When the air turns cold in Cincinnati, we typically have to say farewell to our favorite outdoor patios and restaurants – at least for a few months. Cabin fever can definitely set in, but it doesn’t have to this year! The popular rooftop bar, AC Upper Deck at The Banks, has a solution, with unique (and warm) igloos that are perfect for hanging out in the cold. These rooftop igloos are the coolest place to go in Cincinnati this winter, and you’ll want to gather up a few friends and plan a visit soon.
