CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A retro cocktail bar is set to have its grand opening at the Court Street “Blok” Party Saturday, Sept. 6.

Yellow signs with “Nothing to see here” printed in navy blue lettering have lined the storefront windows of 44 E. Court St. since December. But come this weekend, those signs will be coming down, showing off Downtown’s newest bar, Afterlife.

Owner Tracy Liu says she has always wanted to open a neighborhood bar to bring people together and invoke creativity. That dream is now a reality.

But Liu’s bar is about more than just “great cocktails,” she says.

“It’s about creating a space where people can connect, unwind, and truly be themselves. It’s a welcoming hangout for meaningful conversations and new friendships,” she wrote in a press release.
