Over-the-Rhine map

Over-the-Rhine Neighborhood Overview

Findlay, Rhinegeist, And Beard Oil.

🧭Generally defined as the area: Central Parkway south, McMicken Avenue and Klotter Street north, Sycamore Street and Gilbert Avenue east, Central Parkway and the West End line west

📌Well known for: reincarnated breweries that used to be abandoned death traps fifteen years ago, and endless brunch patience

👕You'll fit in if: barista by day, gallery hopping, foodie by night, with strong opinions about which coffee roast is morally superior.

👍Move here for: patios, murals, and scooters like a fluorescent parade zipping past $600k renovated rowhouses that sold for $80k in 2010

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: parking Tetris, where you'll circle for twenty minutes, then park six blocks away anyway, and concert noise from basically every venue in the neighborhood on the weekend.

The overall feel is: gritty glam with caffeinated charm.

cocktail crawlers and mural chasing selfie legends who don't mind waiting 45 minutes for brunch.
