Cincinnati may be a waterfront town, but unfortunately, we are nowhere near a tropical beach. You have to hop on a plane or drive a very far distance to reach sugary soft sand and crystal clear waters, but if traveling isn't in the cards for you (or you just prefer to stay closer to home), then you're in luck. To experience paradise, all you now have to do is cross the Ohio River into Newport and visit the Newport Beach Patio Bar. It may not be an actual beach, but you'll find sand, tropical drinks, a laid-back atmosphere, and many other surprises that will allow you to relax in paradise.
Located right across the street from Newport on the Levee, in the spot formerly occupied by Arnie's, Newport Beach Patio Bar is unlike any other destination in the Cincinnati area.
With space both indoors and out, the tropical theme is evident in every detail, making it the perfect spot to kick back and relax.
While the interior is lively and fun, the real highlight is the outdoor patio.
Where else near Cincinnati can you swing over sand, brought to the city from the Gulf, while sipping a cool drink, eating some food, and taking in a beautiful view of the skyline?
This outdoor area is spacious and accommodating for all types of visitors.
A family could enjoy a meal and some quality time in the afternoon, but it's also the perfect place for a fun night out.
There is often live music, and it frequently accents with the tropical Key West theme.
Many favorite bands have performed, and you can enjoy any number of their drinks or menu items while listening to the music.
There are a variety of food and drink options on the menu, and you can - of course - expect to find plenty of frozen concoctions that will whisk you away to a tropical paradise.
The menu is created by the restaurant Demetrios and is a mixture of delicious unexpected items and classic bar food.
Everyone can definitely find a satisfying bite to eat to go along with the drinks and beach theme.
If you can visit Newport Beach Patio Bar at sunset, your experience will really be unforgettable.
As the sun sets behind the city, you'll feel as if you're miles away on vacation.
And as the moon rises, relax on a swing and imagine that those artificial palm trees are the real deal.
Order some food and a frozen drink and relax in your new favorite tropical paradise.
