Fodor's Expert Review Arnold's Bar & Grill

The oldest bar in Cincinnati, opened in 1861, caters to a diverse customer base and also serves a basic but solid Italian menu with such entrées as spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant marinara, Sicilian linguine, and sandwiches. The patio, where bands play Thursday through Saturday, stays open year-round and is covered in winter. Portions tend to be on the small side.
