March 9, 20196 yr Dining Out: Libby's Southern Comfort Having recently been on vacation in Charleston, S.C., I had a flashback when I stepped into Libby’s Southern Comfort. Brad Wainscott and his wife, Michelle, opened the restaurant in January in Covington’s Duveneck Square. Brad is no stranger to the restaurant business, having grown up helping in his dad’s local spots: His father, Butch Wainscott, is the owner of two popular places in Northern Kentucky: Greyhound Tavern and the Tousey House Tavern. The Libby in the restaurant's name is Brad's daughter; the logo is Libby and Yuma, their black Lab. The feel of this charming place is "modern rustic," featuring a long bar made from a black walnut tree that came from Indian Hill and a quaint area of tables. As soon as this weather cooperates, there is space outside with plenty of seating.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this will be transformative for the Northern Liberties/Brewery District area. Rhinegeist is a hugely popular destination already, but it's hard to tell since it's a big brick building with nothing at street level to give any sense of activity. With LNS, Oddfellows, and the ax throwing place all open, I think you're actually going to start to see large crowds of people walking around on the street in that part of the neighborhood for the first time in...80 years? Anyway, if you'd like to check out Late Night Slice, they are having a neighborhood preview tonight starting at 6pm. They're giving away free pizza and a cash bar will also be open.

March 14, 20196 yr This bar seems super half assed. They're blatantly ripping off the name from Northside Yacht Club, and the description of their food and drinks looks like exactly 0 thought was put into making the place special in any way. Every bar doesn't have to be unique and special, but saying you'll be serving long island iced teas and ham and cheese sandwiches in the press release seems super lazy to me. Oh well, I wish them luck. "A partial menu posted on Facebook shows food offerings like fries and tater tops served with dips like cheese, honey mustard, ranch and aioli and toppings like chili cheese, vegan chili, bacon cheese, cheeseburger and chicken garlic parmesan. Other food offerings include sandwiches like ham and cheese, turkey club and a BLT, as well as a Chicago-style hot dog. Drink options include cocktails like the Cape Cod, Long Island iced tea, screwdriver, margarita, Tom Collins, sea breeze and Manhattan. The club offers shots like the lemon drop, Washington apple, green tree and honey badger."

Daniel and Lana Wright, who operate three restaurants in Over-the-Rhine – Senate, Abigail Street and Pontiac BBQ – plan to open Forty Thieves and Holiday Spirits Bar at 1538 Race St. on March 19.

April 3, 20196 yr That entire article skips the fact that Covington is ranked #15, just one spot below Cincinnati. They go out of their way to mention Mentor Ohio at #70, but no love for the Cov. This is one more (albeit small and stupid) example of Cincinnati ignoring NKY. So there was only one other city in Ohio; how is Mentor, a city 250 miles away, any way more related to what a Cincinnatian should care about or to use as context for this ranking, than a city that literally borders Cincinnati? Sorry about the rant, I love Business Courier, but a good chunk of the Cincinnati MSA is in Kentucky and I often feel left out. Good for BOTH Cincinnati and Covington for being in the top 15 of this pointless ranking. EDIT: Business Courier updated to add Covington to their story, apparently sometimes complaining works.
