St Mary's Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption

Reviewed By MsEditor2 - Cincinnati, United States

We recently moved to the area and had seen this beautiful church which reminded me of Notre Dame. We stopped on a Monday morning to walk through. While it isn't on the size scale of most Western European churches I've visited, it is equally impressive, especially the stained glass windows. We were surprised at what a phenomenally beautiful cathedral, which reminded us of Europe, could be found in Covington. It is indeed a treasure. The marble along with the intricate mosaics from Germany pair well with the Venetian glass and make this a must see if you are in Northern Kentucky.

Braxton Brewing Company

Reviewed By DeborahV319 - Hudson, United States

We sat outside the front door in the parking lot for a couple hours on a great September day and enjoyed a few of their draft brews. A bouncer at the door was monitoring mask usage and monitoring a queue of people waiting to go up to the rooftop bar. Although it took a couple hours, we got a text and went up to the roof for another round. Everyone was appropriately spaced and the bartenders were all very attentive. We'll be back!

Nice conference venue. Clean restrooms and meeting spaces. Attended in November and enjoyed the Christmas decor. Dinner was okay. They served some type of steak.
