Fifty Fifty Gin Club, Cincinnati's first gin bar, opens this week in Over-the-Rhine
Calling all gin fans!
Cincinnati's first gin bar, Fifty Fifty Gin Club, is opening this week in Over-the-Rhine.
The bar is inspired by gin bars in Barcelona and a Cincinnati television institution.
The bar is located on E. 13th Street adjacent to HomeMakers Bar. Both bars are owned and operated by Julia Petiprin.

“As a Cincinnati transplant I always get excited to show people my favorite things that I’ve seen and tasted in other places," Petiprin said in a statement. "The Gin Club does just that. This menu is a collaboration with a few of the incredible bartenders at HomeMakers, our beverage director — Michael Nauer — and myself.”
The bar will feature gin-and-tonics and gin-focused classic cocktails like a Fifty Fifty gin martini, which has a house-made brine for dirty martinis and gimlets.
The bar will also honor Ruth Lyons, a Cincinnati institution, creator of the daytime talk show and broadcasting trailblazer.
The bar will also have beer, wine and snacks sourced from local makers and music from a record player featuring Motown, old school R&B, jazz, and 60s rock n’ roll.
