The Best New Bars in Greater Cincinnati, According to CityBeat Readers

By CityBeat Staff

No. 3 Best New Bar: Binski’s Bar 2872 Colerain Ave., Camp Washington When Binski’s Bar opened last year, it did so with the goal of being Camp Washington’s communal watering hole. The bar sits in a bright green building from the early 1900s that was originally a saloon and boarding house (wink wink). An Old Style sign hangs outside — "a signal to anyone in Chicago you’re about to walk into a great bar,” says owner Kiel Erdelac. Inside, visitors will find some classic bar staples like a CD jukebox, darts, rotating drink specials and a community that makes you feel welcome. Drink recommendation: The beer on the sign: Heileman's Old Style.
