Highball is one of my favorite bars in cincy. The vibe is amazing, it’s perfect to go and chill and listen to some music (bringing your own records is allowed!), have a cocktail, and just relax. The front area of the bar reminds me of a living room, lots of comfy seating options and plenty of space to spread out a bit. The drinks are also super affordable! A lot of highball’s signature cocktails are only $11, which is lower than other bars in the area. They have a wide variety of spirits and canned beer/seltzer. They also have a weekend happy hour!! We love the bartenders and the patrons that this place attracts are very chill. Additionally, I have hosted 2 private parties in the Annex (back room) and they have been SO FUN!!! It’s free to rent the space as long as you bring people, and they are super accommodating about letting you play your own music and decorate. I highly recommend highball for small events, or even just as your weekly wind-down cocktail...

Just one visit and it's already one of my favorite OTR bars. Also, the bartenders...

The drinks are delicious for a great price and the snacks they have available are a perfect pairing for the drink menu. Everything there has been high quality and I can’t wait to come back again! This past thursday we came in the evening and Jamie was awesome, and recommended her signature cocktail, then we came back later in the night and Jasmine took care of us, and even though we were the only ones in the bar she made it feel very special and we had a great conversation with her! Overall this spot is very underrated and I can’t wait to come back again with...
