What better place for The Park than at The Banks!

This summer, veteran Cincinnati-area hospitality leaders Will Hodges and Chase Daoud are collaborating on their second concept together, opening a new bar/restaurant called The Park.

Hodges has been involved in the entertainment scene at The Banks for 12 years, and he and Daoud opened the popular bar and restaurant, The Well Covington, in January 2023.

The Park, set to open in June, will bring the outside in, creating an indoor bar with an outdoor feel. Patrons will enjoy year-round patio seating, and inside, will dine beneath a tree-like sculpture that serves as the centerpiece of the modern interior.

The Park will serve up cocktails and classic drink offerings, paired with a menu by Good Plates, a creative American eatery that expertly blends flavors, crafting imaginative cuisine for a unique taste experience.

Good Plates is known for serving a style of classic American comfort food, with flavors for everyone. The restaurant, by Chef Andrew Schlanser, is a spot where you can get a meatball sub and fries or a Brussels sprouts and mushroom quinoa bowl.

Along with creating great food, Good Plates gives back to the community. For the last four years, the restaurant has offered thousands of free holiday meals and hosted coat drives, and is always looking for new ways to engage with (and feed) the community.

The Park opens to the public in June 2024.
