This unassuming spot holds an amazing sports bar inside! It was especially fun to watch a World Cup game inside. The vibe was amazing. Staff is great, drinks are cold, prices are good. A fun spot across from the soccer stadium that we'll be sure to visit again! read more

Visited The Pitch to catch up with old friends before heading back to Louisville. Located right down the street from Music Hall, street parking can be a challenge. Thankfully, it was a Sunday so I was able to grab a spot nearby. Being winter, I didn't linger outside but it looked like they have a fairly extensive outdoor area. Once inside, it has a large bar surrounded by huge tvs playing football (on this day). We sat at a tall table with barstools in the center of the room. Bar staff were very knowledgeable and very friendly. Since I was driving, I only wanted a half pint of beer which wasn't a problem. They do have bar snacks which my friends had before I arrived. They said it was pretty standard fried goodies. The Pitch is a sports lover's paradise. Loads of beer and liquor options and TVs aplenty. Given this, it's very loud with different stations playing and folks cheering/ yelling. Don't expect to have any conversation except during commercials. I didn't frequent sports bars, but everyone was friendly and having a good time which made it fun. read more

Came here for the Pitchmas and loved it! The staff is incredibly friendly and they are kid friendly. I had a member of the staff offer to help carry the stroller up the stairs and someone came up to me to tell me there were changing tables upstairs. The drinks were tasty but it was the atmosphere for me! So many photo ops with cute backgrounds! The pitch is right across from TQL and would be a perfect place to go before or after a game, or to watch any sporting event really! There is an entire wall of TVs. read more

I popped into The Pitch while in town for their Christmas pop up bar, Pitchmas. It was soooooo well done. We had so much fun, and their drink specials for the holiday event was also great. Service was fantastic, and certainly could be a fun spot for any sporting event in Cincinnati, more than just FC. read more

We stopped in to see the pitchmas set up after lunch. The drinks were pretty good but I was surprised they did not have them in the fun glasses as advertised. Overall a solid sports bar with an amazingly large screen. Got to catch a great match and see a bit of the Buckeye game. Fun vibe and several in the group enjoyed the decorations for Christmas. Next time I want to try the food and stay a bit longer read more

Awful drinks selection and even worse food. Terrible atmosphere, full of suburbanites. Very 'Cincinnati'.

best bar I've been to, plenty of space, great food, and the bartenders have amazing energy busy or not! Definitely recommend for anyone going to an FCC game or any Cincinnati event! read more

Stopped in here yesterday before the Kenny Chesney concert for a quick drink. Super fun atmosphere! The speed bars were probably the fastest service I've seen for beer/seltzers anywhere. Have to just say that I wish more places would put this type of service in. Splitting beer and liquor (for the most part) is just smart business. All of the staff were working their tails off despite the heat and large crowd. Would love to come back here when the crowd isn't as big and truly have the opportunity to enjoy the space. read more

The Pitch is located next to TQL Stadium and the perfect spot to grab a drink before a FC Cincinnati game. The Pitch is a sports bar themed around soccer with a rooftop bar and it's very own miniature field where you can play 3v3. They offer your traditional sports bar foods such as burgers, fries, waffle fries, and veggies burgers and even a breakfast platter (pancake, scrambled eggs, and bacon). They also offer rotating food trucks as well. The Pitch also has numerous tvs that play all kinds of sports with special emphasis on soccer and Cincinnati sports. The bar is pretty laid back and decorated with Cincy and soccer themed items. There are multiple bars on each level which makes getting a drink super quick and easy. The staff are always kind and happy to help. read more

Amazing atmosphere! Great food trucks and good beer selection. Cant ask for more! PS it's also an arsenal bar read more

Went by Saturday afternoon to watch football and get a few drinks. Nice place to sit and watch sporting events but there was only one staffer working and she could not keep up with the demand. read more

I was there for a FCC game and I had a great time and the drinks were good as well, the place had lots of energy

Super close to tql (across the street). Lots of taps, servers and places to stand and sit. Food truck options but hope someday a dedicated kitchen could be an addition to make it truly a destination. Look forward to checking it out sometime not on a game day. read more

Great to finally have a sports bar in OTR and right across from the new FCC stadium on Central Parkway. Today was their first/soft opening day for the public, the staff was very friendly as they were shaking everything down - like how to work the huge amount of streaming tv's they have! Good beer selection - craft, domestic and international and good prices. The Asian food truck was very good too! We'll be back for lots of FCC and other games! read more

The Pitch Cincy - View from the upstairs deck! - Food Trucks Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We came here for St Pattys March Madness. My college team was playing and upon arrival we asked if that game would stay on. They assured me it could be worked out, so we posted up and ordered some green beer. I was surprised at how big the spot was. There is an outside patio, and inside "patio" style room, the main bar area, and an upstairs. There were tons of TVs and the ones over the bar were gigantic. Sadly, at the start of the game the TVs kept glitching every 3 seconds. It was so bad we considered leaving but it finally got resolved. When it finally got resolved they took that game off the TV. We inquired again about it being on and the put it on another TV. Then with 4 mins left in a very close game, they took it off again and I almost missed the end of the game. Very frustrating. When I went to get another beer they said they had accidentally closed out my tab and at that point I just gave up. The bartenders seemed ok, but perhaps shorthanded. The tables were sticky and not super clean, ugh. One of them told me they arent normally open on Thurs night, so Id like to give them another chance in the future. It seemed like it could be a cool place. Maybe it was an off night. read more

Picture it...2021....in the middle of a pandemic. Vaccinations have been out a few months. A friend was coming in town for the day and another friend suggests we try out a new bar. It was a quick walk for us. As someone who isn't into soccer, I found out as we were walking that it's FC opening day at the new stadium. Walk up to The Pitch and we're told masks aren't required if you're vaxed. It's cool, they had the doors and windows open. I was highly annoyed they invited 2 Mac n cheese food trucks (hey diversity) but we headed upstairs to eat and people watch. One hour later the place was packed. Everyone headed to the patio to watch the parade from Washington Park. It was a lot for me and I had a panic attack so we left once the streets cleared out a bit. This is actually a pretty cool sports bar that's set up well for crowds, I just wasn't ready. read more

Great event bar right across the street from the stadium. Excellent local and micro brew offerings on tap and great service at the bar. They often bring in food trucks for satisfy your hunger, otherwise there's not much nearby to munch on. Upstairs bar and patio so when the weather is nice, it's great to hang on the patio. Great bar with good people, just don't go there looking for food. read more

I like the layout of this place. It's almost like two places in one. I love the outdoor patio. It was so chill. I can imagine it being crazy during FC Cincinnati games but I went on an off day. The vibes were high. The census was low and the music was fantastic! Not sure what my it's like when it's poppin' but I really liked the low key vibe. I can see parking being problem but it was easy when I went. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

Was on the 2nd floor and roof deck for a private event. It's right across from TQL Stadium and very spacious. Attentive bartenders. Plenty of TV real-estate to watch sports (if that's your thing). It's a great option if you don't want to venture too far from Central Parkway. read more

Plenty of room inside and out, good beer selection, directly across from TQL Stadium. Food trucks great touch. Parking is street for now. That will improve with time but one street over from street car stops and parking on elm & 14th or elm and liberty ether way a 1 block walk. Well played Pitch well played! read more

The first floor men's restroom was occupied so I was directed by a series of 3 signs to the restroom in the basement. This was a classic journey down a long hallway in the basement bathroom, which is always an interesting time. Right away I was impressed by how the green accented floors and the green ceiling and walls really made me feel like I was in an extension of the bar. The restroom itself was stocked with a urinal and two stalls, one of which being a larger handicap stall. The bathroom came well stocked with all the fixins. I'm nitpicking here but the only knock is that they didn't offer paper towels, only a Nova air powered hand dryer. I always like to have the option of using paper towels to dry my hands. All around this was a great restroom experience. I would venture to call it a pooper's paradise. The most impressive thing about my time at clutch was the service. The bartender Joel was working solo. He made a couple great shots and was able to keep the bathroom stocked and clean during a busy couple hours of service. Last thing, the food truck "The Alley" was amazing. Their impossible slider made me question if it was actually beef or not, and the fries were my favorite style "thunder crispy". I would eat here every day. read more

The food truck situation is awful. Waited over 30 minutes for cold, undercooked burgers that were accompanied with super salty and cold fries. A huge waste of money. The bar service is great but the food truck is awful. read more

AVOID THE FOOD TRUCK! We ordered 2 Burrow Burgers & fries. Food took over 30 minutes & once received, fries were cold & burgers were not fully cooked (and we asked for well-done). We advised cook that burgers were not done, his response was "they're 110°." Everyone knows it's done at 165°. The Pitch needs better food truck options. #ThatsAll read more

Great spot to watch a game. Watched some of the World Cup games here yesterday. Great atmosphere and friendly service.

I am so excited for this new bar. from the rooftop, to the drinks and the new tvs in the open area. this bar is PERFECT for our City

The perfect sports bar to hang out with your friends. Not many other spots in OTR that offer big TVs to make watching your game easy. I've been here for Reds Bengals and FCC watch parties. Great deals on drinks and the beer is cold. On non FCC game days there is a ton of street parking that you can find. This place is also great for small and large parties. We just hosted our fantasy football draft about 12-15 people and they were excellent in accommodating us. The service staff definitely cares about the customers. read more

Loved my first visit here! Fun place and loaded with TVs to watch the games and matches. Great atmosphere. The only food is from food trucks parked out back, though. read more

I live just around the corner from this fresh new bar, and it's pretty sweet! Tons of TVs and multiple levels of bar with an outdoor overlook with a perfect view of the stadium where I got to see an awesome view of the first FC "March" come into the West End stadium for the first time. It was awesome! They have a dynamite beer selection and they show love to all sports, plus a very cool memorabilia section on the wall by the downstairs bar with some sweet Cincy throwbacks for style points. Go check this place out! read more

Lacey, Justin, and Wonder Brown are so amazing and personable!! I love it here, obsessed with the ambiance, all the staff is so nice and friendly and the drinks are amazing! read more

doesn't have a phone number. spent 10 minutes trying to find one before I realized they can only be contacted through Twitter or Facebook. They claim it's because of robo calls but I've never seen this at other restaurant. I didn't haven't Facebook until recently so I got lucky. If you don't have Facebook or Twitter you're out of luck. Also if you wanna ask a few simple questions without texting good luck. read more
