plenzmd1 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 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!!!!!

TheWei44 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) 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 . . . Edited December 21, 2022 by TheWei44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyPete Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 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!!! 4 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billzgobowlin Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I know it's not for everyone but the ark encounter is nearby. They had camel rides which were cool. Skyline chili is a mainstay for Cincy people but I don't even like chili. When I went it was raining gameday and absolutely miserable. I remember not much to do downtown.

Late but stories like this always remind me of the story Graig Nettles told in his book about the Yankees’ first trip to Toronto. He was rooming with Dick Tidrow, who, I guess, liked to walk to the ballpark. They’re getting ready to leave the hotel for the game and Tidrow asks Nettles where the park is. Nettles points out the window and says “it’s right over there, you can see the lights.” So Tidrow decides he’ll walk it. If you’re familiar with Toronto and the old park you know the hotels are all downtown and Exhibition Stadium was way the ***** down the lake, across the expressway, where you can’t really find a cab. Tidrow ended up walking into the clubhouse a half hour before game time, sweating his ass off. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
