It's officially summertime in Cincinnati — what better way to embrace these warm sunny days than from an outdoor bar/restaurant patio. From scenic city views to a string-lit garden paradise, patios are the perfect place to soak up some summer sun while keeping cool with a cocktail, or some ice water... stay hydrated out there, folks. We've got you covered from downtown to the East End to the northern 'burbs and beyond. With both street-level or sky-high patio selections, this list is sure to guide anyone looking for a chill spot to sip or dine outside.
