Laveau Takeover Dinner and Pairing at Cincinnati Distilling

Did you know that Cincinnati Distilling has a restaurant and outpost in downtown Cincinnati? Laveau, our Creole/Cajun concept, is located just off Fountain Square on 6th Street. Step into Laveau, and you’ll be transported to Bourbon Street with our New Orleans-inspired cocktails and cuisine. From crawfish boudin balls to shrimp and grits, gumbo, and po-boys, you’ll experience the vibrant flavors of NOLA right here in Cincinnati.

​

We’ve often heard that Laveau is one of Cincinnati’s best-kept secrets, but we don’t want it to be a secret anymore. So, we’re taking Laveau on the road! Join us on September 24th for a special Laveau Dinner Takeover at Cincinnati Distilling. Enjoy a four-course meal prepared by Laveau’s chef, complete with cocktail pairings to complement each dish.

​

In addition to the dinner and pairings, Paula Wiggins will be joining us in the Millcroft Gallery to discuss her art. A painter and illustrator, Paula has worked across various media, creating art for magazines, books, posters, calendars, and CD covers. Her unique approach to painting involves layering canvases with paper, found objects, charcoal, and, of course, paint.
