The Avenue Lounge & SOS Rock Form Partnership to Bring Music to the Masses
In the works for the past three months, The Avenue Lounge has partnered with SOS Rock to fill what they believe is a void in the local music scene: the availability of free shows in a great venue south of the river.  Music lovers have long had the opportunity to see their favorite bands and meet brand new acts each week in venues around the greater Cincinnati area, but only a select few venues offer the combination of local, original music without a cover charge.  Now, The Avenue Lounge can be added to the short list.

So far in this venture, The Avenue has hosted some of the region’s most popular acts including: The Dukes Are Dead, Skeleton Hands, The Harlequins, Oso Bear and Kry Kids to name a few.  On Fridays and Saturdays, audiences have the chance to see these bands and many more in a recently-renovated venue that was formally the location of one of the region’s seediest strip clubs: The Pad.  While The Avenue still boasts a sign on the wall and a dance pole for show, you won’t find any other remnants of its past.  During happy hour The Avenue plays host to local professionals and artists mixed together enjoying craft cocktails and signature martinis.  But the crowd changes on weekend nights as music lovers flock down to see what bands SOS Rock has lined up.

It is our hope at The Avenue that more people will learn about our entertainment offerings and continue to support our venue and the acts we have in store for them.  In light of the recent and sad announcement about Southgate House, we are confident we can help fill the void.
