Cincinati’s oldest tavern

Arnold’s has been serving Cincinnati since 1861. Historic, family-ran, and full of character — with live music, local food, and plenty of stories.

Vibe

Arnold’s Bar and Grill is a Cincinnati institution, pouring drinks and making memories for over 160 years. Arnold’s blends rich history with laid-back charm. It’s the kind of spot where first-timers feel like regulars, and regulars feel like family.

Food

Some of our signature menu items have become as classic as Arnold’s itself. Whether dining inside, at the bar, upstairs in the gin bathtub room or out in our amazing covered courtyard, our award-winning fare is sourced locally and served casually.

Drink

Known for twists on classic cocktails as well straight up versions, we knock out our own unique recipes and feature a wide variety of interesting brews from these parts and far beyond. The bar itself is unique mixture of collectibles, barware & whatnots.

Music

Every night we’re open the courtyard stage hosts the best Americana, jazz, down home, and bluegrass, along with singer-songwriters. Also, the piano in the bar is not just décor.
