Arnold's Bar and Grill
Arnold's Bar & Grill
Open since 1861, the oldest continuously operating bar in Cincinnati, known for its Greek-style spaghetti.
Simon Arnold opened the tavern on East Eighth Street in 1861. It remains Cincinnati's longest continuously operating bar. The building dates to the 1830s, and its old brick interior and covered courtyard are still intact. Live bluegrass and other music are featured on Wednesdays. The signature is Greek spaghetti, on the menu since 1957, with garlic sauce, olives, bacon and Romano cheese. Also try the local-style gravy fries, made with Grippo's seasoned fries and goetta gravy. The signature cocktail is the Diebold Fashion. Entrées are about $14–20. Located downtown and walkable.
