2 Gay-Friendly Restaurants in Cincinnati, OH

Unlike many ice cream chains that rely on industrial production, Graeter's still makes its ice cream the old-fashioned way using a French pot process for a dense, creamy texture. This location in downtown Cincinnati near Fountain Square is one of several franchises across the city, but it's a convenient stop for locals and visitors alike. Hours vary by day, so plan accordingly.

You'll find Parkside as a straightforward downtown diner focused on breakfast and lunch. It's a casual spot where you can grab a bite any day from 8am to 3pm. Reviews mention good breakfast items and positive feedback from lunch regulars. Note that Yelp data suggests this venue may be permanently closed, so call ahead before visiting. If you're in the area and Parkside isn't open, Graeter's is another nearby option. The diner's limited hours make it a solid choice for early meals, but not for dinner. Keep an eye on their status if you're planning a trip.
