This is the field of 64 in The Cincinnati Man’s 2009 Best Bar in Cincinnati Tournament. If your bar didn’t make it to the list, tough shit. You’ll get it in next year. Matchups will start this week, with four per match in the first round. Winners go to head-to-heads, and so on until we crown a winner.
