Lost & Found OTR

At Lost & Found OTR, our journey began with a simple yet profound idea: to be purveyors of good times. Originally a six car garage purchased in 2012, the space was always zoned for commercial use, setting the stage for its eventual rebirth as a welcoming, eclectic venue. From the outset, we envisioned a place where guests could feel inspired and at home—a space built on our shared passion for hosting community gatherings fueled by music, inventive drinks, and comforting hospitality. That spirit of inclusivity is woven into every corner of Lost & Found.

We're committed to a vision that would shape our bar's identity as a beacon of ingenuity and resilience in Cincinnati, Ohio. From its inception, our goal was about more than just serving drinks. We aspire to transform the act of enjoying a cocktail into an art form—a moment for guests to be themselves, let their light shine, and revel in an atmosphere that is both vibrant and welcoming. Our mantra, "to be a purveyor of good times," shines through in every ingredient we select and every experience we curate.

Attention to detail is key. We designed our bar as a sanctuary for creativity, a place where culture and community engagement are fostered by decor, music, lighting, and service that work in harmony to create unforgettable experiences. This philosophy goes beyond cocktails; it's about crafting a space where every element contributes to a celebration of life in all its forms.

At the heart of our success is our ever-evolving menu, which serves as a living canvas reflecting the seasons, local partnerships, and the creative spirit of our team. We believe every drink should tell a story. Whether it's a classic cocktail reimagined with modern twists or a completely new creation born from the bounty of local farms and distilleries, our offerings consistently push the boundaries of flavor and presentation.

In a world of constant change, Lost & Found remains a steadfast beacon of innovation and warmth—a place where every cocktail is a celebration, every team member is valued, and every guest is part of our extended family. We remain dedicated to setting the standard for excellence in cocktail culture.

Stay Lost. 

With love, owners Camilo Otalora & Madeline Aeschbury

We're proud to call Over-the-Rhine home. A deeply historic neighborhood that's all charm, grit, and good times. The streets are lined with 19th-century Italianate buildings, the kind that defines this stretch of Cincinnati. Think tall arched windows, ornate cornices, and a brick exterior that's weathered beautifully with time. It's the kind of building that's seen some things — and now it's home to cocktails, art, and late-night stories.

We're just a short walk from Findlay Market, Washington Park, and all the local gems that make OTR worth exploring. Whether you're shopping small at the market, catching a symphony across the park, or just searching for bars near Findlay Market, you're already in the right place.

There's no shortage of things to do in OTR — vintage shops, record stores, farmers markets, DJs in alleyways, and plenty of spots to stumble into. Come early, stay late, and let the neighborhood pull you in.
