Corporex has introduced two new bars as part of their $1 billion Ovation development on the Newport riverfront. Among these, Market Bar is a new venture by Columbus entrepreneurs expanding their reach into the Cincinnati area, with another bar dubbed High Note perched atop Newport's Homewood Suites by Hilton. This new expansion reflects an ongoing trend of development and economic growth in the region, signaling a major investment in local hospitality and entertainment opportunities.
The Columbus-owned Market Bar, known for its spot in Dublin's North Market Bridge Park, will make its debut in Cincinnati by the summer, according to LinkNKY. "It’s a real honor to become part of such a vibrant, growing community," said Andrew Vecellio, VP of market development at Corporex. High Note, an in-development rooftop bar, has already begun serving guests of the hotel and public patrons, featuring both indoor and outdoor seating spaces.
While High Note operates and caters to its clientele with a selection of made-from-scratch cocktails, wines, and various beer options including local crafts and domestic selections, Market Bar's opening is eagerly anticipated with no exact opening date confirmed. The information provided by Cincinnati Business Journal portrays both establishments as potential new staples for the local night scene, with Market Bar's ingress into the Cincinnati market signaling a strategic expansion for its Columbus owners.
The first-floor establishment Market Bar will join the collection of amenities available within the footprint of the Hilton property, adding to the multifaceted appeal of the Ovation development as it strives to be a key destination for both tourists and local residents. "It’s early, but you really can’t feel that sense of community," Volker elaborated in a statement obtained by LinkNKY. While an exact date remains elusive, the anticipation for Market Bar's summer opening is palpable, setting the stage for a new chapter in Newport's burgeoning riverfront narrative.
Details about the Ovation development's progress have become clearer thanks to insights from Local 12. The pieces gradually fit together to create a picture of a destination in-the-making, where contemporary accommodations meet the demands of modern leisure—a place where one can imagine raising a glass against the backdrop of the city's expanding vistas.
