Visiting Cincinnati

Hey guys, I'm a Ranger fan from over at Lone Star Ball and am planning my annual baseball roadtrip. This year I will be visitng Cincinnati to catch a game and then I'll be off to the next stop. While I'm there, is there anything I need to see or do (other than the game) before moving on...restaurants, a particular regional beer I need to try, historical sites, areas to avoid, etc? Also, if anyone has tips on getting cheap tickets (coupon codes - we practically give away Rangers tickets to get people to show up) that would be helpful as I am on a budget. Thanks in advance.

i walked down there with my dad once at about midnight
we went to a reds game and he parked in a no parking zone because he isn’t too bright, and the Cincinnati PD towed the car. The impound lot is in Over the Rhine.

no need for prepurchasing tickets
just show up on gameday and ask for the $5 outer view seats. then simply walk down to the seats in the lower bowl between the bases and foul pole.
good question on the local historical sights. Big Bone Lick State Park is nearby if you like buffalo. The Reds Hall of Fame is a great way to spend a couple hours. You could drive by legendary Moeller high school, home of Ken Griffey Jr and one of the mods here.

As far as beer:
Christian Moerlein — lots of variety
Barrel House — if you like ambers
Little Kings — if you like Cream Ale served in 8oz. quantities
Hudepohl/Hudy Delight — if you like cheap-ass beer
Moerlein and Barrel House you can get at the park. Little Kings are at select bars, as is Hudy. Arnold’s on Eighth, I believe, has all four, with Little Kings (which is brewed by hudepohl-Schoenling) in the bottles and the other three on draft.
Further education … here, here, here and here.

Moerlein OTR is an excellent ballpark beer, if you can get over the 8 bucks it costs

Totally agree. That's why I always get one. Either that or a BarrelHouse. Cincy's best Amber.

For locally-brewed beers,
The Hofbrauhaus across the river from the ballpark in Newport, KY has a fine selection and a nice biergarten.
Also, you could crack open a Sam Adams, whose main brewery is on Central Parkway. (But you can get try this back in Dallas, too).

I'll second the Reds HOF and Skyline Chili
Adding on – Montgomery Inn for ribs, Terry’s Turf Club for a burger, Teak or Amarin for sushi, and for local pizza try LaRosa’s. I’m pretty sure the only people who prefer LaRosa’s are people who grew up with it though, so YMMV.
The Museum Center is really cool if you’re into that sort of thing, Newport On The Levee is kind of a one-stop shop for a ton of activities (Bar Louie has a nice pregame happy hour) and you could walk over the bridge to the game, and since you’ll be here in the summer there a bevy of Church festivals you can attend, or Party In The Park if you’re here on a Wednesday.
For the kitschy, you could always try the duck boat tour.

If you think Evolution is 'something Dusty Baker's skills haven't done in ages,'
you’re right, but you might also be interested in the Creation Museum in No. KY. If you’re of the opposite mind, you might be interested in burning the place down.
Also, if you like animatronic dinosaurs, it’s for you.

try Fountain Square
Cheap parking and plenty of restaurants and stuff going on. You can try the RockBottom (good food, good microbrews) and there’s a Greaters (ice cream) right there on the square. There’s also Mcormick and Schmicks (seafood) and Cadillac Ranch (meat market hipster bar/club) Lotsa hotels right on the square as well, but they’re a bit pricey.
And it’s only 4 blocks from the ballpark.
