Cincinnati.com: Cincy Chic - Blog about FB's

When I asked the owner of the new FB’s bar downtown what “FB” stood for, he just smiled and said “whatever you want it to stand for.” I was intrigued with the ambiguity and creativity. But I couldn’t come up with anything fitting. The first thing that came to my mind was Facebook,  because we shorthand “FB” for Facebook at work all…the…time. So, I asked some of my Twitter friends what they thought. My favorite ideas were from @begleyh who suggested Fancy Boots, Funny Bones and Falling Boobs. : ) Falling boobs or not – whatever it stands for, I think it’s a fun concept, and it adds a little character and spontaneity to Cincinnati’s bar scene. Another thing I like about FB’s is their Alice in Wonderland “with a Twist” atmosphere. Remember the Twist Lounge that was next to Pigalls? I loved that place. I loved the feel of the space and the mix of people. There were people of all ages there, and everyone got dressed up to go. I liked that and I couldn’t find it again after it closed.

FB's is an upscale cocktail lounge targeted towards ages 25 and up located one block from the Cincinnatian hotel in Downtown Cincinnati. It's unique design is inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The Rabbit Hole in the basement, a dance club only open on Fridays and Saturdays, targets a younger demographic and has it's own side entrance but may be accessed from the upstairs lounge.

FB’s

126 W. 6th Street, Downtown

The name can mean anything you want. (Full Barrels? Feisty Burritos? Feline Barristers?) And that’s the point, you choose for yourself. But ambiguity in the meaning of the name contrasts with the clear and direct mission of FB’s: to serve an often overlooked clientele in local nightlife – the over 25 crowd.

The main floor cocktail lounge is upscale, but not intimidating- a casual, elegant atmosphere, clean-cut in a sophisticated sort of way. The second floor lounge has a strict dress-code and caters to clients looking for service and style. With a menu of bottle service options that includes a TSM – tableside mixology – option that allows those willing a private bar and tender for an evening, the second floor is themed as a funky living room and inspires socializing.

Of course, the basement hosts a nightclub on weekends. Anyone get in the nightclub, but only those on the list can get upstairs. FB’s encourages reservations and advanced notice for second-floor access. For more information, call (513)246-5333.
