MOTR Pub

MOTR Pub is where you go to run into your former flame because your mutual friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s band is playing. Sure, you support local indie music, but you also want your perma-crush to see your new tattoo when you strategically take off your patch-covered jean jacket. The sexual tension between you two is thicker than the smoke on the patio.

Longfellow's Other Room

Longfellow is the foreplay; Longfellow’s Other Room is where you call the Uber because the time to get in bed is NOW. While you and your date sit in the tucked away island that is Longfellow’s Other Room, you can’t help but let your feet brush, your hair flip and your drink linger on your lips to torture your partner. Maybe it’s the candle light, maybe it’s the paperback novel innuendo in the bar’s name, but it’s probably just the mezcal.

Alice

The line for the bathroom at Alice might be a better match-maker than Tinder. While your friends are in line at the bar, you’re chatting it up with the hottie in the half-hour-long restroom line. Like you’re strangers on an airplane, you exchange names, then neighborhoods, then thirsty glances. Before you know it, you’re on the dance floor really getting to know each other...

Chameleon

Some horny bars have an inexplicable reason, like Chameleon in Northside. Many who started their night at the Loon up the street end up at Chameleon, making out with their best friend in the corner during last call. You don’t care who sees you, and you’ll find a way to tell them you’re still just friends in the morning.

Madonna's Bar & Grill

What happens at Madonna’s, stays at Madonna’s. Unless you bring home that person you were making out with under the glow of a thousand neon beer signs. Madonna’s brings out the dirty impulses in all of us, even if you “just stopped in to watch the Bengals game and have a beer or two.”
