The Lübecker — Restaurant in Cincinnati

We made a short visit to Cinncinati to see and explore the city. Upon reading Cincy has a traditionally German neighborhood (now called Over-the-Rhine), we decided to find some German food for an early dinner. We agreed on the Lubecker, and it did not disappoint. The Lubecker is the food service provider at Queen City Radio, a fun bar and beer garden. We enjoyed a cold pitcher of local Cincy Light Beer from Queen City Radio. But the star of the show was the Lubecker's food. We shared a huge soft pretzel with beer cheese and two kinds of mustard, an order of curry wurst, and a pork schnitzel sandwich.

I've said for YEARS that Cincinnati needed a casual bar-food place centered around competent and reasonably-priced German food.

Wasn’t the worst I’ve ever had by any means… had the currywurst but it really didn’t seem like authentic currywurst sauce to me. Seemed more like a really salty BBQ sauce than a curry ketchup.

Will definitely eat here again but I will ask them to lay off the salt next...
