Eclipse at Northside Tavern tonight

Northside Tavern’s new backroom is open, and will be the spot to check out Eclipse tonight. There will be no cover and music will start around 10pm.

Listen to Eclipse here!

Northside Tavern is open until 2:30am everyday and is a great spot to catch local music and enjoy a few drinks. Northside Tavern has received accolades like ‘Best new bar’ (2003 – Cincinnati Enquirer), ‘Best Public Living Room’ (2004 – CityBeat Best of Cincinnati), ‘Best Supporter of Local Music’ and ‘Best Bar/Nightclub’ (both 2005 – CityBeat Best of Cincinnati). One of the other great things is that it is situated nicely in the heart of Northside.

Feel free to get there a little early and take advantage of their happy hour that runs from 5pm-8pm M-F. You can get $2.75 pints, $2.50 well, $3.00 call and $3.50 wine. Northside Tavern (GoogleMap) also has a huge outdoor patio if you care to enjoy the lovely weather or if you need to get out and smoke.

Scooters gaining speed in Cincinnati

Are you one of the many people riding around town on a scooter, moped, or motorcycle? If you are then you’re in luck. The City of Cincinnati has taken note of the increased number of these smaller vehicles and is planning to introduce five parking locations, throughout the Downtown area, for these vehicles.

These will be 10-hour, dedicated, on-street parking options. Each of the five locations will accomodate between 3-5 vehicles each. The City plans to have these locations set up and in place by the end of October and wants your input on where they should be located throughout the Downtown area.

Take the survey here!Shop for scooters today!

The City is also strongly considering some other neighborhoods for this program, but would like your input on where it would be best suited. Clifton, Northside, and others (you know who you are) this means you. Tell City officials that you think it would be a great idea for this program to be extended to your neighborhood, and help make this initial program a success.

The beauty of this program is that it not only makes things better for those who currently ride around on scooters, mopeds, or motorcycles, but it also makes the city more inviting to those considering these smaller vehicles as an alternative to a car.
