Nicholson’s Fine Food and Whisk(e)y

Now celebrating 25 years of bringing the spirit of Scotland to Cincinnati! Located in downtown Cincinnati across from the Aronoff Center for the Arts, Nicholson’s offers a dining experience unlike any other in the city. A restaurant and bar in the heart of the theater district serving food and drink in a genuine Scottish tavern setting, taking inspiration from the public houses found throughout Great Britain and providing guests with authentic hospitality. Nicholson’s offers a wide variety of local craft beer, European ales, and spirits–along with the largest selection of single malt scotch whiskies in the region combined with a vast bourbon collection and proprietor’s barrel program.
