Igby's — Restaurant in Cincinnati

I highly recommend Igby's for a private party/celebration. My son turned 30 last week so his wife surprised him with a gathering of friends and family on the upper floor of Igby's. The room is nicely decorated and has a number couches and comfortable chairs for seating. In addition there are standing tables on the outdoor balcony adjacent to the party room.

The downstairs area is often too packed to even move comfortably or order a drink, if I do go I usually fight my way upstairs and stay there. Honestly nothing extremely special about this bar. If you're bored and just wanna try something new try it in the summer, get a drink and hang on...
