Fifty Fifty Gin Club

“Intimate and classy looking bar with an intriguing and delicious collection of cocktails. The bartenders are super cool people as well. 100% recommended”

“Fifty Fifty is easily one of the best cocktail spots in Cincinnati, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The drink program is on another level, and Kiki is a true artist behind the bar. Her creations are inventive, well-balanced, and unlike anything you’ve probably had before. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and intimate—the ideal spot for a date, a few friends, or just a solo drink at the bar. Rachel really did a great job creating an environment that strikes the perfect equilibrium between cozy neighborhood hideaway and elevated cocktail lounge. Pro tip: Become a member; you won’t regret it. They have member nights once a month that feature things like exclusive menus, complimentary treats, and talks from visiting distillers and distributors. There is also a monthly giveaway and you receive priority registration for classes and events. Trust me, the membership is worth it.”

“Update: They have non-alcoholic spirits to make mocktails that honor the taste of the originals. Or, they can create whatever zero proof drink you want. First visit: New, nice, next to Homemakers, and primarily gin, but they also offer a short list of other liquors, beer, and wine plus a few lite bites. The Fig & Tonic is my most recent favorite, I've also enjoyed the Subtropical Gin & Tonic, and the Cereal Milk Punch. Service was great. It's small: only seats 20 (8 at bar + 12 across 3 tables), so I make a reservation whenever I'm with more than one other person.”

“Very cool chill atmosphere. Knowledgeable bartender. Drinks were made with good quality gin. Decent pricing. Great late night spot.”

“So went there tonight and loved it. The key is to talk to the bartenders. The menus does not at all convey what they can do. Tell them what you like and allow them to create. They need to say in the menu “any any ideas you may have”. They listened to what my daughter liked and concocted a cocktail she loved. She had spent time in Iceland which has extensive gin cocktail menus so the menu was disappointing but the actual cocktails, bartenders and service were top notch! I had the giardiniera martini and it was a great gin spin on a dirty (I like vodka dirty’s). Anyway my point is don’t let the menu limit you. These guys both knew the brands and great mixing ideas. Go and enjoy. Love the cozy feel. It was weird that when we walked in they asked if we had reservations and the place was pretty empty (early). We were taking a night out and trying a few bars and said we just wanted to sit at what was then an empty bar. All good. Great drinks, great innovative ideas and great service. Go!”
