One of the few places left to see touring indie bands and local favorites onstage.

by Contributor

In Short
The ballroom has a large stage and offers music fans two levels to congregate. Upstairs, there's some seating (a few couches) to satisfy the genuine lounge lizard. The bar is downstairs, with tables scattered about. Music fans get a little bit of everything here, from punk-rock shows by city scenesters to big indie stars on tour. This is also the place to see those tribute shows (Neil Diamond, etc.) to benefit area good causes.

Great place to watch live music!

by briceee

This is a really great place to watch live music of all kinds...the beer is served in cans, the place is huge, and it's a fun place to hang with friends and either watch people on an open mic or watch a legitimate band. You don't have to dress up or do anything but come and enjoy the music.

• Pros: Great live music venue
• Cons: Looks strangely like a Frat House

the real deal

by quiddity9

What Bogarts once was. Gritty, adaptable, good sound and NON-Clear Channel. Definitely the coolest place in Greater Cincinnati. It has the vibe of lower Eastside NYC. Great variety. Decent open mic, the few remaining worthwhile touring acts (Junior Brown, Wesley Willis {PBUH}, etc.) and a basically cool scene.

• Pros: Coolest in town, Coolest for miles, Can stagger home

Finally I'm Home

by krista7519

The music at the Southgate House is normally the best of the locals. The best of the locals have met some people and they are the best of the Mid-west and Eastern Coast. Those people know some people who are the best in the South and the West. So our music melting pot comes to play at the Southgate house because the owners are great people and the place is huge and it used to be an old frat house. There are couches on the porch and it sits in the trees in between the city and the river. Finally there is a place to go to see unbelievable live music and sit or dance. Noone knows about it. Thank God!

• Pros: Good beer selection, cool bartender, cool management

best music the area has to offer

by GustheGator

The Southgate House, actually located just across the river in Newport Kentucky is by far the best place, and perhaps the only left in the area, to catch the latest in addition to the well established local acts. In addition to this, they also showcase national touring indie bands, as well as folk acts and other bands involved in the no depression movement. If your looking for a live show, you won't find a better spot in the area.

• Pros: inexpensive, good music, great show environmen
• Cons: limited parking, no food

The house that Thompson Built

by troopintj

This is the finest place to catch a show in the greater Cinci area. You can't have a bad spot to watch the show. You can sit or stand 180 degrees around the band. Also, they have adequate lighting and sound to bring in the big little acts.

Southgate Rocks

by astroclone

Is there anything else that needs said? Where else can you see The White Stripes for 8 bucks and get a PBR for $2.25?
