About Happy Hour in Cincinnati

Cincinnati's happy hour scene runs strong from roughly 3pm to 7pm on weekdays, with a concentration of deals in Over-the-Rhine, The Banks waterfront, and around Fountain Square. The tristate geography — Cincinnati in Ohio, Covington and Newport in Kentucky — means there are quality options on both sides of the Ohio River within minutes of each other.

Happy Hour Unlocked tracks live deals across all of these neighborhoods in one place. Filter by beer specials, cocktail deals, food, and more. No account required — just open and go.

Most Active Happy Hour Windows

Most Cincinnati venues run happy hour Monday through Friday. The busiest evenings are Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 7pm. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings tend to have the same deals with smaller crowds — a better pick if you prefer a quieter experience. Many venues extend deals to weekend afternoons, which you can check in the app in real time.
