Proudly Bringing Scotland to Cincinnati

Nicholson’s is located in the heart of the Theater District in downtown Cincinnati on the Connector line. We are a convenient walk, drive, or streetcar ride to all of the sports and cultural events the city has to offer.  We offer a dining experience unlike any other in the city. A restaurant and bar in the heart of the theater district serving food and drink in a genuine Scottish tavern setting, taking inspiration from the public houses found throughout Great Britain and providing guests with authentic hospitality. Nicholson’s offers a wide variety of local craft beer, European ales, and spirits–along with the largest selection of single malt scotch whiskies in the region combined with a vast bourbon collection and proprietor’s barrel program.
