The Ohio River forms the state of Ohio's southern-most border and gives visitors to the area the opportunity to grab a dish or a drink at one of the many bars that dot the riverside. Watch the boats go by, enjoy a cool breeze on a hot summer night or dance the night away while sipping a local twist on an age-old drink at a bar on the river in southern Ohio.
Share a couple of long island iced teas with a friend and watch the sunset over the river at Cabana on the River in Cincinnati, Ohio. The full-service bar features a variety of specialty concoctions and frozen drinks, like the Lava Flow and Caribbean Cosmo, and carries a wide selection of draft, domestic and imported beers, such as Sam Adams, Budweiser and Newcastle.

During the warmer months, listen to live music under the lighted, neon palm trees. As of March 2009, Cabana on the River opens at 11 a.m. and stays hoping until the wee hours of the night.
