Pro Tips
- MadTree Psychopathy IPA is brewed in Cincinnati. It is a bold, citrusy IPA and one of Ohio's most popular craft beers.
- The Kentucky bourbon options are a unique benefit of CVG's location on the Ohio-Kentucky border. Ask about the current bourbon rotation.
- CVG is no longer a major Delta hub, so this Sky Club is rarely crowded. You can often find a quiet corner even during moderate peaks.
- The Cincinnati-style chili dip is a nod to the city's famous Skyline Chili tradition. It appears regularly on the snack menu.
