The Globe in Covington

The Globe in Covington

The Globe in Covington is a great little bar with a lot of pizzazz and fantastic cocktails. Before it was a trendy place to get a drink though The Globe was a little bit seedier.  In fact, I can remember walking past this building as a young girl when it was a gentleman’s club called...

Dinner at Lisse in Covington

Blank Slate Brewing Company in Cincinnati {CLOSED}

Cincinnati seems to be going back to it’s beer-brewing roots.  There seems to be no shortage of micro breweries, craft breweries and home-brewers (my husband included) in the Greater Cincinnati area.  We have decided to make a habit of planning outings that revolve around local breweries.  I decided that if we were going to be...
Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition

The kids (and adults) in our family love to play arcade games and pinball, but I’m not willing to break the bank to do so. To be honest with you, I’m not surprised to learn that other people think the same way, my friend included. That’s why he decides to download arcade roms when he...
