IT’S GIRL’S NIGHT!!!

Pursuit of Delights was recently given the opportunity to host 15 of our friends at 21c Hotel’s cocktail terrace in Downtown Cincinnati for a fun girl’s night!  If you’re unfamiliar with 21c Museum hotel, they are a Louisville based combination contemporary art museum and boutique hotel chain. Since opening in 2006, they have expanded to 7 additional locations in different states- with more coming soon! They have won many awards as the top hotel in America and also named in the top 10 of the world by some!

There’s a pretty cool museum at each location that is open 24 hours a day and is free of charge. Yes, FREE! It is North America’s only museum dedicated to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art of the 21st century. Each location also has an onsite restaurant reflecting the flavor of its city. Another fun trend you’ll notice is the iconic penguin. Every location has them throughout the establishment, but each in a different color. Lastly, if you’re ready for your body to be transformed, be sure to visit the spa. It will likely be one of the best you’ve ever received. Trust me on this!

Now…more about 21c Cincinnati’s cocktail terrace…

The terrace is open seasonally at 5pm Wednesday-Saturday as long as weather permits. You must enter through Gano Alley and take the elevator to the 11th floor. Once you’re there, behold….a cocktail terrace with an amazing view of downtown Cincinnati! The location is in such a great spot and allows you also to see Mt Adams and other areas of the city off in the distance. There are lounge couches, high top tables, and low tables all available to fit your liking.

As mentioned, Pursuit of Delights had the pleasure of hosting a girl’s night on the terrace and we had a blast!! We were able to try their unique cocktails and try light bites from Metropole, the restaurant located on the main floor.

For cocktails, I’d highly recommend one of their signature slushies, such as the “Kiss From A Frose” or one of their signature cocktails, such as the “My Little Red Bike”. The Little Red Bike is served in a bottle ya’ll so be aware of this if you are self-conscious about how it looks (we personally loved the presentation of it!)

For light bites, we all shared a few servings of the hummus and pita, meat and cheese, and chips and salsa. It was the perfect amount of food to snack on while having a drink and enjoying the ambiance. My personal favorite was the chips and salsa. I don’t know what they season their chips with, but they were SO GOOD! Next time I go, I will likely try the oatmeal cream pie to pair with my slushie for a bit of childhood nostalgia. :)

For those wondering about the weather, of course we are now in the heat of summer and it is HOT, but don’t let this deter you from visiting. There are plenty of shaded areas to choose from. We went when the temperature was 90 degrees, but were not overwhelmed with heat due to the shade. Once the sun went down, it was even better. Speaking of, when you go, pleaseee try to stay and watch the sun set. The colors in the sky are simply beautiful and will make you have a newfound appreciation of the city.

If you’re looking for a relaxing night filled with great drinks, great views, and an intimate vibe, you should absolutely visit the cocktail terrace. It was the perfect way to end a Saturday night in a space that was not overly crowded, but was still lively. You can also rent this space for 20-75 of your guests for a private event as well!

Thank you 21c for the opportunity to have this event. It was everything we needed to have a spectacular girl’s night!
