservation or the Travel Lodge (800-578-7878) located in Newport next to the aquarium and Newport on the Levee and Hooter's as well and plenty great nite spots and a simple cab ride to Covington's Main Strasse. That's where I recommend and I live in a suburb of Cinci. (Norwood) and N. Ky is where my friends and I go to hang out

Main Street Entertainment District-downtown

Mainstrausse in Covington

Mount Adams

Go across the river to Covington to Mainstrasse. There's lots of bars so that you can park and just walk around to all the bars but ifs nice outside its gonna be really crowded.

all the yuppies and wannabees hang out in Mt Adams
