Editorial Reviews from the web
In Short Since opening in 1861, three generations of the Arnold family have lived upstairs and operated the bar. Legend has it that the second-floor bathtub was used to make gin. Since the 1960s, various owners have helped to further establish its spirited atmosphere by adding a dinner menu and nightly jazz and piano acts. Walls are covered with signs and portraits from the '40s and...

Sports bar in the Westin hotel offers TVs, a clubby vibe and pub grub in a casual atmosphere.

If you're looking for an antidote to...

That was actually Jamaican Clam Chowder and was very different. I explained to you It wasn't New England Clam Chowder, offered to refund your money and give you another soup when you called. I deeply am sorry you didn't like your soup and did everything in my power to make thing right with you.

I will never order the soup again. I had a carryout of New England Clam Chowder - obviously the cook has never had it before because his/her version doesn't even resemble it. Anyone can put milk and butter in a pan with a can of clams. Chowder should be thick and chunky, not the consistency of water from a fawcet.
Make sure you have ALL the ingredients on hand before you put it on the menu.

There are very few great historical bars left in America. They've either vanished or, worse, become some cheese-ball parody of themselves. Having traveled all over this country and drank my way across most American cities, there are four bars that I put above all others: The Green Parrot in Key West, Vesuvio in San Francisco, Miller's in Chicago, and Arnold's in Cincinnati. I discovered...
