Fright Nights

Have you heard the boos?

Cincinnati was just named one of the best cities for Halloween fun. WalletHub placed the city in the top 20, based on Trick-or-Treater Friendliness, Halloween Fun and Halloween Weather.

Why not celebrate with not one, but TWO parties at The Banks! On Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1 you'll find multi-bar parties and fun in the DORA district.

For Friday night's Nightmare at The Banks on Oct. 31, seven bars – Fishbowl at The Banks, Holy Grail, Jefferson Social, Killer Queen, The Park, The Stretch, and Tin Roof – are throwing a party with a $2,500 grand prize, a travel voucher to Susan’s Getaways, for their costume contest.

The evening also includes high-energy beats from DJ DLO, themed cocktails and spooky specials across, plus the promise of thousands of creatures of the night partying together at The Banks!

But the fun doesn't stop there. On Saturday, Nov. 1, don't miss the second annual Jack’s Halloween Bar Hop at The Banks, presented by Jack Daniel’s.
