When it comes to public art Cincinnati has an embarrassment of riches. But the appreciation isn’t spread evenly.
My favorite unloved work of art is the Aggravation de l'Espace at Central and Plum.

Remember back in the day when you would see regular updates for months before a new business opened in OTR?
And now so many are opening they don't even bother anymore.
So imagine me riding the bike home from Findlay Market, doing a double-take and thinking "what the hell? where did that come from?"
I did a quick u-turn and went back for a look and the place looked cool enough that I wanted to go back and check it out, so that is just what we did.
I love that new places are opening on Pleasant. It still seems like people from outside the city think of OTR as two blocks of Vine St. plus Washington Park and we can usually roll right into a bar on Republic St. But once the weather warms we'll see if that holds true for Standard Beer as it is a block off Washington Park and I can see people pouring in there when programming ends in the park for the evening.
Standard Beer isn't a typical bar, it almost feels like a cafe. There is a picnic table, a little social area with chairs and a couch, three booths and a sleek bar. They have a pretty cool vibe going on and some interesting looking beers I've never seen before. And a selection of wine.
