You could watch the Reds at home or listen to the Bengals game in your car, but wouldn't it be better to cheer them on, on the big screen, surrounded by a hundred of your closest friends?
If you're looking to enjoy the kind of camaraderie only a sports bar can provide, check out our top spots for watching the game near Cincinnati.
Holy Grail Tavern & Grill
The Holy Grail Tavern & Grill Banks location is located along the Ohio River, just 100 yards from the Great American Ball Park. With 31 HDTVs and a dual outside patio, this is the place to be when Cincy hits a home run.
If you're hungry, the Jake's Black and Bleu Angus Burger really knocks it out of the park. It's dusted with their house Cajun seasoning and melted bleu cheese crumbles, and served with French fries and a pickle. For something a little different, try the Twice Baked Potato pizza!

JTAPS Bar and Grill
JTAPS Bar and Grill is a neighborhood bar serving up great food with craft beer on tap. In addition to playing the game on the big screen, they also have a patio and live acoustic music.
We recommend doing breakfast-for-dinner and ordering the Sunnyside Burger. It comes topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, American cheese, bacon, and an egg served sunny side up. Wash it down with a pint of MadTree Happy Amber ale.
Check them out on Facebook to learn about local events they're hosting, like their chili cook off and Hopapalooza.
Kitty's Sports Grill
Kitty's Sports Grill has some prime real estate, right across the street from Paul Brown Stadium, making it the go-to destination to pregame a Bengals kickoff. While you're watching the game on the big screen, enjoy outstanding pub food and festive drinks.
Give their Kitty Cuban Burger a taste. This Cajun turkey breast is covered in slow-roasted pulled pork and topped with swiss cheese, pickles, and spicy mustard. Save room for dessert, because they have fried cheesecake and ice cream on the menu. You've gotta try it, at least once!
