After dark, the hottest area with the widest appeal is the
Over-the-Rhine
district, which fans out from Main Street, around 12th and 14th, and buzzes every night - though be careful where you park or walk as it backs onto some dodgy areas. The bars, restaurants and cafAŠs of scenic
Mount Adams
offer a good choice of music, food and atmosphere, especially on warm summer nights, when the narrow streets are full of revelers. The studenty
Corryville
neighborhood, a five-minute drive northwest from downtown, has a lively undergraduate edge, while
Covington Landing
, Kentucky, is busy but bland. A proliferation of
brewpubs
has sprung up all over town in the past few years, always dependable for a good drink in friendly surroundings. What's-on
