I have been to several of these Murder on the Menu tours and have been surprised each time with a new cuisine, tidbit of the murder and trying new drinks. I can not recommend this enough. If you have a few hours and want to do something that is not so stupid you will want to blow your brains out...then spend it here. Its well worth the cost!!!!

Tim & I have been to 3 different Murder on the Menu evenings with local author and fabulous storyteller, Michael D. Morgan. Our most recent was about a week ago at Washington Platform Saloon & Restaurant in Over-the-Rhine (OTR) in Cincinnati. Michael regaled us with the sordid - but highly entertaining - story of a famous Cincinnati murder. The murderer was the notorious bootlegger, GEORGE REMUS, a pharmacist-lawyer and flamboyant millionaire and socialite. REMUS, we learned, came to Cincinnati during Prohibition. He was attracted to the city because it had a reputation for corruption and it sat within 80-miles of 80% of all the bonded whiskey in the USA -- a perfect combination for an enterprising lawyer-pharmacist who could write medical prescriptions for alcohol to access the liquor hoard. REMUS was as big as Al Capone and as colorful as the Great Gatsby. He murdered his wife in cold blood, in public, in Eden Park ((Cincinnati, OH), and he CONFESSED to the crime …and he got off! The why, how, and what happened at the trial are the makings of the outrageous, highly entertaining - but factual tale we heard. The story was part of a Remus-themed dinner with a bourbon pairing for each course. It was inspired by popular dishes served in the late 1920s and the adult beverage of choice during that era - bourbon - in spite of prohibition! The food & the drinks were delicious. And the story even better!

Just leave every thing and start walking from the fountain square towards vine street you will be happy seeing and exploring many things in the city the draws and small boutiques

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Stewart as our guide. The tour began & ended at Arnold's, Cincinnati's oldest continuously operating saloon. It was built and run as a brothel in 1868 apparently before such enterprises became illegal. The tour lasted about 90 minutes, going at an easy pace and filled with interesting facts and stories from Cincinnati's past. It was reasonably priced and since it does not include any booze or beer sampling, is fine for everyone. The one slightly strenuous part, a 40 foot descent on a rather steep & narrow metal stairway, was optional and those who didn't want to go could wait in comfort at the Washington Platform nearby. We learned a lot more than just the three B's in such a short period of time. It was nice to know that A portion of proceeds (from the tours) goes to support the non-profit Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corp. and the preservation of our brewing history. We took advantage of returning to Arnold's to enjoy a local beer and delicious lunch. Would recommend to anyone.
