Myself, @Augie and @Seasons1992 all went and actually met for the first time at this game. There was a Bills backers tailgate lot right  across the river  under a bridge, yes under the bridge. That proved handy in the rain actually. 

 

They offered a shuttle bus for like $1, but the stadium looked real close, so me a few others decided to walk it. BIG MISTAKE...it one those "cant get there from here " walks..took us like 30 minutes. If they have the tailgate in that lot, and offer the shuttle, take the shuttle!!!!!

I'm local but don't know the area too well.  Montgomery Inn famous for ribs.  OTR (Over the Rhine) area is great for bars/restaurants.  Good casino (Hard Rock) downtown if you're into that (I'm a pretty big poker player, so FYI they have a nice poker room).  I'm likely going to game with my 12 and 15 yr old kids . . .

Greetings Mafia,

 

Surprised nobody in the Bills Backers of Cincinnati/Northern KY has responded yet.  Sorry about that!

 

Born & raised in Bflo.  Been in Cincy since 84.  If you haven't been here in the last 10 years, lots of positive changes in the places you will be interested in.  We have a Bills Backers group here. not the biggest, but pretty passionate.  We have hosted the last few games between the Bills & Bengals here.  Each has had a larger crowd than the previous.  

 

The following is the gameplan as it exists:

1) Mafia Meet-up @ our home bar- Barleycorn's, 2642 Dixie Hwy, Lakeside, KY 41017  between 1 & 4 P.M. on Sunday the 1st.

2) Mafia Meet-up 2 Sunday the 1st 7 P.M. to ? at The Banks. Freedom Way, Cincinnati.  It is the area between the 2 stadiums.  Lots of options there.  Hoping we've got lots of people representing!

3) Tailgate- Starts at 4 on the 2nd at approx. 500 W. 3rd St, Covington, KY.  Hard to beat this location.  We basically have it to ourselves, lots of "free parking", and it only costs a buck to catch the shuttle from right there over to the stadium.  How can you beat that?

 

As hosts, we do our best to supply Sahlens, Webers, Chili and other items to share with our fellow mafia members.  Last game between the 2, we even had a few RV's and a bus from Bflo.  I really helped us feel like we were at a home game!

 

Filling in some blanks from some of the other comments:

- Montgomery Inn is definitely good, but there are other BBQ joints too that are good.  Just not sure who is open the 1st & 2nd. Lot's of ball teams go to Mont Inn when in town.  Lots of local sports memorabilia.

- Graeter's can't be beat if you like ice cream.

- the Newport area has lots of entertainment options and is a really good view of Cincy since it is across the river in KY

- Another area that has lots of food and drink options including the Rheingeist that was mentioned in another post is the "Over the Rhein" area.  Not far from the banks  (a little north and west).  There is a tram from the backs that goes there for free.

 

Definitely hoping to see as many as possible throughout the week-end.  Hope this is helpful.  I don't have Facebook, but we have a Backers page there, and any updates would be listed there.

 

Go Billls!!!

AMEN! I had a college buddy at the tailgate who was not going to the game. He drove us over to the stadium on his way home. About half way there I realized how lucky we were to have a ride on a chilly wet day. It was farther than it looked.

I think Cinci restaurants were known to serve spaghetti noodles with chili on it or something like that ?

You’ve covered most of it, but I would also suggest going up to Mt Adams. It really is a unique place that feels like another country from an architectural standpoint.

I saw Zappa there in 1981.

I bought tickets to the game in Cincy.  

Can anyone give experiences with the area? What's the must see spots or must do things? 

Where's the Bills bars,  ect. 

We'll be there for a few days before we hit Ky for the Bourbon Trail. 

I'd love to meet up with any TBDers.

 

I went to a Who concert there several years ago, be careful, it was a rough crowd.

I guess it's undergone an upgrade since Jerry Springer used to visit there with his checkbook.

I tried Skyline chili.  It’s freaking gross.  No idea why it’s so popular there.

Thanks Longtime.  I actually remember that episode as a little boy.

 

Classic 70’s humor.

 

I used to love when Len Nessman used to call the golfer

 

Chy Chy Rodrigways.  What a sportscaster.
