The Pitch Cincy

### Pitchmas at The Pitch Cincy: One Sip of That Salted Caramel Old Fashioned and I Was Done For I need to talk about this drink, because I’m still thinking about it days later. It’s called the **Salted Caramel Old Fashioned**, and it is hands-down the best holiday cocktail I’ve had in years (maybe ever). Picture this: rich bourbon, house-made salted caramel that’s somehow both buttery and smoky, a whisper of orange zest, and the most perfect fat ice cube that keeps it cold without watering it down... Paired with Bing Crosby singing “Mele Kalikimaka” overhead, the giant floating ornaments, and the glow of a thousand colored lights reflecting off the walls… I took one sip and actually said out loud, “Well, I’m never leaving.” It’s $14, worth every penny, and dangerously smooth. I had two. Maybe three. Time lost meaning somewhere around the second caramel brulée. Everything else at Pitchmas is still perfect: the multiple photo options, the vintage Christmas soundtrack on repeat, but that Salted Caramel Old Fashioned is the star. It’s cozy, decadent, nostalgic, and just salty-sweet enough to make you believe holiday magic is real. If you go for one thing this season, go for that drink. Then stay for four more. Still dreaming of it. #pitchmas #cincinnati #saltedcarameloldfashioned #bingcrosbyvibes #holidaycocktailheaven 🎄🥃✨ The good, The bad, and My Honest Take if it's worth your time, effort & money.

Food truck outback serves up a variety of normal food truck stuff. Lots of space, lots of TVs, not just for the soccer games (tho packed during FC games) Stopped by their pop of Christmas theme and it did not disappoint. One of the better, and more enjoyable christmas / holiday spots to pregame, post game, happy hour and hang!

10/10 highly recommend. The staff is so helpful and kind, the location is amazing with indoor and outdoor spaces, and the decor is top notch. Excited to come back again!

My girls and I decided to do our holiday party gift exchange here and it was super nice. It was beautifully decorated with the Christmas theme, they had cute holiday drinks and they even had two floors full of decor. The only thing that we would improve is the food situation. There was a food truck on site and they guy was really nice but it was an inconvenience to go outside in the cold to place an order and have to go back out in the cold to pick it up. They should look into a more convenient way for customers to eat. Otherwise it was great!

FC Bayern Takeover at The Pitch Cincy = Epic! The FC Bayern München takeover at The Pitch Cincy was absolutely unforgettable. The beer was ice cold and top-notch, the service was quick and friendly, and the entire atmosphere had that perfect mix of energy and authenticity that made you feel like you were in a German beer hall cheering on your club. From the décor to the chants, every detail was on point. Massive props to the staff—they kept the drinks flowing and the vibes high all night. If you're a soccer fan in Cincinnati and weren’t at The Pitch, you seriously missed out. Can’t wait for the next event—this place gets it. Prost! 🍻⚽️🇩🇪 #MiaSanMia #ThePitchCincy

Great locally owned joint just across from FCC's stompin' ground at TQL Stadium 🏟!! I've been there on a Thursday where it's just a few of us watching friends play in their own mini soccer league ⚽️ & I've also been in the additional area behind the bar for an engagement party. Pics are posted from the surprise engagement party & a few pics of TQL Stadium during an evening lit up. The event space is a perfect small to mid sized space to host events with friends & family. You can bring in your own food from outside & you can purchase a roll of drink tickets for your event. We had a blast!! 🎟 Great job, bartender crew!!🍻 🍻 The Pitch+live FCC ⚽️+TQL 🏟 A GREAT PLACE TO WATCH AN FCC MATCH! 🎶 FCC🧡💙 FCC🧡💙 FCC 🎶

Stop in Saturday night for the XOXO Valentines pop-up. The decorations were beautiful.The photo ops were a ton of fun. Bartenders could've definitely been more engaged and friendly. Drinks were delicious.

I couldn’t help but write a review about Nick, the bartender at The Pitch. My sister, who is an adult with Down syndrome, was met with Nick’s patient, kind, and attentive service, which made her time at The Pitch truly special. There is something deeply meaningful about a place that hires employees who are inclusive and accepting, and Nick embodies that beautifully. Thank you, Nick, for being a great bartender and person.

Amazing atmosphere! Great food trucks and good beer selection. Cant ask for more! PS it's also an arsenal bar

We stopped in to see the pitchmas set up after lunch. The drinks were pretty good but I was surprised they did not have them in the fun glasses as advertised. Overall a solid sports bar with an amazingly large screen. Got to catch a great match and see a bit of the Buckeye game. Fun vibe and several in the group enjoyed the decorations for Christmas. Next time I want to try the food and stay a bit longer

Went by Saturday afternoon to watch football and get a few drinks. Nice place to sit and watch sporting events but there was only one staffer working and she could not keep up with the demand.

Stopped in here yesterday before the Kenny Chesney concert for a quick drink. Super fun atmosphere! The speed bars were probably the fastest service I've seen for beer/seltzers anywhere. Have to just say that I wish more places would put this type of service in. Splitting beer and liquor (for the most part) is just smart business. All of the staff were working their tails off despite the heat and large crowd. Would love to come back here when the crowd isn't as big and truly have the opportunity to enjoy the space.

The Pitch is located next to TQL Stadium and the perfect spot to grab a drink before a FC Cincinnati game. The Pitch is a sports bar themed around soccer with a rooftop bar and it's very own miniature field where you can play 3v3. They offer your traditional sports bar foods such as burgers, fries, waffle fries, and veggies burgers and even a breakfast platter (pancake, scrambled eggs, and bacon). They also offer rotating food trucks as well. The Pitch also has numerous tvs that play all kinds of sports with special emphasis on soccer and Cincinnati sports. The bar is pretty laid back and decorated with Cincy and soccer themed items. There are multiple bars on each level which makes getting a drink super quick and easy. The staff are always kind and happy to help.

I was there for a FCC game and I had a great time and the drinks were good as well, the place had lots of energy

Super close to tql (across the street). Lots of taps, servers and places to stand and sit. Food truck options but hope someday a dedicated kitchen could be an addition to make it truly a destination. Look forward to checking it out sometime not on a game day.

Great to finally have a sports bar in OTR and right across from the new FCC stadium on Central Parkway. Today was their first/soft opening day for the public, the staff was very friendly as they were shaking everything down - like how to work the huge amount of streaming tv's they have! Good beer selection - craft, domestic and international and good prices. The Asian food truck was very good too! We'll be back for lots of FCC and other games!

We came here for St Pattys March Madness. My college team was playing and upon arrival we asked if that game would stay on. They assured me it could be worked out, so we posted up and ordered some green beer. I was surprised at how big the spot was. There is an outside patio, and inside "patio" style room, the main bar area, and an upstairs. There were tons of TVs and the ones over the bar were gigantic. Sadly, at the start of the game the TVs kept glitching every 3 seconds. It was so bad we considered leaving but it finally got resolved. When it finally got resolved they took that game off the TV. We inquired again about it being on and the put it on another TV. Then with 4 mins left in a very close game, they took it off again and I almost missed the end of the game. Very frustrating. When I went to get another beer they said they had accidentally closed out my tab and at that point I just gave up. The bartenders seemed ok, but perhaps shorthanded. The tables were sticky and not super clean, ugh. One of them told me they arent normally open on Thurs night, so Id like to give them another chance in the future. It seemed like it could be a cool place. Maybe it was an off night.

Great event bar right across the street from the stadium. Excellent local and micro brew offerings on tap and great service at the bar. They often bring in food trucks for satisfy your hunger, otherwise there's not much nearby to munch on. Upstairs bar and patio so when the weather is nice, it's great to hang on the patio. Great bar with good people, just don't go there looking for food.

Picture it...2021....in the middle of a pandemic. Vaccinations have been out a few months. A friend was coming in town for the day and another friend suggests we try out a new bar. It was a quick walk for us. As someone who isn't into soccer, I found out as we were walking that it's FC opening day at the new stadium. Walk up to The Pitch and we're told masks aren't required if you're vaxed. It's cool, they had the doors and windows open. I was highly annoyed they invited 2 Mac n cheese food trucks (hey diversity) but we headed upstairs to eat and people watch. One hour later the place was packed. Everyone headed to the patio to watch the parade from Washington Park. It was a lot for me and I had a panic attack so we left once the streets cleared out a bit. This is actually a pretty cool sports bar that's set up well for crowds, I just wasn't ready.

I like the layout of this place. It's almost like two places in one. I love the outdoor patio. It was so chill. I can imagine it being crazy during FC Cincinnati games but I went on an off day. The vibes were high. The census was low and the music was fantastic! Not sure what my it's like when it's poppin' but I really liked the low key vibe. I can see parking being problem but it was easy when I went. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

Was on the 2nd floor and roof deck for a private event. It's right across from TQL Stadium and very spacious. Attentive bartenders. Plenty of TV real-estate to watch sports (if that's your thing). It's a great option if you don't want to venture too far from Central Parkway.

The food truck situation is awful. Waited over 30 minutes for cold, undercooked burgers that were accompanied with super salty and cold fries. A huge waste of money. The bar service is great but the food truck is awful.

AVOID THE FOOD TRUCK! We ordered 2 Burrow Burgers & fries. Food took over 30 minutes & once received, fries were cold & burgers were not fully cooked (and we asked for well-done). We advised cook that burgers were not done, his response was "they're 110°." Everyone knows it's done at 165°. The Pitch needs better food truck options. #ThatsAll

Great spot to watch a game. Watched some of the World Cup games here yesterday. Great atmosphere and friendly service.

Plenty of room inside and out, good beer selection, directly across from TQL Stadium. Food trucks great touch. Parking is street for now. That will improve with time but one street over from street car stops and parking on elm & 14th or elm and liberty ether way a 1 block walk. Well played Pitch well played!

The first floor men's restroom was occupied so I was directed by a series of 3 signs to the restroom in the basement. This was a classic journey down a long hallway in the basement bathroom, which is always an interesting time. Right away I was impressed by how the green accented floors and the green ceiling and walls really made me feel like I was in an extension of the bar. The restroom itself was stocked with a urinal and two stalls, one of which being a larger handicap stall. The bathroom came well stocked with all the fixins. I'm nitpicking here but the only knock is that they didn't offer paper towels, only a Nova air powered hand dryer. I always like to have the option of using paper towels to dry my hands. All around this was a great restroom experience. I would venture to call it a pooper's paradise. The most impressive thing about my time at clutch was the service. The bartender Joel was working solo. He made a couple great shots and was able to keep the bathroom stocked and clean during a busy couple hours of service. Last thing, the food truck "The Alley" was amazing. Their impossible slider made me question if it was actually beef or not, and the fries were my favorite style "thunder crispy". I would eat here every day.

The perfect sports bar to hang out with your friends. Not many other spots in OTR that offer big TVs to make watching your game easy. I've been here for Reds Bengals and FCC watch parties. Great deals on drinks and the beer is cold. On non FCC game days there is a ton of street parking that you can find. This place is also great for small and large parties. We just hosted our fantasy football draft about 12-15 people and they were excellent in accommodating us. The service staff definitely cares about the customers.

I am so excited for this new bar. from the rooftop, to the drinks and the new tvs in the open area. this bar is PERFECT for our City

I live just around the corner from this fresh new bar, and it's pretty sweet! Tons of TVs and multiple levels of bar with an outdoor overlook with a perfect view of the stadium where I got to see an awesome view of the first FC "March" come into the West End stadium for the first time. It was awesome! They have a dynamite beer selection and they show love to all sports, plus a very cool memorabilia section on the wall by the downstairs bar with some sweet Cincy throwbacks for style points. Go check this place out!

Loved my first visit here! Fun place and loaded with TVs to watch the games and matches. Great atmosphere. The only food is from food trucks parked out back, though.

doesn't have a phone number. spent 10 minutes trying to find one before I realized they can only be contacted through Twitter or Facebook. They claim it's because of robo calls but I've never seen this at other restaurant. I didn't haven't Facebook until recently so I got lucky. If you don't have Facebook or Twitter you're out of luck. Also if you wanna ask a few simple questions without texting good luck.

Lacey, Justin, and Wonder Brown are so amazing and personable!! I love it here, obsessed with the ambiance, all the staff is so nice and friendly and the drinks are amazing!
