Get your flowers here

The Flower Carpet that has been on Fountain Square since April 7th will be going away this Sunday (4/27). The best part about it is that they will be giving the flowers away to the public for free. The public is free to line up prior to the giveaway that will run from 7am-10am (or until the plants are gone).

Each person will be given a crate that holds six pots. If you would like more than one crate you are permitted to get back in line for another.

Happy Hour Cincinnati: Buddakhan

I don’t think a lot of people know about Buddakhan, but its got a nice happy hour (M-F) drink selection and a huge food menu. They now have a lunch, dinner, and late night food menu to take care of their customers all throughout the day.

For happy hour you can get 22oz. drafts for $2 which includes Bud Light and 2 rotating featured drafts. If draft beer isn’t your thing then you can choose from 40 different selections of beer on stock.

This is a great spot to hit up midway through your night if you’re looking for some food and want the drinks to keep on flowing. It also works for that late night end cap (open until 2:30am every day). Buddakhan also has live music occasionally and many of the tables include their own personal TV on the table.

The other great thing about Buddakhan is its location. All you have to do is turn your head and you could continue your hop to Lodge Bar, BlackFinn, Madonna’s, Sully’s, Cadillac Ranch, Universal Grille, Rockin’ Robins, Via Vite, Havana Martini Club, Arnold’s, Blue Wisp Jazz Club, or Nada (I’m sure I forgot something, so forgive me).

Happy Hour Cincinnati: Via Vite

There are tons of great happy hours around town…many of which are largely unknown. For the first of what will become an ongoing series, I will highlight Via Vite’s great happy hour.

First of all, Via Vite’s happy hour is EVERY day and lasts from 3-6 (I was told 7pm by our waitress the other week). Unfortunately they don’t offer any draft selections, but they do serve Christian Moerlein’s OTR Ale. After you take the $1.50 off you’ll be enjoying some great OTR Ale for $2 on Via Vite’s rooftop terrace.

The rooftop terrace is what really makes Via Vite special. It sits directly on Fountain Square and makes for one of the best happy hour environments around. Plus the rooftop terrace consists of couches arranged in a way that is great for groups of up to around 6 people.

The food specials also make it a great spot to start off your evening downtown. The wood fired pizzas are great for sharing with a friend and are at a great happy price – $7. If you’re in the mood for a great happy hour today then be sure to check out Via Vite. The location is to die for and the food and drink live up to the high expectations.
