About this place Bloom OTR

Bloom OTR is a gay dance club at 1120 Walnut Street in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district. It took over the former Below Zero Lounge space and renovated it, and reviewers mention better sound, lighting and layout. It runs DJ nights and drag shows and draws a mixed crowd. It opens Thursday to Saturday from 20:00 until 02:00, with a Sunday daytime slot from 11:00 to 15:00, likely a drag brunch, so check the schedule. Fridays and Saturdays after 22:00 are the peak. Google reviews average 4.5.

Loved this place! Went with a couple friends and we had a blast! We went to the Street Heat 18+ event and the music was good, the drinks I had were great, and overall just an amazing place to party hard and have fun without a worry in the world. Will be back soon!

The truth is, it was supposed to be amazing. But I didn't even last 15 minutes. Ninety minutes of preparation. For a show, the place is small and you can't walk around or see anything because it's so narrow. Otherwise, everything was fine. The people...

This is the kinda community bar you want to visit! I'm from another city with lots more options and bounced around until we got to Bloom. I loved the drag show and the music selection. Definitely would come back.
