Mt. Adams Pride Bar Crawl 2026

About Mt. Adams Pride Bar Crawl 2026

The Mt. Adams Pride Bar Crawl 2026, officially Drag 'em Up the Hill, takes Pride to Cincinnati's liveliest hilltop nightlife district on Saturday, June 20, from 2 to 8 p.m. Part of the neighborhood's growing Mt. Adams Pride programming, this drag-led crawl turns the cluster of bars and patios on the hill into an afternoon-into-evening celebration with a route, a crowd, and plenty of stops. Mt. Adams is famous for packing a dozen bars and restaurants into a few steep, walkable blocks with skyline and river views, which makes it perfect bar-crawl territory. Expect drag hosts leading the way, drink specials at participating spots, and a festive, social crowd hopping from patio to patio as the afternoon rolls on. It is a more freewheeling, daytime-drinking counterpart to the seated brunches and theater nights of Pride season, and a great way to see one of Cincinnati's most distinctive neighborhoods at its most fun. Check-in and the starting point are at Bow Tie Cafe, 1101 St. Gregory Street, in the heart of the Mt. Adams business district. Parking on the hill is notoriously tight, so take a rideshare up and let someone else handle the drive, which is the safe call for a crawl anyway. Wear comfortable shoes for the hills and the cobblestones, pace your drinks across the afternoon, and bring a valid ID since this is a 21-and-over crawl. For a social, neighborhood-flavored Pride afternoon, Drag 'em Up the Hill is a spirited Cincinnati Pride 2026 pick.
