CincyPete

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!!!
