When you think of an OTR restaurant, you likely imagine the historic brickwork, the trendy atmosphere, and the incredible energy of Cincinnati’s most vibrant neighborhood. But the modern diner wants more than just a table and a plate—they want an experience.
Welcome to the newest evolution of the OTR restaurant scene: Dueling Axes Cincinnati. We’ve combined a high-end lounge, a premium bar, and a giant video wall with the thrill of axe throwing to create the ultimate destination for food, drinks, and sports.
