I'm coming July 20-22 from Charlotte. What are some must stops in Cincinnati as far as breweries, stores and bars? Also How far out of the way would it be for be to stop at Jackie Os on the way back home. I'm sure this thread had been posted a lot, just too lazy to look.
In my relative order of preference. Breweries: Rhinegeist Madtree 50 West Stores: Party Source (in NKY) Jungle Jim's (North West of the City) Root Cellar (Kenwood) Jackie O's is 2 hours from Cincinnati on a good day. Enjoy the Queen City. I'm an old fuddy-duddy so I don't hit the bars very often but Brass Tap, Moerlein Lager House, Flipdaddy's are all good options IMO.
Let me second Jungle Jim's. It is a bit north of Cincinnati but well worth the stop. The pics do not do it justice, but have a look https://www.google.com/search?q=jun...iQyATNkIDIAg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAw&biw=1236&bih=705
